6/26 here... I've hit a mini stall at each new food phase and when I hit soft foods almost two weeks ago, its like somebody slammed on the brakes Sent from my mobile productivity killer.

So today im 3 weeks post op. Im still on pucc line for nutrition. Surgeon said maybe nxt thursday hell take it out. I was down 39 lbs but I have gained 10 since being on this nutrition. Surgeons not concerned. He says its all liquids and once im off theme weight will come off. Im basically starting over. I wasnt able to drink nething until this past weekend. W.o the nutrition id be so dehyrated. Im lucky if im getting 5-10oz fluids in. I was given permission to start trying liquids again. Im good with water, G2 & sf popcicles. Just made some noodles and im drinking the broth.so far so good. I bought some girl scout thin mint creamer for coffee today. I dont drink coffee but I was going to add some to my proteon shakes to see if that helps my stomache tolerate it. So far not hungry or thirsty. Im actually scared to try stuff. Dr said once I tolerate fluids again I can start a few bites of yogurt. Im so scared. Did neone else feel like this??

Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery Down Under
Chevron posted a topic in Gastric Plication Surgery Forum
A few days ago my stomach was stitched up by Dr George Hopkins in Brisbane, Australia. Despite it having only been a few days and I'm still in hospital, the clothes I packed fit better now! No more stomach poking out. Very surprised. I'd lost 3kg on the pre-op low carb diet (didn't do optifast). Currently on free fluids. Going home tomorrow. Got a few weeks off work so when I go back I should be on the soft foods. The first night was the worst, coming off the general anaesthetic - I was convulsing and a woman told me when they wheeled me into my room I looked crumpled and 16 (16 I wish!). The experience was so terrible that I begged the nurse to put me in a coma several times. But now it's all great. My doc has come around a few times and even called me. And they do a great potato soup. -
I'm taking my bag with me to my doc visit on may 8th. I have been doing the 2 shakes a day for almost 8 weeks and only lost 4 pounds. But my joints feel better. It was my last diet. My RA doc told me to try it and when it didn't work thats when he referred me to a bariatric surgeon for the sleeve (or RNY) I wont know till may 8th which way they want to go. I'm going to push for the sleeve because I tend to eat vegan (allergic to poultry). I'm terrified of dumping with the RNY.

Thanks Seela, love your post. I hadn't thought of it that way and I have been losing pretty good. 5 months post op 55 lbs loss. I have only had a couple of stalls but I also am seeing some loose skin around my neck, I have lost a lot of fat from my face. If it doesn't tighten naturally I will have it dealt with at some point. Maybe it will tighten on it's own? I hope so! I need a stall it sounds like! I def agree that our bodies continue to change even when we are not losing per se.

Question about exercise/calories consumed
MrsShannonDennis replied to juliansmom2003's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey! Well every body is different an loses differently. I work out pretty intensley 6 days a week. I eat less that 1000 cals a day, 40-50 carbs, and I need to be driinking more water. My surgeon said to stick to low carb, low sugar, high protein. What your doing looks good nutritionally. I would say up your workout, I know thats not what you want to hear. Sorry -
this is gonna be miserable

I also had a 3 week pre-op diet and it wasn't as bad as I imagined. I had a kind of similar diet to yours - I had to do slim fast shakes, plus I had sodium-free clear broth, fat-free sugar-free pudding etc. The first few days were difficult. I stayed inside a lot because I was afraid if I went out I'd want to eat (I live in the middle of a city and when I walk out the door there is food calling to me EVERYWHERE lol). After the first 3-4 days, it wasn't a problem and it was SO encouraging to see the weight coming off so fast. That was my motivation. I also really didn't want any complications at all with my surgery (including waking up just to find out I wasn't able to get the band). I am glad I stuck with it, because my surgery went well, and I'm feeling great now! Good luck, you will do great!! -

What's Your Goal Other Than Weight Loss
hollieismyname replied to innerelease's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I live near Kings Island too!! Well, I'm about a half hour away closer to Cincinnati but my husband works off of the same exit as KI. We were there today just for a little while to activate our gold passes. I'm 5 days post-op so I'm taking things slowly. My youngest is 4 so I mostly stood around with him in lines and walked. It was exhausting but I've been told the first two weeks are the worst! -
What's Your Goal Other Than Weight Loss
tstevens28 replied to innerelease's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did the Zombie run a week before my surgery- in Amsbury MA. And I scanned the crowd and I was the biggest chubbiest person there.. I was slow- and made my friends go on without me. But I finished it. I can't wait to do it again next year- hopefully 100lbs lighter!! I just want to fit On roller coasters with my son.. And travel without needing an extra seatbelt extender on airplanes!! -
All depends on your program. Mine had us start week 4 post op...taking chewable with the puree foods. Could switch to pill form about week 6ish..but they all made me not feel so well.

My doctor's office said that for the first three months do chewable and then try whole. I use Celebrate multi-complete Forest berry flavor and like them alot.

Is this gas or what??
NicoleW8ing replied to willsmommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having that same, rolling, stuck-halfway gas. Occassionally, it seems to come up though. I love the Viactive, but I am holding off on them until next week when I can have mushies. For now, just the sublingual B12, chewable Multivitamin. Next week, I'll be back on the Calcium. -

Daily meds after surgery
TwinsMama replied to jamie1234's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My Dr would not allow me to take any pills for the first 2 weeks. After that I could take my PPI and then a month or so later I could take my gallbladder pill. At 6 weeks I could take any meds/vitamins that the Dr okay'd in pill form. -
Don't feel bad. I have a low pain tolerance and took mine for almost 2 weeks. I swicthed from Percocet (which is stronger for me) to Vicodin after a week. Then I accidentally pulled some stitches in my port lifting something, so they gave me more Percocet. However, I am very non-sensitive to pain meds due to long term use from a back injury. So I have to take a horse-sized dose to feel anything. Actually, I was using the drugs more to prevent the pain from ever starting than cure it once it started. I feel that I healed better because of this.

I took it around the clock for the first few days and stopped after about a week.

nhverve replied to Chele6378's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Maria, My experience with Anthem was wonderful. Never did I think I would say such a thing about an insurance company but they were truely wonderful. It took my surgeons office quite a while to send the paperwork over to them but they finally got it on 12/23 and when I called on 12/28 (not realizing they had recieved it already) they said I had been approved on 12/24. So it took them 1 day to approve me. I have no co-morbids and had a starting BMI of 51... it is now 42. I dealt with Anthem out of Maine. I hope that helps!! Good luck next week you must be excited!!! -
Has anyone had a fill done by a radiologist? I saw my surgeon today and he suggested this. I had my surgery on April 22, 2009 and have lost 30 pounds. I am at 7.5 cc's in my 10 cc band, and after not losing any weight in the past 12-weeks, today at my weigh-in I had gained one pound. My surgeon said the radiologist will empty my band completely and then completely re-fill it. Then, I will drink some liquid while the radiologist slowly removes the saline from the band. I guess it will be a good way to ensure the band has not slipped and is still working correctly. Just wondering if anyone else has had this done. Thanks everyone!!

This week has been tough. I'm not sure if its because it's the time of the month. Any ladies have a hard time during this time? I haven't made the best food choices, but they were not horrible. I only went to zumba twice this week. I hope to be back to normal next week. I have another follow up appointment on the 16th. I hope i lost something. I feel like i got adjusted to the first fill too quickly. Idk i just feel off =/
