I am in. Pre-Surgery weight - 240 - Oct. 8 Post- Surgery weight - 210 Nov 1 Goal- 175 - Jan 1

I don't have hot flashes, I guess cause I take hormone shot monthly. I defiantly have them cold flashes mine started about 2 am in the morning right after I came home from surgery. My hubby put flannel sheets on bed for me and then had to put the electric blanket on bed for me. I keep a blanket by my recliner also. My family never thought they would hear me say I am cold. I also wear hoodies and long sleeve t-shirts alot.

I had mine the same day. I have lost about 26 pounds. I can eat just about what I want, but only a few bites.

The gas pains will get better. Gas Strips help some. I am 3 weeks post-op I have a little but only when I eat or drink.

I take one gummie fiber everyday, colace everyday and I still have to use miralax every other day. If not my stomach tighens up and hurts like hell. I had trouble before surgery, but now it is alot worse. I do what I have to do cause I dont like the swelling and hurting in the stomach.

I had and still have the same problem. First it was 2 am faithfully then it was 4 am now it is between 4 and 5 am I rest about 45 min during day and I take ambien and I still have this problem.

I am almost 3 weeks post op. I wasn't put on liquids except for two days after surgery. I went to soft foods and some chopped/ground meats. I can only eat about 3 or 4 bites food at time. I can't eat meat and vegetables at same time. I cant stomach protein drinks yet. They are the only thing that makes me sick at stomach. I take all my vitamins. Dr says eating will get better. I am worried cause I get no fiber from vegetables. It is either protein aka meat or vegetables. I don't snack either. So how do I handle this ?

Thanks everyone for your help

How much and how often do you take MOM

Thanks

My dr gave me sleeping pill and acid pill back. I am 2 weeks post -op, but they are small pills. He told me chewable or melts was best

I go to burping

Sweets was my weakness before surgery. Now I cant stand sugar, not even diabetic sugar

What is PPI

I had trouble before surgery. I was on sleeping med I got to where I weaned myself off of pill before surgery and had started sleeping. Since surgery I was only sleeping about 4 hours a night. Yesterday he gave me my sleeping pill back I am 2 weeks Post-OP and I slept most of night

I am in cenla. I would like to meet a lady that would like to walk, and maybe work out . Can be Alexandria, Leesville or Oakdale.

My Dr told me in first 2 weeks I should lose about 20 pounds and that in first 6 months about 80 pounds and within a year a 100-110 pounds. I only needed to lose about 115-120 pounds all together

Anyone close to the Alexandria, Leesville area

Gas X strips help some they melt on your tongue

I am from Louisiana. I had surgery 10-8-2012 Anyone in Central Louisiana either close to Alexandria or Leesville, I would like a exercise partner

My fluid intake is really good. It took about 3 days to get it back up there. and I am tolerating soft foods the Nut. told me to start soft foods about day 3.

Thanks I would appreciate the recipes. I have tried the shot stuff also. Protein, tea, childrens liquid meds. and red jello make me sick at stomach. They tried red jello at hospital couldnt go it either.

Thanks, I am having some vision changes that scare me. Other than I seem ok.

I had surgery Monday, I came home Tuesday Night. Pain Med Free. I only ask for pain med once. I was very surprised not much pain. MY mouth is awfully chapped. Woke up after surgery that way. My vision is changing I cant see with my reading glasses now I could see fine before surgery. No major stomach issues. BM has been 3 times and very loose. I am on soft foods for 4 weeks. Building up the protein seems so hard Of course I cant eat but about 4 bites every few hours. My sugar has dropped by 100 points
