My blood pressure is 98 over 70. Is that ok? Or too low? I am tired, dizzy last night but not right at the moment. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm also low bmi do I'm taking advantage of all I can especially in the beginning! I know the first 6 months is the prime time!!! Pre op 239 Week 3 post op 215

Thanks! I'm doing well! I'm still on full liquids until jan 24, then puree. I feel as though I have no side effects from the surgery. I'm lucky! The clear liquid phase was very trying but I'm doing well on the full liquids right now. I start walking on treadmill tonight at a new gym, I was walking outside prior to that. When I cook dinner for my daughter and hubby I almost forget I had the surgery and go grab a French fry and think hey I can't eat that! So it is all mental and breaking bad habits right now.

3 weeks post op and I'm down 24 lbs!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Stanley I can't tell you how I craved food on TV. Food I never even wanted before, but I got through it like most of us do! Stay focused and positive and use the forum to rant rave or even cry to us! We've been there done or doing that, not to mention your helping out someone else who is about to go through this! Your stronger and braver than you know!!!

I use eas too but this just helps break up the monotony. I've only had the cookies and cream and I really like it! Better than eas!

Thanks carol! I was so sick of isopure this new one is amazing!!!!

http://www.pureprotein.net/pages/products.aspx?sku=016891 Any thoughts? Just want to make sure these are ok to consume. Sent from my iPhone using VST

It's with flavored water too. I thought it was my protein drink bc there is plastic on the foil when you pull it back, so I thought I had a bit if plastic in my throat stuck, lol. But no it's liquid drinks in general. Dos 12/26

Every time I drink especially my first Protein Drink in the morning, I always feel like I have something stuck in the back of my throat. Anyone else? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm scared bc I'm in the full liquid phase and not sure If I'm eating too much. I generally have my Protein drink in the AM and then creamy Soups. pudding and Jello as needed. What if I'm consuming too much??? Should I focus on the liquids before protein? What if I did all of this and I stay the same:( I don't see how I'm not loosing, I'm 2 wks out and prior to surgery ate like It was my job!!! Am I being too impatient? Be honest......

I had to meet with the wls 3 times (weigh in each time) nutritionist 2x and the rest of the clearances. The wls appt had to be a month a part.

I am 1 week and a half weeks post op. started breaking out in a rash on my inner thighs, inner biceps, breasts and feet. It's red spots slightly raised, slightly itchy. Left a message with the doctors office. Any clue??? Saturday I started my Biotin, flinestones, tums and Calcium (all of which I have had in the past at some point). Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm nervous I'm never going to get that filling feeling. Should I have it on full liquids? I feel like I could eat what I want and as much:/ Sent from my iPhone using VST

Figured it out, my itchy incisions derive from the adhesive from the steri strips. WHICH I AM ALLERGIC TO! Otherwise, went for my first post op follow up, down 8 lbs in a week! Good start right? Sent from my iPhone using VST
