Day 9 Post Op Update - Dr. Aceves / Mexicali

[NanaNanner 7]

I guess the one thing I wanted to note for today was that I woke up a RAGING "B"! It passed after a couple of hours, but I don't know what got into me. I have heard that with quick weight loss, a lot of hormones are released from fat cells. I don't know. I do know I haven't had my Wellbutrin for about 3 weeks now and I'm probably PMSing a bit. Poor Capt.!

Fluids are going down much easier today. I'm supposed to start full liuquids tomorrow. Not sure how much of a diff that's going to make in my diet really. Sweet shakes are getting old. I ordered some unjury chicken flavor FOREVER ago but it still hasn't come in. I cheated a little today and had about 2 T of refried Beans with a touch of cheese melted over it earlier today. I tolerated it fine, but I think I'll stick to the plan from here on out. 10 more days on fluids then soft foods. I have an appt with my PCP tomorrow. I took all of my surgical paperwork in earlier last week to give him time to review. I can't wait to see what he says about this! After that, I've got a mammogram. JOY!

Overall, I feel I'm doing pretty well. Capt (my husband) said he can see some of the loss in my face already. I bought the cutest white (anticipation) sundress at Marshall's yesterday. It fits, but it will actually look decent on my in about 15 more pounds. I had to have it!

I'm still not having any issues getting my Protein in. I'm getting a little more than 70 grams. More like 76 gms. 3 shakes mixed with Almond Breeze. I also don't make a big deal out of making my shakes, just use my handy dandy Blender Bottle and I'm G2G! Easy!

I started my MVI today. I got Centrum chewables and I have been taking a sublingual B complex since I got home. I think that's helping with the energy. I think I'm going to ask my PCP about starting Actigall to prevent gallstones. I read that tip in Dr. Cirangle's Diet guide. He said that taking this 300mg twice daily for as long as you are losing >8 lbs per month will decrease your likelihood of gallstones from 30 to 2-3%.

I have been a madwoman cleaning and organizing drawers and under the bathroom sinks. It feels good to de-clutter.

Just wondering if you ever started taking actigall and if so, how you did on it. Thanks for any info.
