2 days until liquid diet
briefs199 replied to susancae's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think I was more nervous about the liquid diet than the surgery itself. It was like an alcoholic knowing she had to go to rehab in a few days. -
Delaying fill or no fill

Thanks for your replies. I guess I will find out what my surgeon's office's theory is next Wednesday! -
Ldimples I totally get that! When I get sick and don't feel well I get incredibly depressed and basically have a pity party. Im fighting a cold right now and feel like that! Rest assured in a few days you will feel incredibly better so in the meantime take very good care of yourself and let everyone else take care of themselves.
-
Are you depressed because you can't eat or eat like you used to? I'm happy that I'm less interested in food. It sort of ruled my life.
-
Amponder Congrats. Hope you have a smooth recovery.

Find out from your insurance company if there are certain hospitals you need to use like a Center of Excellence and go to a seminar. No use wasting your time with a surgeon that your insurance will not pay for

I always had this question. Conventional wisdom says not to eat so few calories or you won't lose weight. So why do people with WLS lose weight on less than 1000 calories? I have MFP set to 1000 calories and except for yesterday, have not gone above that threshold and I'm losing weight consistently. I did ask my surgeon about this months ago but can't remember his answer.

Mine took about 2 weeks tongi away and at the end of those 2 weeks it was the worst. Then poof! It was gone the next day. I walked and walked and still got it. In fact almost 3 weeks out ingot some shoulder pain while driving today. -
I gained 3lbs also post op but it was gone in 3 days.

Sorry about your dog! That is devastating. Wow you are doing some good eating. Keep up all that protein! -
I look forward to this. I am so sick of being sweaty when it's 15 out and I'm coming out of the subway all sweaty. Forget about the summer!!!!

Tomorrow is the big day and now I'm getting nervous...
briefs199 replied to igotthis98's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

A friend from work wanted to go eat pizza for lunch. I know, seriously? So obv I could not eat that. But I thought about it and said I will find something to eat there...and I did! A meatball hero parmigiana, hold the bread. I asked for it it be given to me in a to go plate and ate 1.5 meatballs slowly and enjoyed it thoroughly. I packed up the rest and will be eating it tomorrow for lunch.

First time eating out
briefs199 replied to briefs199's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Right now that amount was enough to satisfy me. But im sure that any restriction I feel is from swelling. I'm only a little over 2 weeks out -
The dude How are you doing now???
-
Weight watchers? Why do insurance companies ask these questions? It's really so stupid. As if you would gain all this weight and never once try to diet and then say Let me have surgery!!!
-
2 weeks before my pre op diet began I ate myself sick. I would make nachos every night for a week and drink a bottle of wine myself. By the time I was doing the pre op I was completely sick of eating.
-
Congrats!!!!

To be desired again

Go walking GET IT GIRL!!!! -
Keeper First night I was in the hospital so wait a little while more and you should feel better. Keep us updated
-
I hear the hernia repair can make the recovery a little longer. Hang in there. Good thing you have a babysitter. I did the same thing. Kids didn't even notice! Can you get an ice pop or freeze some protein shakes?
-
Meatloaf muffins. Just made them tonight. About 10 g of protein each. I like that they are portion controlled. I need that
-
Mine is empty as well. The resident originally told me there would be 2ccs but found out it's empty. I feel satisfied after a half cup but probably from post op swelling. First fill 12/3
