Update, Swelling, and Fun Stuff.

[Mindy78 372]

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

Gained 2lbs, got at least 60 of Protein, not getting enough Water now. Calories very low, sodium and carbs under my but recommendation. Swelled more my ring fit last Sunday even a little loose now won't go over my knuckle. Fiancé wants to get it resized, but they should go back down. Hopeful

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
