Did anyone else have to have several bags of potassium??

I had several bags of potassium/sodium. Gained 7 lbs in the hospital. But I've lost the Water weight.

Is anyone else getting multiple notifications for each posting in their email? It's making me crazy!!

I moved one to my junk mail so the rest will go there as well. Now I don't see them in my inbox.

@@Purplej I've been experiencing some backaches but I was told that was normal after surgery... Did anyone suffer with a fever post-op yesterday I had a high fever of 103.3 and since it broke I've been getting fevers off and on running about 99.5 I'm afraid this will keep me from being discharged and that I may have an infection somewhere.... I also have a drain tube that seem to be draining normally nothing to show infection

Thanks for the information. My doctor didn't mention the backaches so I wasn't sure what was going on with that. I didn't have any fever in the hospital and I didn't have a drain tube either. Hopefully you'll get over this and start the healing process. Good luck.

Had surgery on Wednesday... went home Thursday around 6pm... passed the swallow test and got all my liquids in. Passed some gas last night and this morning and it was the best feeling. My tummy makes a lot of noise, lol. I can hear Fluid take its course... no BM, yet! Might be taking some milk of magnesium tonight before bed. No hungry, no cravings.

Hi everyone! So, I went in for RNY but came out with a VSG. The surgeon determined he couldn't safer perform the bypass based the density (read fat) in my abdomen. I'm two weeks out, and I'm finally getting better at wrapping my head around all that. Struggling hard to take in my Protein and fluids. I just don't get hungry. I know so many changes and adjustments are in store for me...just have to find my patience. Inoperable everyone else is doing well and having fruitful journeys!!

Hi, how is everyone holding up with the recovery and their weight loss journey?

So I just wanted to update y'all a bit !

I'm doing ok and no longer in pain . I got back to work this week . Im still very amazed on how I don't feel hunger anymore although I'm still dealing with cravings. The major thing I miss , this might sound weird for some , but I miss Water !! Yes ! Water ! I get thirsty a lot and the sip sip sip method is not quenching my thirst at all ! I actually ended up hurting my stomach the first few days trying to take big gulps in . So that's that !! Emotionally, I'm on a roller coaster so I don't know where to start so I'll just say that this too shall pass and hope for the better . Another thing , people are noticing my loss so I guess it's working but I don't feel like that when I step on the scale coz it's not as much as expected (and yes I hit a stall and it's harder to accept that this early and even worse when I'm obsessed with my scale, weighing myself 3-4 times a day just to see the damn same number ) But overall I m happy with the decision I made and excited to this new journey!! Hope everyone is doing better !

AHHH! I just found out today that my surgery date is March 16th. 3 weeks from tomorrow.

It all seems so fast. I just started this process with an all day appointment at mayo Clinic in November, and the time has FLOWN by.

I had my last visit with the psychologist on Friday and she signed off/discharged me then. I got the call from the surgical scheduler today and, I'm not even going to lie, started freaking out a little (okay, a lot).

Anyone else with March dates? My birthday is March 10th, so I can't think of a better way to usher in 33 than a new me.

I'm starting to get more nervous, but I keep telling myself that it's all for the better.

One preop visit, one lab visit, one bypass diet visit and then surgery. I don't know if anyone else has gone to Mayo Clinic, but they do not mess around. I've had to keep a significant food log (with pre and post-meal feelings) since November, had to cut out any alcohol and most caffeine and had to significantly increase exercise in order to be discharged.

Sorry, I'm kinda freaking out here. All of the forums here have been a massive help thus far, and I hope to post/contribute more as I go through the process.

WHEEE!

I had my gastric sleeve yesterday 3/30. Hope you are doing well!

Sadly I was suppose to start my soft foods today and I can't so I'm back on clear liquids.... My update sucks... Huh

14 lbs is great! Have you tried liquid Tylenol to help with pain? It works for me. I have a feeling I will frequently be nauseated through this process but the patch and anti-nausea helps. Dr gave me helps. Hang in there .. we are recovering.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
