Nov 2020 Bypass Peeps?
jenniebrick replied to Lanie Hardy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you Grammie2! I guess I had this image of the weight pouring off. My husband also just underwent a double bypass surgery and is only home 4 days from the hospital and I’m wondering if all the stress is holding on to some of the weight. It’s nice to know I’m normal 😜👍 -
Food Before and After Photos
Sophie7713 replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I use to love Bolognese sauce! Unfortunately, simmered tomato products in my sauce or chili (another favorite) no longer feel good after digestion. I've tried to revise both recipes to no avail. Hubby makes a killer turkey chili that makes the house smell heavenly! But then when I take a bite - same heavy feeling like you experience. 😕 -

I had the gastric Sleeve in 2013, I went from 265 down to 155. Fast forward to today, I'm weighing in at 215 and now I'm going for a revision to the MGB (mini gastric bypass) Your sleeve definitely will stretch. I was able to "eat" real foods 2 months out with the sleeve, however, it was 2 teaspoons and I was done and that lasted through my 4-6 month mark. You will be able to enjoy a lot of different food but remember to make healthy choices and count calories, carbs and protein basically for the rest of your life. If not, the regain will happen. If you're on the fence about surgery but want to lose some weight, try a liquid diet for 7 days. It's called a sleeve reset. You will drop anywhere from 5-10 pounds.

NovaLuna replied to TimeToFeelFit's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 10 months (almost 11 months) post op Loop DS which involves a sleeved stomach (this particular surgery also has an intestinal bypass as well as shortening your small intestines). I'm able to eat between 6-7 oz. If I eat 8oz I feel nauseous, so that's not a good idea. I've been able to eat 6 oz since about 5 months out. It upped to 7 at around 8 months out. Your stomach CAN stretch back out. I wouldn't advise doing it on purpose though because it kind of defeats the purpose of the surgery, but you won't necessarily be stuck eating small amounts forever. As to eating foods from other countries it honestly depends on how you tolerate certain foods. For example, I can't eat wheat anymore because I dump. And it's not worth feeling like that. Even the smallest trace amount of wheat in something gives me unbearable nausea for a good hour. Also, moderation is key. When it comes to drinking with food they tell you not to because it makes the food go through you too fast and then you'll be hungry again sooner. Farther out I don't think it'll be a big deal if you drink on a special occasion but that fluid is going to take up space and won't be able to fit as much food. -

How are you doing now with weight loss? I’m trying to figure out what I should be doing. I had my surgery on Nov 19 (mini gastric bypass) and I have only lost 9 pounds. I am tracking 500-600 calories... sometimes less. I walk a lot. Not at the stage that I can do more than a lot of walking. Did you find you made changes or did it just start coming off?

10/26 Surgery! Anyone interested in a surgery buddy/support group?
Candacechafton replied to BypaSSSed's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had gastric bypass 11/30 which was a revision from a sleeve performed in 2013. I was having significant issues with GERD and weight re-gain. I am healing very well and have had little to no pain or nausea issues. I lost about 17 pounds during my 2 week pre-op diet and lost an additional 8 lbs first week post op. I’m trying not to get frustrated but it’s tough to watch a whole week go by and the scale not move. They warned me at my 1 week post op visit that my weight loss would slow because my body thinks it’s starving. I get to start with soft solids Monday so hopefully the scale will start moving again. -
I had revision all surgery (sleeve to gastric bypass) on December 8. It’s now five days later and I have a lot of pain on my right side. Is this normal?

I recently had surgery Dec 7th for bypass. It went well. Just some advise, only drink 1-2 oz of liquid/water the first 5 days. They say little sips. Well, I took a lot of little sips and went back to hospital for 2 days. Dumping the day after surgery is not a good idea everyone. Learn from me. Slow and steady wins the race!! It is a challenge for sure. You will be tested hourly, even minute by minute sometimes as I am learning.

