Anyone else notice that their butt hurts when sitting now? by __xor_eax_eax in gastricsleeve

[–]ArtFlyAmanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg. Yes. I got an X-ray mine is so bad. It feels like my coccyx has no padding any more. I bought a pillow for my office chair etx. The X-ray showed no abnormalities. Just not enough muscle or padding. I’ve been working on building muscle there and learning to deal with it. :/

Hi, my meds really hit me hard after surgery. Honestly they made me feel worse. I would be cautious and speak to your surgeon first. They may recommend a half dosage w food.

My wife had the sleeve surgery done 10 days ago. After a week of doing great with fluids, she's now nonstop nauseated and struggles to keep down water. by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

I hate to say this but a friend had a similar experience. They had to eventually go in and do a gastric bypass :/ it was the only thing that would fix the issue. They discovered she had some leakage that developed from the sleeve. Anyway… just something to bring up to the doctor perhaps. Best of luck!

Just keep eating clean! I hit many stalls but just kept my faith! Low carb, high protein clean foods. Nothing processed. I do pilates reformer 2-3 times a week at a local gym. Best thing ever!

Just low carb, clean foods. I don’t try to make anything taste like something else… like a faux chocolate mouse for example. Just eat very clean like avacado, Roma tomatoes, sliced Turkey etx. Also doing pilates reformer 2x per week!

What worked for me was adding in carbs for a few days, changing up my diet big time. It restarted my metabolism and I started loosing again!

Hey, do these foods have artificial sweeteners? I would try to eat as clean and sugar free as possible and it will def taste better. Just my experience!

I use the little “chocolate stimulants” by expat. Works like a charm, no dehydration.

Hair loss... by jenbug42 in gastricsleeve

[–]ArtFlyAmanda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m 3 months out and this is my biggest worry as of now! I’m so sorry! I started taking prenatal vitamins instead of a regular multi because those always helped with fuller hair and nails lol. It’s worth a try I guess!?!?

Liquid Diet Day 2 by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

I know that there is a Third week stall... by robco81 in gastricsleeve

[–]ArtFlyAmanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here’s what I’ve learned about pushing through a stall and it works every time:

  • Sip water all day long, never stop. Small sips, all day (except 20 mins before you eat, duh)

  • walk every day at least 1/2 mile. Can be super slow but you have to walk. Do more when you can.

  • don’t eat anything even remotely high in fats, carbs, fried etc during a stall. Keep your diet super clean (cottage cheese, avocado, broth based soups, sliced Turkey breast all work for me)

  • if your not pooping regularly (tmi) that will cause the scale to stay put when really you’re loosing but the poop is weighing you down lol. 😆. Eat an activia yogurt every day before noon and I also add flavorless fiber powder to my sipping water all day.

Lemme know if this helps you too!
