Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call

[nenukes33 17]

Update on my story.. I was doing really well up until friday night.. Started feeling very weak.. Started with diarrhea Saturday continued until Sunday which by then I ended up in hospital... I was dehydrated, potassium and magnesium levels low, low BP, a lot of acid, burning sensation and pain... Been in hospital since then... Drs were concerned bc i lost 30lbs in 10 days.. is this normal? Going home today and need advice.. How does everyone keep hydrated. My surgery was in Mexico so I was wondering What Vitamins are suppose to be taken? Feeling a bit discouraged but not giving up.. Any advice? Thank u in advance

I make myself drink one 20 oz bottle by noon. Not allowed lunch until it's gone. And then another in the afternoon. I'm shooting for 3 but right now, I'm good at just 2 20 oz bottles. Plus if I drink a Protein Shake, that's another 16 oz. And I take Gummy one a day vites....2 of them actually. And an Iron pill and 4 D3's and 2 sublingual B12's. And I'm working at getting in my chewable Calcium. I feel better when I take my vitamins.

I find myself getting up in the middle of the night to eat. I don't know what is happening but around 1 or 2 when i get up to go to the bathroom I have strong hunger pangs. So I go in the kitchen and eat some protein( maybe an oz or 2 of turkey) and when it hits my stomach the pang is gone. I have never been a night snacker/eater so i don't know if I am doing wrong. I have not hit a stall so i thought that it might be okay but i know that this is a bad habit and I want to break it any suggestions. I have a NUT app on the 16, I can ask her then. OH i do drink Water first to see if is goes away and it doesn't so i eat because i can't sleep through hunger.

Hey, if you're hungry, you're hungry. And it's not like you went out and had a cookie, you ate some protein...perfect...and then went back to bed. Good for you. I have heard that a Protein snack before bed helps you sleep better.

I wake up too every night with my stomach in pain. Something like a spasm. As soon as I eat it goes away. Water or something to drink doesn't help.

I am on week 3 from surgery 9/24/12. I am doing good I think. During surgery my surgeon noticed something on my gallbladder so he removed my gallbladder too.I guess we really do not need it. Once in hospital room. I had a hard time with weakness. Trying to get walking in was hard. Had to have transfusion. I stayed 2 nights. Kinda hard when your family wants you home. Since then I am just trying to figure out the food/water/vitamins. I have now gone to the gym dizzy or not for 4 days in a row. Feeling better every day!Down 30lbs since the start of this process. I can't wait to feel good enough to try on clothes.

How does your insurance work, why are you still waiting?? My insurance starts paying me @ 100% for up to 7 or 8 weeks then it drops to 70% of your pay - I still get paid same time as everyone else.... Does Kaiser work different
