Need Advice Im 21 Yrs Old And Im 3 Weeks Post-Op And Im Getting Tired That I Can't Have At Least One Bite Of Foods I Love.
Iliana82 replied to Karen2012's topic in Food and Nutrition
I can relate. The beginning is the worst. First you just had surgery and you are getting use to the smaller stomach. Second you have several food restrictions. Its a lot to take in especially when you are in a social atmosphere. I was frustrated myself as well. I bought so many proteins and hated them all. No worries you will soon (3 months post op) start getting use to the smaller stomach, find a protein you love (I love CLICK and BIG TRAIN FIT FRAPPE buy sample packets try them out) the swelling will start going down and you will be able to fit in a little bit more of food. I remember throwing up,heart palpitations (from sugar I ate ) feeling dizzy (from not drinking or eating enough). It was all trial and error for me. You will get the hang of it, for now it is hard and frustrating. Thats why we are here! Support :-) You will soon get to a point where you think you are eating a lot and people are like "yea right!" lol. I see you are in the LA area, who did your surgery? I live there too. -
I am in LOVE with POWER CRUNCH bars, they are yummy. Vanilla, Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Cookies n Cream. I have gotten several people hooked on them. I find mines at 24hr fitness, trader joes, gnc, bariatric pantry, rite aid or vitamin shoppe. YUMMMY seriously

Iliana82 replied to upwardfocusedgirl's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Girly so am I!!!!!! I started in that pant range for surgery and I am in a size 12 with 30lbs to lose!!! Doesn't it feel great?! Let me know how you are doing? I noticed I am losing weight slower now. I wonder is it is due to the lower BMI? I can tell a different with energy and movement, can you? It feels awesome! -
Light Headed, Heart Palputations, Dizzy
Iliana82 replied to Looking Ahead's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Let your doctor know about your symptoms. I had similar ones and it happens when I am dehydrated. Stay on top of your fluids. I also had heart palpitations when I had ingested too much sugar (a bite of vanilla ice cream) thought I was gonna die! I get dizzy when I don't eat much and workout too much, my sugar drops, so I carry emergency glucose tabs. I learned what my body is doing in different situations, since you are so early out, let you doctor know. But drink fluids and make sure you eat. -
When Can I Start Eating Bread?
Iliana82 replied to ImprovedDreamerGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you were to eat this, try sugar free jelly. Honestly I am six months out and I cant take a bit out of sandwhiches or anything that has bread. Makes me feel horrible. My fav food was pizza and now I can have a bite or two of thin crust and I am done. -
Feeling Out Of Place While Shopping
Iliana82 replied to legal loser's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can totally relate. Happened to me when I was a size 16/18. Now I am a 12 (single digits come soon pls!! ) and shopping in regular stores. It feels awesome to have some many choices but I still feel weird and I feel that people are staring at me thinking fat girl get out of our store. I know it's my mind playing tricks on me. It hasn't gotten use to the idea that we are not that size anymore. Congrats! -

Iliana82 replied to Billysbelly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Scared I Will Resent My Husband For Treating Me Differently After....
Iliana82 replied to Nikki613's topic in The Gals' Room
I can relate to this topic. I have yo yo so many times. When I met my boyfriend, I had lost 50lbs then gained it all back because of health reasons. A year and a half into dating I got the VSG. I am 6 months post op and I am way smaller than when he first met me. I did noticed a difference. He is more attentive and is more hands on compliments fly off the roof now. I first I was like wow, did he not like me before? Did he think I was ugly?? It bothered me. Then I got to thinking, yes he did like me, hence we were together. But at that time I didn't even like myself, I could barely stand looking in the mirror and I couldn't take a compliment because I always shot it down. Now that I am loving the new me, so is he. Enjoy the ride! -
Try and stay motivated, which might be really hard, especially when you have other people questioning your decision. Write out why it is you want to do this for yourself, the benefits, and refer to it when you have negative thoughts. Research, join support groups and be active in them. I am almost 6 months post op and I don't regret this decision. Yes, weight loss is challenging, it isn't easy, even with the sleeve you still have to work at it. But I tell you its the best gift I have given myself.
