I lost a ton of hair! I didn’t think it was going to stop but it did eventually. Months 4-9 were rough but I didn’t go bald! And you won’t either!

jjsasha replied to Emailkariann's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Probably 400-600 calories. I'm 5 months out now and averaging 1000-1200. -
I'm 2 weeks away from 5 months and have lost 24%.

Hi! I was sleeved on 2/15/17 and have lost 62lbs since surgery and a total of 74 since I started my journey! -
Is this normal?
jjsasha replied to Iwanttofitinmyweddingdress's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes! Very common. I talked to my doctor about it at then time... he said liquid going in, liquid coming out. Ew. Hang in there, it will pass. lol -
I had one. Some surgeons require them and some don't.

I find it hard to get water (or any liquid) in. What should my goal be? Almost 11 weeks out. I'm probably averaging 32oz. Is that enough to keep dehydration away? I was admitted to the hospital once already for dehydration and would really like to avoid that again.
-
Have you reached out to your doctor? Something doesn't sound right. I'm have some similar issues, I'm 10 weeks out. I recommend colace if you're having constipation issues. I hope things start working soon!

How much water should I be drinking?
jjsasha replied to jjsasha's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I know I need to make this much more of a focus. I'm finding it difficult to get the fluid in and the food in. Still figuring it out I guess. -
I've had a couple or complications but now I'm back on track, my issue is I can't eat! I'm 6.5 weeks out and can eat 2oz of yogurt, or 1.5oz of chicken salad, or 1 slice of deli meat. At what point should I expect to eat a somewhat reduced regular diet?
-
Not mean at all!! It IS an amazing tool. I'm just ready for the next stage. Because of all the back and forth in the hospital I think my stomach is weeks behind. Thanks for all your help!
-
Oh I don't want to eat eat eat, I just want to be I don't know more normal.
-
I have a portal vein blood clot and just got over a nasty throat infection. Thanks, glad to hear. I think my stomach is just behind.
-
Has this happened to anyone else? When did it subside? I'm (no exaggerating) am nauseous 24/7, having a hard time getting liquids and food in, nothing sounds appetizing. I've been the the ER twice for pain and dehydration and have had every test in the book. There is nothing wrong. I'm miserable. Is this going to be my new life? HELP

5 weeks out and still feeling horrible.
jjsasha replied to jjsasha's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've been in to see them twice.. no leaks, no inflammation, nothing. Just nausea. Their cure is to wait it out.. -
It could be an infection or allergic reaction, OR just the fact that you had major surgery. Hang in there!
-
Same issue here. I'm 4 weeks out and nauseous all the time. Hospitalized for 7 days due to extreme stomach and back pain and they couldn't find anything wrong. I'm miserable.

When was your 1st stall and how long did it last?

Plastic Surgery Before Goal
jjsasha replied to Dashofpixiedust8's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If it's bothering you and possibly hindering further weight loss I would absolutely have it removed. -
Doctors Appointments Galore
jjsasha replied to alli.wakefield's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
When do you start work? I was able to make a lot of my appointments either before work or on my lunch. You don't NEED to tell her anything but I guess it could get awkward. -
How long did it take to get approved for surgery by ins?
jjsasha replied to Mallory95's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
5 days. Good luck! -
I'm 9 days post op and have a huge amount of back pain, it starts in the middle of my back and radiates up my left side. I spoke to my doc and he said it sounds muscular and to rest. I've also noticed I have a slight fever, 99.2 and my heart rate is roughly 95. I just feel crappy. Any possibility this could be a leak?
-
Finally got my surgery date!! 2/15 at 730am! I don't know if I'm more nervous or excited! Anyone else have 2/15?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How long did you take off from work?
jjsasha replied to XmeghannstarX's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Exactly the same for me. Surgery on 2/15 and returning to work on 3/8, 3 full weeks.
