Surgery date: 10/23/13

Highest weight: 283

Surgery weight: 277

Current weight: 271 (1week post op)

Pre op meds vs post op meds:

type 2 diabetes pre op-2 insulins 2 pills/

post op-1 pill only 1/2 the pre surgery dose- still on high cholesterol meds but I suspect that will change after my pcp follow up.

I am struggling to not get on the scale until my 2 wk post op, 3 days to go I'll keep you guys posted. Gas/constipation is my biggest complaint. Getting down all of my liquids and Protein is my biggest struggle. Staying positive is my biggest accomplishment....

No gas issues, foamied once, started soft foods today.

I'm not weighing myself anymore...too much pressure, and I get too down on myself. I'm going by how I feel and how my clothes fit.

I track everything on MFP, and I'm at or over my daily Protein requirement, as well as getting my fluids.

You lost 30lbs in 3 weeks?!! Wow!

You lost 30lbs in 3 weeks?!! Wow!

Yeah, there were a couple of days where I gained a pound or two, but then I figured out that I needed to keep up with the Miralax, and then I'd drop what I'd gained the next day. Constipation's no joke! I'm anticipating the dreaded "third week stall", but I'm ramping up my protein and fluid and hopefully, I won't stall at all.

I'm buying Miralax on my way home tonight!!! I need it anyway. I only go once a week since this surgery and that's with MOM when I used to go daily preop. It is NO JOKE!!

Goal... 10 pounds at a time

It's bloody cold here in northern Alberta so walking outside is harder now than before. I'm going to get my son to help me set up the wii so I can get back on the exercise that I'm supposed to be doing. Protein intake is good about 80g and my struggle is getting enough water. Other than that, no complaints and NO REGRETS!

Been on soft proteins 2 weeks- Had a surgery 11/12 Tuesday (5 1/2 weeks out)---- NOT related to. Sleeve.

Had not had a BM in almost a week prior to that. Was soooooo constipated 3-4 days later.

3 days of Miralax finally got me going.

I never want to go through that again. My system is still screwed up.

I have eaten practically nothing for 2 days. ( don't miss food at all)

Starting at ground zero tomorrow.

Clear liquids, then protein shakes... Then some mush...... Making sure I get my fiber from protein stakes.

I noticed I have felt cold since sleeve.

I have asked my case nurse, she said ". Well you just lost a layer of blubber"

But I hear it a lot on here. I think there is a body thermostat thing that needs to adjust to weight loss.
