Fever, increase heart rate, nausea,vomitting,abdominal pain that radiates to the left shoulder. Hope you are fine

Oh and fiber one bars ,fiber one cookies, fiber one cereal I use them as snacks it helps

You need to find a low calorie drink that you like and drink it up! I use Low calorie Gatorade it comes in allot of flavors so you don't get bored. I would try to take 25 mg of sennosides. You can take 2 pills for max relief. I would separate them though 1 in the morning 1 at night because it can cause cramping. I tried dulcolax and milk of magnesium they didnt work. I also didnt have a feeling or urge to go I just went to go number one and KABAM next thing you know I was going. Sorry for too much info but with this surgery this is almost all I think about :)Good luck with the kidney stones

I love my fitness pal it makes it easier to keep track of my protein , calcium,iron,potassium and calories. When I dont log I go below My goals.

I kept thinking about surgery day and how awesome its gonna be that I'll never be fat again after that(as long as I follow the rules). I also kept telling my self that this is a phase and that I will be able to eat normal foods soon. It is sOOOOOOOOOOOOOO worth It Im 5 months post and went through a difficult time and would go through it again and again knowing I will be were I am today 92 pounds lighter Stay strong time passes quickly you can do this

I AM BATMAN! sorry I couldnt help it

My daughter put her arms around me and said look mama I can make a circle. It was awesome she could put her arm completely around my hips and her hands connected. She is 7 My Second NSV is my husband picked me up! for about 3 minutes! I was laughing so hard I couldn't stop I told him not to try again till I'm 150 I dont want him to hurt his back I'm 199 now lol AWESOME SLEEVE LOVE IT LOVE LIFE

I tried some carbonated flavored lemon water and it didnt feel good. felt like the air was stuck in my throat till I burped. It wasnt fun. I also tried coca cola and it tasted different like pepsi! weird. Pre op I loved coca cola. Id give it a go your self and see what happens. Just take it slow

OK, Ive lost 12 pounds this months and went down lost 7.2 inches. Total weight lost so far 89 pounds and 74.9 inches all over WORK THAT SLEEVE : )

I also had severs gastritis and was put on a corse of omapreazole for 8 weeks after a week I felt better and continued it for another week then stopped. I feel so much better. You can buy omaprazole over the counter. Good luck and I hope you feel better

I finally did it! I"M 199.4 as of this morning SO happy. Turns out I was badly constipated that's why I wasn't loosing anything for week and a half.I took milk of magnesium one day nothing happened, next day 3 stool softeners. 3rd day two 25 mg exlax sennosides. I went to the bathroom like 7 times! My stomach feels much better and I have hit ONEDERLAND. Still cant believe I'm in the hundreds , this is gonna take a while to sink in. Last time I was in the hundreds was probably 15 years ago! Awesome Im so happy I had this surgery. Best decision I ever made Keep going everyday and don't give up! the scale will be defeated! LOL

Thanks for the input

Opps June 21st is the first day of summer CW: 200 pounds so I have 22 days to lose 7 pounds

According to my doc I'm suppose to eat 800 calories a day till I reach goal and 1200 max to maintain once I get there.I have 50 pounds to goal. I don't see a combination of exercise and 800 calories a day working for me. When I exercise I like to do intense exercises like p90x or 1 hour on the treadmill but after surgery I have not exercised partly due to time and fear of fainting because I feel weak or lightheaded. I do move around allot more then before.What do you do? How many calories a day and how much exercise? Are you comfortable or tired? I have three young kids to take care of so I need energy/calories to get through my day I just joined an awesome gym so I'm pumped up but not sure about the calories I was thinking of increasing to 1000 on the days I exercise. any other thoughts would be appreciated Thanks

Myfitnesspal.com is really awesome too , I log all my food in and measurements

In the beginning of my surgery I weighed like a mad women everyday! But it drove me nuts! So I weight in once a week only , measure every 1st of the month and take pics every 2 months in the same out fit That way if the scale dosnt go down then I have the measurements to fall back on:)

WOW , lets get back to trying to help this person feel better Peace

HUH? Maybe your sleeve is a little to tight? I have read that theres a tube they can put in there and blow it up to stretch the sleeve a little , I hope you figure this out Stay strong

Wow your thighs look great congrats

YAY

Wow big difference what ever you are doing keep it up

What best helped me in the beginning was when I read on this website " you will be able to eat what you cook for your family just not yet your body needs to heal first" I had a very hard time and felt down in the beginning when I cooked for my family its a phase and it will pass and you will find your self at the table with them eating what they are but in much smaller quantities. Stay strong and if it gets bad take a big smell of what ever it is you cant have yet. That seemed to really help me get through it. Its only a phase Good luck

46 pounds in 3 months is 15 pounds a month! Almost 4 pounds a week! thats great

I dont know how much you weight or how close to goal you are. I have read allot that the closer you get to it the slower the weight loss. Are you keeping calories at max of 800? are you getting 70 grams of protein in daily? 64 ounces of water? low carb? These all play a great role in how fast you lose the weight.

My hair has been falling out for 2 months now and still is. When I watch my protein and make sure I get it all in I notice a little less hair loss 70 grams protein.
