    5k run3 weeks post op!?

    I would say 3 weeks out...85% chance you won't be up for it. You won't have the energy with what you'll be able to eat at that point. You will only be able to walk at most 30 minutes a day...
  3. Are some by accident. Is this bad?
  4. I ate a peice of chicken with sesame seeds on it not thinking that it might not be OK for me to eat seeds at this point. Is it unsafe???!!!!
  5. Vickie- I'm over a month out and reading your post made me laugh because I remember that same feeling like it was yesterday....yearning for refried beans or a creamy soup lol!!!! This too shall pass and before u know it you will be back to normal foods. Don't worry it will all be worth it!!!! All the best to you!
  6. I am 3 weeks out and totally congested. Any nasal spray or cold remedies anyone can suggest? I can't even sleep through the night! I asked my doc what I should take - she told me Children's Benadryl but its not working. I'm exhausted and can't breath. Im real close to just shooting some Afrin up my nose which I known is frowned upon in general.....Help!!!!
  7. I was doing my daily vigorous walk on the treadmill and all of a sudden I started to feel this shooting pain by my belly button. I don't have a fever, I'm not feeling nauseous ( ate dinner fine) but this pain is not going away. Could I have pulled something? Ripped something? I'm freaking out a bit cause this pain is internal on the left side of my belly button and I have no clue what it could be. I am 3 weeks post op. Help!
  8. * I have lost 10 pounds since having the surgery
  9. I have maintained the same weight for the last 2 weeks. I am 3 weeks post op. I am so frustrated. How can I start to lose weight again?!?!

    First wall?

    Tell me about it! I was sleeved 1/28. I've lost 31 pounds since the day i started my pre op diet. This past week and a half I haven't lost a pound! Def. frustrating. But I've been told it is normal and that our bodies are adjusting to the large amount of weight we have already lost in a short period of time. My question is, when will this first stall end?!?
  11. Weird question, I know. But I heard People talking about how getting your hair dyed too soon after surgery isn't a good idea so I wondered, is it too soon to go for a teeth cleaning? I'm 2 weeks out and I want to get my teeth cleaned but I know sometimes we end up swallowing some of the stuff they put in our mouths. Is there such a thing as it being too soon to go for a dentist appt.? Am I an idiot for asking this? Lol
  12. Great, thanks for the advice all!
  13. 2 weeks out and I've been enjoying decaf coffee. Is it too soon? I hear the acid in it isn't good for the tummy but I've been having no problems. I could drink it everyday but wondering if that's a good idea or not...
  14. 2 weeks out. Haven't lost any weight this past week. Is this normal? I've stayed around the same weight, give or take a pound, all week. Any thoughts?
  15. I should also mention I weigh myself everyday. I cant help it. I try not to obsess over the numbers on the scale. I need advice! Tips! Words of encouragement!
  16. I'm starving here. How am I suppose to wait a full 2 weeks before I can have a scrambled egg or even soup?!?
  17. No, full liquids. But I keep hearing about other people who get to move on to the puréed stage much quicker. I am soooo tired of protein shakes and plain yogurt. I just want something hot that isn't broth lol.
  18. At what point in time is this ok to try and eat?
  19. Pre-sleevers have no fear! I started my pre-op diet on Jan. 14th, was sleeved on Jan. 28th, and now On Feb. 5th I am 30 pounds lighter, and in only 3 weeks! I can't wait for more success to come! You are making the absolute best choice for yourself!!
  20. Does 'plain' yogurt mean it can be flavored? Like yoplait red velvet cake fat free yogurt?
