6 weeks out and the progress, and issues Im having

[Jenny 0]

Ok,. 6 weeks down. Im technically down 29 lbs. But I did lose 36 (I gained in the hospita 7 lbs due to all the fluids) Overall I think Im doing good, but I am having some issues.

The first week, I was only a little naseaus. I had that pain on the left side, and My shoulder killed. I was trying hard to get my Protein Shakes in. I managed, though I was coming up short.

The second week, all the weird pains went, and I continued getting my shakes in. I never hit the goal, but I was doing ok.

By week 3. I moved on to some mush food, like tuna. I can get that down with ease.

Week 4, Constipation sunk in. Which could have been my fault. I was not taking a stool softner like I was told. I started with Miralax, and about 5 days later, I had a Green Movement. I stopped taking miralaz, since Ive been having movements everyother day. The only issue is, Every movement I have is green. Im starting to get worried about 2 weeks of greem BMs.

Week 5, I noticed I get this sharp pain in my back, near the kidney. I am wondering id this is because Im in Ketosis. It usually goes away in about a min. I have mo pain when I urine. I think Im urining enough. I was also told my breath smells bad.

Week 6 (we had a heat wave where we live) Over the weekend, I was getting a good amount of Water in, but I know I wasnt hitting the goals. I was getting super dizzy when I would stand up.

But all and all, I think Im doing ok. I still didnt lose a size yet, which is frusterating. I am doing better at remembering to get my Vitamins in.

Im not hungry, but I know I have to start trying tougher to eat foods. Ive been eating scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, a slice of wheat toast, a few wheat thins, chicken salad and egg salad (with issues)

I think this wed, Im going to venture and try a hamburger patty.

Hope you are all doing ok

I think your doing great!!! As for the green bm's.. I think that's pretty normal! I read when you take Iron supplements it can turn green. I get dizzy and light headed when I stand up too quick! My dr. said more than likely it because my Bp is low when I'm sitting and then when I stand up it dramatically raises! But I would let your dr. Know what's going on on both parts just incase.

Thank you for this update. I'm in week one. I have left side pain and left shoulder pain. I'm still going to talk to my doctor Wed, but you've eased my mind a bit that it may ease up soon.

I gave up trying to get even half my Protein at this stage. I'm concentrating on fluids. I am still adding unflavored protein to my Soup and drinking Protein Shakes but I'm making Fluid my goal this week.

How did you make out with gas? That's another week one issue I'm having...

Dont worry, the pain does go away. In about 3 weeks I was pain free.

Im just frusterated with hitting a plataue. I know it will go away soon, but I sooo want to be down 50lbs by july!

Maybe try taking some body measurements and track those? It seems that a lot of people have mentioned hitting plateaus but notice changes in how their clothing fits during that time...

Thanks for the assurance re the pains. :-)
