HELP! Has this happened to anyone else?



Recommended Posts

I have not had a fill since the first of the year. I keep losing weight but for the last couple of days I cannot keep nothing down not even Water. I am trying to figure something out, I do not see how I can be to tight if I keep losing weight. I hope someone has an answer to my question. The doctors office is closed today and I am not sure what I should do.

Well, if you can't swallow Water, you're probably getting dehydrated? No Water, no weight? That could be why you're losing weight. You won't lose 1 lb of fat a day but you can lose 1+ lbs of Fluid.

Dehydration is very dangerous and you may need to go to the ER? Most bariatrics docs have emergency lines you can call them? Don't discount calling his answering service just because the office is closed. You may not need to go in but call him today!

Let us know how you are doing after you see the doctor and what his prognosis is. Did you need any Fluid removed from your band?

Went to the doctor he said something was stuck so he took some Fluid out. But I can drink and eat now.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