Looking for people who are still sick after they eat. Have had their Roux de Y Gastric Bypass surgery a few years back. Anyone suffering malnutrition? Having hard time with vitamins? Had a Dr that says he wishes you hadn’t had the surgery? I need to relate to another person who may be like me right now. Ty. No hurry in answers. I’m busy working but will check in. Ty ty

4 months post-op, weight loss has stopped - is this a stall or something else?
MoominMan posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Had bypass 4 months ago and my weight loss has pretty much stalled for the past 3 weeks. I have also noticed I am feeling much hungrier most days, and portion sizes are creeping up. Not significantly, but noticeably. Oh, and I am definitely missing my protein targets. By a lot. I am having big problems with food (just been diagnosed with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) which essentially means I have an incredibly small range of things I can eat. This not only makes meals extremely boring after a while, I have become quite reliant on relatively unhealthy foods (e.g. I use ragu sauce from a jar rather than making my own). Also, I slipped and had a small amount (but still too much) of cake and crisps. That said, this past week has been healthier and yet the weight loss is still stalling. I'm not sure if this is just a periodic stall, the effect of not a very good diet in recent weeks, or if the effects of the operation are already wearing off? Does anyone have any similar experiences? -

Memory issues after surgery
Queenhkb replied to Queenhkb's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I must say that I am greatful and thankful for the ability to have the surgery the sleeve and the revision and other repairs ( gallbladder removal and hernia repair. It's all a blessing. Despite the post operative complications. It's better than bring morbidly obese and living 300 plus is difficult on the heart, joints, kidney, liver, mind and soul. And you know society treats obese people very different ( cruel). I'm thankful that 169 now. No pre diabetes, no pre heart issues no more shots in the knees and feet. No more depression medicine. I feel 100 percent better. This complication stuff will not steal my joy. Please don't let your issues steal your courageous spirit and new life joy. Work with your doctor, dieticians, therapist, pray and be easy on yourself. Use the supporters like this group. And others. Stay focused on why you made the life change. Perhaps there are other changes that we need to seriously consider. Surgery won't fix it all but it's a great tool. Follow what doctors say and don't feel bad to say you need help or have a memory issue, naseau, complications can be addressed. Be careful with yourself and listen to your body, heart, mind and soul. Ask others going through the same thing and don't be embarrassed. This is life and we got this surgery to live more abundantly. If you mentioned your challenges to someone and they make fun of it or say you took the easy way out....stop sharing your journey with them. Non supportive people aren't helpful during major life changes. keep being optimistic. Im hopeful that in time I'll be recalling things better. Please Let me know what you did to overcome any of the post operative things. -
memory issues Memory issues after surgery
Queenhkb posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Greetings everyone, I hope that all is well for everyone reading this. Whatever is not going the best, prayers for improved circumstances soon. Question: I had gastric sleeve revision to by pass, gall bladder removal and hiatal hernia repair. I had severe GERD and that hernia made me sick not to mention the gallbladder attacks. I had inflammation from my esophagus to my intestines. Like inflammatory bowel. I was taking prednisone, bentyl, prilosec, amitiza. Lord it was rough. I had the revision 9/9/2020 and it was rough. All the surgeries at once was a blessing. I didn't want to keep going back and forth. I'm able to eat small meals and have less naseau. I eat salmon a small piece, g reek yogurt, spinach, plant based bacon, peanut butter, , protein shakes. It's been a big adjustment. I'm having difficulty Remembering things and tingling hands, constipation and mood swings. Tired. The doctor said constipation is normal take milk of magnesium, moods and hormones have to adjust. Takes time to build stamina back up. Tingling hands and lethargy could be malabsorption of nutrients and vitamins. However, they said problems remembering things at 90 days out has not been common. Anyone have this issue? I had an appointment today, took lab work and scheduled a consultation with neurologist. I supervise first responders. Being back at work has been challenging with the post operative issues. Anyone experience this? -
I am wrestling with understanding if what I am doing is correct post gastric bypass. In the first few weeks the weight moved not very fast but faster than now. For the last 5 weeks I am losing on average between 1.5 to 1.75 pounds per week. I spoke to the dietician who first told me it was because I do not eat enough carbs and I should have rice cakes and then when I followed what she said (by adding a half of a rice cake a day) but there was no change she said I understood her incorrectly, which I do not understand as she put it in writing, and should use another plan and eat no carbs even though the other plan says start the day with toast or whole wheat crackers, I am allergic to gluten. If I am a slow loser then I just want to know if what I am doing is correct as I have pretty much started to do my own plan for the last two weeks. Is the amount I am losing post gastric bypass slow, is it a signal that something is wrong and how will I know? I am sorry for the length of this post. I have requested a different dietician and this will be discussed in January which means I am on my own for now.

