1 week post of and severe diarrhea
Mrsblacksun replied to switchwitch's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same problem right after surgery for two and a half weeks. It sucks and I'm sorry your going through it Dr blamed it on a bug but everything tested normal. I ended up getting a banana bag and postassium because I couldn't keep anything in. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using BariatricPal mobile app -
I had RNY July 20th. At my one week checkup I had lost 10 lbs. I weigh myself weekly and the last 2 weeks I haven't lost anything. 0 lbs in 2 weeks. Living off soft foods and have low energy levels for what? I'm starting college on the 29th and was hoping to have lost some weight by then. My mood has been all over the place. I've been crying and am regretting this surgery so badly.

Day 6 full liquid on
Foreverafter replied to Foreverafter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you so much @Arabesque! It’s nice to know that im not alone. I honestly don’t have much problem drinking, i’m trying to stick to 4oz at a time every 20min or so. According to my dietitian, im already starting week 2. Which im allowed to have sugar free pudding, low fat yogurt, and fat free milk. And also campbells soup! i can’t wait for next week, im badly craving a tuna sandwich! 😅 How many month/ years are you in post op? -
I had a blood test as part of my pre surgical check (height, weight, ECG, etc.) three days before my surgery. I believe it was a pretty broad test (CBC, lipids, metabolic, nutrient, etc.). I remember they took several vials & they still do. This initial test formed the base line then for the subsequent post surgical blood tests.

Hi there! My surgery (gastric sleeve) date is August 22nd. I'm 5'7" and haven't stepped on a scale in 6 months, but judging by how my clothes fit compared to the last time I did, I'm probably around 390 pounds. The next 2 weeks has me on protein shakes + a small meal a day. Today I had my blood drawn. Phone consult with the anesthesiologist is Friday. I think tomorrow or Wednesday is also my pre-op consult with my surgeon. I have severe arthritis in my knees after 4 decades of chronically dislocating knees, and with the weight on top of that, I'm in so much pain and can barely move. Pre-diabetic from a family with diabetes. High blood pressure. Depression. I really look forward to less pain and more mobility. I used to be such an athletic person, but I'd settle for being able to walk without wincing even with a cane. I know it's not going to be an easy road, but neither is living like this. I just want it to be a longer and healthier road....

Day 6 full liquid on
Arabesque replied to Foreverafter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same as @kcuster83. I could have eggs at the start of week 3 in puree stage. Just had to be runny scrambled eggs or boiled eggs mashed with Mayo. But, yes some people struggle with eggs to begin: they just don’t sit well or taste unpleasant. What does your plan say? PS - Congrats on your surgery. I had a lot of swelling too & then my back spasmed so I had three nights in hospital. I found warm drinks more soothing & easier to sip. -
I can’t believe the day is getting so close. It feels like yesterday that my doctor first suggested the surgery and here 7 months later and I start my two weeks of liver-shrinking diet on Friday. Sucks that my hubby’s birthday falls two days before surgery, but I’m confident that I can do this. So lucky to have him on board with me, he’s been looking up foods I can eat if we go out during the diet lol “I know us, we’re not going to eat at home every night.” His words 🤣 I’ve had a few nervous freak outs and I’m sure the nerves will only get worse as it gets closer, but I’m all in and so looking forward to the other side. Since hubby was diagnosed with diabetes in May, we’ve been really careful about what we eat and I’ve already lost around 35lbs, so I know that with the surgery, it will only get easier (though by no means do I consider this the easy way)!

Hello, I am new to the community. I had my sleeve on 07/19/2022. The first 2 days were HORRIBLE! However that 3rd day was tolerable. I am now 4 weeks out and I'm struggling with how to put my meals together to get my proteins.

November Surgery Buddies!!!
Spinoza replied to Tristenhilpert97's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Stalls are the absolute worst. They shake your faith in EVERYTHING! Keep the faith @DaisyAndSunshine if you're sticking to the programme then you might well lose those last few pounds, even if it takes a while. You have done so so very well. I really want to lose about another 10 lbs although I accept that may or may not happen. -
How are things going for you now? Are you feeling any better? I have been traveling for several days and not able to see the posts. I hope you are doing okay! I had my 2 week pre-op appt and on clear liquids now - I'm ready to get this done. I sure hope you're feeling better!!
-
Wow 5 weeks is awesome! Good for you. Sadly I can’t take that kind of time off so I’m just hoping my body works with me and allows me to push through. I’ll be back at work on the 27th. Exactly 1 week later. Do you have a pre-op?

Hey everyone! I’m a week post op! I had to stay an extra day in the hospital because the nursing staff wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be doing. Doing pretty well but I’m ready to move out of the liquid stage. I was up 11 pounds from my pre-surgery weight when I got home and still three pounds over today. I’m hoping I can have some puréed food soon. I’m over protein shakes!

Hi there my surgery date is scheduled for August 22nd . I plan on taking 5 weeks off of work.

