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 -
Pre Op Question - Needing Some Feedback Please
SD Chick replied to AzGirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also would veto walking and picking up your son - my Dr. wouldn't let me drive when I was taking any pain meds at all - I waited about a week but even after 3 weeks I wouldn't want to drive more than a couple of hours. -
Surgery 3/23 and not feeling so good
jujuvee replied to kathyv's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
kathy V have you dressed up your protein drinks to make them a bit tastier? I know they are all sweet options but you can add stuff like sugar free instant pudding mixes to play with the flavor and different crystal light powders as well. I was banded on the 24th and have a big selection in my phase 1 (days 2-14) that I can have but I am keeping it simple for this week, here is what I have been having. B- 2 oz cream of wheat, with a touch of brown sugar S-protein drink with vanilla protein powder, banana pudding powder, blended with ice L- 2 oz unsweetened applesauce S- another protein drink, this one with protein powder(vanilla) and the orange crystal light D- 2 oz cream of chicken soup I can have refried beans, cottage cheese and a softly scrambled egg, but I am going to wait until I am a week in to introduce those. Good luck and feel free to write anytime. -
I didn't like any thing hot so I drank protine shakes and water first week!!

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?

Hi Jskelly. I was having the same problem. I called my nurse and they had me switch from non-fat milk to almond milk. They say I am most likely intolerant now. I had a really difficult time with eating post surgery. So I tried so many different things. Sugar free pudding, soup, popsicles. Split pea is what I lived on for the first 2 weeks. I just started the squishy stage and things seem to be ok so far. I just c as not tell if I'm full or not and it scares me to eat. I did learn that getting the hiccups is a way of your body telling me to stop eating. I wish you luck. It does get easier. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

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

For the ladies - bra advise!
Kittymom replied to BexRNY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Something I heard just last weekend, in a group I was attending. Is that Victoria Secret will take back a bra as long as you have your receipt Now the lady was telling us that she went to be sized at VS and 3 weeks later she went back to get resized and then is when they told her as long as you have your receipt they will take it back. I'm going to guess that they expect you to purchase another one. It might be worth checking out. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -
I had my EGD on Thursday, along with a colonoscopy (unrelated to surgery), and the entire top/bottom process was no more than 30-40 minutes. No real pain with IV, no burning with deep sedation meds. As the mom of six kiddos, it might have been the best sleep I got all week -- even with a camera wedged in my intestines. I had no pain afterwards, and we left the surgery center for a lunch date at a local Brazilian Churrascaria. Because of the sedation meds, I didn't drive at all that day, but I was otherwise my insanely busy self.

I just got the word today, my surg is scheduled for April 1st..That's only 6 days before my classes start back. I think I should be ok. Anyone else having surg in April??? My doc wants me on SugarBuster's 2 weeks prior to surg. How about you?

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". -
Feeling weak and tired?
wonderwoman75 replied to wonderwoman75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take my vitamins and my protein I even exercise three to four times a week. It just was weird. I felt really weak. -
I am approved!

Thanks everyone. I meant first week in December. Excited -
Everyone is different. I couldn't drive for 2 weeks due to fatigue.

I'm sure there are others who know way more than me but here's some that I found to be good. Fish- Just about any kind although I think cod is up towards the top as far as protein, also calamari is a great source of protein but be careful as it can be chewy and don't get it fried. Cottage cheese- It's basic but gives you good protein Eggs- I usually have them scrambled or boiled Hamburger- Make sure you get the extra lean type Those are some of my big ones. Hope this helps you. For the first few weeks it will probably be hard to get enough protein without powders and supplements but once you get to mushies and regular food it gets much easier. Make sure you follow your doctors guidelines no matter what as some of these foods you wont be able to have for several weeks. Good luck!! Christy

thank you! I know it will get better, but I can't picture having this pain for 3 weeks since im only 5 days post op! I wish they had something for pulled muscles
-
I haven't weighed myself, im only 5 days post op, I will wait until I go to my 2week visit. I feel if I lose 25lbs in 3 Weeks I would jumping with joy. I would be so worried if I were you. Stress doesn't help losing lbs. Sent from my DROID RAZR using LapBandTalk

Anthem blue cross
thisfathasgot2go replied to halalo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My daughter is going through the process. She is going with Dr. Feiz and was given a surgery date of November 18. She just met with her PCP today and has blood work tomorrow. She has had phone appointments with a psychologist and dietician. She has to get an EGD on November 16. I am not sure about Anthem's response for approval, but I think they are submitting this week after the blood work is processed, but Dr. Feiz seems to think the six months not apply in CA. My daughter has a BMI of 41.
