HI everyone. I take Shaklee vitamens two times a day. I dont want them on an empty stomach cuz I dont want to throw up, so I take one right after I eat, which probably washes my food down too quickly. Any suggestions? Surgery date 5.11.12. Beg lbs 297. Now 246.

I am 7 weeks post op. i am going to get a blood test for my electrolytes next week. I have cramping in my hands very badly called carpalpedal spasms which my doc says is probably low calcium and potasium and magnesium. What does your doc say is causing your potasium issue?

Good for you! I am at 6.5 weeks and have been the same for 3 weeks. I hope I start losing again. So frustrating. R n y 5.11.12. Hw 297 cw 255.

Thank you. I am not really counting protein but I am just eating my 3 30mil cups of food a day, mostly meat. I will see how I can ad some protein. That is a super loss in a week!! Congrats!!

Good luck! Your inner swelling should go down soon.

Hi. I have not heard of that. Gallbladder is on the left side. Did they take xrays? I hope they are trying to find out what it is.

Hi. I am almost 7 weeks out and My weight has been hovering between 252 and 255 for about 3 weeks. Not losing. Exercising a few times a week. Pre op was 297. Surgery date 5-11-12. I am eating the amounts I should and not snacking and I am drinking my water. Has anyone had a plateu like that? When should i expect it to break?

Yahoo! That is a great loss!

Sweetie stay positive. With the small amount you are eating there is NO WAY you will not drop the weight. Your body is just freaking out but you will come down. Make sure you take something like milk of magnesia if you are constipated and your doc says ok. And i would suggest staying away from the scale for a couple weeks. You will be ok. Just perservere through it. You will loose the weight.

Hi. I hope you are seeing your doc about it. I didnt ever feel ripping. I am 5 weeks out.

Hi all. Im new here. Surgery on 5-11-12 and down from 297 to 257. Yahoo!! But I have a weird thing that has been going on just since surgery. When i put my hands in certain positions, sometimes where my hands are at head level and then sometimes when i am typing and they are at waist level, my hands cramp up. The thumb moves by itself and kinda atrophies. And my whole hand starts to do the same but it hurts so i shake and move my hand and it stops. What the heck is that? Anybody know?
