Im well over 2 months out. Get urself some sos sachets and mix it with water and get them down you, they helped me alot inthe early days. You're most likley low in potassium and dehydrated thats why you're feeling weak. They can be purchased on Amazon. Sent from my VOG-L29 using BariatricPal mobile app

Well, i am 6 weeks post op on Monday coming, I've noticed old habits are creeping back in and i find myself munching on slider foods, I can't seem to get all my fluids in or don't kniw what i can cook for myself that would be easy. Im eating slider foods such as crisps,chocos,cake and custards etc only because it's easier to grab and easy to eat. I really need to get back into it. 2 weeks and I've stayed the same weight :'( Sent from my VOG-L29 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey why don't you get yourself a hot water bottle or even put on some extra layers or fleecy pjs in bed as that's what helps me. Also get some electrolytes in you. Sos is what i use. I add a sachet of sos powder in 500ml water bottle and I'm good. Sent from my VOG-L29 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hands and Feet are like ICE
Meera replied to NovaLuna's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was the one who kept a fan blowing even inthe winter months, but since WLS i have been freezing cold, nothing can warm me up, i wear a full fleece pj set, thick socks and gloves to bed with heated blankets and heated fitted sheet with 3 large hot water bottles. My feet especially hurt the most as they're so cold, it's lack of blood circulation inthe hands and feet that's causing the issue, i do want to go see a doctor soon but covid and all that everything is over the phone so hoping to call soon for a telephone conversation and see what she thinks. It is worrying and makes me panic at times as i just seem so cold all the time and i was NEVER like this. Im 4weeks post op have lost 35 pounds in 4weeks so could be that there's less fat Sent from my VOG-L29 using BariatricPal mobile app -

RNY 12/17 Difficult reaching protein and fluid goals
Meera replied to Shellbrand's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey i am 4weeks post op on Monday, if you can't keep up with protein don't worry as long you drinking enough fluids ideally with electrolytes as I think that's why you feel weak because of dehydration. Get electrolyte powder and add to ur water with water flavouring or squash, drink apple juice and any juices you like, have yogurts and make urself some meat/poultry broths and have about 3oz of that at each sitting ideally aim for 5meals aday and you will be okay.

I can’t eat right and drink enough water.
Meera replied to JoriJori's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi I'm nearly 4weeks out, have you tried mashed potatoes with ketchup or creamcheese? Weigh about 3oz and eat that, even fishcakes but don't eat the batter, have electrolytes power mixed on your drinks as thats what helped me with my energy levels, also have cheese triangles and small pots of yogurts throughout the day and sip on electrolyte drinks.

I was at the bmi 33 before i decided to have this surgery and now i regret it every single day, I'm always hungry but can barely eat or enjoy my meals. It sucks! I just wish i could turn back time and never have had this surgery. It gets easier with time i know as many have said that to me but why do i feel i rushed into it without really thinking.

6 days post-op, sharp stabbing pains. Is this normal?
Meera replied to ArcticFox's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a sleeve, but get those pains, you need to remember that your muscles were ripped through to get to your organs and you need to be resting and not walking too much, let your body heal and only walk 20mins aday Sent from my VOG-L29 using BariatricPal mobile app -
I'm 3 weeks out and had surgery at bmi 33 and I'm at the stage where I'm constantly regretting my decision. I wish i could turn back time and not have had this surgery and just lost weight by myself. I'm no longer social, cnt enjoy meals always hungry but can barely eat. Please think long and hard Sent from my VOG-L29 using BariatricPal mobile app

Meera replied to Meera's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
ThankYou, i have been on purée but find i am able to eat quite abit before i get the full feeling. I will in future measure properly and only eat the amount u should be to avoid causing any damage to myself. Thankyou for that explanation that could be it that the nerves are not fully functional.

Why Does My Nose Run When I Eat?
Meera replied to GradyCat's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Me onthe other hand constantly sneeze whilst eating. I dontknow why but it's so annoying and alittle embarrassing Sent from my VOG-L29 using BariatricPal mobile app -
Every surgeon is different, I'm 3 weeks out and having lentils, legumes, mashed potatoes with cream cheese, mashed carrots with a little butter. Lots of different soups and smoothies. Just try alittle and see how it makes you feel, also make sure there's no lumps just a thin consistency. I didnt bother with protein shakes i can't stand the taste of them eughh Sent from my VOG-L29 using BariatricPal mobile app

3 days post op.. drinking question
Meera replied to Vsg2020girl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey it's week 3 for me and i was exactly the same, there were times when I regretted ever getting this surgery done, but week 3 and i feel so much better, just sip your fluids throughout the day and make sure it's not just water as that will lower ur electrolytes in yoir body so drink apple juice, ribena etc too. Ur 3days out so drink broths, lentils, thinned out soups etc and then from week 2 you can start purée meals. Stop drinking 15mins before meals and then resume sipping 30mins after meals. It gets easier hang in there. Sent from my VOG-L29 using BariatricPal mobile app
