Concerned05 replied to dalysm86's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
So I am 5 days post op and worried to death bc I am not getting my ozs in for daily intake and protein. I feel full ALL the time. Should I stop or keep trying to get it in. -
Today was a really bad day for me... the past couple of weeks I've had been on a pretty good eating diet. No soda at all... nit really any sweets... I eat almost 6 times a day... but has anyone got sick while starting there diet.... I've had the worse headache all day. It was so bad I got really nausea... mind everyone I'm on heavy medicine so I really don't like to take anymore then what I'm plus I really don't like medicine... so it took me almost 8 hours to finally take something it was so bad... would I have got this because I cut off the caffeine of soda that I would usually drinks or bc I used to cut off my snacking that I used to do? Any ideas on what I should do...

Did any of you have food funerals prior to starting your preop diet?
RJ'S/beginning replied to A_ReNUDE_me's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Look at the 3 of you...so good!..I was on the pre-op diet twice and they cancelled my surgery the first time because someone had an emergency...So I spent 2 horrible weeks drinking this Protein slime for nothing...Before I started that pre op they told me to leave the hospital and pick up the slime on my way out...I did that..And I started right away with no cheats.. When I found out I was rescheduled for the 2nd time I thought about it and decided that I would eat what I wanted until the 2 weeks came up again...I lost 27 lbs..the first 2 weeks and after, ate what I wanted and felt that it was a good decision for me personally....the second time I lost 1 lb. more.....The only regret I have is that I now know a year later that there is no food that you cannot eat. Food in a limited space but non the less food.... When after all was said and done and I was over 6 months with out eating anything..I was pleased as punch that I had my funeral...Would not recommend it to anyone...But for me it was a good memory that took me through a loss of 95 lbs. to follow....while in the hospital being fed on a tube. No excuses just did not see it like others do..By the way...6 months without eating really detoxes a body...So there was a big nothing going on for me..I had to learn to eat again..They actually had to teach me how to swallow and move food around my mouth....I thought about the good old days and even though I would never want to ever do that again..For me it was good stuff...... -
Any October 2021 Surgeries?
Breanne (w 2 pups) replied to devotion's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hey all! I’m three weeks post op today from bypass. I’ve been very lucky with easily getting down the required liquids and my small blended meals. I’m suddenly struggling with food obsession again. I was okay the first while bc I knew I couldn’t, but now I’m trying actual food and really want the “bad” food. I want pizza and creamy pastas and the chocolate. I’ve held off so far, but have been creeping over the calories. It doesn’t help that I’m not losing much weight. “Only” 5 lbs in the last two weeks. I think the amount of free time isn’t helping. I’m still off work and most of my friends/family are busy this time of year. Any suggestions? -

I am also 5 days post op and am experiencing the same thing. I had band and plication and wasnt sure if my stomach was cramping/ digesting/ or I was hungry but I think I have figured out that I am getting pretty hungry and it hurts when my stomach rumbles/growls. I am trying to "eat" every 3-4 hours to help this by trying to get 4 shakes and then soup in the middle of afternoon/night if needed. I think it is odd bc I feel like i was less hungry on the 2 week pre op diet when I was on shakes only for 7 days and the pain of hunger feels worse now. I hope this gets better!

Yeah don't listen to people who tell you to stop losing weight. I can see if you were in mid onederland or something but 300 lbs. Yeah it's bizarre that they'd say that. Plain and simple they are full of it and just want to keep you from succeeding either that or they're being phony. I'm relatively new to the weight loss surgery game but I think life has a messed up way of trying to bring you down when you're winning and people can be down right evil. Just ignore them or make them feel stupid if it annoys you that much but you keep going toward your goal and don't let anyone's bs hold you back. Do not listen to them I don't think they have good intentions. I think they're just trying to throw wrenches in your plan.

Y’all... day 3 of this liquid bs, stinks! I really was okay with it until today... sorry- just venting! 🙄
-
This. I fit this pattern to a T. I am 14 months out. I'm working out hard, tracking calories, and have dropped into the 4-5 bs a month range. The fast loss is only at the very beginning for most people, and will slow down. You will have stalls and it will be frustrating unless you are someone very lucky. This is a long game, not a quick fix by any means.

Today marks two weeks post op for me and I feel pretty good...I actually have to force myself to sit down bc I'm doing to much Hw:334 Sw:318 Dos:305 Cw:282 Down 23.5 since surgery and since the start of this journey down 36lbs!!!

