Please help me figure this out...I'm scared and mad!
illuminationlady replied to lisaky71's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry about your pain. My surgeon sent me home with a very large elastic band that wrapped completely around my midsection. I think you can buy them at the drug store. I wore that thing for two weeks and had hardly any problems. Best wishes!!! -
I am so bad!!
livingmydream replied to wannawearabikini's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No, you are not alone. Three days ago I decided I need to get real with myself. I need to learn how to manage my life NOW. My banding date is June 17, but I rationalized that I need to get started on this journey now instead of "later." Why? Because as you and I both know, with us, "later" never comes. That's why we are in this boat. I decided to forgive myself for past and move forward. I am working on eating like I will eat when I get banded. Maybe this will work for you. Good luck and start now. -
Count down to surgery.... May 28th!
thefuzzytongue posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I finally got a surgery date and attended the pre-op class today. It's finally setting in for me, I'm very excited! The doc has had me on a liquid diet for over a month, it's it getting a little tired. I have food here and there, since I know it won't hurt me/make me vomit. I know I can handle the liquid diet after surgery since it didn't kill me the last few weeks! I have lost a little in the last month, it feels good. I can't wait to see even more change in my life in the up coming months. -
Weekend Protein...
littlered12973 replied to Lisa_85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Weekends are the worst for me too. Sometimes its just easier to be disciplined during the work week! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App -
Any female near June 23rd 2014?
mi75 replied to paigenicole21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
june 24 here...i am down just over 60 lbs total right now. slowing down a bit right now but i have been lax with exercise the past few weeks. picked back up this week with exercise and a full shake every day too. we will see what the scale says at the end of the week! my surgeon told me there would be a day about 4-5 months out when the surgery will slow down it's part of the work, and MY choices and lifestyle would pick up a large part of the weight loss...thinking i am getting close to that. also, everyone talks about the 'honeymoon' period of 5-6 months post op when you lose the most. i think this all sounds pretty normal. -
2 months out and 60lbs down.
banjo1978 replied to Nycatt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's awesome! I'm only 3 weeks out and have been on a 2 week stall already. Looking forward to a weight loss like yours -
I am absolutely dealing with this also. I don't tend to be a very emotional person so I'm not used to it! I have broken out a bit, I'm craving chocolate which I never do and just generally not feeling like myself. It's actualy worked to my advantage twice now. I tend to be very nice and a beat around the bush kind of person but not so much lately. I emailed my boss asking for a raise a week ago and this weekend, I saw a ring I liked at Sears and told my hubby he was buying it for me. This is not normal behavior for me, but I am kind of liking it. lol

I'm 7 weeks post op and haven't regretted it once. You'll likely be nervous until the day of surgery and then you'll just be ready to get it over with. That seems to be the case for most people, anyway. Just keep your eye on the prize and know that it'll be (potentially) a tough few days after surgery and then it's all down hill from there. [emoji3] Good luck!!

It's funny how different our bodies are. The more I cut calories, the more I stayed the same. I had to increase my calories and carbs for a little bit to get my stall to break. I think my body was in starvation mode. Mine started at two weeks out and lasted almost two weeks. Then I lost 6 lbs in a week. Go figure!

You sound like you're actually doing great. How much weight are you looking to lose ? 15 pounds is nothing to shake a stick at! As long as you're gradually losing weight, that's really all that matters. If you're physically able, I'd try to increase my mobility and get some exercise going! Also, what's your normal calorie intake per day ? Are you on any special diets at the moment ? Jenn ha sa great point about this possibly being your 3 week stall. Do a quick search to read more.

I just made a week I need something more to eat than soup and water

Has any one been moved to pureed at 1 week post op? I as because my surgeon called me today to check up on me and I let him know I couldn't even look at another Protein shake and he told me because of my size he really wanted me shooting for 1200 cals a day if i could and gave me the go ahead to move on to Soups and other pureed foods, Just told me not to go trying to eat a steak today, lol.

