Finally hit the gym and feel great. How is everyone else doing?

It feels so good to be moving. But man! I am out of shape!

I'm trying to go back today but I'm nervous because I also had a hernia repair. Afraid of over doing it.

Has everyone joined the secret Facebook group for Feb2016 surgeries?

I would like to join.

Today has been an off day. Haven't been able to keep anything down. Only thing I have ate is the Protein and less than half an egg which is weird since I can always finish the egg. Anyone has days like this?

I was sleeved 2/23 and am down 10lbs as of yesterday. Anyone else get their period soon after? I got mine 2 days after surgery and I think im bloated. Eek.

Yea I got mines a few days after which was weird cuz I want due

I haven't lost weight in 2 weeks. I'm so frustrated

I know the feeling. But remember that you are still recovering and healing and adapting.

My doctor reminded me of of something. When we don't get enough Water with our new tummy our body will retain the Water we do consum because it thinks you are starving yourself and dehydrating.

So be patient with your new tummy and your new brain.

Trust me... I struggle with wanting new results every day. I also struggle with wanting to be healed and wanting something normal...day by day...pound by pound.

We will get there!

I'm so trying. Thank you. ️

Haha me too. But little by little we can do it.

Hi everyone, how are you all doing with your weight loss and eating new foods? Since the day I walked into my surgeon's office I've lost about 22lbs but 17 since the surgery. I just starting eating blended, mashed foods this week and I guess I'm doing ok. I have noticed with certain foods that I get an uncomfortable pain in my chest (probably esophagus). Have you all experienced this? I'm hoping this will go away. .....soon.:/

I experienced the same. My dr says that that's my body telling me I'm not ready for that food. Just eat that food another week or so and try again.

Congrats.

How is everyone's weight loss going. ? I am losing slowly now which is discouraging but hope it picks up again.

3 lbs down from last week. I only weigh in on Monday mornings. I have to send the numbers to my doctor so I decided I would only weigh when I need to do it for him so that I wouldn't drive myself nuts.

Yea I'm doing it weekly because I would do it everyday and I found that when I didn't see weight loss, I would get discouraged. But with weekly is better. Keep up the good work.

I am almost 4 weeks out and can only eat 300-450 calories a day.

How does this work? Do just monitor the calories? Does your Dr give a meal plan? Are you able to eat from a list of food choices? This sounds challenging.

My NUT and DR gave me a list of stage 2 foods for purée. What I do is put a timer on my phone so every 3 hours I will eat something. I can't eat much. So I either take my time and eat whatever I puréed which can take 2 hours to finish or just eat two or three bites till I'm full. I use the Fitbit app that tracks what calories and foods I am taking in. Is not challenging you just have to get used to it and remember you can't eat like you used too. I have yet to try tuna I'm not fish person but other than that I am able to eat anything that is soft enough for me.

Hi those of you that have started the blended pureed food already. I get to start this Sunday. I was wondering. ...I know I can have scrambled eggs but do you have to put them in the blender too? How have you all been eating your eggs?

I have them regular. No need to puréed them. Just be sure to take small bites and chew and that they are super soft. You should be fine.

I am almost 4 weeks out and can only eat 300-450 calories a day.

You should also try the chewable . Most of them are pretty tasty.

Those who started purée how quickly do you get full. I take two bites and feel like I ate a horse. Anyone experiencing the same. ??

I had intermittent back paint POD4. It can by Protein intake that isn't supplemented well enough with Water, excessive gas production, or simple muscle fatigue. Mine was due to the excess gas buildup that went away after Gas-x.

Have you been working out or done anything that could've strained your back? Is your Water intake adequate? Have you tried gas-x/Beano?

Haven't been working out just walking. I was told it could be gas build up but it starting to get uncomfortable after like 20 minutes standing up I have to sit down. I will have to try that gas-x. I drink plenty of water not enough Protein yet so maybe that's it.

Thanks for your help

My best friend post op has been a heating pad or the kind you heat in the microwave. Being in that hospital bed for 2 days did my back no favors so once I was home all I did was put heat on my back and it feels so much better. I also feel that relaxing my muscles helped to move the gas also.

Good luck!

I'll try the heating pads.

Thanks.

I'm almost 3 weeks post op. Does anyone experience back pain if standing for too long?

This is the worst day for fluids. .. I've only had 16 oz... and 6oz of chicken btoth. 10 Oz Protein Shake. ????

Don't feel discouraged. One step at a time. You have many more days to try again. ☺️

I have never been so happy to eat egg lol hope everyone is doing great. And happy Valentine's Day.

When do you guys start having purée foods. I am finally able to come Monday and I'm excited lol

I already get puree. I get soft foods starting this weekend. Which I don't really understand. I have been told to stay away from carbs but some of the soft foods they list are Mac n cheese & oatmeal. ????

I was told soft oatmeal is fine but never heard of Mac and cheese. Every doctor is different I guess. Hope you enjoy ☺️

I'm scared????... don't want to introduce carbs back yet. I went through carb withdrawals and that wasn't cute. I felt horrible. ???? And there isn't enough fiber in our diets to support that quantity of cheese. ????????

Yea. Don't try anything ur not comfortable with is my advice.

Soft foods? I am "allowed" but that doesn't mean that I can. ???????? Just focusing on getting in all the liquids & and a few bites of things here and there and then my tummy HATES me....and not being successful at hitting 64oz. BUT, Each day is a new day...sick of saying that to myself, but...what ev, keep trying.

Yah found out today I'm dehydrated. Need more liquids even though all I have are liquids.

Try caring a big water bottle around with u at all times. This is how I remember to drink plenty of Water.
