Experiencing My First Stall
catwoman7 replied to Mstlawrence's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
it's the three week stall. Almost everyone goes through that. -
3 weeks post-op Am I doing this right?
Stephanie Stroup McIntosh replied to crayon67's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am 4 weeks post op and have a very similar story. I think the key is that you are noticing when you are satisfied, so you stop eating. A lot of people don't seem to notice that they have had enough until they have had too much. You are doing great! Keep it up! -
So we are not supposed to drink for an hour after eating because the food will get washed through but the band is supposed to help you stay full for three or four hours. My question is: if you drink water an hour after eating does that not wash the food through? So theoretically wouldnt you get hungry soon after washing the food through only an hour after eating? Also, since we chew our food to a liquid like consistency why isn't all food slider food? Just wondering... I'm sure there is something I am missing.

Hi. I am almost three months post out. For the most part I can get my fluids in and my Proteins, but I have had hardly no veggies or fruits. There just isn't room in my tiny tummy. But I've very constipated even with taking colace. Nurse told me today to add Metamucil. Any recommendations on how to start adding vegetables into my day? Please no pinto or black Beans (too much gas)! I am tempted to buy a nutri bullet and to make shakes/smoothies and add unflavored Protein to it. Thanks!!

I guess it really is going to happen!
chellebelle0880 replied to chellebelle0880's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks. I know it will be fine, but thats what an irrational fear is all about! But anyway doctors office just called to say since I took some prednisone a week ago for an ear infection, I must be rescheduled for six weeks out. Plus to come off some other medications. So now it is June 15th. Man. Scared, then Happy, then defeated all within 48 hours. Oh well. -
I have the stomach flu for a couple of days, and while that sucked, it did make me think that a liquid diet would not be complete unbearable... On the other hand, it was 2 days, not 2 weeks pre/2 weeks post, but hey, I'll take support where I can get it!

Can you stall on a pre-op diet? I’ve been on it for 2 weeks and have another 2 weeks to go.

Good timing. I wish I had joined this forum weeks or months before my surgery instead of only a few days before. This is a warm and welcoming place full of nice and knowledgeable people. I know I've learned a lot. A welcome from me! By the way, there is a SURGERY COUNTDOWN ticker, if you're interested. See the word CREATE next to the shopping cart at the top of the page? Click the pull-down ARROW to the right of the word and select TICKER. Pick SURGERY COUNTDOWN and go from there!

Experiencing My First Stall
Once Upon a Sleeve replied to Mstlawrence's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was sleeved 11/16 and I noticed when I introduced solid foods earlier this week, my weight stalled. My NUT said to increase my fiber through vegetables, and things starting moving again. -
Oh yes V.A. ...I'm starting the Airborne on Monday. I get it in little packets that can be added to bottled Water and it will be my beverage of choice for the week prior to surgery. (sure hope there's nothing in there that will affect surgery...don't think so). I've been to Mexicalli twice now and never have seen the mall...sure hope I get a chance to this time. I've allowed a day of flexibility at the end of my trip to Mexicalli just in case of complications. If I get discharged from the hospital on time, I'll have a whole day to kill....if I get bored I might go to the mall, walk around and pass gas for them! (I'm sure they'll be thrilled that Medical Tourism has come to their part of the country). Vitamins......um....er.....I'm not taking any. Seriously now, should I start now? I never can remember the dang things...I know I'll need them after...but will it really have time to help boost my system if I start now? Water I already drink alot of...so I'm safe there. Tracy

Its been 3 weeks since my paperwork was submitted to my insurance comapny, Atena. So.. I got restless at lunch today and called Atena to ask on the progress. She was able to tell me that the Surgery for LAP BAND was "Authorized" and a tentative date of August 11. What I need to know is, Can I get excited? I want to be excitied, but I am a little tentative with out anything in wiriting or without my Surgeon calling me. What do you think? Did I really get approved??