Any Doctors In Raleigh,nc Not Use The Fluro?
xavier replied to NCHope's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Fluoro is no big deal. Its just white stuff that they have you swallow and they see it going down on an xray...if the stream looks too thin, you might be too tight, if it pours on through, you might need more fill. My doc never used it. Cheap on the fills is a whole other thing and it is very important. Some docs only give you a cc or a half at each fill and that is only every month or six weeks...this means you might have six months or even a year before your band starts working for you. My doc gave me three fills totalling 6cc in my 10cc band and for me that was green zone...I think some docs are cheap with the fills because after a certain period of time you have to pay for them! Best of luck! -

I slept two or three nights in a recliner after I came home. -
Sleeping In A Recliner Chair
sunnyd replied to Reddi4change's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Agree- it helps so much during recovery. I couldn't get in bed with all the pain so the recliner it was for a few weeks. Glad your pain is going away. good luck to you as you continue on this journey! -
pregnant at 44 after sleeve surgery
DIESELD47 replied to sonja1014's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Wow. Congrats. I struggled with fertility issues for years. I was sleeved 6/15 (lost almost 100 pounds and gained back around 15) and was shocked a couple of weeks ago to find out that I was pregnant - currently 11wks4days. I'm 42 and this is my first child. I'm convinced the sleeve caused my weight loss and that helped tremendously. My hubby and I had given up on having kids. So, congratulations again!!! -
Sleeved 3/29 and feel "unattached"
JamieLogical replied to autymn's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@autymn You should be okay with regular calcium pills in a couple of days if you aren't right now. That leave of swelling doesn't last much past a week or two. Some people cut their calcium pills in half to make them a little more manageable. -
Well it finally happened! I got my band on Tuesday and so far so good. I am a little sore and finding it harder to get around than I thought. Some gas but I am moving to get that up and out. It is hard to sip but I am doing it. Ate some liquified chicken soup and so far so good. It is only day three and hope I can keep the variety in my diet. Any recipes for mush and slush food please share. Thanks for all the advice before surgery it helped and I made it so far!

Just a question. Does your doctor consider yogurt the same as creamy soup? I could have creamy soup at day 8 but it was another week before I could have yogurt. Also I thinned out the Greek yogurt at that point with fat free milk because it is really thick.

Hehe! Try being infertile and going through all the tests, exams, etc! Sometimes I felt like telling everyone to form a line!!! :thumbup: LOL!!! Seriously had to go back and look again b/c I just didn't pay attention the first time! Sooo funny!! I have my surgeon's appt., ekg and chest x-ray on Friday. Kinda figured the x-ray was just a general check of everything. Does everyone have to have an x-ray? I have asthma too and wonder if maybe that's the reason for it. It'll be interesting to see what pops up. I had bronchitis a few weeks ago and can still feel a slight heaviness in my chest so I'm hoping they don't freak out about it. I'll have to let them know about it so if they see something, then they aren't thinking I am coming down with it. It seems so far away but yet it's getting so close now! Friday's appt then start the 10 day pre-op liquids on the 15th, then surgery the 25th!

Banded Monday May12th
NY2LAGirl replied to sbdlady1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
have you tried the Kashi Go Lean shakes another bandster recommended them and it has been my lifeline. No funky after taste! I have to be on clear liquids for 2 weeks and I am just sipping water, broth and juices plus 2 or 3 shakes a day. I am sure I am not doing enough but between the gas and severe port pain don't want much except to take pain meds and sleep -
Hi everyone I'm pretty new to the site but I love it already! I've just been reading and soaking in all the information for a couple of weeks. So much information and support!! I'm am in my 6 month monitored diet that my insurance requires right now, but my surgery will be Nov 20th!!!!!!!

Weightloss during Liver Refuction Diet
bigloser2014 replied to kgunchic's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lost about 15 pounds in 2 weeks. That is the exact diet my doctor put me on too minus the vegetables. Wt. loss is different for everyone though. You may lose more or less. I have not used Bariatric fusion but as for flavor, I thought the unflavored one worked the best as I could add my own flavors. I was allowed to add frozen berries to my shakes. My doc did not allow any tea or coffee. Good luck! -
