I am over 3 months out after surgery. I got cold sinus infection. I am having hard time getting protein and fluids in now. My body is have a hard time getting over this illness. Anybody else have a hard time the first time they were sick

adrinanna started following Stall breaking and monthly goals, Sick after surgery, Really tired and and 7 others

The doctor stated it was normal at three months. Your body has gone is going through a lot of changes so being tired is normal

I am three months post op. I have been so tired lately. Is this normal? Or just due to summer heat

I was allowed salad at 6 weeks but told to eat with caution and always protein first. I was at a business meeting and had a little and have done a 1/2 salad from Wendy's -
Is there anyone here who does NOT track weight loss?
adrinanna replied to Elen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I weigh on the 1st and 16th of the month and this all allow myself. If I did not put those restrictions on myself, I could drive myself crazy. When the doctor asked for a goal weight I gave a 40 pound weight range and if people ask I say I don't have a definite final goal. My goal is basically where if I choose healthy food and reasonable portion size and exercise at least 180 minutes per week and maybe an occasion treat like (once a month) whatever weight that is will be the weight I will be. I will not commit to exercising 2 plus hours a day and drinking Protein shakes for 2 meals every day in order to weigh less. It is not that I am not committed to weight loss but I am more committed to my sanity. -

Purging your clothing
adrinanna replied to 2bsleeved26's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't have answers because I have only gone down one size. The disadvantage of being large. I think I am close passing to another size soon. I am thinking about once get to the next size 20W. I will get rid of all the 24W. Getting rid of some clothes makes me sad. . The bra question should be interesting. If I lose much more in the chest I will have no choice in the matter and when it comes to working out a good supporting bra can make a big difference. -
I understand what you are going through. I feel like I am not losing any faster since surgery than I did when I was on the pre-op diet. The good part is I am still losing and I am not having to rely completely on my own self control. I try to get smart but it is nice be satisfied on smaller portions. If you don't have body composition scales, I would highly recommend them. I have only lost 21 pds in 2 months but 35 pds of that has been fat lost so that number makes me feel better. . My Water weight keeps going up and I don't understand why.

I normally three causes of migraines being dehydrated. Hormone imbalance or sinus pressure. I have only had minor headaches since surgery. If you had migraines and plain headache is minor

Stall breaking and monthly goals
adrinanna replied to Womanvsmirror's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i am not proposing that i have answer because I am only over 6 weeks out...For the year I have lost 50 pounds. I was looking to set a goal for the rest of the year. I was looking at realistic goal of 30 pds. This is only 5 pounds a month. I am looking for a stretch goal of 40 and addition stretch of 50. As far as setting a monthly goal, I think it may be good to give you something to strive for but just be careful not to beat yourself up over it. I am a firm believer in SMART goal (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely). I think 20 pounds in a month may be a little ambitious but I am losing quite slow. -

adrinanna replied to singinshell's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Look at the syntax nectar shakes. They are not milk base so easier to handle with the heat. I like the Crystal Sky flavor.
