Topic: RE: April 2008 RNY's
Hi, my surgery was on the 28th. I weighed in that day at 261 and today I'm at 234. I'd love to say it's been easy, but it really hasn't. I've really struggled with nausea and weakness. I'm still not sure I made the right decision... I guess it's too late to second guess myself though, right? I just hope things improve soon.

Topic: RE: A weight stall at 2.5 weeks ?????
Darlin', I feel your pain. Mine has stalled as well. I lost 18 pounds the first week, and only 9 in the next 3!!! I know that if you aren't getting enough fluids your body will hold onto fluids, so keep your fluid intake up and keep your salt intake in check. I hope we both pick up the pace soon! Best of luck to you.

Topic: RE: Feeling very weak
This just goes to show how different the post op directions are from doctor to doctor. Mine says NO fruit juice but yes to my chewable vitamins. I'm still as weak as a kitten, but I find that the more protein I can choke down the better I seem to do. I also do better the more fluids I can handle. I just had my surgery on the 28th, so I'm hoping for some relief, too. I hear that B12 deficiency causes weakness. Maybe your doc could check for that? Best of luck to you.

Topic: Post Op Nausea for 1 Mont
I woke up from my RNY on the 28th feeling WONDERFUL and continued that way for another day, but on the third day...the NAUSEA hit. I struggled with dry heaves which were controlled with meds, but the nausea, though not severe, never really leaves. Please tell me this won't last forever. I'm not sure I did the right thing having this surgery. This is agony.
