How long dis it take to see your stomach go down
msauerbrei replied to shany1567's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My stomach / face is the first place I always lose. Thighs and arms are the slowest to show. Everyone’s body type is different! -
Same happened to me. I dropped 17 lbs in he first twelve days then stalled for a week and actually gained three. Now down 5 in four days.

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
msauerbrei replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’ve been stalled for about 5 days. I’m only 17 days post op. Not worried though I lost 17 lbs in those first 12 days so I’m just sticking to plan, focusing on protein and fluids, and being patient -
Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
msauerbrei replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m stalled right now too but I’m two weeks out. Have you been exercising? Walking? Drinking enough? -
I’m 12 days post op. Should I be worrying about calorie intake yet? I’m averaging about 200 calories a day and physically cannot manage more. Should I be concerned? Do I not need to worry yet?
-
I got to about 499 calories today. That was adding some cheese to every meal.
-
The hair loss is a result of the rapid weight loss. The protein helps a bit but unless you’re losing really slow it’s inevitable.
-
Are you not on puréed yets? My doctor cleared me For puréed diet at one week. I drink one shake a day split up over three meals. I can do more than 4 oz of liquid at a time.
-
Definitely not getting enough protein. My NUT did tell me not to stress about that until 8 weeks post op though. I get like 25g of protein on a good day.

Me!!!! I seriously forget and my vitamin requires three times a day 😩

His comments were definitely sexist but the intent behind them - that your lifting routine (high weights low reps) is for building big muscles isn’t wrong. He could have went about explaining it a different way. He’s also not wrong that cardio is of vital importance as well. When I slack on my cardio and only focus on weights I stall big time.

Labrada is my favorite - pricier than premier though. Also bigger bottles so post-op they last an extra meal.

Caffeine is acidic. When your stomach is healing you shouldn’t be adding anything to increase the. Acidity, heartburn, etc...
-
My NUT told me not to even attempt the 900-1200 until about 9 months. Before that she said it’s hard if I’m eating the right foods. My plan has a lot of restrictions long term though.
-
Thanks all for your personal choices with returning. Gave me a good range of what to expect. I went to the building Monday to hang some bulletin board stuff and after a couple hours I was exhausted. I’m hoping I can just power through and nap when I get home.

I’m a teacher that is supposed to start September 4th. I just had surgery on the 23rd. I’m torn whether I should take a couple extra weeks off or suck it up and go in. I know it’s only day 3 but I feel like garbage and it’s hard to keep anything down. When did everyone go back to work?
-
3 days post op, could eat a horse.

I’ve had zero appetite since surgery on the 23rd. Down 12 pounds since surgery drinking all clear liquids. -
Intermittent Fasting
msauerbrei replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I’ve done intermittent fasting before and it always has great results for me. I think what a lot of people forget is it’s not a free for all in the 8 hours you eat. You still need to follow a strict caloric guideline or there’s no point. -
How many have lost more than the average?
msauerbrei replied to Separ1418's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I don’t think it’s impossible. Those stats are just saying without trying very hard just the procedure will help you lose this percentage. After the 18 months you’re going to have to work hard to take the rest off. -
Thanks all! I know it’s entirely personal how I will feel by then. But I dread missing the first days of school and having to jump back in when they’ve been working with a sub. I know I’ll need to take a day off for a follow up appointment but that’s unavoidable sometimes

Had my sleeve done yesterday. Pain has been really tough and I can’t keep anything but water down right now. Jello, tea make me feel nauseous

August 2018 sleeve surgery!!
msauerbrei replied to susunorm's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
August 23rd is my date! -
You say you offended that people assume you believe in the impossible or whatever but you’re just showing that you feel like your above people who believe in god. No you didn’t say it but your word choice is poor and offensive to those who do believe.
-
Whether you believe or not that’s how they choose to send their good wishes and intentions. I think it’s rude to want to micromanage how someone wants to send good intentions your way. Say thank you and keep it moving.
