POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Dose anyone have a lot of heart burn at all

So I know it's okay to take the sugar free version of robitussin, however do I take the normal amount? I am 4.5 months post op. [emoji4][emoji4]

I'm at post op day 7 and the swelling on my belly is going away. My back pain us constant and the pain at my incisions are hurting more. I went back to work two days ago and that hasn't helped. No fever, redness or drainage from the incisions so it appears they are healing fine. Just so tired of being in pain

I had my sleeve surgery 2/20/17 spent one day in hospital. Home now the first thing I did was weigh myself. I was heavier this morning post surgery. Maybe it because of all the IV fluids and gas pumped in my abdomen? I have cramps how long will this feelings of bloating last?

Sleeved 2/16 today I was cleared for mushiness yesterday I did 40 oz liquid today I did about 25 oz. I feel so weak not dizzy but weak.

I've been feeling discouraged lately! The scale hasn't moved in a week and I started work again on Monday. I haven't been able to work out and I just feel really sad. I drink two Protein shakes and 2 meals a day no Snacks and a lot of Water. My NUT said I should hit 800-1000 calories a day and I only hit around 500-600 a day. And I have rheumatoid arthritis and the pain came back this week so painful that's another reason I don't work out... Sorry for the rant/post just needed to write something down.

Hello I just want to see what everyone's doctor recommends ... I'm 1 week post-op and already motivated to work out lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am really Struggling . I had my sleeve a year ago this past January. At the last weigh in I was down 100 + not sure exactly I know it was over 100. I am so disgusted with myself at this point. I have lost my focus on eating right and feeling good about myself I find myself snacking on my son's Snacks and hiding it from everyone. I find that I can eat almost anything s ok metime a small amount or not. Simetimes I feel that I have stretched out my sleeve. I am under a lot of stress right now. I need some advice on how to get my butt back to focusing on the right things.

I'm lost 41 pounds so far. Wow Sent from my LGMS550 using the BariatricPal App

I am 3 months post op and always feel hunger. Trying to eat small portions 4-5 times a day. My problem is to consume enough water. Does anyone feel hunger?

I'm almost 6 months out, and I'm planning a trip to a weed friendly state but wondering if i should even bother with any edibles. Will my stomach effect the high? Will it be a waste? Any advice. Thanks!

So I was sleeved 2-20-17. Yay! I had a rought time in the hospital. Barely drank anything im still having a hard time getting used to my new pouch. When I lay down it feel like all the contents of my stomach wants to come up my throat. And the gas omg. I dont have a problem down south as much as i do up north. The belching does not feel good either, it kinda hurts i with i did have to pass gas lol. Does this go away or will i forever have gas?

Hey sleevers! This dietbet is designed just for us!!! http://dbet.me/qOiUg2

6 weeks post op this Monday & I'm losing control here. I am not eating how I'm supposed to be eating. I've had pizza and wings and tonight I've eaten almost 1000 in calories. (3 FULL slices of a medium pizza from Pizza Hut & 6 buffalo wings). Not all at once obviously. But that's what I had today. I'm so upset with myself. SO upset!! I know I'm going to regret telling my surgeon about the food because, I mean, c'mon. Who just has a surgery like this & does something so stupid?!? But I'm deathly scared that I've been stretching my sleeve with how bad I've been eating. It's been ongoing for about a week now. Is it too early to do the pouch reset?! Somebody kick…

I'm having trouble getting my calories up and I'm curious about how people are meeting this calorie range. So can anyone show me a sample menu of how you get in this many calories a day, please? Or the staple foods that you include in your diet to help you reach this amount of calories?

What does everybody eat for the soft foods stage? I feel like I'm stuck on protein shakes and apple sauce still. What are some healthy soft foods options?

So I am 5 months post-op and am down 75 lbs. My 12 year old daughter had a dance performance over the weekend. I was sitting in the balcony at the theater and remained after the show. The performers gathered on stage and were getting feedback from the director. My daughter was looking around so I stood up and waved to her. She looked confused and pointed to herself and was like "me???" Um...yes you silly... she slightly waved and looked somewhat embarrased. She told me afterwards that she DIDN'T RECOGNIZE IT WAS HER OWN MOTHER! At a distance, she visually saw a much skinnier person and thought it was some random person. Ha!! THAT, my friends was so AWESOME!!!

I move to week 2 post op tomorrow and get to transition from Clear Liquids to full liquids (Soups, yogurts, milk, Protein shakes) What is your favorite week 2 food? I am so excited!!!!

