Ms skinniness

Yep that sounds like me. I was hungry for the first couple of weeks, but then I found out that it was acid in my stomach and started taking my omeprazole. And a few days later, it was gone.

The day after my surgery I tried to drink and cranberry juice and it sucked. All I did was sip water all day and sleep. Didn't worry about foods at all. I took it easy the first week. Then I started adding protein drinks. Take it easy it is majorally important to get your water in by sipping, sipping, and more sipping.

It will get better. Did your doc give you any meds for the nauseousness? If not, maybe he/she will give you something. Hope it goes away really soon. Congrats on having a positive outlook!

you got the number.

Yep, you must gain. I read on here one doc recommended wearing ankle weights while being weighted. then work on gaining weight while your jumping through the hoops for the insurance company. It's truly up to you. It sounds like you are set on this surgery so it's time to eat more. That's it, I can't believe I'm telling you this. It's totally up to you and I wish you luck on what ever decision you make.

I'd be scared too! Stay away from the family! LOL That's going to be very difficult. Maybe if it's ok with you doctor's office, see if you can take some zinc. That may help your immune system.

yayyyyyyyyyyy! I can't wait for you to join us on the BIG LOSER'S BENCH! CONGRATS!

Confused???? What is INT Hospital?

Too be honest, if it's pureed than it's okay, but if it's not, then it is too soon to be eating that much food. At 3 months out I was only able to eat about 5 bites of my food. Now I could eat a whole yogurt because it was soft and was able to condense down. Your stomach is still healing and you need to be extra cautious with what you eat, the consistency etc. This is the time to call your NUT ASAP for professional guidance. If you don't have one, call your surgeon's office and check with them. Good luck and thanks for asking.

It is really sad when we are left by someone we love. Now, let's look at the other side of the coin. You have lost 105 lbs and are looking hotter than you have 105 lbs ago. This woman wasn't a match for you and this leaves you open to fine someone that truly loves you for who you are. This is a new beginning and it is hard, but worth it.

Wow! This is exciting! CONGRATS! I hope to get a Chevy Silverado soon!

Checkin in for day 3. Sorry guys, I don't know what's going on with me. I had this horrible metal taste in my mouth yesterday and it scared me. I did not feel well at all so I thought it was ketosis. So I decided to eat a little carbs with dinner. I felt a lot better and then I started thinking. "could it be the orange mio drops I put in my water?" So I started drinking just plan water and it tasted refreshing. But i still have this metal taste in my mouth today. I think I might just have to make an appointment with my PCP soon. But back on plan for today. Oh I also drank 110 oz of water yesterday. Yayyyyyyyyyy on the water even if it was flavored with mio drops. Good luck everyone.

I had a low BMI and they were hinting on me gaining weight to meet their BMI requirements. I was approved by having diabetes. All the hoops for nothing. I do like the ideal of the ankle weights though. LOL Wish I would have thought of it.

I would really watch for dehydration. You might also try adding a little gatorade low cal for the electrolytes and stuff. I would also give your surgeon's office a call. It wouldn't hurt.

Cut portion sizes down to half, eat protein, cut carbs, and exercise. That will do it.

Way to go! Congrats!

Good work!

Hummm, No one has said anything negative to me, but my BIL told me when I shared with him later that he would of prayed for me. Now he doesn't speak to me at all and his brother is totally angry with him because of his rude behaviors. It's really no loss to me.

I was always hearing my gut for the first 3 months. I still have a rumbling gut periodically.

Each medical professional has their own opinions. My PCP told me he would do follow ups after I told him I was going to Mexico, and then he referred me to Kaiser's bariatric program. If he wasn't supportive, I would have went to a different PCP that was. That's how set I was on getting this surgery. This is the best decision I have ever made.

LOL! I can see you running with your kids! It will happen! Hugs

I had no complications. I was a little weak and tired but that was it. I only took meds in the hospital for pain, but I wasn't really in pain, only getting up and down from the incision sites. I just wanted to sleep.This is the best thing that I have done for me! And now I'm reapin the benefits! Yayyyyyyyy! Congrats, have the surgery and just move forward to your own skinniness!

I'm not going to wish you good luck, bc you already have good luck! Sending healing energy your way! "HUGS"

CONGRATS! Don't even look back! You are going to have better health, more energy, able to do more things than you ever had before when being over weight. And your going to be even more beautiful than you are now. Sending healing energy your way.

Hey, this is day 2 and things are looking great. I woke up with a HA though, but have been for the past week. I was only able to get in 800 oz of water yesturday. But that was an increase in water for me. Yayyyyyyyyyyy! Now time to start drinking water again.
