Recommended Posts

Hey i really need help if you can mention a dr it will be great here is my story

I had gastric bypass surgery since 2012 everything was okay till last September 2016 anyway my weight suddenly increased in 3 months up to 30 kilos i was 65-70 and in jan 2017 i became 90-95!! I went to the dr complained he said i messed it up so i said maybe i kept a journal of my eatings, plus i hit the gym and i didnt lose weight but in fact i gained weight per day!!! Like a kilo my feet and hands most of times are itchy and swollen and i get severe Water retention i use tablets daily ti jus keep the water out, im so tired and frustrated my surgeon didnt ask for any medical analysis i thought it was some issue due to ovary cyst as it happened before i went to gynecologist and he. Found one he gave me something called aldactone 100 and eltroxin 50 daily suddenly it all stopped all the fatigue and the weight gain and i started to come down to 88 after 95 and after like week and half to two weeks it all came back the weight gain etc i got some blood testing

TT3 is 82 reference is 70-200

TT4 is 11.2 reference is 4.5 - 12.5

TSH is 1.45 reference is 0.3 - 4.8

Free T3 is 2.0 reference is 2 -4.4

Free T4 is 1.3 reference is 0.7 - 1.8

Cortisol pm is L 2.62 reference is 3- 16.6

ACTH am is 31.50 reference is 0-50

I dont know if the blood tests are normal , even if they are there is something seriously wrong with me and im so frustrated not knowing what the hell is going on to my body and im currently on eltroxin 50-100 i tried to stop it it came back again worse i gained 4 kilos in 5 days my eating habits didnt change at all and doctors seem to dont know whats wrong with me please if you have experienced anything like this or know Someone who could help let me know thx again....

      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.
