Today is a new day of bloated gassy feeling and it stinks ugh when will this go away :-(... I still get dizzy walking to much idk if anyone else does but I'm not dehydrated at all any thoughts?

I get dizzy and tired. I think it's just the lack of calories etc from being on liquids.

I was really dizzy at the beginning of the week. I know you just got out of surgery but its from lack of Protein. I thought I was doing great getting 40grams in a week after surgery but the doctor yesterday told me to try and up it because that's what was making me so dizzy.

My surgery date is also June 11. Left the hospital yesterday on full liquids but nothing seems very appetizing. Drank part of a Protein shake , felt really heavy. I will try again today. Water is settling well. Crystal Light is too sweet to have more than a few sips of. I am looking forward to a shower today. I had to hold off due to the central line they had to run because they couldn't get a good IV

surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5

Surgery was 6/5. Down about 10lbs. Liquids for 2 more weeks. Still have lots of pain in top right incision. Otherwise I'm doing ok. Just have to remind myself to drink my drinks slower!

Surgery 6/3. Yesterday I felt great. Today I'm dizzy, bloated, and gassy again. Going to rest. I'll try to up my Water and Protein but its so hard--I have no desire to consume anything. Overall I'm doing well though, the worst is behind me. I'm going back to work on Tuesday.

Had surgery on June 12th . feeling great all systems functioning normally.

had some bloating and gas on friday but that passed in the morning ( no pun intended) . i have been walking my ass off since 6 hours after surgery an i have to say it has helped move things along.

still have some minimal pain. but that seems to be lessing by the hour.

Dr. Ing my surgeon has the touch. i have had dental work that has hurt more.

I will follow the program and see him in two weeks. i feel like i could run a mile right now.

hope each of the june people recover quickly. its a big world just waiting for us !

Surgery was June 12. I'm on pureed already. The gave it to me in the hospital and said that if I kept it down I could go home. So far today I have had 8oz Protein Shake mixed with unflavored Unjury, 2 oz greek yogurt mixed with Unjury ,one sugar free Popsicle and about 15 oz of Water. So far so good.

Pain level is only about a 3. Haven't had to take pain meds since I got home. Getting around would be easier if I had some kind of support girdle. I have to hold my stomach when I walk so it doesn't hurt. I still have some gas, but not bad. Glad to hear you are getting some fluids in also. Are you getting around ok?

[Weight Warrior 445]

J-la,

no real mobility problems. a little slow getting in and out of a chair but if i do it slowly its ok. ok on all other fronts. walking has been a huge help on getting relief to th soreness issue. Dr & staff believe i have a very high pain threshold.

in fact just lying on my stomach on the couch sending this to you ...all is ok

no leakage at the incisions. also using that spiormeter plastic guage doo hickey tjay gave me is helpong with the tenderness issue and improving ability to take very deep breaths, coughing ( when necessary)
