August Post Ops

Is anyone else getting really lightheaded and dizzy whenever they standup from a kneeling or crouching position? Doesn't seem to matter if I had a lot of Water or just gotten in a bunch of Protein, happens every time....

Ive been MIA for a while because I had a huge complication. On oct 3rd I went to the dr because I was still having trouble with getting Water and food to stay down. They immediately did an xray with barium and saw problem. I had surgery the next day. They removed scar tissue the size of a fist that was hardened like a rock. It was totally strangling my intestines. My drs had not seen anything like it in 18 years of practice. They removed the scar tissue' date=' rerouted my intestines and basically did the bypass again. Im doing much much better now at 3 weeks post op (2nd). Most if not all my prior issues are gone. Everything's fine except I have this stupid gtube in my belly. Just an extra tool to help me get more.water and Protein in if I need it. I despise it and dont use it though. So that's my story. I'll keep you updated.[/quote']

Glad you're doing well. We are in the same boat. How long did they say you have to leave tube in?

I've also get that all the time even with enough Water and food in me. Ice talked to my dr he said classic sign of dehydration but I drink like 100oz of water at least a day.... Idk what it is!!

Hello everyone! My stats HW 259 SW 247 CW 215 -- I seem to be in a stall like Mz Shay. It is probably my own falt' date=' I struggle getting in the Water and Protein. I have 3 flights of stairs to my office and when I get to the top my bones are just tired, though I am not out of breath. Tomorrow I will try even harder with the water and protein and hopefully I will start to see results. Congrats to all of you on the journey so far.[/quote']

We gonna get through this soon

I was also getting dizzy everytime I got up. The last two to three weeks have been much better though. I think it's because our bodies r adjusting and I'm finally eating more regularly and getting enough Protein in. I found these Protein Drinks at Walmart called, core power, the light ones have 20 g of protein and r 150 calories. They taste great, no chalkie taste. The regular ones have 26 g of protein and r 240 calories. I wasn't too fond of the vanilla but all the others I love. They are about 2.50 a piece but they are filling and help me to get my protein in.

I'm almost down 50 pounds guys!

Ahhhhh! It's so crazy to believe a little over 2 months ago I was over 300lbs and now I'm in the 250s.

Everything is much easier to do lol

Hello everyone. I have been working out with a personal trainer for almost a month. The sessions are 30 minutes of weight training and 30 minutes of cardio. I can't see my body changing but everyone else around me compliments me on my weight loss. I guess it's gonna have to be a drastic change before I can see it. My goal is to increase my Protein and Water intake. Wishing you all the best on your journeys.

I literally ate meat at every meal. The only thing I ate other than that were the kidney Beans and veggies in my chili.
