    Surgery was in October, now I stay sick...?

    Thank you so much! I hope all is well with your surgery and with your friend!
  2. I had surgery in October of last year, and I've done great! I've lost 80lbs, I had no complications. And I don't think my complications are with my surgery now.... But for about 2 months I've had a fever persistently, that my doctor diagnosed as "fever of unknown origin" I stay weak, and tired. My muscles ache, my head always hurts, I stay nauseated especially in the mornings, (and no I'm absolutely not pregnant). I'm extremely anemic and I have to go get an iron infusion this week so maybe that will help with the weakness, and some of the other symptoms. But I was just wondering, has anyone else found other health problems as they start losing weight? My surgeons office said it wasn't related to my surgery but I think I may ask my surgeon next appointment.

    They are running tests, a lot of the same tests you mentioned your friend having. It is extremely frustrating! I just want them to find out what's wrong!!!!

    6-7 Weeks Out

    I know everyone has a different diet and different restrictions, but I need an idea of how everyone is doing about 6 weeks out. What does your menu look like? How are you exercising? liquid and Protein intake? progress? I've lost a lot of weight in the beginning but it's slowing wayyyy down. I'm realizing that I haven't been following all of the rules and eating so well. So, I need some ideas!!!

    What can I do?

    I am a week and a half post-op and I want to start exercising. The only instructions I have from my surgeon is no heavy lifting for 6 weeks. He told me to do things as I felt like it. So what are some good work outs in the beginning?

    What I wish I had known

    I should've practiced smaller sips of water. I was so used to chugging a bottle here and there and well, that's impossible after surgery. Also I should've stopped drinking and eating at the same time months before surgery.
  9. On post-op day 3 I could start eating foods like refried beans, cottage cheese, eggs, soups, mashed potatoes, etc. I'm only on post op day 4 and I ate about 320 calories today between protein drink, vitamin chews, and all of the food I ate. I know this would sound stupid to a normal person but is this too many calories following the surgery? I don't want to eat too much!!! I guess I'm just scared of doing anything that would sabotage this. Everything I've eaten I've logged and it's all been healthy, and it's been a sugar free fat free diet... But... Calories? Help! Thanks!

    So how many calories do sleeved people consume in the maintenance stage?

    He never said anything about calories... Just to limit carbs, fats, and sugars.

    Two days post op

    I just got out of the hospital (sleeved 10/10) and when I was in I felt like I couldn't breathe at all. In fact, I still have some problems taking a deep breath. I think it's just the pain or maybe even the gas? Not sure.

    Surgery tomorrow!

    Be been hoping this day would come, and now it's here!!! I'm so excited I don't know that I'll sleep. I have to be up at 3am to get ready to go to the hospital so this really is happening!!! I lost 20lbs on my 7 day pre-op diet! I can't wait to see how I do after! Any one else having surgery tomorrow?

    Surgery tomorrow!

    . How are you doing with pain and nausea?? My pain on the pain scale has been above 8 since surgery and I'm constantly nauseated. But I'm getting better... I think. Gas pains are still intense but I've done great walking.

    Pre op Appointment

    My pre-op appointment took all day. They drew blood, chest x-rays, EKGs, we had another class on vitamins, hospital stay, post-op, and then we saw our surgeon.

    Eating like I am going to the chair

    I just had my "last supper" today was my pre-op appointment (which took 9 hours!) and tomorrow starts my pre-op diet. I realized that there really are some things that I won't ever eat again, so I took advantage of that and ate my favorite meal, spaghetti. Lol

    Open sleevers?

    Oh yes!!! I guess we just have to stop doubting. We've gotten this far, that's something right? Lol. When is your surgery?

    Open sleevers?

    I've been open about it so far because of my excitement, so there is no going back now. My only fear now is that something will cause me not to have the surgery, even though I already have my date and everything set up. I just don't want to have to deal with everyone seeing me heartbroken. So I wish I would've waited until after surgery to tell everyone, but it's too late. I guess I'm just being negative. Lol. Just don't wanna be disappointed. But come October 10th when surgery is over, I will be glad that I was open about it....
