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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
