Dropped 5 pounds, but...



Recommended Posts

My body seems to do this... I stay the same, stay the same, and bam, overnight drop several pounds. It's ranged from 3 lbs-7 lbs.

Last night I was at 230, this morning I was 225! (This is great because I haven't weighed 225 since my senior year of college.)

BUT I have a RAGING head ache. I am at work and don't know how I will make it through the day. I am drinking A LOT of Water in case it's due to dehydration. I also took 3 advils.

Does this happen to anyone else? Do you think it's due to the rapid weight loss?

Hi Littlefroggy

I haven't been banded yet.....November 12th. But i have been on many a diet. I always get a raging head ache when i cut out sugar for a few days.... like a Migraine headache......i take liquid Advil for it and most often it works. Looks like your are doing fabulously with your weight loss....how much time did you take off work after surgery? How was recovery for you??

I too lose in stair steps. Nothing for a week or two, then BAM down 4 pounds. It's apparently normal for me. It think it is for a lot of people.

I felt like I had a migraine. By the time lunch came it went away and eating did help.

I took a week off work (7 days of recovery w/ the weekend.) Seriously, I could have used MORE time off! I was not one of those people who was great 3 days after surgery. It took me about 2 weeks to feel normal again. I was very tired, achy, and so forth. With the amount of sitting I was doing at work, I also was having a lot of pain in my stomach/port area.

However, now I feel like things are going great, and it was TOTALLY worth it!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
