vitamin deficiency 7months post op! Someone please help!!
Strwberriekissesrbetter replied to Strwberriekissesrbetter's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
as far as yogurt I use it when I get constipation cause the lactose opens everything up, but it does give me bad cramping in my stomach and I feel funky the next day when I consume almost any dairy! -
vitamin deficiency 7months post op! Someone please help!!
Strwberriekissesrbetter replied to Strwberriekissesrbetter's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thank you everyone! I am on prilosec 20mg my surgeon prescribed it for 2 times a day but I got my pcp to give it to me for 3-5 times a day cause since surgery acid reflux has been a bad problem for me! as for the vitamins I have tried bariatric advantage and after $200 later my stomach wouldn't tolerate any of them ,then I tried centrum liquid and all I did was gag and throw up I was trying to take the pill form centrum multivitamin but after 1 and it felt stuck and I gagged for an hour that was enough for me! on top of these complication I also ended up becoming extremely lactose intolerant which has made it very difficult to get my protein in, I have tried soy but I am not to fond of it and it makes me gag, I am wondering if I have an ulcer cause for the last month or so the only thing my stomach will tolerate with no problems is crackers and dry food similar to that!! -
got weighed in 2day and I am super stoked! I lost 5lbs since thursday making me 349.3lbs and making my Grand total of weightloss 231.6lbs..

Got weighed in yesterday and I lost 3.3lbs in the last 2 weeks, which isnt too bad since 8 days of that I was on complete bed rest! Hopefully next week will be a little better I would like 2 break 350 this up coming week!!
-
Feeling a little nervous it has been 2 weeks since I last got weighed! I was on bed rest for 7 days after an unfortunate fall and then went 2 Reno last week , so needless 2 say I am feeling a little nervous about weighing in 2morro! I feel like I can eat more on some days than others and I know I dont always make the best decisions so I guess the scale will make me own up!!

Nervous about taking an NSAID for the first time since surgery!
Strwberriekissesrbetter posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I was feeling really good this week cause I have 224.6lbs and went from a size 42 jeans to a size 22 in women plus size, also I had my 6 month post op visit and it went well. So I decided to try Rollerskating even though I have severe arthritis in both knees, well I got up on the roller skates and was feeling good and go cocky and fell with all my weight on my Right knee in the Chinese split position! I went to the Dr.'s the next morning and was told not only did I sprain my left wrist I have multiple sprains in my right leg and knee with the possibility of torn ligaments and tendons! I have been Icing for 36hours with no relieve from the swelling in fact my knee is the size of my head. I called my bariatric provider and they said to take liquid children Motrin 400mg for 2 days but to be careful and conscience of the possibility of a bleeding ulcer developing! I took my first dose about an hour ago and it made me feel kind of sick to my stomach. I just want to know other peoples reactions they have had to NSAIDS good or bad. any Info would help! Thank you sooo much..... -
Hey Infernored sorry for getting back 2 u soo late but I lost the weight pre op by sticking with a 1200 calorie high protein diet! after surgery I had a lot of eating complications that lingered for about 4 months. I am still not eating enough by the guidelines but I feel good with what I eat! as for exercise I am trying but it is difficult especially cause I hate 2 sweat!LoL..Good luck 2 you!

Nervous about taking an NSAID for the first time since surgery!
Strwberriekissesrbetter replied to Strwberriekissesrbetter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey David I think you are right my roller skates are definitely gonna get rusty after this fall. as for the NSAIDS I talked 2 the bariatric dept and they said I could try Motrin and I called my PCP and he said 400mg dosage or less, so I started taking children liquid Motrin which helped with the swelling but it seemed to upset my stomach a little right away..But it was worth it 2 get relieve from the swelling! I am hoping to be up and walking in the next couple of days cause I don't wanna be wheeled back in2 group....No more skating for me.LoL... -
went to my 6 month post op appt. and all went pretty good except my dr. was a little upset that I didnt do my labs and that I havent began my vitamins yet! I explained to him that I have only been eating right for a couple of months now and I wanted to give my body time to catch up before doing my labs , so we agreed I would do them at 9 months!! other than that I am feeling pretty good and my grand total weight loss is 224.6lbs...

Going for my 6 month post op group meeting thur. I am kind of nervous cause I blew off the Lab work that they wanted me 2 do cause I dont wanna know right now If anything is to high or to low & I also have not started taking my vitamins yet, I will do them at one year unless a problem arises between now and then. Hopefully it all goes well..

Not going to be a habbit but when can I have some Pizza?
Strwberriekissesrbetter replied to Biiggmike23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had pizza at about 5 months post op and it tasted good but the crust doesn't set well, I try to just eat the toppings and a couple bites of crust! But I have this rule since surgery that if the food make me not feel good than I probably shouldn't be eating it! -
Trouble gettin the fluids in
Strwberriekissesrbetter replied to Sunshine763's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got sleeved on Oct.26th 2010 and for me the first few months were extremely hard! I had issues with getting dehydrated cause I couldn't get the proper amount of fluids in and I resorted to diluted Gatorade and then I bumped up to straight Gatorade to get the electrolytes through my body also I had a hard time with straight water till I tried the Ice water from star bucks and I swear upon it , it goes down great and I enjoy it, still 6 months out I only get about 50 ounces a day in but I am working on it! I wish you luck... -

So Here I am 6months post op and I go for my monthly refill of prilosec and the pharmacey says it is 2 early 2 fill my perscription again, which puts me in a panic cause no prilosec I dont get 2 eat, and the other is I have 2 deal with my surgeon. he has my perscription saying only need the prilosec 2 times a day at breakfast and before bed which isnt true, have told hime several times take it 3-5 times a day depending on the severity of the heartburn and still he fails to switch it! well 2day he calls me and says I shouldnt be taking more than 2 capsules a day and if I have heartburn in between 2 take tums or malox which neither will work for me for 2 reasons 1, being the prilosec isnt strong enough 2times a day but OTC heartburn meds are gonna help and 2. I cant swallow anything gritty my sleeve has a terrible reaction to ( that is one reason I havent began my vitamins) and stuff that is a thick substance to drink gags me too. So here I am stuck. My surgeon says deal with it and my PCP went ahead and filled my prilosec for 300 capsules a month! The question isnt it better to take the needed amount of acid reflux meds 2 prevent damage or listen 2 the surgeon and end up sick , not eating and being told I am anorexic again not because I want 2 be but because I cant eat from the acid reflux? also there is no severe damage prilosec can do 2 you? right?

A little confused!!
Strwberriekissesrbetter replied to Strwberriekissesrbetter's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I Never ha any stomach or esophagus Issues. I never really had heartburn until after surgery. But even with some of the issues I have had and feel like my body is fighting me the whole way I wouldnt trade it for the world . I am more closer to goal of normal weight than I have been in a long time. I weigh as much now as I did in 8th grade and feel GREAT! I wish you the BEST luck ..
