Update and Picturessss! :D
Ladystorm replied to VanessaVSGforme's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
@@Ladystorm Are you getting enough fluids and Protein?? Are you on any meds that might need adjusting (diabetes, hypertension)? Are you taking Vitamins? Call your surgeon - it's normal to be tired after major surgery but it seems you aren't just tired if you can't get out of bed.It's the sciatica.... ???? Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App My sciatica was at its worse BEFORE my surgery. It was either back/piriformis surgery or weight loss surgery with hopes that losing weight...helped! I decided weight loss surgery would in turn help me with so many other things. HBP. SUGAR LEVELS. ANXIETY. So I went with weight loss surgery. My surgery was 9/2/15 and believe me, sciatica wasn't gone over night. I just kept after all the protein (which I still do now) and little by little I tried my best to get up out of bed. I rode a stationary bike for 2 minutes which took everything I had...the next day 4 minutes...the next day 6 minutes and some days went back down to 2 minutes but the point was I WAS TRYING MY BEST. One October day...I woke up and wanted to go shopping for fall decorations and when we got to Target...my husband went to get my the electric buggy to ride around in because I couldn't walk...and this particular day I said "no babe, I don't think I need that today" I WALKED AND WALKED AND WALKED. My husband had tears in his eyes. I had tears in mine. The pain was gone. I don't know what it was...or why it left...but I thank God every day because I thought I was dying!!!! Maybe I stretched it out. Maybe I lost just enough to ease some pressure. I don't know. All I can tell you is TRY YOUR BEST to move and pray. I will be thinking about you and I truly hope you get better. I know your pain too well. :-( Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Thank you so much!!

As I type I'm laying here bed bound because of sciatica and I think weakness... I was sleeved Aug 1st and I am getting super depressed over this. I'm missing work and my strength so much. How much longer will I be stuck in bed? I was OK a week ago but now I'm not doing good. Standing up seems impossible right now Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App -

Other than drinks/soup, what do you mix your Genepro into?
Ladystorm replied to trekker954's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
People mix it in sauces and salad dressing. Hot cereals, shakes, puddings. I love GENEPRO Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App -
