    OMG October 2013 Post-ops

    Great to see that there are people active on "our" forum. Don't look at that small number...think about how you have come. Part of those 20-30lbs are excess skin. I am guilty for not eating the most nutritious options. Seem to go for what goes down the easiest. Other than the last lbs - how you doing?

    Team October 28th surgeries

    Hi fellow 28ths Looking very to my anniversary follow up with my surgeon. Lost 73lbs to date. Not always as diligent as I should be and SO bad with water. This week is eat more greensand drink more water week. Hope to see a difference. Still have regurgitation but think I get excited about what's on my plate and eat too fast. Definitely get mild dumping so conscience of that. How you all doing?
  3. All those on the 28th count down with me... 6 more sleeps!!! I will most likely be the first in and first out as I am in Australia. What is the best advice you have been given through these forums?

    Feeling the same way AutumnPunkin...been hovering 172 now for about 6 weeks. Drs estimation for 1 year was 165 ( still 2 months to achieve that), although I would like to be a little lower than that. Still eating small portions which is awesome but not always the right foods. Water is definitely a hurdle for me too. Not because it hurts but just don't enjoy drinking water. Wish someone would share a "booster" to get back up and loosing again.

    Please can you send a pic of the wrapper. Don't think I can get these in Australia but would like to see in all health stores.

    Not doing so good?

    Lucii, I am almost 10 weeks and every now and then I vomit both lunch and dinner up. Just thought I wasn't chewing properly or eating too fast. Please keep me posted on what your Dr suggests.

    The Slow Losers Thread

    Sure you can...started at 225lb. We are definitely sailing on the same boat. Let me know how you go on Monday. PS already Sunday here in Australia

    The Slow Losers Thread

    Here to join the "party". Seeing my Nut on Monday. First time since surgery - 7 weeks ago. Hoping she is happy with my progress. Only 13lb since then but when you look at it as a average of almost 2lb a week it is not half bad. I've been told in the past that one should not loose more that 10% of total body weight in a week for a healthy weight loss. Guess that's without surgery though?!?!?

    Anyone experiencing back pain after eating? Still on purée/soft foods and after eating very small portions my back aches like crazy. Almost crippling. My GP said the lower back and oesophagus have the same nerve endings and hence the pain. Suggestions?

    OMG October 2013 Post-ops

    I love hearing all your stories. 3 weeks post op yesterday. All going well. Have lost a total of 24lb including pre-op diet. Had a couple of days stall but happy that the scale is still moving. Best feeling is not ever having to see the big numbers on the scale again. Not sure that I can clearly differentiate between puree and softs to the degree that I should. But seem to be doing well otherwise. Reminder to self...water...water...water. Gulity not drinking enough. Since Sunday I have had a sharp pain in my left side. Heading to the GP for an "check it out" after work today as my next surgeon appointment is not for another 2.5 weeks. Boobs are definitely shrinking. Amazing feeling to start donating or chucking the big clothes away.

    We have a health store around the corner that makes fresh chucky soups. I purchased 2 - one with beans and another with chicken (both veg based) and completely liquidised them. Best thing ever. Exciting taste and still liquid enough a week post surgery.

    Hear you on the breathing pain. My surgeon said walking will def help as you need to breathe deeper when exercising. Meds are gross but serve their purpose but when you get home you can take another soluble pain med.

    You will definitely not have as much energy. You are on a low kj/cal diet to shrink the liver. Think out the fact that this is for the best and come Tuesday it will all be worth it. I got headaches at the start and by the last couple of days I just went on a go slow. Good luck!
