After two weeks liquid diet, surgery on Tuesday and a couple of days not being able to eat at all.... Today is the start of my pureed diet. I had 1/2 cup yogurt at breakfast. And lunch I had 2oz tuna and 2oz. Mixed veggies pureed. All I can say is canned tuna never tasted so good. I'm glad I can keep food down. Dr did fill me a little at the time of surgery so it does take about an half hour to 45 minutes to eat. The wait has been worth it. Also I got really sleepy after eating, anyone else experience this?

Tuna Never Tasted So Good.
Rita1576 replied to sassycass830's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
LOL, I had the same thing this week for my first pureed meal and I agree with you about the taste. It was my first real meal since July 30th! -
3 years out and dealing with regain
Tara2000 replied to kylynne's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am on this Facebook page which is very helpful! They call it 5 days pouch reset and they go back to beginning! Day 1- liquid liquid protein drink, day 2- smoothie protein day 3- purée protein 4- soft protein like eggs, ground turkey, 5- normal protein meal! Just go back to your post surgery rules, drink at least 64 oz water, take your vitamins, keep your carb below 50 gr per day! You will start to lose! And you can repeat as many times as you wish! They start this challenge every Monday for 5 days! Then many restart the next Monday again! Cut sugar, carb and fat and Focus on your protein! I am post op for 2 years and stopped losing at around 16 months out and was plateaued for couple of months! Just started this reset thing 2 weeks ago and after almost 6 months start to lose and 5,5 lb down in 10 days! -
And I have lost 30 pounds:) I have had no nausea at all, but I do one uncomfortable incision:( also my doctor has me in full liquids for 3 weeks to ensure my stomach heals and there are no complications. My biggest challenge is this mid morning slump I get? Afternoon I pick back up but between 11-2 I could sleep!?

3 years out and dealing with regain
BoosAngel replied to kylynne's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I would also love to look at and go by your dietary guidelines. I had gastric bypass in 2002. My surgeon was new and I was like the 6th 1 he done. As he put it we would learn together...that is no longer a option and at this moment I really need help with getting back on track. I also was told this week that diet pop was a big NO...he let us have it after 6 months out. Any and all help and advice is so greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you all. I feel like a failure because I have gained some of my weight back also. -
And yes, I said episodeS..as in plural... I got my 2nd fill yesterday, 2 1/2 cc's, and things were OK. I hate 5 1/2 cc's 2 weeks earlier that didn't affect me. Anyway, I stuck with liquids last night, no problems. I had egg beaters for Breakfast (maybe 2 - 2 1/2 oz) and, OH MY GOSH! Let's just say they weren't as tasty the 2nd time. Yes, slimy, yucky stuff came out... a few times... Mind you, this is at work...and in the garbage can at my desk. Thankfully, I'm not loud. Sooo, I played it safe & had some yogurt about 2 hours later because my stomach was growling at me. That went down OK. But, I was still hungry, so several hours later, since I didn't really have much in the way of Protein, I tried to have a Southbeach PB protein snack, which I've had in the past. Holy 2ND stuck episode people!!! Hey, you'd be proud as I made it to the ladies room this time. I know, impressive. WTH! Obviously, here it is dinner time, and I'm afraid to eat anything. Oh, I'm hungry! I know I need to suck down some protein in the very least. I don't want to read into this & think that I might need an unfill yet. The NP that did my 2nd fill yesterday said that she called this the OH CRAP fill because I'd be able to tell the difference from the 1st fill (which I couldn't notice). Um, yea! I'm going to journal what I eat tomorrow & see how things go. It could be that I ate too fast & didn't chew the eggs, or the PB snack enough. I have been known to inhale food in the past, so I'll be mindful of that. The other thing is that maybe I also need to space my food intake further out... wait longer to eat the next snack or meal. I'm going to keep an eye on this before I panic. I hope the newbies learn from this, in a good way. CHEW CHEW CHEW AND EAT SLOOOOOWLY (no, apparently I didn't learn from my 1st stuck episode a week ago).. "Honey, where's my protein drink!" xoxo everyone!

