Would you be willing to share your spreadsheet so that I can see what you are doing to be so successful. That is fantastic! I have only lost 35 in 8 weeks. -
I received a measurement chart in the back of my WLS binder to put measurements on. I also received a measurer (if that is a word - LOL!) when I registered at the hospital. I measured pre-op, 2 weeks post op and now every month. I can mail you a copy if you don't have it.

I have Dr. Halmi. Absolutely love him! Had surgery 7/8. My weight loss has been really sssslllloooowwwww! I have only lost 23. I was losing a pound a day and now it is a pound ever 4-5 days. Not sure what is going on. I live in Spotsylvania, so I go to the Stafford office. I also attend the support group at a local hospital in Spotsylvania instead of driving over an hour to the Fairfax meeting. -
Did anyone else experience a plateau in weight loss on week 3? If so, what did you do to start losing weight again? I walked 45 minutes today instead of 30. I am hoping that the extra exercise will help.

ferguson23024 replied to ferguson23024's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay. I have been journaling and yesterday I had about 400 calories. However with exercise it made my total count for the day 200. I am going to try to up my calories today. -

I had been on insulin and pills for 20 years. Yes, 20 years! My doctor told me I no longer need them anymore! Bought tears to my eyes! -
Acid reflux meds
ferguson23024 replied to ferguson23024's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you! I was prescribed Nexium too but I have problems with opening the capsule. I always spill some of the med, so I am not getting the full dose. Curious if I should be on something different to get full effect. -
Does anyone use Ranitidine? My doc gave me Nexium but I have a left over med. also, if you use Nexium do you swallow it whole or sprinkle it on food? If so, how post op are you?

OMG! Sending prayers! I wad just thinking about you today because I know everything you went through when you were in the hospital the first time. Please keep me updated! I am so sorry that your surgery had not been smooth sailing. I can assure you Dr. Halmi will fix you. He is the best! I pray that God will show you favor and heal you quickly!

I feel like I am dying! =/

If it gets too bad call Dr. Halmi. They have a on call physician. I had the diarrhea too. They said you can you Imodium if too bad and I think Kaopectate. I pray you get better soon! -

Weight lose after 2 weeks post op
ferguson23024 replied to mrs.papa923's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I too had surgery July 8. I have lost 12 pounds since surgery. I think you are right were you are supposed to be. Are you getting in 64 oz. of liquids each day? I definitely am not. I try the hardest I can but it just is not happening. I am also struggling with getting in my protein. This is way harder than I thought it would be, but I am still happy to be on the journey. -
RNY - how are you feeling?
ferguson23024 replied to Angel❤️'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery on 7/8. I try to use my pain med one twice a day. Today is not a good day - severely nauseated. I called doctor and they called in a new anti nausea med. because it am so nauseous I haven't been drinking my water or getting my protein in. Worried about dehydration ;0(. -

I live in Spotsylvania, va. I am six days post op. My doctor is dr. Halmi with Bluepoint. Hope all is going good with you! -
I know everyone is different; however, about how long do you start losing weight after surgery? I gained weight post op and I can only assume it is the gas and fluids they pumped into me. Any idea? Thanks!

Post op weight loss question
ferguson23024 replied to ferguson23024's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for reassuring me this is normal! Angel yesterday I was able to drink 44 oz of fluids, and got 54 grams of protein. I am trying to do a little more each day. I am glad to be on the losing side and win this battle. I just want to be successful! Thank you for your encouragement and support! -
An excellent way to measure 2 oz. is to purchase plastic shot glasses from Walmart. They have been my life line. I just pour two oz. in and once I am finished those two oz. I take in two more. The added benefit - they are cheap. Less than two dollars for 8. They are also easy to transport if you have to eat out, put one in a ziplock in your purse or bag.
