May 24 Surgery Day

i'm in the same boat.

I'm still the same. I'm in the waiting area for an x-ray of the intestines. Since my Bariatric doctor hasn't called me. Smh.. I hope you're doing better than me.

I'm still not eating solids, broth and popsicles when I can, been taking Reglan 3 times a day definitely helps, I still get weak pretty fast but I guess if u haven't had food in 4 weeks that's gonna happen...it seems just in our small group here there r alot of problems, this is harder then what I thought.

Sorry you guys are having such issues. I am able to eat with no issues. I even had some chicken breast this weekend but the texture wasn't right. It was very strange. I am having a hard getting all of my Protein in but I am tired of the drinks. Cottage cheese has been good for me. Hope you all start feeling better!

I can't drink the drinks they make me sick...so haven't been getting any Protein in, but have been drinking as much Water as possible it's far from 64 oz, but trying as much as possible don't wanna end up in hospital again

I was very close to going to the ER today. But i remembered my nausea pills... i took that and i felt better. The loose bowels have stopped. I've been good for the past 8 hours. I did take in a popsicle but it made me more nauseous. I've just been sipping all day. Tiny sips, but i know i get in at least 32 oz. My urine still looks good.

I went to urgent care on Friday and the doctor there gave me a weird diet to follow. Knowing i have just had the bypass she told me to go ahead and eat a whole bunch of things I'm not supposed to eat yet. So, i come to realize they can't really help me. The worst time to get sick is during the weekend. Sigh. I can't wait for my doctor to call me tomorrow..

How are you doing today, better I hope?

Somehow, you have to get your protein...I say that in the most loving way.

Have you tried the Atkins Lift Protein Drink, it taste just like flavored water. I found it at Target, Walmart and Sam's.

Hopefully all these issues will seem like minor hiccups in our weight loss journey once we all get pass them.

No... I mean yes and no... i still have the same problem. But I'm not bed bound anymore. I feel like there is some sort of obstruction inside. Everytime i drink Water it hurts. As if a whole lemon is trying to get through.

Since my doctor didn't answer, I went to any doctor that was available to see me today. He gave me x-rays and didn't see anything. So he called the Bariatric department and spoke to a doctor. There doctor told him to order blood work and a stool sample. He said what I'm feeling is common and needs to be taken care of immediately. He told him that this could be many things.

I wanted to lose weight but 8.5 pounds in 4 days??... that's just too much. I don't even want to eat. I'm at 207 now. I'm happy, but I wish I was okay.

I just wanted to let everyone know that i just ate 1/4 of a banana!!!! I'm so excited... I can go back to eating.

I bet it was so delicious!!! I have been craving a nice salad... lettuce in particular... mmmm

So my Doctor did not like my blood work. She told me to go to the doctors to get fluids tomorrow and Friday. I was going to Disneyland tomorrow. She said... uuummmmmm no you're not!! Absolutely not! You're going to get fluids, then you're going home and you will rest! I said... oh okay. The whether is really bad right now.. 80-95 and she wants me at home.

I hope i feel better after that... I'm happy I am able to eat.

Who ever has had fluids in, can you give me some advice? I heard somewhere that I'll be really cold. It's this true? Doc said it'll last about 3 hours!!! Please let me know. Thanks guys!!

You will feel much better after getting fluids! So tomorrow marks one month since surgery! While it has been a bit crazy with blood clots the recovery from surgery it self really wasn't bad. I am down 24lbs which is a lot but have not seen a change in the scale for a few weeks now. I know it is totally normal but still hard. I keep thinking...did I do this to my body to only lose 24lbs! I know there is a great debate on getting on the scale daily but for me I avoided the scale for so many years I want to keep myself accountable. Anyway, how is everyone else doing at almost one month out?

That's funny you say that... when I had my stall, it only lasted 4 days. I was very frustrated and thought, what if the doctor made me think I was getting surgery but didn't really give it to me??!! My mom thought I was being silly.

As of today, since surgery I've lost an even 34 pounds. But I've lost 8 pounds in the last 4 days because I've been sick. I hope I don't gain a lot when I have the fluids today. In total I'm 0.4 pounds away from losing 50 lbs since I stared January 21. And 4.8 pounds away from ONEderland. I'm very excited.

Oh and by the way, I am a daily weigher ........ GUILTY!!!
