Yes; I am taking vitamins and also B12, Calcium and every other thing the doctor told me to do! Any other idea? THanks

Two weeks into the second phase of food, I am feeling extremely tired mostly in the afternoons and with a upper back pain (into the ribs area) which I never had before surgery. My doctor said the tiredness can be lack of hydration and the back pain can be due to changes into my posture due to the loss of weight. Any idea. I can barely move in the afternoons and the worst thing is that I am a wedding photographer and my jod is mostly in the afternoon and night.

gooood

I walk early in the morning. Is it best to take the protein after or before the exercise? THanks!

I feel dizzy most of the day afyer teo weeks of the surgery. And sometimes very tired. Is it normal? I eat my proteins an the 5 liquid meal the doctor told me to eat and take my vitamins. Help!!

Somo friend who got the bypass recenmended me a french pilla made fron Nestle an L'Oreal the name es something like Innova mass capilar anti hair loss. She saud there were a miracle so i already bought 4 boxes ( 1 per month of treatment). They are expensive but she was so happy that i decided to give it a shot. You can fin them in Amazon but be sure to pick the hair loss ones as thete are many others. Good lucj for us!!!!

Hi, tomorrow i will be one week post op and since being at home i feel a weird sesnsation, like goosebumps in my upper back on the right side near the homoplatus. Is this normal?

Dear MariaL, i am a recently sleeved psycologist. What you are feeling may be perfectly normal. You are used to see yourself as an overweighted woman. This, even when is not the ideal way of being, has been your way for i dont know how long. We humans are animals of habits and we leatn about this habits. Now you are changing and even when changes are for good, they are not a bit easy. So i recommend you, more than taking antidepressant pills, go to avtherapist and work in change of habits . You will be ok but it will mean interanl work. Good luck and be string. You can break habits!!! We all can.

Are you eating other things than shakes? ( diet jello, yogurt, fruit juice, liquid oat? If not try to mix so you dont feel so bored. Good luck

Walk, walk, walk!!!

Hi, I was sleeved past Wed 12th and wanted to know what your doctors said about driving again and walking long distances (2.5 or 5 miles). I am feeling so well, maybe just a little dizzy at times, that I think I could drive and walk maybe in 3 days (a week before surgery). Any recommendations?

Mine was June 12th and was very much like yours. I thought it was going to be much worst. I have been at home since Friday noon and every day I felt better. No nausea, not much gases... Great!!!

How long have you been sleeved? How many cigs do you smoke a day? Had any trouble healing? My doctor did not say not smoking ever again. Of course he said if best for my health if I do not smoke, everybody knows this. But I would like to know in your case, if you had any problemas healing before surgery. Thanks a lot

Doctor told me not to smoke aftwr nor before surgery. I was sleeved on wed june 12 , alreafy at home feeling very well but i am dyong for a cigarrwtte. I have neen usong e cigs no nicotine even in the hospital rhe day after surgery, they fixed me a big hiatal hernia. Still the only thong i miss is a real cigarret. Help!!!

I know medicine jhas debelopef a lot but i am still nervous aboit the anestesia an that universal feelinv of los of contro an not coming back. Just benting. I am happy for my nrw life. Eill let you know

I will be sleeved tomorrow. Woke up today at 4 am with pain in my right leg from yoga's class yesterday night, I think is the tension! I do excited and lind of scared. Casually i learned last night that a neighbor ( my apt building is really small) had a bypass last month and was talking to her for an hour, she telling me about her post op. Of course the sleeve is not so invasive, but it's nice to have a WLS neighbor to whom speak. I will keep you posted. By the way i am beeing sleeved in Caracas, Venezuela.

Hi there, some days ago I started a conversation at the PreOp forum about sleevers with Narcissistic mothers. There are quite a few of us. So I decided to try and open these group so we can share our expericences with our "moms".My name is Maria. I live in Venezuela and I will have my surgery this next Wed, June 12.AS long as I remember my mother was kind of weird, always attacking me and my sister, not physically but verbally. Some years ago, after a lot of years in therapy, reading a lot, I discovered my mother has a NPD.It is the most devastating thing you can have as a kid, as a teenager... as a person.I decided not to telling her I will have the sleeve done because when I was telling to her about the possibilite, she started to discourage me anyway she can. She has told me all of my life that I was obese. (Which I believed until I started looking for pictures from when I was 16 years old and I was not skinny but perfectly normal to thin. When I made diets and loss weight, she used to tell me I was anorexic.. No way to win with her.I am pretty much over her things today as the became a widow last January and her huge anxiety has led her to a cuasi dementia senile state. Not quite because she can always hurt my sister and I with her words. But she is in a very bad mental and physical state.Well friends. Let´s share our experiences regarding this kind of parentes and how this relate with our weight problemas, eating habits and share our things so we can support each other during this huge change in our lives. We sleevers!!!Hugs for all of you, Maria
