Talk to your surgeon, I had the same problem and I swallowed my pill in a teaspoon of applesauce twice a day. Applesauce also works a lot better then putting your crushed medications in jello like the nurses tried with me the day after surgery.

Clean my whole house without sitting down to rest every 15 minutes. Going up and down stairs. I have 3 chihuahuas, they all fit in my chair with me at the same time so no one gets jealous. Wearing smaller size shoes along with everything else. I have 4 sisters, for the first time in my life...

Thanks StinkerBelle, I was beginning to worry. Hope mine starts to fad away soon. I was also on prednisone for over 20 years, but have been off of it about 10 years, but it did its damage. My breatheing is a lot better since the weight loss. Just on Advair, singulair and ventolin for the...

I have lost almost 70 pounds all over my body, skin hanging everywhere, however I dont think I have lost very little if any of the belly fat. I have always had a huge belly. Does anyone know of something that will help? I have COPD and asthma so the only exercise I tolerate is the treadmill.

Good luck, didnt notice date, hope you had the surgery.

My sunglasses kept falling off especially when i would put them on the top of my head, they finally fell off on a sidewalk and broke. Never thought about the weight lose on my head, lol. My cheeks and chin has slimmed down just didnt connect the other.

there is a protein shake I found at walmart and kroger, it is called Myoplex. the large one has 42g protein, 300 calories in 17 oz drink. the calories are a little high, so i walk a little extra on the treadmill and use it for my lunch.

If you have a GNC in your area, try their Lean Shake. Very good taste, 3 flavors. Already liquid no mixing. I also had to do the small Atkins advantage shake twice a day for the pre op diet I was on, so I kept it after surgery. Between one Lean Shake and 1 atkins shake it gives you 40g...

Hi Andrea, great to hear you are doing so well. I too have had few problems and started the bowflex, flat, for 5-10 2 times a day. Have been able to do mashed potatoes and a little gravy for evening meal. Also doing GNC lean shake and 1 adkins advantage drink daily, total of 40 protein. Then...

I have had really bad sinus problems for years, but has not caused nausea. Had nausea a few days after surgery, then none. I have to take a Zyrtec D crushed up and mixed with applesauce each night. Takes care of all sinus problems. If you have had it this long I would check with your Doctor...

I had my surgery 5 days ago, main point to get rid of the diabetes. Much of the really bad effects was starting to happen, seemed like the thing to do. woke up this morning, bs 205. Has not been that high in the morning in years. I am hoping the big weight loss will take care of it. I guess...

My surgery date is Nov 6, I was put on a diet for 2 weeks before surgery, the nurse said it was to "shrink my liver". I have lost 6 pounds in 10 days. I had to loose 10 pounds (actually lost 11) that they required a couple of months ago. The 2 week diet was drinking slim fast or atkins, or any...
