Trouble getting up in the morning
Before surgery I was a lark owl (idk if that's a thing but I was just as happy to wake up early as I was staying up late.) Now that morning aspect is beyond gone. I struggle to get up and usually feel sick. Today I called in because I was sure I was going to pass out. I've been up for 2 hours and I'm starting to feel a little better. Anyone else go through this? Do I just have to drag my feet through mornings now? I don't see my doctor or get lab results until the 2nd week of Feb. SW: 366 CW: 329 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!

Best type of iron
Hello hello hello everybody I'm finishing up my bottle of BA Advanced and was thinking about trying Celebrate with iron. Stuff is pretty important. I'm still in my child bearing years and would like to start donating blood again. I noticed the iron is different in both brands. Is one type better than the other?

Since when is my butt a size 14?
This morning I realized I need a new belt lol. I'm on the smallest hole now! I never had a butt but now I don't have a rear and I'm losing the front. I try not to move too fast in my jeans because they have nothing to really hold on to SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!

2 weeks pre-surgery....very nervous reading some of the posts
Ya know.... I was so depressed after and regretted everything. I had to get Iv fluids multiple times after. It might be too late and I might need a picc line. But you know what? I'm a student and, for the first time in a long time, I fit in a desk. I rode a bike. It's hard but focus on what you'll be able to do instead of what ifs and what you can't do.

Struggling with aversion
I tried fruit drinks and I have aversion to them too. I did try some soft food early (supposed to still be in puree) and I'm doing ok there SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!

Depression after gastric bypass surgery
Yes! I just got through my depressed stage. I was actually suicidal. I actually blame my pickyness on my survival (I'm picky about schools and I want my daughter to enroll in a certain school.) I'm back on Zoloft (couldn't tolerate Ground or liquid version) which probably helps. Therapy is helping me sort things out. SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!

Any other vegans out there struggling to find good protein sources?
I'm not vegan but I have run into a lot of vegan products. Vega is one. Soy protein isolate is what my nut suggests but some have pea protein. SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!

Struggling with aversion
Long story short, I was so dehydrated at one point that I couldn't handle protein drinks or puree. Now I struggle with aversion and the thought of consuming anything but clear liquids gives me major anxiety. Doctor is giving me 2 weeks (well now a week and a half) to start consuming at least 40 grams of protein or I get a picc line. I've tried clear protein but I get the same hard core anxiety. Anyone else been through this? Help! SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!

Surgery tomorrow morning
Don't forget to advocate for yourself. If you're not comfortable or in pain, speak up! I remember one nurse asked my pain level (Standard 1 through 10) and I was like F***ING 15! I didn't leave them alone till I got some help. SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!

Depression and Gastric Bypass
No obsticals. Everyone is required to do a psych eval before surgery in my health system. So as long as you're honest with yourself and your doctors then you shouldn't have any problems. SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
