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.

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
