What I want to know is I go for very short walks- and now calves cramp up. Why? Find it weird. Anyone?

I've been having the same cramping in my calves when I walk. Don't know why though

Thanks NG! My hubby and mom Thought the same thing but I just thought I was just in for dehydration and they pumped me

Full of stuff but still- compared to what we used to eat and drink- makes sense. Thanks :)

Hey, I'm here just lay'n in the hospital bed wishing I was @ home... Thanks for your concern, they say the 1st few weeks are the hardest & I'm really finding that to be true... The Dr will come tomorrow I make sure to get answers for everything - my side shouldn't still be hurting like this - when I make certain movements, such as sit up, get in or out of bed, bend forward to a certain angle & etc it feels like the worse sharp pain like a knife is hitting my ribs, that whole area of that incicons is hurting - more around the incision & instead of it subsiding it has just stayed constant w/ the pain... And how when I can drink w/ out lumps & heaviness down my throat... Keep the prayers come'n - you guys are great...

Trust me - I'm feeling the same way -I mean I feel like I could be home - all those IV attempts only to have some morphine put in but not hooked up to the IV for dehydrating me - I mean I'm somewhat irritated - I mean none of the issues I had are being addressed. I called & left a message for the nurse so she will get it 1st thing in the morning @ my Dr office w/ my concerns... No one has said what the result of the scan was or my blood work - I'm like really I been to this hosptial for other things & have been fine but this is ridiculous... Well about to try to get some rest - let you know tomorrow what happens...

I had my surgery on Monday the 17th. Very large hiatal hernia repaired and sleeve completed. I came home today. Anyone else get really cold especially when your bladder is ready to produce? I did this in the hospital too. Wakes me up shivering. My temp is fine, no fever. Had no problems in hospital, but didn't produce a lot. Now that I am home it is every hour.

Dang, how can you graduate before getting out the hospital?

It just depends on the Doctor and how you did with the surgery. I was released from the hospital on pureed foods. :o

I've been having the same cramping in my calves when I walk. Don't know why though

We are using muscles that have been dormant or are building muscle instead of storing fat now. This in turn produces lactic acid in the muscles and causes cramps. Many and I mean many years ago when I was a runner. In the evening after runs or in the middle of the night this would hit my legs with cramps.

September 24th is right around the corner getting a little anixious right. I am doing OK on the pre-op diet, a few little bumps and slips, but got right back on. I do miss eating real food. I have lost 19 lbs since the start, but I can't figure out how to get my ticker to move.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
