I am only 4 weeks post op, but I think my carbs are entirely too low. I also do not think I am eating enough. What are some good carbs you guys are eating? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Do you count carbs?
spunkyheather replied to spunkyheather's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
He didn't tell me anything about carbs at all. He just focused on Protein. But yet at my early stages, I could have yogurt and creamed Soups, they have carbs. My net carbs are very low. I was wondering if thats the norm. Thanks so much for your info! -
If so, what do you eat it with? I am 1 month out and able to eat anything now. Just want something easy on the stomach. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

4 weeks post op new nausea? Anyone?
spunkyheather posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel great, but since last night I have been having intermittent nausea. I have no pain. I did take Zofran ODT, but of course it makes me sleepy. Anyone else experience it? I am on Protonix. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I am 17 days post op. I have this terrible cold that started yesterday. I called the office and said since I am newly post op they didn't want me taking anything but clairtin. Of course I was sick as a dog last night and couldn't sleep. Then, in the middle of the night, every time I would drink, I get this gurgling noise in the back of my throat, my stomach makes this weird noise and I get nausea. This is all new. I am thinking maybe because I am sick? Every time I take a drink it happens and I feel like I may puke. Help? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 7 days post op. I cannot find a comfortable position to sleep. I have a big body pillow and every time I try to sleep on any side, it gets achy. Any suggestions? Also, did anyone have insomnia? I wake up several times a night. Finally, being 7 days post op, I thought my pain would be gone. However, I still have continued dull pain from time to time. Is that normal?

Did anyone experience flushing?
spunkyheather posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on day 6/7 of my pre op diet which consists of 3 Protein shakes a day and clear fluids. I have felt fine up until today. Today I am more sleepy, have a little headache and have some flushing on my face and neck. I did call the doctors office and they suggested I add another Protein shake as they feel I need more calories. Did anyone else experience flushing? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
