    Five days post op and I feel awful

    Oh yes am walking I have to chase my 2yr around during the day . The only real rest time I get is when he naps which is about 1 1/2 hr if am lucky.
  2. I can't get the calium chews down (am doing ok with muilt vitamins) and am so tried I have 0% in the energy dept and it gets worse long during the day. My left shoulder is throbbing and am having to ice it down. Am also a stay at home mom with two kids under 5 (one goes to school daily) and my husband works nights. Am getting about half the amount of Fluid and Protein I need daily. Sorry for the rant I just feel awful.

    tylenol 3 giving me the shakes

    I did and they they recommended I stop taking it. Yesterday was just awful I will never take Tyenol3 again 🤢
  4. I was given this for pain every four hours ,but I only end up talking it twice a day after eating am and pm. After I took it this morning I had the shakes about two hours from it.
  5. I have slowly worked my way up to about 40oz of Water a day and have been using the GENEPRO Protein. Am still thirsty I real want a tall glass of skin milk or ice water. Anybody else is this normal ?
  6. 4 days post op VGS and it's the same thing but instead of water I want a tall cold glass of skim milk 🐄. Which is odd because during the pre op diet I never had milk.
  7. Somehow I ended up 4lbs heavier the before the surgery. Am two days post op and other then Water,broth and,sugar free popsicles I haven't been able to eat much since the surgery. I weighed my self this and am down a pound ,but still heavier then before surgery. Normal ?

    Can you use Tums after surgery

    I have some but the doctor told me not to use then yet and Incant find the gas x strips in my area
  9. Am 2 days post op still dealing with gas pains that run from my left abdomen to the left shoulder . Been trying to get some sleep keep waking up to heartburn. Surgeon gave me a once a day tablet for the heartburn but it's not really helping . My mouth is reall dry and I very thirsty .Thought maybe Tums would help?
  10. Am home now and the surgeon said everything went picture prefect. Right now my stomach is a little sore and am still very tired . OMG the gas pains they run down the middle of my back or from abdomen up to my shoulder. Gas-x strip don't seem to do much and other ideas.
  11. I don't want to run out and spend a lot on clothing until I reach goal weight. The goodwill and thrift stores in my area are lackluster . Since am a stay at home mom I don't need anything dressy except for church . Any ideas? I was think about maybe Sams club? I have a Target near by but the plus size section is nonexistent . What did you do ?
  12. Am on day 9 and I cheated tonight I boiled my self two eggs and ate 1 1/2 the thing about it about 15mins later I felt so nauseated I had to got lay down 🤢
  13. Am on day 8 of my pre op diet and am so so so hungry all the time but am sticking to it. Am not talking about emotional hunger but genuine tummy rumbling hunger. My ? Is does this go away post op? A friend swears from the start she has only been honestly hungry a hand full of times post op the surgery. I can deal with the emotional hunger but I don't know if I can go another month dealing with tummy rumbling all the time .
  14. Man my breath stinks it's bad enough am grossing my self out . Please tell this doesn't continue after surgery?
  15. Am on day 10 of my pre op diet (four Protein shakes a day plus Jello and sugar free popsicles ) . If my dragon breath is any indicator am in ketosis (its so bad I gross my self out not to mention my poor husband). Surprisingly It has gotten better emotionally ,but am dead tried all the time. It's the night that's the problem. I wait as long as I can to have that last Protein shake and I have a popsicle or jello before bed. Even with that i have been waking up around 1am with a rumbling tummy . I get up and drink as much Water as I can go back to bed only one be woken up an hour later with the same problem. This goes on until about 7am when I have my first shake. Am now honestly wishing I had waited to see if I could lower my BMI more so I could at least have the option of eating a lean protein at night(if your BMI is 50< It's the same diet but with a lean protein at night).
