aSpen replied to stitz86's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I am almost 10 weeks pregnant (sunday) and I haven't had any issues with food getting stuck..I drink lots of water before I eat and it seems to so called lube my band up so I have no issues getting anything down..I am probably not going to get unfilled but I say if you can't keep anything down you def need to get unfilled some...I would get some protein drinks like Mariposa said and try to keep those down...good luck and congrats!! -
I stalled at 3wks and 7wks. I understand theres another coming up at around 14wks. Its normal and thats the time you want to take measurments instead of weighing yourself. chin up kid.. you are normal.. and if you have more questions.. theres always the chat room. Its more active at night.

Hi all - am almost 3 weeks post op. Dropped close to 20 pounds the first two weeks and I have only lost about 3 pounds in the last almost week!!! I know my doctor said it was inevitable - and he said I probably wouldn't lose much in the next couple weeks but it almost has me second guessing why I did this. I feel fantastic and I know I won't drop 100 pounds overnight but in my head I keep thinking that I lost more weight than this ridiculous amount by just eating healthy!!! I'm just about at my breaking point with frustration. I know it is normal but what gives? I'm ready to start losing again.

Hi, I had my surgery on December 10, 2013... the first two weeks I felt great... but now I am nausea and vomiting, the doctors have tried several things but I still nausea even when I take the medication for it and vomiting every few days. I see my doctor tomorrow also and I am going to ask for a CT, ultra sound or endo scope to find out if something is happening which medication won't help. I talked with several forums and one lady said it has been 10 months and she still isn't doing great. I somewhat upset because I am not sure if I made the right decision to have the sleeve. I hope things are going to be ok.

At 3 days post op I was on Clear Liquids but i remember this feeling of being bloated almost. It was hard to drink what I was being asked to drink. I sipped like crazy for many weeks. Once you get to the pureed stage, you should start to feel a little different.

I am going to Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the Obesity Control Center. Where are you guys going? Are you as scared as I am?? I wish the next week and few days would fly by.

Immediately following surgery - drinking liquids / getting protein
ShellMilliner replied to debbie813's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't foget your shakes and broths count toward your 64 oz goal. But I'm 4 weeks out tomorrow and still usually only manage about 48 oz of water/day and about 65-75 grams of Protein. I'm a SADI so I require 80-100 grams/day. Some days you will find are easy than others. I don't beat myself up I do the best I can do day by day. -
I am a couple days shy of 4 months & around the week of Christmas I noticed that I was starting to feel hungry. Like go drink some more Water & feeling wasn't gone. I am at a little stall this week only down .6 of a pound but I am sure I have gained muscle because clothes are fitting looser then weeks prior. I am sticking well within my calorie allowance & eating acceptable foods for my program. Ie no intentional eating of carbs allowed until the start month 7 obviously some foods like yogurt innately contain carbs but you all get what I mean. I am also getting exercise in daily so just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Happy New Year to everyone????????

I'm just wondering if anyone knows why we have to crush our pills or open the capsules for the first 6 weeks. But after that we can take them normally? Was everyone else told the same thing? Do you know why? Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Are you still on omeprazole? the heartburn can mimic hunger but there is no way you are actually hungry. I had a kidney stone 3 weeks out and was having the worst stomach pains of my life.

My glue seemed to want to stick around forever! I think I still had incision glue clinging tight 6 weeks post. I picked the edges off and waited for the remaining glue to rub off "naturally".

Also will be having a drain that will be kept in for a week. I heard the drain itself is not too bad but getting it taken out is a bit of a doozy. My mom compared it to "getting a band-aid ripped off but it's on the inside". Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Took a couple of weeks for mine to be fully eradicated.. and yes, I had shoulder pain, too. You can take all the 'gas-x' /colic drops you like; walk around - I am of the humble opinion, it dissipates when it wants to... Sorry you're suffering. Hang on in there, try to keep mobile and it will go eventually...
-
My shoulder pain lasted about a week. Walking was the only thing that helped with the gas - and maybe like Reverie states above it was more relief from the gas pain than getting rid of the gas. It made me feel better.

I'm in the same boat. I think it's because my water intake is low. I've been on a stall for two months and then started logging my calories. I got down to 199 in April then shot back up to 209, got stuck there for two months and then finally lost 5 pounds just recently. I've been stuck here for about 2 weeks. By logging my water intake I noticed I'm barely getting in about 32 ounces or less. Hopefully something changes in the next few weeks.

