    I would like a number to,cannot get primary or nutritionist to give me a straight answer. If ya say low carb diet,explain low carb,right?
  3. Mine awesome. I went monthly and they kept track of diet,etc with baritastic app. Got scolded if I did not journal enough. They sent kudos when I lost weight,still do. 2 months after surgery. I have Dr Hanna,Las Vegas. A real gem,makes me laugh.

    Benefiber to get daily fiber up and lots of water. Getting fiber in on this diet is a struggle. No taste,put it in my water
  5. My gas pains severe for 8 days,then slowly improved. Husband tapping on back helped.
  6. Great job!
  7. Glad it’s moving,so frustrating. Body just needs a plateau for a bit I guess. Did you check to see if you lost inches instead?
  8. Weight your food if you can. I find I sometimes forget I had surgery and just start shoveling it in. Definitely not worth the pain that’s coming if you over eat or eat to fast.
  9. Oh stay on diet . Not work the pain. I know it’s hard I could kill for a baking powder biscuit! Hang in there you got this!
  10. Stalled here also at 6 weeks. They say it’s normal. Body adjusting I guess. Bet your losing inches instead! Hang in there
  11. Oh no,so sorry. You poor thing. I am sure they will get ya up and running,just a downer with all these complications. Remember in the end you are on the loser bench with the rest of us. We are rooting for you!
  12. Wow high blood sugar because of low potassium. Great info. Guacamole ? It has potassium and my sugar has gone down. I am 6 weeks out from surgery now and try to eat avocado daily. Thank you for the info. Hope you feel better soon!
  13. Sorry you had such a bad experience. Sugar should fall once you lose weight,at least mine did. It did go up on me but the liquid Tylenol I had was not sugar free. Vitamins had fructose and as crazy as that is I think it affected my sugar. Stopped the chewable ones and sugar is down. Maybe just a coincidence. Just keep tabs and take care of yourself. Sounds like you need some pampering.
  14. One day at a time. Back to protein drinks 2x a day maybe and 1 meal. Try eliminating your sugar and bad carbs. Be patient with yourself!
  15. I am 67 and had no problems. Gas pain from surgery,and low energy for a couple weeks is all. Just follow Dr instructions for pre op and post op.
  16. How about B12 patches,or they have B12 spray for your mouth. they have water that says liquid IV. Got on this site. Helped me .anti nausea pills do not work?
  17. As you lose weight,you probably will be able to get off meds. My sugar also ran high. I did take liquid Tylenol and that had sugar. Also my chewable vitamin had fructose and that seemed to raise my blood sugar. Give it a bit,bet it will come down.
  18. I was not hungry. Did not feel well tho.
  19. Kidney? Are you hydrated?
