Bruising like a ripe peach
Avery's Mom replied to Avery's Mom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I got a heparin shot before surgery and one post op. that is it. -
I had an initial euphoria right away. I already suffer from anxiety and depression and am on medication for it. I did experience some blues, if you will, a few weeks in before I could begin to eat real food. it does pass. Hang in there. I just joined the facebook group as well!

Glad it went well!

No blood thinners pre or post op so that is not it. I guess it could be the less padding lol -
could be caffeine or sugar withdrawals, blood pressure, dehydration. lots of things. If it continues check in with your doc.

Gastric sleeve and Saxenda
Avery's Mom replied to Recreateme.co's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
yeah no bread, rice or pasta is part of my plan too. my doc says I can try to add them back in but I'm just avoiding them altogether, as pasta is my weakness -
WOW so sorry to hear this. could be some of the meds as well.

lotion lotion lotion. I use a firming lotion, nivea is the one I like best. it has also helped with the loose skin issues some too -
Exactly. the first thing I do is get a to go box lol I divide my food into NOW and LATER right away. We do sometimes split an entrée if we know the portions are really big and neither of us will get much out of it but I look at it this way.....I have lunch/dinner for the next 2-3 meals.

WHY AM I NOT LOSING????
Avery's Mom replied to BlessingsAhead's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This is pretty typical weightloss. perhaps talk to your surgeon and nutritionist about what your expectations are -
Month Follow Up...Ready To Go Back To The Gym
Avery's Mom replied to Trellunit's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Lifting will most likely be your only restriction for a bit. get in the cardio and yoga/pilates/stretching while you wait. I also have been jumping rope to break up my routine -
I have been trying to sprint on the treadmill....it is crazy hard. lol
-
I was an avid runner in my twenties. Now that I'm in my 50s and have a few old war wounds you can definitely call what I do slow jogging LOL
-
Yes. I try to do some sprinting on the treadmill too

Welcome!

Blood Pressure Medicine And CPAP Use After Surgery
Avery's Mom replied to Trellunit's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I guess I need to have one too. nobody around except my special needs 11 yr old son and the dogs to see if I'm still snorfin all night lol -
I am sorry you are feeling blue. a let down after surgery, once you get to the real work is pretty typical. it is a hard road we have chosen. but the benefits will far outweigh the sruggles
-
hmm that seems ood to me. I did my 6 month sup diet with my PCP.
