I think when I see people who lose 50 to 80 pounds in just a few months I get a bit frustrated. I know someone who had surgery 2 months after I did and has already lost 56 pounds and is in...
It's the 3rd time I've fractured it too. Just when it finally heals I redamage it. I now have an orthopedic doctor and will be starting physical therapy. But, I really think my tail bone has had it...
I'm only averaging 10 pounds a month. So, in 4 months I've only lost 40 pounds but only down 2 dress sizes and 28 total inches.
My biggest issue is not being able to exercise because of a broken...
I will talk to my Doc when I see him Thursday about a note. Thanks all.
I average about 5-6 glasses of water a day. But, I think I need to up that to 8. You're right!!!
I'm getting annoyed. I've been on a 3 week stall bouncing around 3 pounds up and down. I'm almost 9 weeks post op.
I've tried adding more protein to my already 80g of protein. I've upped my...
My blood pressure was never high before 110/80 but fell to 78/52. Never took meds before. As for vitamins. I'm lazy. If I have nothing planned I usually forget. But if I'm going somewhere or working...
@Msvetrn...No, he hasn't asked for any blood work and I didn't even think to ask for a Referral for blood work. I see him next week. I think I'll call the office tomorrow for a referral. Great...
Looks like a good day to vent: I'm now 7 weeks post op. I was supposed to go to work this week BUT...there isn't a chance in hell that's going to happen anytime soon. I have zero energy. Yes, I get...
From what I've read just in this forum, it seems to be normal. I was at a stall week 4 thru 5 post op. I'm back to dropping a pound a day and approaching 30 pounds as I hit my 6 week mark. So, just...
My doctor today said DO NOT COUNT protein shakes in my fluid count. And I was. So, more water and juice for me.
I think that was the issue for me. Counting protein drinks and soups but these are dehydrators. Lesson learned. So, I'll be drinking more water and juices to get to 64oz and get my blood pressure...
A pparently I now might be suffering from postural hypotension (90/60 and under blood pressure) because I get very light headed and get dizzy when I stand or change positions or am out and about......
I posted this in exercise and fitness but didn't get a response so I thought I'd try here.
I got a great deal on the Flex Belts Muscle Toners. One for the abs, one for arms and one for butt and...
I got a great deal on the Flex Belts Muscle Toners. One for the abs, one for arms and one for butt and back of thighs.
I'm only 3 1/2 weeks post op so I I know I have a few weeks to go till I can...
Thank you for posting this. I'm entering week 3 and prepared for a stall but now I have no excuse to cheat.
:confused:
I'm sorry for such a stupid question but I absolutely can not tell when I'm full. I know I'm only 2 weeks post op.
For breakfast I have 1 serving of cream of wheat. Recipe says 1 1/4...
I'm in guest relations and do a lot of walking, talking, bending, lifting and standing both indoors and out. Plus I'm rarely assigned to do the same thing each day. And my hours fluctuate. One day I...
Thanks all, it's just so frustrating. My Doctor wants me to start walking. I walk up the stairs and I'm done.
Cream of wheat was ok'd by both my Dr and NUT. It's considered a soft food especially since you can't chew it.
I'm 10 days out and still have NO energy. I sleep till 10am, get up and have some cream of wheat and afterwards immediately have to lie down to take a nap. Have a protein shake around 1 and same...
The other thing to try is going to a place like Nordstrom's and get fitted by someone who is a specialist. She might be able to find the right kind of bra.
I'm 7 days post op and experienced my first bout of nausea and dry heaves. BUT... It was all my own fault. I drank too much (1 1/4 cup cream of wheat) too fast (15 minutes). Lesson learned quickly!
Went to Doctor today for 1 week post op and was given the ok to go from clear liquids to anything as long as you can't chew. So cream of wheat, creamy peanut butter and soft cheese. In fact he...
