I'm 2 years out I've had my ups and downs of weight loss. I've have worried daily in my success of weight loss. On how many calories, rite vitamins, exercise, list goes on. I may have been the lucky one or am I? I went thru the phase of regret not able to enjoy the food I once loved. But I loved loosing the weight. Slowly. Sex drive went down hill. Hair falling out skin crepping. " Blood levels are normal" . Started out with small weight loss goals. Reached my goals. Over and over again my goal weight was 125. I told my self I have to stick to a healthy weight for me . Not what the experts say I should weigh. Then it was a goal of 115. in my head I'm not satisfied I'll do another goal of 110. So I decided it's time to maintain my weight or gain 10 pounds back. Since I'm now 100 lbs. I'm trying to gain weight. And I'm struggling!! I want to gain. should I eat the three C's cake,cookies, ice cream? Of course not what are healthy fattening foods? The positives. Looking good feeling good.

Keep doing what your doing. Are your clothes feeling different? Take pictures this will help see the change. I was at a 9 week stall. Then I dropped a significant amount of weight. Which will happen a time and again.

Closing the day just gives you an idea what you will weigh in 5 weeks if you eat the same amount of calories as that particular day. I recently started MyFitnessPal again, I like it very much. However, at the same time, I am still using the Fitday.com website since it has my monthly and yearly statistics, graphs, food and macros... Etc. of what I have eaten for more than a decade. I wish MyFitnessPal had monthly, 6 months and yearly averages. My diet is by monthly calorie average, not daily or weekly. Is there a way to see your monthly average calories in MyFitnessPal?

My specs are 5'3, 207 lbs which equates to a BMI of 36.7. Therefore going on a 4 week liquid diet will probably reduce my BMI ever more, just don't want to lose the ability to have the surgery. -

Vitamins & Supplements?
I♡BypassedMyPhatAss♡ replied to DownsizieMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wait. The Bariatric Fusion chewables are complete. You don't have to take the additional calcium citrate along with those. I don't understand why it's complete, because we're told that the iron prevents calcium from absorbing. So what I typed above about taking the additional calcium citrate wasn't correct. I got my routines mixed up. I was supposed to stay on chewables for three full months, but I only made it six weeks, then I just went with the one a day capsule. I never had an issue taking the capsule either. My surgery was so simple. I had no issues really. -
Thanks for that helpful info! I haven't started w/ fitness yet on Baritastic since I am not cleared for exercise (other than walking, stationary bike, etc) until six weeks post-op, but it is great to know those features are helpful. An upgraded scale is next on my list; can you share what smart scale you use?

My surgery date was 9/26 and my surgeon said not to take Vitamins until my post-op visit 3 weeks after surgery (this past Thursday). My surgeon recommended the fusion brand, but I am confused about the different types, some you have to take 4/day, others only once per day and then there are the calcium chews (two hours after iron). Is the Fusion 1x/day pill a complete Vitamin? I purchased the complete vitamin not realizing you need to take it 4x/day but would like to switch to the 1x/day version but just want to make sure it has the correct daily balance of vitamins, since 4x/day is just unreasonable and not workable into a work schedule and taking around Calcium pills which can't be taken within two hours of an Iron supplement and the gallstone pills (take 2x/day with food) and the reflux pills (take 1x/day before eating). I am wondering if the Fusion 1x/day vitamin is a complete vitamin and what other supplements does everyone take? In addition to the Fusion Multivitamin and 2x/day calcium citrate that we all take, I've been told (by friends) to take: B12 sublingual (when does one take this?) Fusion hair, Nails & Skin Vitamin D (50,000U/wk with vitamin K3) for skin Krill Oil collagen powder, Water soluble ADEK Vitamin (but the friend who told me this had a DS, which I did not have so I don't think I need this.) Does anyone take any of these supplements and what kind of daily multi-vitamins have worked best for you? Thanks!

so i had my first meeting with my medical team. we talked about pain management, nutrition, fluid consumption, vitamins and exercise. so far everything is going very well I am able to consume all my shakes and vitamins in correct amounts. I brought up my concerns about amount amount that I'm consuming and they told me that it is ok. When i transition to soft food I should keep three meals and two snack through the day. keeping meals about 250-325 grams about a 1 cup to 1.25 cups. to eat slowly and keep drinking fluids all day.. separate food from liquid about 30min apart. weighing foods it a great way to keep amount within range. I am using an app to track my food and nutrition and I am consuming about 900-1000 cal per day and I could increase to max of 1200 to help with my feeling very tired. My body is still healing and being tired is part of it also. getting rest and napping is common for most people after a drastic surgery. at the end of our meeting I ended feeling very good about my progress and my team is proud with my results and look forward to our 3 month meeting where we will follow up with blood work.

