Topic: RE: 3 week post op appt/What are you eating and your weight! Am I on the right track!
I am so glad to know that someone is there with me. I have been trying to starve myself to lose so weight this Monday and my doctor is like strict. So he will probally flip if I have not lost a pound. I just pray that it is a stall and that I start losing weight SOON! I feel I am eating the right things and If I am not going to lose than why???? can't I eat whatever I want.
GOOD Luck and look forward to hearing back from you!

Topic: RE: 3 to 4 weeks out... serious constipation issues .
I'm actually jealous of everyone. I have had diarrhea ever since my surgery. It just seems to leak out constantly - it's so bad I actually wear a sanitary pad in the back of my panties. I'm about ready to tear my hair out! I'm too nervous to leave my house for very long. I hope this gets better soon...

I am the same way only worse I was only going 1 a week. I went to GNC and got me some smooth move and it works like a charm and it is very good tea to drink

Topic: RE: gastric sleeve operation
I had my sleeve the same day as you. I had trouble with nausea bad for the first two weeks. I had iv, pill, and liquid forms of various anti-nausea meds. You should tell your surgeon about how you feel, maybe they can give you something to help. Also, my nutritionist told me that nausea is a bad cycle because you don't eat and then you feel even more nauseous. You should try the VSG forum and you will get tons of responses- it is aVERY active forum. I hope you feel better soon!

Topic: RE: Water Intake?
My surgeon's office told us right up front that most people have difficulties with water. They suggested drinking Propel, Crystal Lite, etc... Give it a try. I have not had any problems with these. My problem is not being able to drink with meals. Then when you wait 1 hour after meals to drink, it is almost time to eat again!
Topic: RE: 3 week post op appt/What are you eating and your weight! Am I on the right track!
I was down 16 pounds at my two week follow-up but haven't lost a pound since then! I am now exactly 4 weeks post surgery. I can tell I have lost inches if not pounds. We were told this would happen. Your body has to catch up with your weight loss. My doctor put me on two weeks liquid after surgery, then two weeks pureed. I am just now adding "test" foods to my meals.
