KEEP LOSING AND GAINING SAME 3lbs
jen36 replied to jen36's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
so hard to stay motivated when your exercising 5 days a week but the scale shows no progress. No I haven't measured myself at all, I know I need to do that but I haven't. Just got to keep pushing myself and not give up. I went through that surgery to succeed not to give up.. -
I was sleeved on 01-14-13 and have not had any problems whatsoever until this past Wednesday night. I have eaten everything exactly like they told me to eat. I had my soup for dinner and about 1 1/2 hours later I had the terrible dry heaves. Last night no problem until 1:30 a.m. (7 hours after dinner) and I threw up nothing but yellow liquid. Anybody having these problems? Somebody said it could be gallbladder. Any ideas? Thanks

April 5, 2011 Today is 2 weeks out, and Im feeling good. I'm completely off and pain meds and rarely have soreness around the incisions (except right after walking for 20+ mins). The most notable changes are in the inclusion of one egg per day to my continued clear liquid diet, (I never thought I would be so excited to eat half a scrambled egg!) and beginning my vitamin regiment. My surgeon has his own line of multi-vitamins and supplements designed for people who've had weight loss surgery so I ordered a bottle and picked up some sub-lingual b12 from GNC. So far so good. My stomach seems to be tolerating the changes well, and to this day I haven't had a moment's nausea. Since going back to work (yesterday) Ive started waking up in the middle of the night and having trouble getting back to sleep. Maybe I've just thrown off my internal time clock with all the vacation time? My hope is that it will sort itself out. I'm still pretty fatigued most of the time. Oh yeah, someone came up to me at work today and told me I looked like I lost a ton of weight. That was frickin awesome. The scale keeps moving down but I'm comfortably wearing the same clothes... Not sure where the weight is coming from. And to be honest, when I look in the mirror I don't see it (yet). Ah well, steady the course. www.wlsvitamins.com ~Bellah~

Hi Smilecharmer, Your liquid diet varies depending on what your surgeon says. But, mine was 4 protein shakes a day (5 or less net carbs), 1 low carb yogurt, 1 sugar-free pudding. I could have unlimited sugar-jello, popcicles, crystal light, broth, water, and decaf tea. I could also have egg-drop soup (which is what got me through it). I ate about 3 or 4 chicken breasts over the course of the two weeks because I was really hungry. Some surgeons allow you to do liquids and 1 meal a day which consists of 3oz lean meat and a veggie. I wish I had had that one! But, I made it... and you will too! Congrats on your decision to get WLS! Good luck on your journey! Rachel

**No first fill for half of a year!!!
frenchiekisses posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just had my 6 week post op appointment. My doctor told me 5 minutes before surgery that he would not fill me at this time. Turns out, he will not fill me for another 6-8 weeks. He says when he does fill me he will only put a little in to 'prime' the tubing. Then he says i will come back in another 6-8 weeks for a fill ONLY if I have lost at least a 1/2 lb a week by diet and exercise!!!! So, he wants me to somehow lose weight that I have never been able to do on my own before surgery before he is willing to help me. PLUS making me wait at least 4 months post op but maybe 5-6 months just for my first real fill. Thoughts? Anyone ever heard of this?? Can I and should I switch doctors so soon? -
when were your follow up visits
MichiganChic replied to kathyhalls's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
2 weeks - surgeon and nurse 6 weeks - dietician 4 months- nurse, doc if needed 9 months - nurse, doc if needed 12 months- nurse and doc might be some time with dietician in there too at those visits....not sure when -
Mary, You are very wise to be concerned! I underwent an emergency unfill due to post-sinus drainage irritation. I had a fill appt. and then two weeks later noticed more restriction. It is allergy time and constantly have the post-nasal drip (thick). Well, dinner got stuck one night and that increased the irritation so much I started to bleed. I would definitely wait to get a fill. Take sudafed or something else, in addition to what you have now. Get the sinus/bronchitis/laryngitis situation cleared up first. Also, if you are PB'ing it can make the bronchitis worse by getting into your lungs. Take Care!!!

It happened to my friend who was banded two weeks before me. She has pcos, and after she was almost 4 months post op and down 40 lbs, she started ovulating and became pregnant without knowing!!!! She had two previous pregnancies using fertility drugs and her twins were only 9 months old when she found out she was pregnant again. Soooooo, yes, it can happen once you have lost some weight.

I do about 1/2 Water and 1/2 sugar free water options. Have not ever had a problem or a stall with either or. The largest stall comes from not getting enough fluids in during the day. Both have been helpful.

