Crystal,what is too much weight?

[Lazy_Lizzy 37]

@@Lazy_Lizzy, you should update your stats to reflect your current weight.

I use my phone to read the messages and I don't think it can be done from here and in on a computer one in a while I will try to update when I'm on

31 pounds in 2 weeks

[Brian T. Poe 18]

Hey all! 4 weeks out, 10/13/2014, down 43lbs. 68lbs total since July.

Yes the weight has come off, however been experiencing post nasal drip, really didn't eat at all for the first 23 days, about 60g of Protein in, and about 40 oz of liquids, had to get IV's the 2nd week due to dehydration.

HOWEVER, past 3 days have been better.. More liquids, eating 2-3 times a day, 65g of Protein, more energy, finally back in the gym, feeling better. Gotta start somewhere

[Peekboo 472]

Crystal, that is astonishing. Do you feel weak? Hopefully it will slow down some now. My doctors two month goal for me is 35 pounds, lol.

[Peekboo 472]

Brian, im glad you are feeling better. I think each day gets better. Im five weeks out and feel almost normal like nothing happened !

Great loss and im glad your energy is coming back. Are you any sublingual B12, if so how much and what frequency?

Getting ready to head into the urgent care. Woke up with extreme abdomen, back and groin pain. Almost positive its a kidney stone. I've had them years ago (drank to much mountain dew back in the day) but its a pain you dont forget.

No I don't feel weak at all actually but Im scared I'll start to. When do we start B12?

My supplement regimen began my second week post op. This includes a weekly sublingual B12 of 1000mcg.

@ So strange! I don't have to take anything other than a daily multi Vitamin. Wonder why this is different for me.

@@rmspencer, in my experience I have seen varying degrees of differences from surgeon to surgeon; from pre op to post op procedures. Also keep in mind that the individuals helping us have blood work and other vital information to help tailor a nutritional plan for us. Early in the process they are likely generating baselines and as we progress our diets and nutritional, supplemental and mineral intake can change.

Counting the days til Nov 14. I am hoping I can get off full liquids and start eating something. Havent had real food since Oct 3. I am down 27 lbs. Dont mind if I have a strict dr this has to work for me to help with health issues.
