I got on the scales today and I've regained again. Tomorrow I'm gonna seek out a gym. I'm gonna make some calls today and the friends I think would be interested with me..gonna try to them to go with me. Keep me accountable. Prob gonna do all liquids and yogurt today. I will get my butt back in gear! I am really frustrated! It's pretty scary that I'm not losing but I'm gaining. I need to up my ante a bit. In the office today waiting for admissions to our hospice so I'm damn sure gonna shut my door and start exercising. Gotta make use of all my time. Any recommendations!?

I really think I will. I'm scared enough to seek advice I didn't do this to regain for sure

Honestly this was the one thing with Tricare I felt that ironically I didn't hit some kinda issue with. I got my referral to a off base surgeon and it went through swiftly. I paid $400 program fee and $50 nutritionist. Not to bad. Good luck

That sounds terrible! Hope it was a isolated incident. I haven't had any at all since rny. I take Pepcid 2x a day. Maybe call your dr..I know the generic answer I don't think tums hurts tho. Calcium carbonate

I'm pretty sure I had about every bit of 10oz tonight. I've been feeling more hungry lately and snacking on cheese etc. I may just break down and call my nut on mon and ask her.

Yeah and if it is pitting edema..which totally sounds like it from what you described..I wouldn't let linger too too long. Sorry the nurse in me always comes out! The water pill may help just watch your body's signs for ridding too much causing dehydration. U got this tho! Today was another rainy one here. Of course!! A month straight of rain! Please hurry with Fall!!!

I really think I am able to eat more than I should be. I had a bit of steak, some veggies, 2 small pieces of sushi and a bite of rice. I shouldn't be able to eat this much at less than 4 mo out!! I do miss those days I could barely handle a tbsp or 2!!! This totally scares me! I've gotta be able to reign this in cause I'm scared!

I think u are lucky mine is payback I guess for never having any when I was a teen. I def don't think u are behind u are doing too great!!

Wow Krystal that is amazing! Good job!!!

Well I finally lost the 2lbs I gained. Back to where i started. Idk. Not gonna try to over do the protein like I did before. That seemed to be the catalyst for my gain. So..moving forward

Yeah I know that I've done all I was told about measures to try to prevent/decrease hair loss. Guess it's just gonna happen. I hope it does stop eventually and I know I complain about it but I guess overall I'd shave my head bald if it Meant my losing the weight. The acne now..it's scars I'm afraid of. These little pimples hurt too.

That's the most frustrating part of post op life. Hitting the dreaded stalls. Then come and go and I've resorted to using a measuring tape to assure myself all hope wasn't lost.

I eat my Greek yogurt with whole flax seeds. I usually eat Chobani or Oikos. The flax seed gives it a healthy crunch with out alot of added fat and calories and the most important part...cures constipation!!

Ok...so I can eat steak..I've had maybe 2 times previously and was fine. I cannot eat steak if its anything over medium though. Too dry. May be awhile before I can try to again cause it wasn't a pleasant experience. I did manage to stomach down some peanut butter for like the 1st time since I had it after surg. Maybe that aversion is going away. Bad news is chicken may forever be gone. I started gagging while watching travel channel with the husb and they were cooking chicken. My husb says he misses my southern fried chicken.

It's ok. Tomorrow is another day. I was just posting a few days ago how freaked out I was I could hold more volume of food on my pouch. Hang in there!
