Topic: RE: Feeling Sick all the time
Hi Robin...I am going through the exact same things you are...it seems as if I'm nauseated ALL the time...when I eat I'm sick...when I don't eat I'm sick...I had the VSG on March 18/09...I just started level 4 and can have eggs and pureed and ground stuff...from everything I have read we aren't alone and for me I find that comforting as I have been feeling alone, depressed and wondering what I have done...and I'm scared that I will always feel this way...I dont have an appetite at all, do you?
Topic: RE: gall stones??
the only pain i feel is when i eat, kinda right in the middle of my chest...my moms a nurse and said that could be a little warning sign. [it doesnt happen all the time but sometimes after 2 bites im sooo full and feel like im going to throw up..i have but its sooo tolerable] im waiting for my doctor to call back to see if they're just going to watch them for now or if im going to have them taken out. now that im typing lol...ive had a little pain in my sides when i sit in class for awhile...thats probably just from the HARD uncomfy desks [that i can finally cross my legs under!!!]

Topic: RE: So how many here have had the two to three week stall??
Hey guys, so I am just now coming out of my stall. Just like everyone else I was beginning to think, what the heck?!!! But it is true what they say, it will pick back up. After almost two weeks, I finally started losing again. Literally overnight (7 lbs overnight). So be encouraged Marchers, it will happen.
Topic: RE: gall stones??
I had my gallbladder removed prior to surgery, 3 weeks after giving birth to my daughter. It was an easier surgery than my RNY, even though I had stone lodged in my biliary tract. I had awful gallbladder attacks with mine, hurt horribly and I would throw up and be sick to my stomach the whole next day. Glad yours aren't causing you any pain, they will probably jus****ch how they do for now if you aren't in any pain and your liver functions are normal.
Topic: RE: Cant sleep lying down yet????
Oh how I wish I could sleep on my stomach and sides! My left side and under my belly button is still way too sore. I'm so tired of being sore. But...I'll get through it and eventually I'm sure I'll be able to sleep how i want again someday, lol.
Topic: RE: gall stones??
Prior to my RNY, the ultrasound found about 1 doz stones. Bariatric Doc said they'd decide what to do about it while they were performing the Lap RNY,
Post surgery I was told the gall bladder remains since it wasn't inflamed during the RNY procedure. So I live with them until it becomes a problem, I guess.

Topic: LapBand 3/17/09 wwight loss
So far I have lost about 20 pounds. Curious as to others' weight loss at this point.
Topic: RE: Medications
I take a lot of meds... rx, suppliments & OTC... I "CRUSH" all pills & tablets, any capsules are opened & I just take the powder or beads. I spend much of my day taking meds, too. Many pills can be "CRUSHED" into a "FINE POWDER" it does take time, but I have not gotten nauseated yet. Just do not crush anything that is extended release or says on the bottle 'do not crush'. If you call you pharmacist they can tell you what is safe to crush. a pill crusher can be bought for about $5 at the drug store.
best to you!
best to you!
