- I haven't had to give myself an injection of blood thinners in about a week or so, but I found that one site where I did give myself an injection is semi numb. I've had a horrible bruise there for a couple of weeks.Think this is anything I should...
- I'm 3 weeks post op as of yesterday, but the scale hasn't shown any loss in about two weeks.I've seen the posts and know that I will have many plateau's throughout this journey, but I didn't think I would have one so soon and for this long....I'm...
- I have a great support system behind me after my WLS. Everyone has been here for me and willing to help in a moments notice with anything I need.Despite the support system, I still feel so alone. It has nothing to do with the loss of food, because...
- So I found that when I really put on the majority of my weight, I started getting migraines.I have a major one right now and all I can take for it is tylenol.I was just wondering if anyone found that migraines went away after WLS?
- So last night before bed, I had ONE scrambled egg. It tasted good and went down no problem, though I may have eaten it a tad too quickly.I woke up this morning and as usual, went right to the fridge and got a protein shake. After a few sips, I was...
- Ok, I know it's not a big deal, but I had to share.After a month of being on liquids, I was finally able to have chilli for dinner tonight.It was infreakincredible!!! I am beyond excited and I had no trouble with it!!!!YAY!!!!!
- Hopefully I'll be switched over to pureed foods on Friday, but I'm finding in the mean time that I need to choke down the protein shakes which I liked prior to surgery. I almost want to vomit and I spent all this money on these shakes.I don't know...
- Sorry if this is TMI....I'm 6 days post op and when I went to the bathroom tonight, there was blood when I wiped. I know that it's not my period since I had that just prior to surgery.I have been experiencing pain in my back down near my hip, but I...
- Suregery was Monday and I just came home today and I'm feeling very much so under the weather, but happy to be home. The pain I'm feeling is incredible, but getting better day by day. From what everyone was saying, their pain wasn't that bad, so I...
- I'm so excited!!!This time tomorrow, I should be resting comfortably (I hope) in my hospital room!! Thank you to everyone for helping me as I've struggled over the past two weeks. I can't tell you how much it's meant to me!!
- My surgery is this upcoming Monday and I'm getting very anxious about the surgery itself and not what comes after.I'm sure most people experience this, so I just wanted to see what everyone has done to make it so that you're not quite so anxious!?
- Hey Gang!So... I'm curious to see who takes what vitamins on top of our daily multi and calcium supplements.I was trying to find a good Biotin supplement, but I wasn't sure that the ones I saw were correct cause the pills looked GI-NORMOUS!I also...
- As I knew it would be....My family is all hanging out tonight.. I wanted to come because I wanted to spend time with everyone...As I type this, I'm drinking my protein shake while everyone is in the other room eating pizza, which I would just about...
- I can't believe my surgery is in 10 days!!! I absolutely can not thank all of you enough for being the awesome and supportive group that you are!!!I went and had my preadmission testing today and everything is looking FANTASTIC!!!!I saw my doctor's...
- I'm on my two week preop liquid diet right now, and all I can think about is food... Tonight, I cheated when I promised myself I wouldn't do that.. Why cheat myself out of having the best possible outcome for my surgery?So now that I cheated, I'm...
