shrusara

I’m in broward county... in plantation!

I had the procedure on September 27th and since then lost around 70 pounds.. but I recently checked my weight and in the past 20 days I gained 5 pounds. I feel my diet has increased and I haven't been exercising. Is it possible to start gaining weight so fast? Or is it just fluctuating? Im really stressed.

I had my surgery 7 weeks ago and in the past 3 weeks I only lost 4 pounds... is this normal? Is there a way I can make it faster? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I dunno what's wrong but since 3 days I cannot eat and drink anything... I feel like throwing up all the time... this morning I threw up. It ntn came out only burping... I'm on my 7th week... I cannot even drink Water... whole day my mouth feels weird and I feel like throwing up ... does anyone know why this is happening? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had he same situation but it's all because of my mother and brother that I'm Able to be positive... I get upset everyday.. everyday there domes a point where I'm super depressed and upset but tbh there is no going back ... even if u regret it there is ntn u can do to change that and u HAVE to move forward... but the choice is urs whether to move forward crying or smiling... I choose smiling ... I know it's a tough thing to say but it's the truth and trust me I fall everyday... it's been 27 days since my surgery and I have already broken down twice so I feel ur pain... plus I'm a foodie and my house has 3 chefs one of them is me... so the kind of food I'm around.. u cannot imagine... that's why I get weak again n again but the fact is no matter how weak I get I cannot change anything so I just have to tough it out and reach my goal weight so I can be back to normal... also I feel sometimes that I was always meant to be a fat person... I feel maybe I was fun being fat and I'll loose my personality if I loose all the weight... I feel I won't be the same funny person anymore but that's something I haven't figured out yet... that I'll figure out with time I guess... be strong darling.. u r not alone .. and I'm glad I'm not alone and I know someone who feels the same way as I do Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

After u vomit did it make u feel better? Or made the pain worst? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

There is a reason the dr puts on a pre op diet... because of being over weight our liver become very bulky because of all the fat we consume... the pre op diet helps u loose the excess fat of oil n any other fats that is stuck in the liver ... when u follow the diet the liver becomes light and does not interrupt the stomach when the dr is trying to get to it during surgery... if u don't follow the diet the liver will remain heavy and the dr will have to physically move it out of he way ... this will not only increase the duration of the surgery and cause extra issues for the dr during the recovery time it will also cause more discomfort and pain cuz the liver will be tampered with.. you have to understand that this is a major surgery and u have to help the dr make it as smooth as possible and want to have a very normal recovery... because at the end of the day after the surgery it's only u who will have the suffer the pain and will later reap the benefits... I had to learn this for myself and control my food intake because it was the first time I was having any kind of procedure and I wanted to have a normal recovery and didn't want the surgery to be extended more than an hour and a half... I hope I was able to motivate you... I know it's very hard but tbh the hardest part is the first few months... we all just have to be strong...

My first nasty experience after surgery was with nan and chicken. Nan is too chewy and elasticky and I was only a month out. I don't know what I was thinking. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App What happened when u ate naan? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I had my surgery 27/09 this year .. n yes I too love biryani ... I love rice Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How long after u eat do u wait to go to bed? My dr said after eating anything I should not sleep until an hour at least and if I drink even a sip of Water I need to stay up for half n hour before sleeping... I've had severe gerd issues before the surgery so I'm trying to stay away from any refluxes as well... also avoid anything spicy... even if u take any medicine or anything wait for an hour to sleep and since ur having issues right now elevate ur head while sleeping... and have more yogurt ... I had my surgery on 27/09 so I'm still fresh but this is what I used to do when I used to get gerd Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I sent u a private message... have u tried rice? When did u have the surgery and how much weight have lost since then? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App It's so weird but I don't know anyone who is Indian and has done this .. I was hoping maybe through this forum I'll find but I couldn't ... but I'm so glad u know a lot about Indian food and the culture Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just wanted to know when can u start eating normal Indian food like roti and dal n all... and I eat a lot of chilli so I'm craving spicy stuff a lot Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

All my life Hun... I'm from an Indian family and even though my parents and family is very liberal and open minded my extended family back in India Is extremely judgemental ... all they care about is being skinny.. no one in India ever bothered to ask me how I am and what I do for a living.. all they ever asked me is how much weight I have lost... and they treat skinny people much more nicely than they treat fat people... I cannot even begin to explain how much I've suffered in life and how many taunts and comments I have got all my life... I got sleeved 3 weeks ago and I am hoping that all this is going to change... I plan on going to India once all my weight is off and then see what the haters r gonna say!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It totally depends on u... I tried going back to school 2 weeks after surgery and I couldn't do it... I didn't get time to drink Water all day and the next day I felt so ill because I was getting constant head spins... I decided to take a break from school until I know how to use the sleeve properly ... also it's been 3 weeks since my surgery and today I have extreme stomach pain... so everyday u will feel different... of all depends on ur body Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I feel there are always signs of a bad surgeon/dr... the dr I initially saw for the surgery seemed very rude and money minded but I still decided to do the surgery with him cuz I had an issue with the date of surgery and he agreed to do it on a short notice but 3 days before the surgery I felt I'm not comfortable with him and decided to cancel my surgery if I can't find another surgeon.. luckily I called the most reliable Bariatric surgeon in Miami and he said he can do the surgery on the same date... and the dr who performed my surgery is truely an amazing dr... after my surgery I told my friend about the initial surgeon and she told me he had lot of bad reviews and has very bad reputation and his patients have suffered a lot ... I thanked god that last minute I made the right decision to change the surgeon.... when it comes to ur body and health never compromise .. if u get a feeling that u r not comfortable with the dr change... even if it's last minute and ur already in the hospital and ready for surgery walk out !! I hope u get well soon... maybe see another surgeon and ask him to take a better look Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 16 days post op and have been having extreme pain in my throat.. the pain is so bad that I cannot even sleep or drink Water.. medications are also not helping.. did anyone have this ?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I asked a simple question.. but in return everyone is getting back with such harsh comments and remarks... the reason we all did this is because we love food .. and now cuz everyone is loosing weight u guys hate food that is just tasty n not that nutritional... talk about hypocrisy Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
