Was it from exhaustion/ dehydration/ low blood sugar? Or is this normal if you don't eat every couple of hours?

Hi I was just revised a week ago and i have the same amount of lapro port sites, and hospital stay was the same length. But obviously the specifics of the two surgeries are very different, even more so because your anatomy is already altered. Recovery, for me, has been much smoother so far because i had realistic expectations about pain management and took care of that immediately. I would say it seems be similar to the intial surgery for recovery, But GERD appears to be gone so far. However IDK about weightloss aspect unfortunately Good Luck 💜

💜 Good Luck 💜

Thanks! I was mostly grilled cheeses, tomato soups, reheating pizza and omelettes w/toast so the temptation was gone BUT the one yogurt parfait i prepared was what i missed 😂 Feeling a lot better today now that it has cooled down

Calcium and D work together to increase absorption. It depends on how much D is in the supplements and how much you personally need (deficiencies etc) I believe the standard is 2000 units a day (double check) Check all of your supplements to tally it up then compare to your vitamins instructions from your Team. Good Luck💜

Run a search for stalls on this forum and you'll find two recurrent themes: 1. Almost everyone has experienced this & was very frustrated by it, so youre not alone 2. Almost everyone eventually realizes it's short-term if they stay the course and focus on the big picture Good Luck 💜

Cute!

💜 Good Luck and Congratulations 💜

@sillykitty Those graphs look amazing and eerily like my heart rate when I see a spider 😂 😍😍😍Congrats on all of your success 😍😍😍

Oooooooooh puffins?!?!? Any pics of them? p.s. you look happy

Usually it's just liquids but since your instructions are vague, go with your best judgement Good Luck Tomorrow 💜

There are many variations But Not likely especially if they didnt specifically say you could have yogurt/pudding during your preop liquid diet. What does your info package tell you?

💜💜💜💜 Thanks Everyone 💜💜💜💜 Day 6 post revision: I was going strong with energy, even danced a little in my bedroom yesterday Then the combo of weather and low cals swooped in. I'm exhausted. I don't have a large amount of fat reserve to recruit for energy like prior to VSG so I'm eagerly awaiting full liquids/pureed stage because I have things to do 😆. Otherwise doings ok, taking the meds/vitamins, drinking fluids, cooking foods I can't have for others lol, managing pain & falling asleep mid conversation 😂 Not a terrible first week 💜

Thanks! Welcome back 💜

Peanut butter Smores shake... Also turning some into icecream in the freezer

Ok I'm wiped out but still want to play 😂

Skin does takes time to retract. Working on the muscles and tissues below will help to an extent.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooo this turned out perfect

I used to eat a lot of watermelon. In addition to being delicious it kept my bowel movements loose. It's mostly wster so perhaps its moving through you too quickly. Avoid it if its giving you bathroom issues or use it when you need to fix a bathroom issue Other than that i only used to eat a few types of fruit post op , mostly berries.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

💜 CONGRATULATIONS 💜

Were you eating eggs in Europe? I noticed in some countries they are shelved instead of refrigerated so i avoided them completely so soon after my surgery. If you weren't used to farm fresh this could be an issue. Also as @elcee mentioned it could just be a bug. Totally touch base with your Primary/Surgeon for a diagnosis & treatment.
