Surgery Date after Insurance Approval
Butterfly66 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am anticipating insurance approval in the next week. How long after approval was your surgery scheduled? I have already started my two week liquid diet in anticipation so that should speed up the process. Just curious. Thanks. Christi -

Hi I was banded on the 30th may 2012 and feel a lot better than I thought I would. Looking forward to purée food this week. -

Not lose?? That would be wonderful... I gain... like 10 lbs. It goes away after, but still... it sucks!! Anyways, yes, it is completely normal. It also sometimes affects my weight the week before as well. -
Yeah, I read somewhere that since your hormones go on break for that week, it's harder to see weight loss. But as soon as they start pumping again around day 4-7 (every woman is different), it should pick back up. I really wish I knew more about the chemical breakdown of hormones in the body and why that happens! Sucks to be a woman sometimes.

I have survived week 1 of the pre OP diet and 1 week to go. I have lost 10 lbs but stalled the last 2 days. I was hoping to lose more weight and go into this with a bang. Still hoping! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

At first, it's the size of a thumb. After gradually adding more food, it's supposed to b the size of a large egg at 6 months. Post-op to 8 weeks 1/4 c food. 2-3 months 1/2 c. 3-6 months 1/2 c-1 c. Molly -
what's the Nioxin shampoo got to do with it and what kind? I know you said Nioxin brand. I take 5000 in Biotin and yes I'm bad about forgetting my multi because it upsets my stomach so I forget to take it. I know I don't get nearly the amount of grams in protein as you mentioned. Just got my hair color/cut/styled Friday and my stylist could tell it was thinned out from 7 weeks ago, she couldn't believe it.

Way to go everyone!! I started my two week pre-op diet today. Hope to be on the losers bench very soon ????????????

With the not being able to eat for a day, were you stressed?? I think that when I'm really stressed I can't eat. A friend of mine that's 3.5 years out told me that when your stressed your stomach contracts. And obviously with a normal sized stomach that's not an issue but with a 1/4 of what we used to have for us it is. I know there's no way to eliminate stress from your life, but it helped me a little knowing why I was struggling to get food down and keep it there. I felt like a baby for the first 3 weeks, liquid and puréed food diet and a 2 hour nap everyday lol. I started to perk up at 4 weeks post op also

Hi Tonya, You have a lot going on right now. I wonder if you switched to Protein shakes for a couple of days if the feeling would go away. I had my gallbladder out in November and tolerate meat just fine. I was eating steaks a few weeks later. Do you think any of this might have to do with anxiety about your surgery? It doesn't seem like a trip to your PCP would hurt anything. I'd tell your surgeon about your gum, but I bed they'd see it anyhow. It's probably in the part of your stomach that will be cut away. I've never heard of gum staying for 5 years. Good luck and I hope you find something that comforts you so you can relax before surgery.

I started using a straw at about three weeks. I find I can sip and get less air with the straw. My surgeon was concerned that using straws will cause air and gas issues. Since I don't have that problem there isn't a concern using a straw. I recommend following your surgeons guidelines until you can talk with him or her about it.

4 weeks! You look Fab!

Pre-op diet has begun
PorkChopExpress replied to mzvanessa's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's a grueling diet, but stay disciplined...there's a time limit on it. In a couple weeks, you won't feel hunger anymore and you'll be just fine! Just remember that now is the time where you start re-training your brain. It's going to take time. -

1/2cup of food
Spiceyfrog replied to sarahbethemails's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't be alarmed, because everyone is different.....but I was only able to eat 1/2 of a scrambled egg and it wasn't until around 12 weeks. I am four months post op and still can only eat 1/2C at a time. Like the previous poster mentioned, most amounts are maximum recommendations. So, just because you are not full (you most likely will not have a "full" feeling because the nerves that were cut in your stomach are not healed), you likely are also not hungry. It does get easier and you experiment and get things figured out, hang in there! -
1/2cup of food
heather5565 replied to sarahbethemails's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 4 weeks gastric bypass and my SUGGESTED diet plan intake amounts for an egg is 1/4-1/2 cup. But the operative word is "suggested." You don't have to eat what the diet plan says. Most likely you may never will. I have not once been able to eat the suggested amount. You have to slow down and really concentrate on what your body is telling you. I stop when all of a sudden I have this overall body "blah" feeling, or when I look at my meal and think "meh, I'm done." Remember your brain has to catch up to your stomach to realize it's full... by that time it could be too late; your stomach could be over full and you might find yourself unwell and/or experiencing dumping syndrome. Good luck and keep working with your tool -
I was banded 6 weeks ago, and had my first fill almost 3 weeks ago. Since my fill I have noticed that every time I eat, no matter what it is, I get gas. It's not uncomfortable, but it's kind of embarassing. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Tomorrow I'll be two weeks out and I'm absolutely exhausted all the time. Mind you I was up late last night election watching but I also took a two hour nap every day this week. How is everyone doing for energy? I'm going to ask my NUT about adding a small morning coffee or green tea. Has anyone had adverse reactions with either this early on? My Multivitamin supposedly has the recommended b12 dosage and I try to walk everyday.... may try swimming tomorrow. I return to work on Monday and am concerned I won't be able to handle it (I work in politics and there are already tons of meetings/strategy sessions scheduled). I'm already mentally and physically drained just thinking about it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Feel your pain. I felt exactly the same last week (two weeks out yesterday). I added back my one regular cup of coffee per day and I think it helped me. I started to feel more normal. Also I tried to make sure to be hitting at least 500-600 cal/day and 60 G Protein plus Water. I feel better this week. Hope you will too. Sent from my iPhone

Banded 4/24/08 - Newbie
*susan* replied to willowcrown's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi and congrats on getting banded. I, as do many bandsters, had the same problem with major constipation. After over a week, I finally took Milk of Magnesia and within an hour things were "moving". -

wonderwoman75 replied to wonderwoman75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
