Guest guest Posted June 2, 2000 Report Share Posted June 2, 2000 Hi people!!! I am three weeks post-op today, and I have lost an amazing 21lbs!!! I still can't see it yet, but that's ok for now. I am having a couple small problems that I wanted to ask about. I have e- mailed Dr. R, but I guess he's probably too busy too respond. I am having trouble with exhaustion. I can't seen to get enough sleep. I am ALWAYS tired and I find myself falling asleep at work!!! Thank God I have an office with a door that locks!!! I am eating right and getting all of my meds in - I don't know what's wrong. My energy level is pretty low. Mornings are especially tough. I still have some nausea in the mornings - is that because of hormones - I did have to stop taking birth control pills. Any suggestions? Also, I hate to bring this up, but I spend a lot of time in the bathroom - which I think is normal, but how long does that last? Will it always be like this? I digest food so quickly and it can sometimes be very inconvenient. I work and go to school - both full time. I don't have that much time to spend, literally, sitting around - if you know what I mean!! Other than that, things are great. I am able to eat a lot more things then I thought I would - eggs, yogurt, cheese, crackers, some fruit & veggies, potatoes, chicken, peanut butter, cottage cheese, soups, pasta, etc. I'm still learning and it gets better every day. Good luck to all of those in the process - hang in there - I definitely feel your pain. It will happen, just be patient!!! If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thnaks for your help!!!!
