Update, Swelling, and Fun Stuff.



Recommended Posts

12 days out woke up with my hands swelled. Even at my highest weight never had swelling much. Went to the gym today first time in a couple months. Haven't weighed since Dr Wed 251 sw 244 wed which was 9 days post op. I will this evening just to see with this swelling going on. I feel swelled so I'm not sure may just be me feeling off. Started my new Vitamin chews they are tolerable and gave myself my first B12 injection today. So that's how my weeks been. Getting about 48oz of Water, 60+ Protein, about 400-600 cal. Yet feel like I'm constantly eating or drinking.

You are doing AWESOME with your Water and PROTEIN!!! The swelling may be caused by your surgery. After my RNY I felt like I had lost a lot of weight but when I was weighed I hadn't lost a single #. You are 12 days out so you should see the swelling going down. Also I know this might sound funny but I have been told to up my Water when I was swollen. It is supposed to push the swelling out. Again you are doing great. KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!

Not sure as of wed lost 7 lbs in 9 days. Haven't weighed since. I think a lot has to do with size and cal intake before surgery too but not sure

Could you be close too or possibly be PMS ? That's always a great week before for me! Insert a sarcastic eye roll here from me of course. Lol

I had a partial just kept the ovaries. So not sure how that works. The Dr said I would ovulate still. So no clue.

After researching very well could be. Explains the other PMS symptoms too. Craving hot and spicy things I can't have. Sure hope it's all. I will just stick to my plan it will all come off in the end.

Hi everyone,

I had an HYSTRO many years ago. They left one ovary. I had all kinds of change of life stuff going on. Come to find out my right ovary (which they had removed) grew back not once but 2 times. I am such a weird O. LOL All thru my life I had what was found out later ENDOMETRITIS and PCOS. So it was nothing for me not to have my monthly. I got pregnant with my son when I was 17. We tried for almost 6 years for my daughter. Then she was only 9 months old, I got prego again and had a miscarriage. Weird that my ovaries didn't work for my whole life and then to have it grow back not 1 time but 2. Like I told my hubby when I wanted more children badly I couldn't. Then when I didn't want any my body decided to work. LOL

      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.