So yesterday I got OCD with cleaning and super happy to throw away some clothes. I have since made it my goal to slowly replace items that no longer fit, for instance, donate or throw away 4 pairs of clothes, buy 4 pairs of clothes. However, I don't necessarily want this to be a constant (buy all new clothes, only to get rid of em for a smaller size), because I haven't reached my goal. So what are some tips on clothes management?

Can you guys share your typical eating scheduled? I'm struggling to get in sync with one and then find myself too hungry and eat too fast. Thanks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

What made you decide on the sleeve vs having RNY or another procedure?

Heyyy! I got sleeved 9/13! was wondering how everyone sleeved around the same time is doing? I'm having some difficulties with food... i don't know how to deal.... anyone have any food suggestions? How is everyone feeling overall? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey everyone! I'm wondering how many calories one should be eating about 5 months post-op. Up until now I've been eating around 600-850 calories a day but these past few days I've been eating closer to 900 which is scaring me a bit because I don't know if this is too much. At my 3 month follow up appointment my NUT told me I should be eating 1000-1200 calories which seems way too high for someone only 3 months post op. I'm not doing any exercise routine at all either. I had my surgery on September 19th so I'm almost 5 months post op now, but I don't know when I should start increasing my calories and what would be a good range. I know it'd probably better to not worry t…

I'm am almost at 14days so moving to soft foods. Can I have scrambled eggs and tuna maybe blended. I feel like I need protein. I have no energy or patience. What was everyone eating?

It's hard for me to see the difference since I had surgery so I compared pictures and what a difference! So glad I got sleeved!!

Ever since I started the pre-op diet 12-13, I have been having issues trying to get to sleep. I was sleeved on 12-27 and about 50% of the time my body jerks myself awake just as I'm starting to doze. I have never had this problem before. . Anyone else. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Hey everyone , I got sleeved on December 22nd, and I am very happy I am 24 pounds down but in a 3 week time I only lost 2 pounds which is so disappointing and doesn't give me much motivation. I'm scared I am back to where I was prior to surgery( working out dieting and not losing). Also for the past month I have been having severe abdominal pain( to the point where I am crying ) and this happens every couple of days. I have attempted laxatives, suppositories, and enemas, thinking it's just constipation but I feel like it's more than that. I don't know what though. Help so sad , and tired of being in pain and stopping from having a life due to this.

A) Will we EVER be able to have it? B WHEN?? Going to the movies tomorrow....and I am a popcorn freak! It was the reason for going to the movies for me. Now i know a whole bag...is OUT...but a handful?? Anyone?

I'm sorry if this is tmi to post but I don't know what to do. I'm going to call my doctor but I want to know if anyone else has experienced this. I woke up this morning to blood in my underwear. It was a huge amount of vaginal discharge. It looked like it could be period blood but I ended my period about a week ago. And it didn't start out light and then get heavier, it looks like it all came out at the same time. I'm newish to the forums so if someone already posted about this is missed it and I'm sorry. But please if you have any idea what's going on please help

My dr gave me cipro for it I only have like 2 days left of antibiotics and Ithink randomly still hurts to pee... I know this is tmi I'm going to call my dr later but this sucks progress starts in the mind

They are not SOOOO bad but oh man do they hurt. I am 5 days post op and I thought I was in the clear but they came and they came with a vengeance! And this liquid post op diet is KILLING ME. I AM SO HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. I CANNOT WAIT FOR MONDAY the 13th... that's when I start my next phase of diet. Any tips, help, advice?? Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I am 5 days post op and having a really hard time. I'm having what feels like extreme heartburn usually happens about 10 seconds after I drink but sometimes happens when I move suddenly (like get up or bend down). Called the doctor Friday he put me on Levsin for spasms and Nexium for acid reflux (which I never chronically had before maybe 4x a year tops). And when I wake up first thing in the morning the nausea is so bad I gag like I'm going to throw up. I take nausea medicine and it goes away within 15-20 min. I'm wondering, did anyone else have all of this? How long did it take to go away? I can't imagine living like this the rest of my life. Please help!

So I had gastric bypass on Jan 24th I was fine until this last week and a half, I have no energy, my body is fatigue, I'm just weak I don't have an appetite to eat and I just be so sleepy. and can not seem to get warm always so cold, i know I'm not getting all my protein or liquids in cause I just can't seem to get them in, in a day, I'm sleep most of the day, I don't throw up are anything just feel so weak and have no energy to do anything and today my heads hurts so bad, any suggestions? I do see my doc on this Wednesday

I drank a small shot last night and it burned and ached inside of my stomach for at least 5 minutes. The pain was excruciating! Needless to say that will be the last time I do that! Has anyone had a similar experience? Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I am 2 weeks post-op and I'm at a weight loss stall is that unusual to be at a stall in just two weeks. I have lost 12 pounds and that's it...I'm stalled... I hope I'm not the only one on the planet for whom this surgery does not work

