Soli3l 30 Posted December 5, 2012 Have you found anything that helps? I'm taking Prevacid daily but thinking about trying pepto bismol or tums... Nope, I take tums for heart burn and it increases the nausea feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashelaine 383 Posted December 5, 2012 I have been soooo cold. It's been really warm here (in the 80's) and I'm still chilly! It's driving my boyfriend crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthatjazz4u 204 Posted December 5, 2012 I have been soooo cold. It's been really warm here (in the 80's) and I'm still chilly! It's driving my boyfriend crazy. Theres another thread about being cold. I thought it was just me, but I'm realizing I'm not alone. Im alllllllways cold and now I have to sleep with layers of clothes. This seems to be a common thing after surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kcaaunt 6 Posted December 6, 2012 Has anyone stalled out in losing? I have completely stalled out and actually gained a pound. Very frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthatjazz4u 204 Posted December 6, 2012 Has anyone stalled out in losing? I have completely stalled out and actually gained a pound. Very frustrating. I've stalled..but I've read this is VERY COMMON. Do a search for '3 week stall' . Remember to keep up with your Water and Protein ...and stay off the scale lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthatjazz4u 204 Posted December 6, 2012 Let me clarify...you don't necessarily stall for 3 weeks lol, but the 3rd week after surgery many ppl report of stalling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozeedonkee 145 Posted December 6, 2012 I had 4 days with no scale movement, but it also coincided with my period, so it could have been that too. But this morning I had dropped 0.5kg. But I've also found I have to force myself to eat the last couple of days. Nothing appeals and I'd rather eat nothing. Very peculiar but I stick to my routine and eat every few hours anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carstanger 346 Posted December 6, 2012 I had mine done November 12th. Full Liquid Protein diet 2 weeks before and 3 weeks after. Monday, I started soft Proteins, but can supplement with full Protein as needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nishia99 29 Posted December 7, 2012 I have noticed that I am very sensitive to the cold! Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if it's my body slowing down everything to conserve energy' date=' my weightloss has slowed down....[/quote'] I have this same problem...I read on another thread that our thermostat is thrown off after surgery and we may experience being cold all the time...some said it went away after a few months others said it didn't...

TaraInDC 55 Posted December 7, 2012 Just checking in....I started soft foods this week and so far so good! I definitely feel when I'm getting full and nothing has made me sick yet. I would say I've been a "slow" loser but my husband out together this collage and I can totally see a huge difference in my face so if anyone else is worried about slow losing, maybe try this for a little encouragement. Hope everyone else is doing good!!! 1 Soli3l reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reikiwoman 11 Posted December 7, 2012 Hi everyone. I too am a Nov. 14th sleever. I had the pain my left shoulder right after surgery, but only for the first day. The doc said it was from the air they pumped in me during surgery. My biggest concern is that I was on liquids only for 2 wks. prior to surgery, and I lost 12 lbs., but it all came back after surgery, and today, I'm only down 13 lbs. - it was 3 wks. this past Wed. I know everyone is different, and it's really hard for me to get the Fluid and Protein all in every day. Maybe this is the reason I haven't lost more? I am walking everyday, and people are starting to notice the inches I've lost, but that scale is definitely not my friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
