    I am a month out and I have 1-2 a day on average. I assume it will stop in time and that its just from low blood sugar/pressure and maybe hydration for some people.

    Monitor your blood sugar...are you taking your daily multi vitamins, Calcium citrate vitamin and b-12 absorbables/injections? Are you probably hydrated? If the answer is yes to all of these things, I will contact the nurse and lat him/her know what is going on...It most likely sounds like an issue with electrolytes or your blood sugar.....hope you fel better. How much weight have you lost since the actual surgery?

    Hey! just a measly 12 pounds...Im so excited I cannot help but weigh myself. I returned to work on last night and everyone was happy and suprised to see me and stated that they can tell that Im coming down so I guess the 12 pounds down makes a difference...Be sure to get your fluids in. Im tolerating them well at this point with no pain and I can drink more but not as much as I should but I think its simply because I dont have any desire for food or fluids. I really need to work on getting my required amount of proteins in daily. You can go to your local GNC store. You must start yoour vitamins. I brought a pill crusher to make life a little easier with taking them, but CNC will have everything you need....Good Luck!!!!] I'm not getting enough fluids. I'm working on that. Haven't started my vitamins yet. I haven't weiged myself yet. Gonna wait until my appt on Friday. How u hanging in there" how much have you lost?[/QUOTE]