I am Irish and I'm afraid alcohol is baked into my culture. I have drunk some wine most weekends since 6 weeks after I had my sleeve last November when my (Irish!) surgeon and nutritionist permitted it. Yes I do get a hit much quicker than I used to, especially if I haven't eaten much beforehand, and yes, it wears off much quicker too. I do count the calories and I only do it at weekends. It has probably slowed my weight loss but I'm accepting that. I totally get that mightn't be acceptable to other people. But IMO it hasn't held me back *that* much.

Any August 2022 buddies out there??
LookingForward22 replied to Connie88's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
That was a struggle to not want to eat everything the final week before starting my pre-op diet! -
August surgery buddies!
LookingForward22 replied to Connie88's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh my 21 days! I’m certainly not going to complain about 8 days - you just made this a whole lot easier on me. So far day 1 has been better than expected. After my 2nd (out of three) Fairlife shakes and about 12 oz of juice - I didn’t think I could take one more sweet sip, so I had some chicken broth. I welcomed the savory. I have one more shake, about 6 oz of juice and 15 oz of Water to go yet today. No hunger yet - but I think I’ve been to busy running to the potty (it’s a lot of liquids… lol) and focused on hitting my goals to think about it to much. I told my husband and kids - that if I can make it to day 3 without being cranky I think I can make it till Tuesday. But you making it through 21 day to get to “Goal” I’m inspired and extra motivated! -
Starting my liquid (liver shrinking) diet tomorrow
LookingForward22 replied to LookingForward22's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you! My pre-op weightloss kinda froze for the last two weeks. I am hoping the liquid diet gives me a nudge to loose another 10 pounds or so before the procedure (mine is only 8 days). I figure every pound I loose before is one I don't need to loose after. Best of luck over the next week... I will look forward to seeing your progress and cheering you on! -
Starting my liquid (liver shrinking) diet tomorrow
djhobbes replied to LookingForward22's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My pre-op diet was two weeks. The first few days were tough; I was hungry all the time, and nothing was satisfying. That coupled with the fact that I was drinking 5 shakes (my nutritionist suggested the Carnation Light Start) every day and I was tired of everything being sweet. Past the first few days, things improved dramatically. I generally didn't feel like I was constantly starving, and I started adding broth & bouillon on occasion to deviate from the constant sweetness. -
Ok...2 weeks down, we'll more than that but yeah, VSG was 7/21. Technically still in full liquids phase....SOOOOO over liquids. Can't seem to stomach or make myself keep drinking protein shakes or soup, its literally 95° like everyday since surgery 😞Soft food for 6 weeks start Thursday...trying to hold on

My surgery was the 27th too! I have never been on a forum before….so, here goes! Looking forward (tomorrow) to being able to imbibe something other than protein shakes, water, Gatorade, and chicken-broth with protein! It has been a very long 4 weeks! Excited for low-fat creamed soup! Just wish That I didn’t have to return to work next week right as the ‘mushy food’ phase begins.

February 2022 Surgery Buddies
LaTiaV replied to MeganMyers's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello, I am 6 Months PO, feeling very good today, I had issues with reflux, had a couple of endoscopies and seems like I am fine but for some reason my esophagus is still inflamed, but I feel a lot better now. Hair loss seems to be slowing down, I cut my hair very short because it was awful to see it coming off in the shower, now I can see baby hairs growing but they are very thin. I have lost 83 pounds, I used 2X and 1X size clothes and I still cannot believe I can use jeans size 10. Hungry is back, I cannot eat much at a time but I feel like eating too often, I need a to find way to control that, for now, I put my highest weight pictures in the refrigerator hopping they remind me what happens if I get just one more snack. I have to travel for work and that takes me out of any routine. I have to organize myself better during those weeks. No regrets, I hope everybody else is doing well. -
September surgery buddies!!
Hope4NewMe replied to Slwhurst's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had my last dietitian appointment today. Its weird that it was my last of any type of appointment until my actual surgery date. He just went over my 2 week pre-op diet. They had never mentioned a calorie limit in any of the classes, so I was surpised to find out that they want me to only have up to 800 calories per day for the 2 weeks. Mostly they expect this to happen because of the limited food and low carbs. I was planning on eating cream soups though, strained like they allow on their list but he said to be careful of carbs and to not go over the calorie limit. I think I'm going to have a tougher time then I thought. I have to just keep reminding myself that its temporary -
Welcome to the other side! I used 1oz medicine cups. Filled them up and kept a tally every time I finished 1. I started out with 3 sips per 1oz cup and slowly was able to take bigger sips. Every day I kept my tally and made sure I beat it the following day even if just by 1oz. It worked for me, I was hitting my fluid and protein goals by my 2 week follow up. Give it a try, hope it helps!

I am a week into a 2 week preop, it hasn't been bad and the numbers going down on the scale have been a help to keep me going! You can do it!
