Had Surgery Wednesday And Feel Awful
#MagicWithinme replied to donna12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Donna, Deep breath and relax, I can say that now 6 months out and over 50 lbs lost. Many of us go through it and if they say they don't well they aren't being truthful to themselves. I know my first week, I so regretted, I was crying and telling hubby pull it out, pull it out, like it was something from Alien or something, The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't let go of the pains and actually start living again. The pain is temporary, ou have to start living life go back to your routine, minus the foods we all so enjoyed and remember its not about learning restrictions really but learning new healthy habits. Good Luck! -
This Might Be A Stupid Question...
#MagicWithinme replied to Lacey8724's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor waits the 6 weeks and then depending on how your weight loss is going ,and of course how the patient feels, will decide to do a fill. I proudly say I have gone 6 months with NO fill and have managed to lose about 55 lbs. its getting harder , my portions are getting a little bigger but md said as long as Im still losing weight Im ok. We will see in 8 weeks All doctors are different. -
I'm morphing again,,, from Monday to today at nutritionist, I lost almost another lb!.
-
I would start protein drinks again
-
went to lp dr today, lost 7 lbs since last visit, optioned for no fill yet. maybe next time..

its ok to allow ourselves a reward, and our bodies will let us know what it will accept. -
Debilitating Insomnia, Gas, & Pains??? What Is Up With My Body???
#MagicWithinme replied to SashaWLS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was like that in the beginning, 18 weeks out for me, I was told its our body doing major adjusting, The insomnia for me was relieved when I turn certain medicine in the morning versus at night, drank more water at night and malox. The more weight I lost, doctor took me off of one of my meds. Keep track of everything that you feel, and times you take meds, time you eat what you eat. how much time after when you go bathroom, and let dr know, mae you will see a a pattern. good luck -
Only you can change the messages on those tapes...it just takes some practice! I agree

Today Is A Struggle...
#MagicWithinme replied to alisonmagill's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Everyday will be a "struggle/choice" for those who have opted for surgical assistance with food. I am out 16 weeks and Im having more better days than bad. Remember to be consistent with food choices. I recently took some days off, and boy was I not ready for them. It seems to be easier to be at work, and eat on schedule than at home. I have to go back to work to get my diet back on schedule good luck~ -
Why Protein Powder?
#MagicWithinme replied to IL_MissKitty's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do the same thing, sometimes I can't eat in the am, boiled egg, or piece of waffle with Peanut Butter on it. but a shake with 1/2 banana will fill me. I use whey protein 50 grms of protein per scoop. Rite Aid stores also care GNC with a surprisingly large variety of shake selections. Which is great for me the GNC store is out of town and would have to make special trips. -
oww.. please let us know how things turn out!

What Do You Wish You'd Known?
#MagicWithinme replied to sissy12's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There is another post with same subject, sorry don't remember which one it is research research research! I found out so much after the fact (and I lived on this site) . Make sure all your questions are answered. start taking Calcium , so the hair loss isn't as bad. ( I was taking a daily vitamin) but it is recommended to take calcium tablets. (this is for some, not all suffer hair loss) and it will grow back. Good luck~ -
Thats great, just don't forget to give yourself more time to get to bathroom, first few times for me , I almost didn't make it to bathroom , my hands fumbling at my pants buttons like it was a fire I was trying to put out!, now as soon as I get an urge, I head to the bathroom, Keep going!

"Father, I recognize my body as Your temple. Forgive me for the times when I do not care for it in a way that honors and pleases You. Give me the strength to eat right, exercise and learn to rest. I have given You my heart. I now give You my body. Glorify Yourself in and through me, Lord." ~ Mary Southerland
