Hi everyone who is having surgery in October 2014. We can start a new topic for those of us who have had surgery already.

This is the spot were we will all end up, were we'll share our stories and recovery. It will be a new dawn for so many of us. Let's stay close as united we will conquer anything that comes our way!

BEST WISHES GLADIATORS

I need some advice.....I have been nauseous all day with diarrhea, my stomach feels like it is on fire. I can't eat and am terribly thirsty. Any advice?

That's my biggest thing looking at pictures....how did I convince myself I was happy and confident that size?! I'm so thankful I don't feel the need to sleep all day anymore. It's nice to be working toward a goal and seeing success even if it is a one pound at a time success.

@@finallyaloser does your surgeon have a emergency call number. If so call ASAP. If not go to the ER you may be dehydrated and need emergency fluids. Are you able to get liquids down? Which procedure did you have & how long ago?

@ finallyaloser

Time to call the doctor ASAP this is not normal. They are on call 24 hours or someone in their staff is.

Next time I am at the grocery store I'll size up 48 lbs of ham or Turkey (several of them) and get a visual of my weight loss. I can't wait. Who knew grocery shopping could be so fun.

By the way, today for the first time in forever I felt my hip bones. The ones that stick forward. I had forgotten I had them. Hello, I have hip bones, lol!

WLS people have the audacity to hope for a better future. And guess what? It's coming true. I can run now, for only a short bit but I had forgotten what it felt like to run. I was on the treadmill and did a little run. Still very short and careful but it was awesome.

Omg hip bones!!! I love it lol...I feel mine most when I'm laying down, so I'll lay there and just feel them, and my ribs lol. It felt good today when my bf hugged me and he was like I love that I can put my arms all the way around u and grab my forearm too. I am def hitting the gym hardcore this week!

@@walkin'onsunshine you look awesome!!!

Great job Beni!!

@@AuriP we share the same date. Congrats and good look

Well, I still didn't get caught up today but at least read posts. ...

I have hip bones too, isn't it fun! My honey grabbed my tush yesterday and in a shocked voice said "my gosh! You're disappearing before my eyes!"

Yeah....so are my boobs! We went bra shopping this weekend. My poor, poor boobies!

I have put in a call to my surgeons office several hours ago, but of course no one has called me back. I had RNY on October 15th. I am able to hold down a little water, but so far that is all. I still can't eat anything g and now it feels like my acid reflux is acting up, which hasn't happened since surgery. I am miserable, guess a trip to the ER is coming soon.

I'm going to whine for a minute. I feel like I'm losing so slow, I've only lost a Pound this week, sigh. I get my vitamins and my required protein in, I've started exercise. I feel defeated, like I won't even get to my goal weight even in a year.

dont worry I feel u on that I don't know what's wrong with me I'm not losing either I don't even think a pound a week some people have lost 28lbs at 4weeks and I'm at 6 weeks and I've lost 7lbs what the hell I'm I not doing right smh

On a lighter note, I took my 2 month picture today. This is a month ago and today. I finally see a little change!

@beni: I compare my weight loss to ten pound sacks of potatoes. In my case, almost TEN sacks of potatoes!

@@finallyaloser I would go to the ER your symptoms are a sign of something wrong. At 8 weeks out it could be a few things. The ER cases should be few which means you get Triaged quickly by a RN & see the Doc soon. Better to have them diagnose it as nothing wrong then to have a bigger problem later. They'll likely take an X-ray and give you an IV among other things to resolve it. Don't wait till the Rush Hour in the morning when everyone comes in. Hope you feel better soon let us know how your doing.
