Two years out and what I wish I had done differently immediately post op
Cheer Mama posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
HI! I look back on my post op experience and my biggest regret is that I got off of the liquid diet too soon. I followed my doctors advice and followed the post op plan, I just wish I had gone even a few more weeks or even a month on pure liquids. I look back and that is when I lost almost all of the weight. I haven't been able to replicate that loss since then. I still have another 20-30 lbs I really want to lose. Post op liquids is also the hardest time. It was like going through withdrawal! haha I thought it was horrible and damn near excruciating to be cut off from solid food, it really wasn't all that bad in hindsight. I wish I had embraced that feeling. Good luck to all! -

I have been at the same weight now for 8 months. I was just put on a 600-800 calorie restriction. I'm on day 2. I didn't think I would start to loose again so quickly, but I am. This makes it soooo much easier to pass up the pigs in a blanket I made for my family.

Congrats! I've only lost 60..... Great job!

I have been so stressed lately that I think it has actually caused me to have a second period this month! Geez, hasn't this school year been bad enough? But now, my body goes and decides to have another period, stress eating, pimples and all..... I think it might be time for much stronger mood meds.... ugh! Ohhhh, I think I need to ask for Xanax. yep! That's what I want! )

REGRETTING.....
Cheer Mama replied to NeuroSurgNurse's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
oh, my! it IS worth it! I promise! I hope you will soon find a way to keep stuff down. Call your doc again and again till you get to keep your liquids down. You may very well need to get an IV for dehydration. Water is hard to drink for many. sometimes I could only do some watered down crystal light.... good luck! -

I couldn't sleep on side, stomach OR flat on my back for 3 weeks. But I also had an umbilical hernia. Now THAT thing hurt! -
Yep! I wasn't even in my bed till 3 weeks out and then it still hurt to lay in bed for another 2 weeks.....

protein shakes..... how long?
Cheer Mama replied to Joanna Ortallono's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm in my 3rd month and I use them to up my protein when I can't eat enough. But it is a supplement since I need to eat real food as much as possible. -
ARGH! Ready to meet doctor but not until i lose weight

When it is really bothering you, Ladies, call your doctor and talk to someone. -
how many times have you all heard thhis?
Cheer Mama replied to marfar7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I couldn't stand canned soups. I got the flavor packets outta the ramen noodle packages and just used those. I added non-flavored Protein when the liquid had cooled enough. I was given extra time on liquids because of a hiatal hernia repair. I almost cried! But remember, this is a very short amount of time in the whole scheme of things.... Your journey is just beginning. You may also be hungry because of not enough protein. Try adding non-flavored protein to your soups. But it might also be stomach acid. I have had a big problem with the acid and have had to double up on the prescription that was given me. But when the acid is high, I so seriously want to eat everything in sight, even though I can only have a bite. :0) Good LUCK!
