That makes sense lorilove and sure hope it's true.. My surgery was last Wednesday and I can't eat much at all and really have zero desire for food.. Could care less it is the strangest thing ever..

nevadapinkprincess reacted to lorilove in Low BMI and Gastric Sleeve July 13, 2015

Statistically, the lower your bmi prior to surgery, the more "successfully" you will maintain your weight loss. I am a week and a couple days out and I think to gain back it would take serious effort because it is not easy to eat a lot. People with higher bmis may be dealing with more food issues and they are counted in the whole count of success rates. Don't forget that. You will be fine. Stick to Protein first and keep aware you don't want to regain. Use the time before surgery to process the level you are going for this and cling to this so you don't forget later. That's my unprofessional approach, for what it's worth.

How are all the July post-ops doing? I had my bypass on July 7th and am doing well. Still getting use to a couple of small bites and I'm full :-)
For all the pre-ops coming up, Good Luck!!! It really isn't bad, I know I worried a lot for nothing.

So happy for you Mary!!! Glad you advocated for yourself and knew things felt beyond the "norm". Good info.

I had my surgery Thursday and today is Sunday and am flying home. I'm glad to report that I feel great and am not worried about the flights at all. The first couple days were terrible. I had very bad pain in my shoulder and chest when I awoke. The nurses kept telling me that it was normal, but I had read enough of these posts that I knew it was not normal to be in so much pain. On Friday I was crying from the pain, then in agony from the nausea when they gave me more pain medicine. Finally, the doctor surmised that mydrain was pinching a nerve and agreed to remove my drain a day early. Wow! It was like night and day. Since then, I have had a pretty easy time. Drinking is fine, I have had no nausea or pain, and I feel like this is already a great decision. So happy to be going home and feeling great!
Mary

Everything good here! I have moved on to mashed/ puréed foods, have lost 30 lb, and feel pretty normal. This whole thing has been easy... Though, I think I am starting to feel hunger. Wasn't expecting that, at least not yet.

Hey polar gonna try mashed today.... I've been good lost about 30 lbs as well... But it looks like things are starting to slow down now so I'm only gonna weigh my self once a week.... Gonna increase my walking time as well and see if that helps......

nevadapinkprincess reacted to rnsamantha in June 24th Peeps chime in! July 9, 2015

I've lost almost 30 since the start of my preop diet 1month ago), about 10 since surgery. Started mashed foods yesterday with a scrambled egg and it didn't go well (vomited). Tilapia went better last night, but I can only eat about an ounce of solids. No other issues here!

My surgery was June 23rd. I'm still on full liquids. My surgeon is a little stricter on the stages of post op liquids/foods. I'm feeling great. No problems getting in all my liquids, plus some. No nausea at all (not even once).
I've lost a total of 28 pounds since the pre-surgery requirements began (a total of 9 since surgery).
I get to start on soft foods in 3 days, but who's counting, right? LOL
