Recommended Posts

Hi I am 57 and had the sleeve December 5. I have lost 30 lbs and been stalled and frustrated. Also had a severe case of vertigo last Thursday which might be caused by dehydration. Ever heard of this?

Yes. I got dizzy in the first few months post op. I was careful to get enough fluids so it wasn't that. I think its pretty common post op. Do be careful to get the fluids in. If you are taking blood pressure meds, they should be evaluated again.

Yes be sure you get your fluids in and stick with the program. Its easy to get frustrated so don't get side tracked on your diet, for you its only been December , you are probably losing girth , the weight will come off. I heard that if you shake your head and tilt it to the side it breaks up the salt build up in cochlea which may cause vertigo , I'm not sure on this but i read it somewhere. So I would bring this up to your Doctor. Relax weight will come off

Is 50 the new 150?

I'm not sure.. I thought it was for people in there 50's even if I feel like I'm in my twenties after losing 224lbs

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
