Starting this thread because A) we are post op now and B ) the other thread is ridiculously long. Loving the updates so let’s keep it going ?

That's a bummer. Maybe zap in the microwave halfway through your meal?? Sometimes I think something is wrong with me because I read about it taking people 30 minutes or an hour to eat 3-4 ounces and I can eat a meal in about 15 minutes with no issues. I am trying to eat slowly, but I need concentrate more on slowing down.

Yeah I can eat in 15 mins too. I do get sick if I eat too much too fast but an egg is fjnet

Did my weekly weigh in and had a big scale victory 294 lbs. I haven't been under 300 lbs in 14 years!!! 41 pounds lost since surgery 6 weeks ago.

Hell yea!!!

Was wondering if anyone had cure for leg cramps, when I use to get cramps before WLS I took like extra magnesium & potassium but like now should I just do the same?

I have been constantly getting in about 70 ounces of water and it's a struggle to do that. Should I increase my water?!

Anyone know...

Do you like tonic water ? The quinine helps with leg cramps! Also yes to the magnesium. I'd start that back up as soon as you can. And hydration itself will help. Keep sipping!

I tried shrimp today. Went really well. It sat is my stomach super easily. I got down about 2oz before I decided I was done. I'll eat the other 2 ounces for dinner. 24 grams of protein in those 4 ounces, so much!

My cardiologist had me on a medication that would cause severe debilitating leg cramps at night. He recommended taking a CoQ10 supplement (which is normally used for heart health but has other positive effects) and the cramps stopped almost immediately. Luckily I was later able to get off the medication that was causing it in the first place.

Shrimp sounds good! How did you cook it?

I did it very basic in butter on the stove. Maybe a minute on each side, or less. I then drained of a much of the excess butter as possible and lightly salted it then added garlic powder and mixed them all together. Very tasty!

T-Bone went with me on a 5 mile bike ride today, so he's one tired pup! He's usually running around insisting that someone play catch with him, but not tonight. LOL! It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed my bike ride in the sunshine listening to some tunes.

So increasing your water also depletes vitamins. I would recommend potassium and mag. Absolutely. As long as none of your medications will react with them. If your worried about a reaction ask ur doc. Or pharmacy

I never really thought about the loss happening in my face but I went out last night with my BFF and we took a selfie and she's like "your face is shrinking!" Here's November with her and last night. She's been a rock star with me through all this
