I hadn't crossed my legs in years and found myself doing it without thinking!
I can wrap my towel around me and tuck it in too!
My shoes too big for my feet and my rings are falling off my fingers.
Tying my shoes without help.
No more rashes, cysts and chafing from the skin being rubbed together or too moist.
Less sweating!
I get cold now all the time when I sweat like a pig before!

There is the Bariatric Advantage capsule. Its just one pill a day. Their chewables at times made me feel sick but I've never gotten sick with the capsules. I've worried about the vitamin patches as it takes months before you will have vitamin deficiencies show up. So I've not wanted to take any chances. So maybe try the once a day capsule first?

You are breaking that food addiction and it's your mind reading that signal as hunger, when in fact you are really thirsty. You need to try and drink upwards of 100 oz.of water a day and retrain yourself to remind yourself that you're not hungry your body is thirsty. Things have changed now and once you up your water intake you will fill a big difference. You want to keep yourself really hydrated as it's really easy to get dehydrated and get constipated. Once you've dealt with bad constipation a few times like I have, you'll keep on top of it too. Just remember your not hungry your body needs water ?

Hi! You had your surgery a month before mine!
I get GenePro unflavored protein powder on Amazon. It's 30 grams of protein and just 50 calories. You can put it in a Gatorade Zero shake it up and have your 30 grams of protein. I'll mix it with milk, almond milk, coconut milk etc first and then pour it in my coffee as a creamer. I do green smoothies with water or milk, scoop of protein, frozen fruit,spinach and kale add a little sugar substitute if needed and blend up in the blender! Lots of easy things you can do with it! Nice thing is it has no flavor and will take on the flavor of whatever you add it too. Good luck getting your protein in!

Sounds like you may need to call your surgeon especially with the low grade fever just in case you're getting an infection.
I think the one normal common thing is feeling tired and ran down at your stage. I did a lot of sleeping the first 6 weeks. Between healing from surgery to the restriction of calories,it doesn't give you a lot of energy. I'm 10 weeks and started to feel a lot more energy about 8 weeks out. If I do a lot one day the next day I'm usually wiped out. My doctor said that's normal till around 6 months out.
I hope you feel better and they can get to the bottom of why you don't feel good

My doctor did at the hospital. He said if I feel up to it, I could try eating mushy foods.
From reading the blogs and talking to people I realize every doctor treats their patients different.
Im actually going back to liquids on my own . Thanks for the advice

I had a distinct drop in energy about 3 months out. Just so damn tired. Almost fell asleep walking on my treadmill!
I don’t have any answers unfortunately. Some say it’s the lack of carbs in our diets. Some say it’s just our body getting used to the reduced calories & increasing activity. It could be your iron levels as you suspect.
My iron levels were very good & I ate rolled oats a couple of times a week, so .... It eventually passed. Mind you I slept really well at night & I’d been a bad sleeper for years.

That's odd given it's been 7 weeks since surgery. Could it be the colder winter weather and so many ours of darkness? Could it be Seasonal Affective Disorder? How's your mood?

I remember feeling that the first few weeks after surgery. You feel a bit of buyers remorse and I know my mind was like I'd give anything if I could eat food.! Lol...I found I had to not have my family eat around me and just would concentrate on myself. Sugar free popsicles really helped me as it was good to crunch and chew on something.
When you can see the scale start to move really helps motivate you. I'm 5 weeks out and it does get a lot easier. I'm starting to eat more normal but it pouch is small so I can only eat about a half a cup. So I concentrate on getting my protein in, I don't eat breads, and very low carb. But I enjoy eating fish, chicken, meatballs, homemade cheeseburger with no bun etc. It gets easier it really does. Hang in there!