Just what do you get for a "program Fee"? I have BCBS Fed and didnt have to have any supervised dieting. Only 5 more days of no real food, I am completely miserable.

That is fantastic! I have federal BC/BS and have all of my pre-approval requirements into the surgeon's office. The insurance coordinator seems to be on the ball and I'm hoping for a surgery date soon. My BMI qualifies me and I seem fortunate that they only require 3 months of diet and exercise documentation from my family physician.

I have been unfilled for the past few weeks, and I miss it. The band made every bite hurt, but I wasn't hungry. My DH says he is going to knock me in the head. I have until next weekend to decide if I am going to do the RnY, and I am scared. I don't want to do it. I have heard all kinds of horrible stories about it, and I don't want to die, wear carbon filters in my underwear, or never eat sweets again (in any amount). A coworker had it done a few months ago and she looks great, losing 70lbs in 4 months, but what if it does not work for me? You can't just revise that one, remove the device, or go back. My hubby says that if the insurance will pay for it, that means I am screwed anyway, so I need to do it. (We have BC/BS, so he is right, they don't pay for anything.) My PCP says the same thing, and she wants me to do it. I emailed Dr. C and he said that he would remove it and convert. If it is in the wrong place it can do damage even unfilled. I feel like such a failure. Please tell me again, if it were you, what would you do? I know you can't tell me what to do, but I want to know your honest opinions. You have been going thru the same fight the past year as I have, but if you were told what I have been told what would you think/do?

As soon as I started my pre op diet and even after with the post op with the protein drinks I had stomach issues. I think it was all the protein and lack of other stuff like fiber that made things so "watery" Sorry It's gross. But as soon as I stopped the protein shakes the loose poop stopped too. It got so bad once I was just crying. That was after surgery and I was pretty fed up with all liquids going in and all liquids coming out. nothing really helped until I started eating real food again,

March 8,9,10 &11: One annoying habit I would like to break is reading 15267477948473383384 books at the same time. Its just that there are sooo many good ones and life seems so short so I want to read as much as I can while I can Advice I'd give myself a year ago today is enjoy that trip thoroughly. Stop whining about the frigid weather, buy another scarf and socks, keep walking. I'm good at recognizing my own bs and calling myself on it. I really like my shoulders at the moment because everything else is trying to hurt my feelings... Lol plastics here I come 😂

What you should know about WLS they don't tell you
BlondePatriotInCDA replied to BlondePatriotInCDA's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
That's where I feel a lot in of my weakness - my hands and I turn 60 Thursday! Its my arms and hands (duh! They're dependent on each other 😆). That's what I was referring to in my OP... I have a hard time opening things I never had issues with before surgery. I shouldn't think its age related when I had no issues 9 months ago BS (before surgery), I opened things my husband had issues with sometimes - though if you were to ask him..he "loosened it for me!" -
Thoughts on Dr. Almanza
sobiato replied to Tiny2019's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
not a hater, but i was scheduled with Dr. Almanza for Jan 11, 2013, but I decided to go with another doctor Sergio Quiones only bc Dr. Almana performs like 12 surgeries a day, you sit and wait your turn, he starts with the lowest bmi and works his way to the highest, it was just to impersonal for me. -
April 2014 RNY/Bypass Post Op Support
soon2Bscandalous replied to Amyllf2's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I have lost around 43, but then I fluctuate and will go up 3 lbs the next day. Of course I'm still weighing everyday. I am also having a hard time understanding my hunger bc I will get hunger pains right after I eat. -
Feel like a failure :(
Kami63 replied to JessicaAnn's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It gets better. It is actually liberating when you get to day 7 or so. I was like this is amazing that I am doing this! I cheated day two with 2crackers bc I thought I would throw up but after that I haven't cheated. I am on day 9. Good luck -
It's funny how each dr is different. I was sleeved on the 3rd and have been on liquids. I am allowed to start soft solids on Sat (which cannot come fast enough bc hunger pangs are killing me).

I Can't Wait To Not Have To...
Ima Loser replied to BrickHouse's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't wait to not have to... ...use a beach towel after a shower bc the reg towel doesnt fully cover me ...walk out of a store with nothing after trying on clothes for over an hour bc nothing fits rights. ...assume people are talking behind my back. ...make jokes about myself and how fat I am before others get the chance to do it...