Lapband revision
PollyAnna3483 replied to emma6588's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I had my band removed in January and a bypass in November. I was having trouble with my band that I had in for 12 years. I maintained about a 50lb loss up until that point and would have been happy to stay that weight but the minute they removed all fluid from my band I started gaining. I gained 40 of my 50 lbs back before I had bypass. They recommended bypass instead of sleeve because I had Acid reflux and the sleeve can cause that to get worse. I would definitely get a second opinion about leaving the band in. Whatever you choose just follow your plan and I am sure you will do great! -
Duodenal switch -Do you physically feel different and what about sex?
CarlLondon replied to Notwhatyousee's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
I had the DS on Monday. Feel absolutely no different than when i went in. Bruised badly around the OP incision sites but apart from that feel absolutely no different whatsoever. Mine was revision surgery though. Id had the sleeve and sadi before. Re sex: too early to be thinking about that, but the old boy rises so im sure it will be ok -
Hi I have had DS REVISION surgery. I had a SADI which failed and i found i could literally eat whatever i want without any symptoms and weight rocketed. I visited my surgeon who understands that if all it took was a change of diet nobody would need WLS. I explained to him that I need something which, if i ate the wrong foods (either accidentally or by being gutty), something would give me a kick up the jacksy and remind me not to do it again. So he recommended the DS and advised, should I "test the waters" i will be on the loo within 30 mins and this will happen every time i do. Obviously im not planning to be naughty, but I was told the same thing with the SADI and that failed and before long I was back on the Mars Bars and KFC. I don't want that with the DS but i also need to know it's worked. I had the DS on Monday. As the operation didn't physically touch or reduce the size of the stomach, i am only on a weeks puree food before being allowed normal stuff slowly introduced, but don't have to follow the 6 stage plan. However nothing i have tried so far has given even the slightest twinge and bowel movements have been been exactly the same as before the op (although the chalky green stuff is coming out now), but it's no more frequent and is actually more solid than before. I am aware it's only ben a few days and it's probably much too early for this post, but just wondering if anyone else has had revision surgery and has had no effects from the DS. C.

Lapband revision
catwoman7 replied to emma6588's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
a lot of people have had revisions from band to either bypass or sleeve. They're both good surgeries and I think you'll find people who are very happy with both! And either is supposedly WAY better than the band!! -
I know not a lot of carbs, but maybe too many carbs for you with a bypass?

I had my bypass Nov. 5th and am just transitioning to soft foods. Yesterday for lunch I had a small amount of Thai shrimp and rice noodles, and it went down fine. Then I had an applesauce snack, no problem. For dinner I decided I would try some ground beef with a few noodles. I didn’t eat a large amount and I chewed well, but I’ve been sick ever since and throwing up every hour to hour and a half. I’m not throwing up food, just saliva. And if I try to drink anything, it comes up after 5-10 minutes. I don’t really feel nauseated, it’s just an awful feeling of fullness which gets worse and worse until I throw up. It’s now 6:45 a.m. and I’m exhausted! My doctor’s office opens at 8:00, so I’ll be calling the minute they open. I hate the thought of having to go to the hospital, but I’m afraid I may have a blockage, and I’m probably getting dehydrated at this point. Has anyone else experienced this? Up until now I really haven’t had much of a problem, other than experiencing the foamies a couple of times, which were short lived. Ugh!

Thank u for replying sadly my BMI is extremely high that’s why they recommend the bypass they suggest to keep the band in so down the line I use use it to give me a extra push I don’t think they understand that when something gets stuck it literally feels like a knife is slicing me from the inside

Anyone for Jan/ Feb 2021
Betty1971 replied to ChiNaDoll2285's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't freak out about not being about to do it after surgery!! Everything changes in an instant. The first week will you will not want to eat anything. You will have to force yourself to get your fluids in and then after you can get fluids in you will work to get in your protein. Definitely do what you can do now to lose what you can and follow the Drs and dietitians pre op diet, my program had me on a low carb high protein liquid diet for two weeks before surgery to try to shrink up my liver as much as possible to make surgery as easy and successful as possible and those were the hardest two weeks as far as feeling hungry. After surgery I have never felt hungry, I have been super lucky and had an easy recovery as well. As long as you follow the program they give you post op and get in your fluids and don't try to push the boundaries (with no appetite its pretty easy to do) you will have no trouble. I do not know which surgery you are having but with the gastric sleeve it is pretty neat because when they remove the majority of the stomach you no longer have the hormones that make you hungry. I can't say with the gastric bypass how it works as I had the sleeve but don't freak yourselves out about how you will do it after the surgery because your tastes, systems and hunger all change big time when you wake up after surgery!!! Happy Holidays