Weight gain post surgery. Help!
jongetsfit replied to lauren66's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Totally normal, don't panic! I lost a quick 13 the first two weeks then was stuck for like 10 days and then started started seeing a few lbs come off. I literally had my 4 week check in with my surgeon today and he said he didn't even start looking for real loss until this point. It boils down to 3 things. 1) hit your hydration and Protein target. 2) stay off the scale 3) trust the process. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
My NUT cancelled the day before I start my two week liquid diet.. Help!
SleevyD posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So my nutritionist has taken a vacation and I'm scheduled to begin my two week liquid pre-op diet tomorrow. Usually my appointments refresh my motivation, and I really needed this appointment because I'm feeling extremely overwhelmed as it is. I have a basic guideline listing full liquids: hot cereals, cream soups, yogurt, pudding, custard, milk, sherbet. And clear liquids. But it doesn't say if I do full liquids for a week and switch, or what to do. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated! What did you eat... I mean drink during this diet? -

Has anyone here used Dr Pinson in Tupelo? I'm scheduled for initial app next week. Would like to hear from someone and hear their experience.

You can contact Dr. A, Ana, David, or Henry on here. They are all associated with BariatricPal. She had been planning to have the surgery since the summer, but found out insurance wouldn't cover it. From that point things moved pretty quickly as it has been about 6 weeks since first contact with Dr. A and the BariatricPal MX team.

When I made my ticker, I put in the highest weight I have been, which was at the end of last year. Which was when, I started doing Zumba twice a week and eating lower carbs. In February, I saw my doctor to start my diet/weight monitoring (insurance requirement) and he recommended a reduce calorie diet. Then in March, I started a 6 week course with a Nutritionist (again, part of the insurance requirement) and it just ended last week. SO, long story short, I have lost weight REALLY trying with exercise, reduce calorie/carb intake, and tips/counseling from a Nutritionist. I have done this many times before, but as with everyone else, my weight loss is not sustainable.

I am excited to say, I am approved for surgery! I really thought BCBSNJ (Direct 10) would write back asking for the full 6 months of diet/nutrition physician counseling since I only did 3 months and corresponding 6 week nutrition class. Of course, I sent them every weight history I could find in a nice little spreadsheet with what diet I was on for each date. Plus a copy of the CURVES diet and their whole exercise schedule for the 2006 year. I am so shocked and surprised! My surgery date is scheduled for 07/06/09 (since I have so much going on in the month of June). I cannot wait!!!!!!! :smile:

Where did you get your multivitamin?
terry1118 replied to jens1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I bought Flintstones Complete from Walmart. Last week CVS had "buy one get one free" on Nature Made vitamins. I bought out all the B-12 Sublingual from three local CVS stores. I found the Celebrate Calcium Citrate with vitamin D chewables at Faunce Corner Nutrition in North Dartmouth MA,(which they had in several flavors). They have a fair selection of bariatric products in addition to workout and diet suppliments. They also have unflavored whey protein isolate that I want to try adding to soups after surgery. They do online sales too. -
Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy.....

Hello all, I am new to this site. I just started my journey here in New Orleans and I couldn't be happier. I began my 6 month diet last week and I am well on my way. Any advice is welcome. -

Not Again- I Hit That Wall Hard
JayhawkJess33 replied to Lilu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lissa, I'm thankful you have a caring and competent surgeon too, considering he is also mine!!! LOL Seriously though, every time I read something about Dr. D I feel more and more that I made the perfect decision to go with him ) Lilu, I am so sad to see how much you are hurting because of this - I know I would feel the same as you even if I knew it was for the greater good in the long run. I read a quote from a poster this week that was something like "Keep your goal in mind and the bumps in the road won't matter" and I have thought back to that many times since. I think it is fitting for you too - I know it seems impossibly hard to stay positive right now and believe that it will, in fact, happen. My surgery can't come fast enough (I don't have a date and am so anxious to move forward I can't hardly stand myself!) so I know how frustrating more obstacles must be but really think about what the other posters have said. You want to be your healthiest for surgery and look at Lissa's situation - the extra time and hoops literally saved her life by preventing those clots from circulating. Keep coming here for support and answers to your questions - we will all get through it, one day at a time! -
Not Again- I Hit That Wall Hard
Lilu replied to Lilu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I want to thank you for your kind words. But the hurt is to big now. I was told if they find stones they will moves the surgery to another date. Where I am it takes at least three months to see a specialist and then about another month of taking meds and jumpping thru hoops. I have not been able to work. I am starting to develope a fear for doctors because when I go they always find something wrong. Another thing to add to my list of illness I have. Neverforme like always
