Haven't a clue

I also have issues with constipation and even before surgery. After getting over almost a 2 week congestion virus I just wasn't feeling up to par so I knew I had to clean myself out! I felt like a huge toxin ball. I take lactlose liquid and it helped but I still felt constipated so I went and bought an enema! Not a good choice if you suffer from hemorrhoids! Sorry tmi but I feel your pain. I can handle ground beef but a steak is very heavy for my pouch! Good luck

Walk walk walk!! I know it can be a pain but that's the best way to get the gas out! Also I felt the cramping was also my body adjusting to the sleeve. Good luck

I drank powerade zero, Crystal light and propel zero and water of course! It sucks but you get use to it!

this breaks my heart. please remember that any decision you make in your life is going to benefit you and be good for you! you are worthy of having a happy and healthy life, shit you deserve it!! leave it in God's hands I've learned to do that over the years and things have always worked out! don't be afraid to take on this challenge that's what he wants you to do is to be afraid show him you're not afraid anymore!! you got this girl we all support you ☺

Thank you so much for your concern @kindle. I feel I am getting enough carbs in my diet. I am worried about the protein though! I still have not heard anything back on my lab work. I made meatloaf last night with corn, greenbeans and au graten potatoes and I was able to finish everything! I was so happy and full, granted it did take me about 15 mins to eat all my food it was a great feeling. I was also asleep at 7pm lol.

Well I saw my dr.today and she did a uribe test and I am not dehydrated! Also did blood work to check my vitimins but no word yet on the results. She thinks I may be getting a bug that is going around but I do not feel like I am getting sick. So that's that on how I feel.

I'm seeing my PCP tomorrow so maybe she can give me some answers. I never left the hospital with a tube, did you have the sleeve?

Well I got a call back from my dietician and she said just drink fluids. She thought it sounded like I was a bit dehydrated! I also mentioned to her that I feel like I am lacking some type of nutrition,a vitamin I told her. she said all I need to take is my multivitamin and if I wanted to take a b12 I could but I don't need it! so I'm just assuming I didn't have any deficiencies before or after surgery?!? Hmmm..

Wow thank you for all that info! I'm so surprised this was never told to me!!

Thank you I will look for them! ????

Thank you I did call my pcp and will see her tomorrow morning. I'm so pissed right now that my surgeon blew me off like that! The nurse that called me mentioned that the "pain" I was having isn't due to the surgery that's why I should go to urgent care! Well duh!! I'm in no pain from the surgery I said! I'm just very neasous with no appetite, weak,tired and very thirsty!! I was thinking of going to the store and buying b12 vitimins but remembered the whole digestion thing

Well I got a call back and very disappointed that all he said was if it got worse to go into urgent care! Really!! Also they do blood work at 6 mths post op!

I haven't had any blood work since after surgery in the hospital. I'm hoping I get a call soon because I can't stand being neauseaous!

Thank you all so much for all your advice. I do feel that a multi vitamin is not enough but I do wonder why I was never put on b12 injections! I remember going into this, a friend had a VSG and also mention she had to have b12 injections. I hu honestly don't think I'm getting enough protein in my diet. Like I mentioned before, I am more thirsty than I am hungry! I've already called my doctors office this morning and patiently waiting for a call back. I also have nausea rx from after the surgery but it doesn't help me for long.

No I didn't have any deficiencies before surgery. I was anemic as a child! I only take multi vitamins. My Dr or dietician never mentioned b12. I feel that I am getting in my liquids, actually I have been very thirsty since the surgery. Do I calk my surgeon or just my reg Dr?

Hey everyone! Its been about a week now that I have been very nauseous everyday almost all day. I have very little energy and at times feel weak. I haven't really had an appetite but do eat for the nutrients.My husband thinks I'm lacking some vitamins. Has this happened to any of you? Please help!!

I'm 4 weeks post op and being addicted to good is so damn hard now! I can have solids now but a few bites is so hard when it tastes so good!! Very important to not drink before your meal during and after follow those steps that they give. I have found myself to have taken a sip of water after I eat and just because I was used to it. when your stomach is full the water brings your food back up so you're not like throwing it up but it's just coming up with a burp. Don't rush yourself I did that a few times and felt like crap I know it sucks to follow the steps but they are there for a reason good luck!!

Congrats Molly!! ????

So today I had my appointment and I let my doctor know of some pain I was having on my right side just underneath my rib cage. It's very delicate when touched if any of you women remember being pregnant, kind of feels like when the baby is up near your ribs how it hurts? Yeah that's how I've been feeling for the past two weeks my doctor says I could have a possible small hernia but It didn't feel like one. Hope it's not because they fixed my hernia durning surgery ???? has anyone had that feeling on the right side around the ribs and underneath the breast bone? very delicate to touch. ????

@@kccat3594 That sounds good, just like lasagna! I just need to find an affordable unflavored Protein because I know I'm not getting enough!

@KayleeC14. That is my favorite food as well and I actually got pintos and cheese w/meat at Taco Bell today. I did go to the store and buy the ingredients to make my own.

@@Bufflehead those are all great ideas! So did you just put it in the blender?

Yes, very normal! Walk and get all that gas out!! ????

Thanks for responding. I have actually done that but so sick of yogurt and shakes! Is tried pintos and cheese with beef today from Taco Bell and it was really good! My dietician never mentioned I can have that during stage 3 so hope that's ok. Do you know what the quest bars or quest products are about?
