    Feeling Hungry

    Ppi is proton pump inhibitor, Prilosec is one helps with acid in the stomach
  2. I am a month out and cheated a little by eating some chips and salsa and 5 mins later I was vomiting in the bathroom. Your stomach can't handle much and even if you think you feel great and what's a little going to do, your not a good as you think. I totally get the urge because you feel like hey I'm having like 500 cals a day what's a little going to do? Right well from my personal experience it normally will come right back out and hurt!
  3. I'm a month out and I have days like that. I get bad acid attacks and take priloc and Zantac almost every day! I also take my zofran every other day. It's worse when I'm dehydrated but struggle every day to get my 48oz in. If I don't drink all day long consistantly I fall behind. My month apt with the dietician is Monday and next Friday with the doctor. I guess I will find out how dehydrated I am then. Luckly I work in a hospital so I may just have someone put an iv in me so I can give my self some fluids
  4. I'm only a month out but I bathe my body in biooil at least twice a day. Also as soon as I'm released I'm going to do lots of weights and start yoga in a month or so. My friend had vsg 3 yrs ago and she said lifting and working on her Abs made a HUGE difference! She is in her mid 50s and did have a small tummy tuck but was told it would have been a lot more if she hasn't worked hard on her abs. I would love to know about the wraps because my stomach and chest is going to be my biggest issue. I'm only 27 but my boobs r already beyond saggy

    Whats On Your Bucket List?

    I want to do the tough mudder Be a 5 k runner Get into PA school Fall in love and have babies! That's all I have ever wanted. I even switched my major from archeology to respiratory because I thought I would be 27 and married, but here I am 3 weeks before my birthday still single ( no bf in over 5 yrs!!) living alone with 2 really annoying cats!
  6. Yesterday was my one month post op date and today was the first day I ventured back to the gym. After 20 mins on the elliptical I got super dizzy. Is it safe to be working out hard when I'm eating so little calories?? I had only had a 100 cal shake before my work out. I really want to get back into good shape but now am scared bc I feel like I can't push my self like I want to. My next dr apt isn't till next Friday. But I just want to maximize my weight loss and start building muscle!
  7. How often does everyone throw up?? I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and threw up today 3 times. I tried to eat like 3 chips with mango salsa ( was sitting in the break room and looked really good!) and then twice when I tried saltine with laughing cow tonight. It normally doesn't hurt when I throw up. Sometimes it's because my stomach feels like its stuck and sometimes my mouth waters and it just happens. I never know what will trigger it. One day fish is ok the next it's not. The only think I'm sure is ok it's soups and shakes. Am I hurting my stomach??? It's never like before my sleeve where my stomach cramps and flips its more like a baby spitting up, just regurgitating, sorry I know gross. But I guess stranger body functions are par for the course now. I just don't want to hurt my body but sometimes I feel bulimic lol.
  8. I am 3 1/2 weeks out and exausted!! I started back at work and I do 12 hour shifts but only 1 at a time and half way through my shift I am exausted!!! Next week I have to do 2 in a row and am scared! I can barley keep my eyes open! I am getting all my fluids and protien in each day. Does anyone else have this problem and when does it get better?
  9. Does anyone else wake up and feel incredibly nauseous? I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and the past few mornings I've woken up and struggle to get my shake in. It's to the point I have to take a zofran

    10 Min "hot Flash"

    For the first 2 weeks post op every time I tried to get ready this happened I profusely sweated. I think part of it was dehydration because not much made my hr go to the 140s also your hormones are going crazy right now so that has a lot to do with it too

    Loose Skin

    I've been using bio oil twice a day. All the reviews say it will take away even silver stretch marks. My friend that has VSG over 2 years ago also stressed to me how important lifting was, she does a lot of lifting and ab work and her skin bounced back a lot!

    Is This Normal? Help!

    All fluids cramped me in the begging, I had to drink warm tea and that was the only thing that didn't make me cramp

    Sleeping On Stomach Or Side

    It took me about a week and a half before I could
  15. Started mushy food 2 days ago and gained 2 lbs!!! I was sleeved on 8/28. I have been doing shakes, tomato soup with protien powder, small amt mashed potatoes with protien power. 2 string cheeses each day. And greek yogurt! I also walk an hour each day. I just don't get it!

    2 Weeks Out!

    I had my surgery on the same day, im jealous! Im only 10 lbs down and seem to be hungary alot! I start mushy food tomorrow and am worried it will slow my weight loss down even further! Congrats on the weight loss
  18. My bs fasting has been over 100 a few times in preop tests but non fasting it's been in the 80s. My endocrinologist said with fasting you can become a little dehydrated which can make it be slightly elevated. I wouldn't worry about 103 it's barely high
  19. Tomorrow I'm going to my best friends house to watch Monday night foot ball. I will be 13 days post op. my doctor won't let me start even mushy foods till day 14, and that may not even be Tuesday since I started shakes late because I had a rough first few days. I know pizza will be there. Pizza is my krytonite. I love it I ate it a few times a week pre op. I'm terrified. I don't want to not go because of a silly food and I miss seeing her. I am so scared I may break down and have a bite of pizza. I'm worried it will make me sick. I don't know I just thought I would post this since I can't talk to my friends or family about this because they would find it crazy! I know deep down this is crazy!!

    Strength

    Thanks guys, I decided to go because I miss my best friend so much. I decided to just bring some jello. She and her husband are the only 2 there that know I have had the surgery and I'm really not in the mood to talk about it with everyone else so I'm just going to tell them my stomach is upset so I don't feel like eating. I really appreciate the support

    Maryland Sleevers Help!

    I see Christina lee at Sinai hospital she is wonderful. They are a center of exilence for bariatric surgery which means they do a lot with out a lot of complications.
  23. I am 11 days out and I was like that, I was freaking out and now I wish I didn't because I'm having the opposite, losing half my fluids that way. Give it time your bowls need time to wake up. I know your probably sick of hearing walk, I know I sure was but walking and riding a stationary bike is finally what got everything moving.