Had RNY, no drain, just minimal if any pain, 6 little incisions and they are healing well , Precious Pouch 3 weeks old on Wednesday the 26th, she is tempermental, I am red-headed maybe she gets her stubbornness from Mama?

YIKES!! I had to have an complete unfill today I have been banded for almost 2yrs in June and I have lost almost 120lbs. But over the last week I had a very bad cold and lots of mucus. My band got really tight and I did a lot of throwing up and could not get anything down. So now I have to wait a few weeks to get a fill put back in. I am so scared!! I don't want to gain a lot of weight back. Other than that I LOVE my BAND

You just have to stay focussed, logically if you dont eat more than you were eating, you wont gain weight. We've ALL stuck to diets for a few weeks. I've been unfilled for five months, and I felt your fear, it kept me awake at nights knowing I'd have to unfill (for a surgery). But you know, I found after five years banded, I had changed my habits. The weight hasnt piled back on and I fill in the extra stomach space with loads of salad and fruit and vegies, I actually am eating much better. I eat larger volume but similar calories since with a tight band you do tend to eat mainly calorie dense foods high Protein and fat and not large quantities of fibrous low fat foods that are full of Water - the fruit, vegies etc. And whatever you do, keep exercising! I've played around in the past few months with starting Body Pump, but for my body, it just hasnt been a success - my weight and body remains under control best with an hour's run a day, I like cardio and strength training doesnt do a lot for me, although that goes against all common wisdom of today. I do pushups and squats and I'm strong, but if I reduce cardio for strength trianing, I just gain weight and get bigger (can feel it in my clothes). I'd say that in a situation like yours where keeping fat off is your main goal, focus on the cardio and do LOTS of it.

It doesn't hurt to revisit your goals and to go back to basics. Do you journal? Try writing out a list of what you can accomplish now that you couldn't do before surgery and what you still want to do. How is your life different? What do you want your life to look like? Another thing that helps me is to reward myself. I have chosen to schedule massages when I get to some significant milestones. It gives me something to look forward to. You may also want to consider making an appointment with your NUT to revisit your goals and/or attend some support group meetings. In the meantime. Follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and Water. Take your Vitamins and supplements as instructed. And, exercise.

I had my sleeve on 4/28. 10 days after surgery I hit a stall. Its been 3 weeks now and I have lost 1 pound in that time. I lost 27 pounds in the first 10 days. I know that is a lot for 1 month however when you can't eat much of anything and you exercise and its still not coming off it becomes very stressful. I know that lots of people go thru the same thing but it seems that for most of you it doesn't last this long. I'm having a very hard time staying positive. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, I stayed ahead of the pain. I had terrible pain that woul come and it would go all down hill from there. I still take few bites and eat every two hours at 4 weeks, lol.

Call your doctor. I got watery green diarrhea at 6 weeks post and it turned out to be a C. Diff infection. Took 6 weeks of antibiotics and finally a fecal transplant to get rid of. And if it's not an infection, your doctor can Rx a treatment plan. Long term diarrhea is never good and you can get dehydrated easily (I needed IV fluids 3 times when I had it)

UALAW08, good luck with your surgeries. My hubby and I were done same day on 11/26/13, and we believe it has been easier as we both are on the same agenda and meal plans. The surgeries and recoveries were smooth, and we support and compare notes daily. Our meals for the two of us are about 1/4 than one meal for one of us before. We still can't get over that for about three weeks we shared and egg. I'll be anxious to hear your progress. We do not have any regrets, and I hope you and hubby feel the same! F

Vsg'ers Can't Gain Weight Back As Fast As Gastric Bypass'ers?
MINI-Me replied to Ssilian's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Welcome to VST! I'm just over 2 years out & experienced my first gain since surgery over the holidays. I've never had a gastric bypass, but I know people who have. Of the three I know, all have gained back a substantial amount of weight. Mine was only 10 pounds, but it could easily have been more if I didn't recognize the issue and refuse to continue to eat junk. My best advice is to use the first year or so to really retrain yourself to eat "right". Allow yourself some small treats, but don't make them a habit. Learn to cook meat and protein in ways that are very healthy and satisfying. I am a HUGE chocolate freak & have virtually no ability to say no. Unfortunately, I feel very little restriction with candy & I can go through a lot before I feel "satisfied". I'm not saying this to discourage you. Just take advantage of your tool and learn how to eat the right way. We've spent so many years doing it wrong, it takes a while to get it right. And yes, I heard a lot of the same commnents. I reminded people that obese was obese and that I had failed on years of dieting. This was the best thing I've ever done for myself. My signature says that it saved my life - I really mean that. Again, welcome!