Omg...sleeved on 10th feb. Been ok. Coping with the full fluids but had no bowel movements since before surgery. Woke up feeling sluggish and not good at all so hubby went to pharmacy and got me a wonderful liquid called Lactulose and FINALLY HOUSTON WE HAVE MOVEMENT!! but boy did it hurt. Sorry for tmi but am happy and needed to share lol. Mandi xx

Cravings still here. I'm afraid I will stretch my stomach back out. I personally don't notice an change. I feel look the same. Sent from my LGMS550 using the BariatricPal App

I've always heard from my support groups, doctor, and also on here about the stomach stretching after surgery.... but how does it stretch? Overeating?

Hi everyone! I need some advice. I had my RnY on 2:8/16 and I am still having head hunger. And not just a little bit either. I thought maybe.... just maybe the head hunger will go away a little afterwards. But I was wrong. it is worse than before. I still want food that I know I can't have. It is a struggle and I'm really depressed. You can only take so much of these protein shakes. And I'm only 1 week out!!!! I can barely drink half a protein shake before my stomach says nope, no more. And yet I want 6 slices of pizza!!! I'm so frustrated. What do I do? Anyone else deal with this? If so, please help!

I was sleeved on Friday 2/17/17, my question is that I have constant burning sensations around my wounds, Is this normal?? Its driving me crazy. Im scared that my wounds aren't healing? Am i being paranoid? Help!

Pretty rough night :'( I'm 2 weeks post op getting ready to add some soft foods when I woke up in the middle of the night with severe stabbing pain throughout my abdomen. Has any one else experienced this right as the switch to soft foods. Last thing I ate was 2oz of haddock and was very full. Wondering did I over do it? Didn't think is was to much. Cat scan came back fine! Hoping it does not return but belly is still not feeling right :'( Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App

I'm 10 days post op and was doing great! Got off clear liquid diet Wednesday and have gained 3lbs in 3 days. I've actually increased my exercise. I'm walking at least 1 mile/day (yesterday was 1.5 mikes) and I've been able to increase my Protein to 60grams since getting on full liquid diet. I didn't think this would bother me, but couldn't sleep thinking I'm doing something wrong. Has anyone else experienced this? My calorie intake is still under 500.

Well my surgery was May 26, 2016 and day of surgery I weighed 326 and my highest weight two months before surgery was 358. I currently weight 213, and have been fluctuating within the 213-216 lb range for over 3 months now. I am starting to measure all meals again and I still drink Protein powder in my coffee every morning. I eat approximately a cup to 1.5 c of food per meal, an example my Breakfast is coffee and a light and fit yogurt (80 cal), lunch is cheese crackers and lunch meat, dinner a protein about 2 oz or palm of my hand or smaller, a 1/2- 1 cup of veggie and maybe 1/4 cup of a starch like couscous, or rice or no starch at all. I have had major hunger feeling c…

I had my surgery on the 9th of February. Everything went great and I have had no problems other than trying to make sure I get all my protein in for the day. When I woke up this morning though I had a pain in my left side it was kind of a sharp pain. It reminded me of when you have been running and you get a cramp in your side. Not sure what it is and was curious if anyone else has had any similar pain? I know the body goes through a lot with the surgery and I should expect some pain here and there. Just wanting to make sure it's not something I need to worry about.

I have not seen this question ever posted. Wondering if it is possible to lose too much weight wIth Rny? I have 80 Lbs to lose.

Hi everyone ? I'm having my surgery done at 9am tomorrow... The day is finally hereee lol. I'm a bit nervous & I have a few questions. Hopefully someone can help Im curious on how the pain and feeling was when you first woke after surgery and I guess how did that day/night go? Another thing is I've been experiencing what I think is tension headaches the past 3 days and I'm wondering if its something I should be concerned about and let my surgeon know... Any and ALL advice is appreciated . Thanks so much . God bless

I was sleeved on 15 Feb. I am still in a lot of pain with the stitch area my stomach came out of, sometimes I can't. Even walk without pain, In the morning I have paracetamol, and a glass of Water or diet cordial (sip,sip,sip). I have more water throughout day, I then have a shake around 11 but then the pain in side stitch is so bad I need to lay down, I then sip on water for the rest of the day with another shake at night (not even a full one;can't fit it in). What are other people eating? I tried a creamed chicken Soup today, I had one mouthful and couldn't do anymore...

I lost 25 pounds in the first 2 weeks and now I haven't lost in 2 weeks what's wrong??
