Make sure u continue to walk it helps relieve the gas which will take like 2 days minimum to stop feeling it. Also walking will prevent blood clots make sure they put those air compressing wraps below the knee on your leg it mimicks muscle movement when u are in bed.

Also wait 15 minutes after you drink to eat which should take a minimum of 30 minutes to eat 4 oz food then wait 1/2 hour before u drink again. -

Stay under 1000 calories, 60 grams carbs, 80 grams protein, minimum fat intake. Drink sugar free fluids preferably water. If you drink caffeine make sure u get over 64 oz fluids. Walk every day. This is all based on day by day, daily. -
Well I'd like to share that when I was talking with my surgeon he did say after 3 more months I can increase my meal size to 5 oz from 4 oz. So that means 3oz of meat like usual but I get to increase my veggies to 2 oz. Very happy about that. I like my veggies. He also mentioned that I should exercise more.

What my doctor says about stalls...
Jayson replied to McButterpants's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm under 4 months myself and your right about the stairs analogy. Yes same as you now I'm off the bp meds and the diabetic meds too. My health has exponentialy gotten better as well. This is a bio physical social behavioral as well as spiritual voyage. -
Also if your not having bowel movements that adds to the weight. Just saying.

Stick to the prescribed diet by the nutritionist make sure you drink plenty of fluids. Water weighs a lot. Your body is adjusting. The loss is not a straight line its more of a staircase shape if your were to graph it. Lose then level off lose again then level off. I think you get the picture.

When I weigh myself in the morning no clothes no fluids it differs by almost 3 lbs mid day because of fluids and food. So which weight do I go by. Morning or during the day?
-
That is so inspiring thank you
-
And I believe that you can put any cut of meat like big chicken cutlets or whatever and the nutrients stay locked into the meat same with the veggies. This is unchartered territory for me so I'm excited and happy.
-
Yeah I ordered one they are relatively inexpensive and it will last years. Ill cook meat and veggies and freeze portions.
-
Well I am having like 4 mugs of coffee a day. I drink a lot of water to stop the dehydration. I mean like other than fluid intake what's the big deal.

10 Days post op... gained 2 pounds?
Jayson replied to Tamosy's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Your body is adjusting Water retention fluctuates the body loses weight daily and sometimes in spurts. It takes at least 6 weeks on average for your body to catch up basicaly the healing process. Everything you described is normal. -
Also when you go for surgery that day they take personal property and lock it up till after the surgery you might have to go to an office with the receipt and request any valuables. They store valuables seperate from your clothes. To avoid this if possible have someone bring your property the next day when you get a room.

Bring a pair of slippers so when you walk around the hallways your feet don't get sore. Hospital socks don't provide enough cushioning.

Do not use any meds not prescribed by your doctor otherwise you can damage your sleeve
-
Stay on your pre op diet we don't want any member to lose course on this. Just think how grateful you'll be once you step through the different food stages. You can and will stay strong. You have all our support you are not alone with this.

Drink plenty of water to help relieve constipation
-
On average 6 weeks to heal
-
Smoking connstricts blood vessels which means parts of the sleeve will never heal appropriately

Surgery is on February 17th!
Jayson replied to Bobbi McGhee's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi no the high blood pressure reading should not affect surgery otherwise they would have wrote a script for that. Put it this way I'm a diabetic and my blood sugar was high the morning of my surgery but they stll did the sleeve that day. -
2 weeks post op....... weight gain?
Jayson replied to joyrokk5's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes your weight will fluctuate I am 3 months post op -
I totally understand your fears because I had a bad experience with anaesthesia when I had surgery on my nose years ago. However I talked to the doctors and they gave me some anaesthesia that knocked me out in under 60 seconds.
