Orthostatic hypotension is kicking my Butt!

@ I didn't have any co-morbid's either. This is the only weird thing I have going. @ I've got my fingers crossed that it will just go away. -
What's your "weight loss pet peeve?"
Elode replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@Shadow427 Oh that's rough! I wouldn't want to split either, you could always eat before and tell them you already ate but you could still go out to chat with them.I would be going to a coffee house, it's hard to split up a coffee tab! Lol! -
12 days post opt. Can I take laxatives?
Elode replied to del112's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@del112 Drink some "smooth move" tea instead, it's natural and will help you go! -
I had to do two weeks of just protein drinks, sugar free Popsicles, jello & broth. It's not easy, your body is probably in shock but you won't die. The worst thing you could do is cheat and have to start over. I know it sucks but keep strong and it will be over with before you know it. Make sure you don't go too long between shakes and drink lots of water. Believe it or not I'm putting myself on a 7 day liquid diet for the heck of it! I like to Let my stomach rest at times. I know probably sounds crazy to you but it's easier after surgery!! Stay strong!!!

@@Caroline08042015 No, but I make spaghetti squash and use it for noodles now! Best trade off yet! If you try it Let us know if it's good.

How long did the fast weight loss last for you?
Elode replied to KathyRS's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was all over the place. I haven't gained any along the way yet. I don't weigh very often though, I didn't want to drive myself nuts. I've lost 100 lbs in 10 months and that 10 months FLEW by so I'd say that was fast!! -
@@kranky813 That was the second phase of my eating plan after surgery. I did feel restriction on it and I only measured out a couple ounces at a time and usually couldn't eat it all. It depends on how thick you make things.

@@dhrguru This made me laugh! Only because I had a incident similar to your the other day. My husband has been supportive too and does comment on my progress when I shamelessly prompt him to. The other day we were watching the news and our local weather lady has lost some weight which he was quick to bring up and say how much better she looks. That was an instant "WTH" moment! I said some snippy comment, shut the TV off and tossed the remote on the other couch. Ha! Without even thinking, I felt kinda dumb afterwards for snapping Like that because I know he didn't even put two and two together. Men are different creatures, they don't think like us. I do whole heartedly believe at times they don't want to give too much praise because they don't want us the get a swollen head and look start looking elsewhere. That wouldn't happen in my case but I can see how it would cross a mans mind. I know he loves me and is proud by the way he acts more than what comes out of that big yapper of his. Men, smh!

Sounds delightful! I will have to save this.

@@wannaBthinsoon oh crap! They have two different types to chose from either wide calves or regular. They were the Today's special value so that's why they sold out. They will come back. I was reading reviews and people who bought them went back and bought more so that's probably the problem. I should have bought another pair when I had the chance. I love the Merlot ones for fall!!
-
They are pants or whatever I decide I want them to be! People are so quick to tell someone what they can and can't wear at certain weights. Sure, some articles of clothing don't necessarily flatter everyone but I've decided I will not allow anyone to tell me what I can and cannot wear ever again so to celebrate that new found freedom I'm wearing leggings, My daughter snapped a picture and I'm sharing it!!! Like it or not!! Oh and when my new tall boots show up this week that cover my thick legs I'm going to wear them too!!! Hope everyone is winning their own battles.

@@wannaBthinsoon Get them, I want another color now @@sineadorebellion Thank you! @@muzical1 Me too!

I've never heard that but as long as you doing the work I don't think your body will just shut off at a year!

You'll get there, do put too much pressure on yourself with time limits.
