Post Op March 2014

I just had my surgery on the 10th and I feel so full under my ribs when I drink, is this normal or gas? I hope we March peeps and other veterans can support each other. This app is a Godsend!

    So something kind of amazing happened today. I asked for 4 weeks off work. My doctors office said start with 4, and we could ask for more if I needed it. MetLife is notorious for only approving 4 week

  • *A non-scale victory shout out* I was walking through my house yesterday in front of my family, with my hands full and my pants fell to my ankles!!!!!! I was so happy/excited I couldn't be embarrassed

Hi everyone, I had my sleeve done march 24th 2014. I'm craving fresh fruit is it bad for me to eat? My first week post op I lost 11 pounds and nothing in my second week. I'm worried that's all I'm gonna loose!!!

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.

Went for my 6 week check up today Okay I have lost a total of 54 and a total of 40 since surgery!

wow!!

3 weeks post op today and down 25 pounds.

Congrats! You look great. I should have taken more before pictures like this.

Is anyone else taking meds BC you still have a gallbladder? I started mine Friday and I think its the reason behind me being so sick.

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.

Hi everyone. Hope all is well. Been so so busy.

I am having a hard time this week getting in protein and water. This is my soft foods start week ans I get the foamies so am sticking primarily with my soups. 1 slice of ultra thin deli cheese has gone well. Rook some milk of magnesia abiut 5 hours ago when I realized I hadnt had a bm in about 5 days. Still waiting on it to work. Going to go read the lable again to see when I can take another dose.
