No, lotion or powder. I tried it on my shoulder today and that worked a little better but not great. -

Looking for my husband downtown manhattan. -
I just got mine yesterday. I asked the dr. last time and he said just to make sure they had everything I needed and the numbers to go with them. They do. I will se them for a few weeks. I could not chew the Vitamins without gagging, so this is better than nothing!

So depressed, I almost cried in Dr's office.
frozengrapes posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So, I went for my 3 week follow up today. Since ive been there 2 WEEKS ago I have lost 1 pound. 1 freaking pound. A week of pureed mush under 800 calories, close to my Protein and liquid goals, and I lose A pound! It took all my strength not to break down and cry from frustration. WTH? I am so disheartened. -

He told me Im doing well and not to worry about it. He told me the loss will be like steps and landings, not like a slide. Ive heard of the 3 week stall, but technically its been week 2 and 3 stall for me. I feel like im doing so well, not 1 cheat and doing everything possible and NOTHING. It will take a few days to get rid if the funk and the feeling that Ive wasted my time. -
Good luck to you. I'm almost 3 weeks out and it isn't easy and still have those thoughts of did I do the right thing. I also have the thoughts is it going to work for me....nothing else did so wtf not? right?

Back to work tomorrow :( nervous
frozengrapes posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will be going back to work tomorrow, exactly 2 weeks from date of surgery. I hope I have enough energy to make it through the day. Hope I can get all my liquids in. Hope I have no bathroom issues. Hope people don't ask me what surgery I had. You all have been great these last two weeks. -

Type II Diabetes After Surgery
frozengrapes replied to SamPSUfan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was told to stop all type II meds after surgery. I was on metformin and trulicity. I have not taken anything since surgery and my highest reading has been 104! of course im only 2 weeks out and not really eating anything so we shall see if it keeps up. -
Eating too fast.. Aaarrgh!
frozengrapes replied to judy vsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

When does hair loss begin?

Does anyone know the % of people this usually affects? -
Very grouchy husband after vgs
frozengrapes replied to LMSWNYC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No, not at all. My husband has been super supportive at every turn. You husband is insecure about the new you. He may need reassurance that you did this for you and no one else. Explain to him how you need his support and that you want him with you every step of the way. -
16 lbs gone onto pureed foods. who knew I'd be so happy to eat yogurt and cottage cheese? went out and bought some baby spoons. don't know how ill feel after 2 weeks, but im so excited now.
-
I am already taking 40mg nexium each day, but the acid is constant day and night and keeping me awake. I just started pureed foods yesterday. Help!
-
So much acid. Not sleeping.
frozengrapes replied to frozengrapes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I have trouble with acid especially a few months before surgery. No over the counter meds work for me. The dr gave me another script but that helped less than the Nexium -
1st post=op visit complete!
frozengrapes replied to frozengrapes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So happy for you!My mom had her sleeve 6 weeks ago and said she never thought shed be so excited to eat cottage cheese! I'm wondering... How did your first week post op go? I'm 3 days out and I'm struggling so much. I hear and see so many different stories that i guess I'm just reaching for some hope right about now! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App I was sleeved 8/30 and have been very happy so far. I have been working on getting my Protein and Water up. So far I'm getting about 45 grams protein and 40 oz water. I can definite tell when I take too big of a sip I will feel a really big bubble in my tummy. What are you struggling with??? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Getting my protein in I'm getting about 50 if I'm lucky some days liquid is is hard sometimes I do ok -
