hi! Welcome to the group. I. Would suggest you speak with your Dr. Or nutritionist about the fruit, seems everyone has a different program to follow. And don't worry about the weight, if you follow your instructions you will lose....good luck :)

Has anyone had a problem with restless legs at night since surgery? I had a gastric bypass on 3-31 and have had a problem with it since coming home from the hospital. I constantly move at night to relieve the numbness and tingling sensation.

I had my 6 weeks post op today and my surgeon seemed really happy with my progress this far! I'm officially down 46lbs by their scale! Back to work tomorrow.

About a little after a week out I had it for a good 4 or 5 nights. My doctor had me take a sleep aid but it didn't really work. I'll be 5 weeks out on Thursday and I haven't had it since.

I've had it for 2 weeks and mine doesn't seem to be going away. Im hoping the doctor can give me some type of direction other than a sleep aid on Wednesday because I've tried that and increasing my Iron but neither worked.

My husband and I both started it 1 week post op. We havent been sick, so I dont know.

Only problem I have been having is just back pain like never before.

Have any of you had to give yourself a B12 injection yet? I'm sitting here staring down the needle. I think I'm gonna wait for my hubby to get home from work and make him do it.

My husband gives me mine. It doesn't hurt at all. Just tell him not to flinch or pull back. The first time ny hubby did it he hesitated just as he was putting the needle in and the needle bent and that sucked. Now, I just have him jab it in and push the syringe slowly. There are a ton of you tube videos if you are unsure how to do it. Luckily my bff is a nurse so she showed us both how.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
