Hormones??? What is going on with me?
toodlerue replied to BecomingMeMissy's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
It could also be the anesthesia leaving your system. I have quite often found myself an emotional wreck 5-14 days after a surgery. I’ve had 12 surgeries in my 54 years! -
Way to go! That’s where I wanna be! How tall are you?
-
That’s better!!!!!

Oops. I’m hoping you made a typo and you weighted 295.2 yesterday morning!

I sometimes have to take a swallow of water at the end of my meal just to get the taste of the food out of my mouth. My husband makes me get water when we go out just to make the server feel better🤣

Starting Pureed Stage on Monday. Ideas?
toodlerue replied to heatherdw's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I actually blended up some roast that I made for the family with some of the juice. It was really good. I also did some of the carrots too -
There is an app called Get-2-Goal. It tracks your weight and lets you know see where you show be according to your weight & procedure.

Yes

Throw a handful away every time you think about eating some! Take control of getting rid of them🤣

Be stronger then the cheese balls! Can you move them out of your site? That’s what I have to do when I’m tempted by a food that has been brought into the house that is my weakness.

I got these at Sprouts in the medical refrigeration area. They are very small. I take them twice a day.

Surgery for illness instead of weight loss - Gastroparesis
toodlerue replied to Chellesy's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had a RNY because of a previous failed surgery (10 years ago) to correct my L shaped esophagus. 1/2 of my stomach was above my diaphragm. Food was getting stuck just about every day. My BMI was about 34. I didn't have to do any of the pre-op things that people with high BMI’s have to do. My doctor wasn’t a WLS surgeon. He was a thoracic surgeon & told me to find all of my info on the internet. After I decided I wanted to do the surgery it was only 2 months til I had it. I spoke with a nurse and a nutritionist through my insurance (Cigna) several times before & after my surgery. I am 13 months out from my surgery. I have lost 65 lbs. I would like to loose 5 more to get me to the top end of a healthy BMI for my height. The weight has dropped pretty easily & I know it’s gotta be exercise that takes off the last 5. I also know I would not have lost 65 lbs on my own. Now I just got to keep it off & that scares me Good luck in whatever you decide to do. -
I had that Lichen stuff 15 years ago. It was awful! I get really paranoid when I 1st feel the thrush! I have been to the dr & had a pap done to rule out any STD’s. And I didn’t have any! PRAISE JESUS!

I keep getting a yeast infection or thrush since my RNY a year ago. I take acidophilus twice a day but about every 3 weeks I need to take a Diflucan. Anyone else have trouble with too much yeast? I don’t eat bread or carbs, I hardly have any sugar.

I just pureed what I made for the family. A roast puréed with the juice was amazing! Cooked carrots were good too!

Most of the incisions will be above your waist so it should be fine.

I don’t think most nut are Bariatric patients & realize how hard it can be for some of us. -

Constipation Question
toodlerue replied to TG_is_losing_weight's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I take 400 mg of magnesium citrate 3 times a day & eat 4 prunes. My PCP put me on this after I told him I was taking 2 laxatives, 2 stool softeners, miralax & 4 prunes a day. I have to set a reminder to take the magnesium citrate in the middle of the day. I still need to use an enema about once a week. -
I am currently taking 600mg of magnesium a day for constipation. When I did Isagenix & I took the Natural Accelerator & Isaflush I never had any trouble pooping but now I do. I was thinking about trying the accelerator & flush again. Is there anyone in the same boat as me or someone who is currently using these Isa products?
-
My daughter had that too! It’s an allergic reaction to the surgical tape. Cal your doctor to see if it’s alright for you to take them off & use a cortisone cream on them.

Dry skin? Leathery feeling? Skin not as supple as before?
toodlerue replied to Alikiinz's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had dry skin also in the 1st 8 months after my surgery. Lotion, lotion, lotion! Don’t take a shower or bath every day if you can. Don’t use soap on your whole body either. Just your underarms & private parts. Soap washes away your skins oil & you need that oil right now! -
Fingernails tearing off bad 6.5 months out RNY
toodlerue replied to icebarbie's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
My thumb nails are bad & big toe nails are bad. I had a RNY 11 months ago. I also have a crack at the corner of one of my nails most of the time from my skin being so dry. Wish I had an answer for the both of us!
