I do have a food plan and sunflower seeds are on week 5. I just wondered if it would hurt me but I'll just wait until next week. I thought it would help with my salt intake.

I am tolerating foods really well, no nausea or problems at all. Now I'm on week 4 and due to low blood pressure my doctor wants me to increase my salt intake (a lot). My husband constantly eats sunflower seeds so I'm wondering if they might hurt me this soon to eat a few...

6 days post op and I've been consuming a lot of sugar free jello, popsicles and adding sugar free stuff to my water. I think that is what is causing terrible diarrhea, so I'm cutting wayyyy back on that stuff. In the meantime, is it safe to take Imodium AD if I only take a few?

I'm only on day 5 of post op and I sure hope I lose 2 to 5 pounds in a week!!!

Is he willing to talk to anyone at your surgery clinic? The risks and complications are higher without the surgery but he needs to hear it from a professional.

IV fluids cause me to have a whole lot of water retention too. Drink your liquids as advised (more if you can) and it will come off.

I'm on day 5 post op. I'm able to drink plenty of fluids, more than I was told I would be able to and not really having any trouble unless I drink too fast. I hope this is ok.

I only told my immediate family. I don't want to deal with or hear anyone's opinions either even if they are well intended. This is my journey, I'm not ashamed, I'm proud of myself! Day 5!

I'm on day 5. It will get better each day. I felt horrible the 2nd and 3rd day, hang in there! I'm drinking my fluids easier and feeling much better.

How many wraps did you try? I have had nothing but success with them. I will post pics of my own neck and arms. 8 wraps is a full treatment.

I am so happy you are being honest with me. I thought there was something wrong with me. Your so called "discouraging things to say" just encouraged me! Thank you and good luck to you!

I just had my sleeve surgery 2 days ago. Do we need protein powder?

My surgery was July 14th! How are you all doing? I'm pretty sore and don't feel like walking. I'm 53 years old and want some energy!

I promise I'm not trying to sell on this page! I'm an It Works distributor. The wraps really work. If you want photos let me know and I'll send you a couple.

I'm having a hard time just getting up and walking around my house. Is it normal to be so sore and cranky 2 days after my surgery?