I got my date today!
lovingme4me replied to lovingme4me's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
yes and I have tried doing to shakes with my meds and still too high. I will try doing the zumba dvd also these next two weeks. -
Nope I'm down the I 90 in buffalo. 2 weeks out. Happy so far.

Sounds great! I lost about 40 before my surgery which was last week. I've already started a very large pile of clothes that are too big. Trying to decide between donating and going to a consignment store so I could at least get a few dollars back. And I'm checking out smaller sizes at Goodwill to get me through the next months when everything will be changing quite a bit. I love this idea for a topic NSV!

Annie B replied to I-used-to-be-fat's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
That's why I put it in quotes - I have trouble equating these as meals as well. I have lots of questions for the NUT next week. Next Wednesday (the 16th) I get to move to soft solids and then add 2 2oz snacks, for a total of 16 oz of food a day. Still seems like a very small amount! However, I'm committed to changing relationship with food, and this first 6 weeks is really crucial, I think. -

What is wrong with me?
flowers replied to Rivieramaya05's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im down about that much overall too. We might just have to push each other a little now and again. I need to make myself walk too, or my weight loss will slow down as my metabolism changes. Im impatient like you, I want the weight to just slide on off and be gone .... dont I wish!!! I think you have to not lose for a couple of weeks to call it a stall. Maybe change up the calories and anything with a higher sugar level too. Im using Boost (el yucko I know) and it has some sugar, so I could have a lower sugar Protein Drink tomorrow etc. Just dont let your eating get into a total rut. Its hard when we cant grab a piece of meat to hold off the hunger already for me. I want some munchies. So maybe we can push each other once in a while? -
What is wrong with me?
Mrs J.J replied to Rivieramaya05's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Relax ladies, you need to concentrate on healing your body at this stage. Don´t stress about what the scale says. After you get your first fill is when the real weight loss starts. I have also stabilised in my weight loss and I am not stressing about it at all. Next week I will get my first fill and then work these kilo´s off. I think we all need to remember it took us YEARS to put the excess weight on, how can we expect it to all come off in one month? It won´t happen. -
Don't be scared to drink, stick to your liquids then move to mushies then to solids. Just be certain you take very small bites. It is a lot in one go and it's possible you won't notice the full effect for another week or two so in the meantime sip slowly and chew thoroughly and you'll be fine.

Need some advice
innwtitdtity replied to shutuplena's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Lana, I have only been banded for a couple of weeks, but maybe getting back to basics might help get you on track. Pull out the information (or request it again from your surgeon/nutritionist) on what you did when you were first banded. Maybe if you do that for a few days it will help get you back on track. Good Luck Funny, we have the same ticker... -
Deso - I had mushies last week and when I had a scrambled egg it was absolute heaven! Enjoy and just think, you will be on to soft foods in no time!

Pain After Taking A Drink( New To Losers Bench)
FDclerical replied to steelergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
your surgeon or discharge nurse should have gone through how you would feel the next 2 weeks. that is a normal feeling only because we are still swollen down there and its a healing process. i am going through the same thing so i wouldnt worry. i notice that the warm liquids and room temperature are going down much smoother for me. are you really concerned? if so i would call your surgeons office there is always a nurse on call to help. good luck to you! i was sleeved on the 6th -
need to get back on track...help...please
AnewG2012 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Next week I will be 6months post op. I have so far lost 76pounds- yayyyyy me!!! BUT lately I find myself picking up my old habits (junk food, cookies and etc). I'm terrified of gaining the weight back but I can't stop wanting these damn sweets. What do I do? Also, what's my calorie intake suppose to be 800 or 1000 calories a day? I could really use some encouragement and ideas of what to eat. Please feel free to add me on fitness pal: aslimme85 -
I tried on my jeans today... booooooo! They still fit..lol... They fit better, but I was expecting them to be lose...well they were tight as hell from the get go...lol...I'll try again next week..

I am 2 weeks post op today and feeling great! No more gas pain. Just a little tenderness near the biggest incision. But I can already sleep on my stomach which is amazing. Sleeping was hard before, most of first week, since I'm a stomach sleeper. I was waking up every 2-3 hours. But thankfully it's improved now. Been exercising everyday at least 15 min up to 45 min walking or going to the gym on the stationary bike. I'm down 19 lbs since the pre op diet and have a goal of 65-70 more to go. Been tracking food, drinks and exercising on myfitnesspal. It keeps me honest. On soft foods now starting today although I've been slowly adding day by day since I've been hungry. I'm scheduled to get my first fill week after next. I'm a little nervous to travel next week on a 4 hour flight. Sitting for a long period of time is uncomfortable. I've been working at home since 4 days after surgery so it's been easy to just lie down whenever needed. So any suggestions anyone has would be appreciated about flying and sitting for so long.
