Cocktails And Alcohol
4myLuvBugs replied to SkinnyOnMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was instructed to wait a whole year...even if you can tolerate drinking earlier the calories may slow down your weight loss... -
Try taking a pillow or two and placing it under your tummy as you lay on your side this way your tummy is directly on the pillow instead of the bed...for me gravity was my worst enemy...the pressure from my weighted tummy pulling down was rough on my incisions...feel better...

I'm almost 4 weeks out and just realized I gained 5lbs and am extremely puzzled...surgery weight was 266 lbs...week 2 post op I was 247 lbs...week 3 I weighed 242 lbs and now that I'm entering week 4 I'm back at 247 lbs...I have to admit I'm not getting in proteins as I should...to stall is one thing but gaining weight is counterproductive...smh...my 4 week post op visit is in the a.m so I will see what happens

Loose Bowel Movement
4myLuvBugs replied to kmbrlycool's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm almost a month out and the first week was when my bowel movements started...I would be on the toilet and my stomach would rumble so bad it sound like someone cranked up a generator...sighs...my stools were liquid I guess from my powerade diet I placed myself on...to add insult to injury I was in so much pain I couldn't wipe my own butt...smh...I'm forever in my boyfriends debt as he was my butt wiper for a few days...lol... -
Hiatal Hernia Question
4myLuvBugs replied to God's Grace's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Funny you post this I'm having the same issue...when I went for my two week post op visit I explained to the nurse about the dull pain and that's when she explained to me that the discomfort was do to my hernia repair...that was the first I even knew I had a hernia repair...it is perfectly normal according to my surgical team... -
Maybe Tmi But I Have To Ask...
4myLuvBugs replied to BMJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went from going twice an hour prior to surgery now I'm two weeks out and lucky if I go three times a day...also right after surgery I couldn't tell when I had to pee I would just get this throbbing sensation in my chest area and that would be my que to get to a bathroom...I'm getting about 50oz of fluid in a day so I'm waiting to see what happens a month out... -

Approved & Scheduled!
4myLuvBugs replied to Bypassjourney's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Congrats...I could imagine all the mixed emotions...lqqk out losers bench you're on your way !!! -
Hopefully everyone enjoyed their holiday...sad to say that I ate all the wrong things with all the wrong portions...almost to the point I felt guilty...
-
Praying for your speedy recovery...hope the pain eases up soon but if not stay on top of your doctor just to make sure those feelings are normal...

Wondering why it is so easy for me to share my thoughts and feelings on my WLS issue with complete strangers rather than talk to friends and family I've known for years...Am I the only one feeling this way ???
-
Appointment with Dr. Terracina ( Bariatric Surgeon ) next Monday...will be the first time seeing him since the WLS seminar last month...never been so excited about a dr's appointment !!!
-
2nd visit with nutritionist today then meeting with the Surgeon next week to discuss my options...fingers crossed !!!
-
Such a BLESSING to have someone and not just anyone there for you every step of the way !!!
-
Really enjoyed your Blogs...kept feeling as if you were writing from my point of view...truly an inspiration for me !!!
-
You may have strayed a little but the most important thing is you realize what you needed to work on and you are giving it another try...heck just contemplating WLS has sent me on an emotional roller coaster and causing me to seek comfort in food something I've NEVER done...just know although you may feel alone there are many others in the same boat...I'm sure you're gonna lqqk amazing in that dress and may even need to get a smaller size...Rooting 4 You :-) !!!
