Stabbing In My Chest When I Drink. Advice Needed Asap!



Recommended Posts

TrueBlood, I was scared to take my Vitamins because I have to chew them up. What if I don't chew them up good enough? But I'll take one now. Let's see how this turns out.

Just chew them up as good as you can. My surgeon says it is okay to chew Vitamins even from day one as long as you chew them really good. Not having Vitamins may also be contributing why you feel weak.

FYI, I also have to chew my vitamins and I haven't noticed a problem with it.

I took one this afternoon and chewed it up really good. No problems at all!

How is everyone managing to get in their fluids? I thought about making a scheudule, but my alarm would be going off every 2 to 3 minutes!

I just keep liquids near me and just sip all day. I'm not at the point where I distinguish a breakfast/lunch/dinner yet. I always have like, 3 cups around me. I think it annoys my family. ;P Having an alarm would drive you insane if it was going off that much. You'd be dreaming of beeping.

LOL yea you're right and I would not get any sleep!! I'll keep focusing on sipping and worry about quantity later.

This too shall pass my friend. Im 2 weeks out. I know its painfull and frustrating. Please try sugar free popcicles and slowly. This helped me when I couldnt drink. Tiny tiny sips and walk or move alot! Everything is very swollen and lots of gas. Dont panic. This is normal. Hang in there.

Why not get liquid multi-vitamins. I got mine from GNC.

Because I bought a big old bottle of chewables and I don't like wasting money. They actually dissolve pretty well so I'm ok with them. Just a little scared at first.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