I did two weeks. Tomorrow is my last day of pre op diet. Monday is clear liquids and Tuesday is the big day! -
You're doing great! I've heard to stay off the scale for at least 5 weeks. Your body is freaking out right now and trying to find stability. Your weight is going to be going crazy. I've heard that hunger often continues until you're on solid foods. Once you start solids, you'll start feeling restriction. This video might help with the portion sizes.

Hi, I am new too. My ESG was on 10/7. But I was told NOT to weigh myself daily. It’s once a week, at a designated time / day, no cheating, no peeking at the presents before Christmas morning. It’s driving me batty from curiosity, but I am trying to comply because I understand the reasoning. So I am measuring my waist and upper arms obsessively instead, but it’s not the same. Also, 9-11 lbs in 12 days, heck yeah!!! Good job.

Four weeks is the longest liquid diet that I have heard of. I feel for you. I did 3 weeks but I did get certain vegetables to eat. Its to shrink your liver so the surgeon can operate easily -

Don't feel discouraged. You're doing just fine. Fluctuating 2-even 5 lbs a day is normal at any weight. This has to do with water weight, food etc. It's best to weigh yourself first thing in the morning, before food or drink and most importantly only ONCE per week. You're still healing. This was a big surgery. But most of all, Youre on track! Have you ever lost 8 to 10 lbs in one week before this? be proud! If you obsess over the scale it will mess with your head. Do not compare any if your progress to other people, our journeys are different right down to our surgeon guidelines and food phases. For portion sizes, your body will tell you if youre pushing yourself too much. Start small and work your way up. Less is more right now, protein shakes are incredibly important to not lose muscle mass. -
Gastric bypass surgery
Possum220 replied to bradshawdx's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Some do more than 4 weeks some less. I needed to do it for two weeks. The time needed also depends on an number of factors. The surgeon may have requirement to do a certain amount of time due to a starting weight and or getting the patient to show commitment to the process. Their primary reason for anybody to do the diet is to shrink the liver so that makes the surgical field easier to access. Asking the surgeon their reasoning. Hope it all goes well for you. -

I had my four-week visit today and I am down 30 lbs. I am just so astonished. It took me a year to lose the first 30. This is not easy but so glad I did it. I went to IHOP with my littlest guy tonight and husband and had about tbsp of an egg white omelet. I am doing super well with the foods. My only slight issue is I am still tired all the time. I am vitamining up like crazy (new word?). I have not started exercising yet but I got permission to start to do body groove tomorrow. Here is hoping the next 30 comes easily. Hoping for all of your success. -

Typically we only see 4 weeks for people with a lot more weight to lose. Don't know what your specs are since you have not added them, but people with a BMI in the 50's or 60's will sometimes have a 3 or 4 week pre-op diet. If that's you, it's to make the surgery as safe as they can. -

Word of warning: A LOT of people have issues with scrambled eggs post-op. So much so that my plan says to avoid them until at least 4-6 weeks out. If you're like me, I was always told that scrambled eggs were a good choice when we had an upset stomach, but new tummy, new rules, I guess? At the pureed stage, I was allowed poached eggs, and they were fine for me. Also egg salad was fine, as long as I mashed it up well first. I agree that pureed meats were generally not appetizing, but mashed-up (not pureed) tuna salad was allowed on my plan and it was pretty good. Pre-surgery, I already mashed up my tuna salad some, so I didn't really notice much of a difference. Chicken however was unpleasant. So much so that I won't be eating chicken of any kind for a while! Another good choice is refried beans or pureed bean soup. You can add unflavored protein powder to those and really up the protein if desired. -
That's smart, I went and got a 2oz sauce cup lol and would try to drink one every 1p min but my biggest problem was that it hurt even with the smallest sipps, and I'd feel full almost to the point of getting sick so I'd have to stop, I changed it to 2oz threw out 15-w0 min, sane thing but I'm now doing better with that, still not above 40oz a day but definitely getting better, and my primary doctor has had me set up for 2 bags if fluids 1-2 days a week since it happened, I'm very grateful for that, she said we will discontinue the fluid appointments when I can drink at least 55-68 oz of water a day ....

I just had surgery last week, and just found this app… I was surprised how little pain I felt, but I was also surprised how tired I was post surgery. I actually slept from surgery until late afternoon the following day. But once I woke up I felt great, but I wear out quickly. My doctor said the weight loss will help me feel more energized.

Wow. Your experience sounds awful, but the advice about an IV sounds good to me. I am only one week post op, so I have nothing to add, except what one of the nurses at my hospital had me do - he had me set a 20 minute alarm and basically laid out a bunch of pill cups filled with water to drink. One every twenty minutes. It has helped.

Dumping or something else?
fourmonthspreop replied to fourmonthspreop's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
It must be the fiber thing. I know I've had fake sweeteners before my surgery and got really sick but didn't feel nauseous, mainly just lower GI stuff. But this time around nausea followed by diarrhea. I still have a lot of residual gas. Just assume it's the fiber. Wow I bought three of them to eat for thr weekend but unfortunately they're going in the bin. So much for a good tasting protein bar. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app
