You gotta drink liquids. It's great you have gone past your goal, however,
you could be doing your body an injustice by not following your surgeons
orders in what you are suppose to eat and drink. Have you lost a lot of
hair -- lack of protein intake. Dehydration is not something to play with.
I suggest you get on those liquid protein drinks. My partner is almost 3
years out and she has never had any of these issues that some people post
-- she followed the doctors orders to the letter. Can't help you with
loading the pics. Has your surgeon seen you?

honey you need to see your PCP, if you aren't feeling well you need to talk
to your doc. Also, nothing is wrong with the protien drinks start drinking
them and are you taking your vitamins?
The most imporant thing you can do at this point is see your doctor. don't
mess with your health. you've come to far at this point.

Yes go see your doctor or better yet a nutritionist you really need this I
am 15 months out and I still do my protien drinks I use the punch liquid
protien by GNC and mix it with crystal light it is a awesome drink I do
think you need to get protien and also vitamins.. Check the foods and make
sure you are getting protien in them also. I hope things change for you
soon and please e-mail me if you would like to talk more Cindy

You don't have to do the protein shakes, but, you do have to get your
vitamins checked. Do you take vitamins? Are you drinking at least 64 oz. of
water a day
Id you are drinking soda stop immediately. That will hurt you more than
anything will. Please see you pcp if you can not get to your surgeon. This
could be a serious cituation. Are you eating carbs & not enough
protein. too many factors to say without seeing you pcp.

I would see you doctor immediately. Unfortunately, my mom has has the
surgery too, and is down to 87lbs... not healthy at all. I am scared that
I am going to lose her, as she is to weak to work, she has a heart
condition. Do you eat? My mom eats but its but its not enough. I had the
surgery 3 years ago and because of stress i have gained back 40lbs not
liking it all. But I have gone back to my surgeon and the nutritionist and
the psychiatrist. Please see your doctor, take care of yourself.
