So, officially, I gained 5.6 pounds taking in those liquids. I took in 2 liters a day for 2 days. The first day I didn't pee at all. The second day I peed all day and all last night.

So considering I'm good with liquids (because I can take 64oz now) my weigh in today put me at 28 pounds since surgery... bummer... I was so close to ONEderland... sigh.. what can you do? It's not like I'm at my starting weight, right? Lol

On a bright note, the benadryl helped a lot. My hives are mostly gone. I'm going back to Pepcid today and wait for my lame doctor to respond.

The only problem now is Protein.. I can't stomach it for the life of me. I've tried a variety of brands and all of them make me want to throw up right after.

Don't fret the 5 lbs...you still have a long span of losing. Do you feel so much better now that your pumped full of Fluid?

Yes! I feel great! I'm not getting tired anymore going up the stairs. I'm eating again and the hives are mostly gone. Also, I think I've begun I feel hunger. Like my stomach is about to growl, but it never does. It's weird.
Yes, that is a weird feeling. I get that way too. I feel a lack of energy when it's time to eat. I wonder if it's a blood sugar thing.

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

I'm a little over 5 weeks post op. I have lost 20.2 lbs since surgery and 35.2 since pre-op diet. I feel like my weight loss is so slow compares to others. I am on soft foods, and can eat about 2 Oz at a time. I've already had 2 stalls. It's a little discouraging at times.

I'm 5 weeks post op also....and down 24 lbs. I feel pretty satisfied with that. The first 15 did just fall off over night though lol

Do you excersise regularly? I know I need to start doing some serious exercising....I feel plenty good to start aerobics or some power walking. I walk now but I need to step it up.

Tomorrow is my first follow up. Kind of curious.

Follow-up was ok. They did a hemoglobin and ferritin test I requested (waiting for the results now) because I'm currently having a very, very, VERY heavy period after years of Cerazette (I'm scheduled for a Mirena now). I want to know if there is a problem because after years and years of PPI I'm not sure how much Iron my body has still stored. Never had a problem that indicated anemia but who knows?

Today I did a PTA on a dialysis shunt. Took over an hour. Heavy X-ray coat and all.

I should have started with something quick and easy. Now I feel pretty beaten. :wacko:

I have had the Mirena for 2 years now. I don't have periods. The only time I did was right after going on the blood thinners. It lasted a week. Still not a heavy period but enough for a light pad. Now I am back to no period!

I am down 25lbs since surgery! I also just ordered the Vitamin patch. I am going to give it a try since I hate chewing 4 Vitamins a day. Just the thought of it makes me want to throw up! I have a six week follow up next week where I hope to be cleared for all exercise. I have been cleared for exercise for the blood clots. So ready to start back at the Y doing classes!

Sorry, the BMI question was meant for ChooChi73. She was unhappy with her weight loss so far and I just wondered if maybe she started with a lower BMI so didn't lose the weight as quickly as somebody that maybe had a higher BMI.

Sorry for any confusion

Sorry, I didn't realize that question was for me. No, my BMI was 46 on the day of surgery. My highest BMI was 48.5

I was wondering how is everyone doing with the waiting 30 minutes after you drink before you have your protein/meal, and then waiting an hour after you eat before you have your liquids?

So what if I am having a Protein Drink that would also count as my Water intake, then want to eat my meal? If I'm eating Protein or drinking Protein back to back, do I need to have that time in between there where Im not eating or drinking anything?

Does my question make sense to anybody LOL

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