Any Arkansas Bandsters Out there
tagyourit replied to jdulac's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am from central arkansas. I am still two weeks out from being banded and getting excited. I am a bit nervous too. I have not heard about the walk but I will be out of town then anyways. nice to see other arkansas people on here. -
I love how we have the oppertunity to make any day a day for a fresh start. It doesn't have to be january 1 or even our birthday or anniversary. It can be a wednesday or a saturday or tomorrow or in 5 minutes. I have decided to take a fresh start with my weight loss. I am losing too slowly and it is due to my own lack of measureing my food and total lack of exercising. I can hardly believe how much in debt I am and I am still slacking aabout losing weight It is not that I dont want to lose weight ..I think I may be self sabotogoeing. Am I afraid to be thinner? Am I afraid to be healthy? What is it that won't let me lose? I try to tell myself that if harry wont go to thte gym with me that i shouldnt go but I NEED to go. I need to do this for myself. I need to make a difference in my own life before I can expect to in anyone else's. We are having a clothes swap tomorrow and I am scared as hell to get rid of my big clothes. What if i gain the weight back and I need them again? Then I will have to spend more money and get more clothes. Then part of me is excited to get rid of them so i can see my own progression. I started out in a size 26/28 now i am swimming in my 24's. My 22s fit but they have been tight as of late. I am frightened to try them on again. What if they are still too tight? What if I can never get into them? I need a fill. I am glad I am getting one on monday. I want to be so tight that i am restricted to liquids for at least two weeks. I need to stay on liquids for as long as I can after this fill. I want to catch up to a lady in my support group who had the surgery one day after me and she has already lost 67 pounds. I feel that i am getting left in the dirt. maybe that feeling of humiliation will motivate me to work out and eat less. i pray that God will provide that for me.

Today I have my last appt with the dr before my surgery. My surgery is next week, Feb 18. I am getting really excited and somewhat nervous. I hope, I hope that a few pounds have come off. I am so sick of protein shakes and jello I can barely stand it. Still getting one meal a day so that is what I look foward to.

March Gastric Bypass Friends?
Ellf replied to EspeciallyKK's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The bypass forum does have a March buddies thread, but I've got mine coming in two weeks. -
I skipped 1 week of mushy foods. I keep a food diary. I find I eat way less. I haven't had a full yet. Mainly been eating wraps and chili. High protein. Lost 25 pounds. I cannot do hamburgers. I cooked one and it got stuck. No craving for McDonalds and burger king anymore. The smell makes me nauseous. I'm hoping to start running next week.

I relocated across Australia 3 months ago, so I got my old dr to send a referal to a new dr here where I now live so I could get continued aftercare. My band has been loose for about a year, and there isn't much I can't eat. I very rarely get stuck. My band has felt looser and looser every month. Then about 3 weeks ago, it's like it 'disappeared'. I couldn't feel it at all. My appetite returned in full force and without restriction, I have been enjoying it a little too much . I gained 5 lbs in 3 weeks. So when I saw my new dr yesterday, I mentioned that I couldn't feel my band. He then decided to withdraw all the Fluid in my band, and found that I only have 6cc in it, when, according to my old dr's notes, I should have had 8.5cc in it. But because I still had fluid in it, I should still have some restriction, so he is concerned that I'm not feeling anything at all. He therefore suspects either I have a leak and have slowly lost any restriction I once had, or my band has eroded. He added another cc to my band, and lo and behold, I'm feeling something today. Only barely, mind you, but I can definitely feel my band again. So I'm hoping it means it's just a slow leak and not erosion after all. But either way, he's booked me for a gastroendoscopy next Tuesday so we can found out for sure what it is. So please, cross your fingers for me that it's not an erosion. P.S. In the meantime, I'm back on the wagon, exercising (which I'd already restarted recently) and now watching what I eat again. I intend to lose those 5lbs and maintain no matter what the outcome of the gastroendoscopy is. I have worked too damned hard to lose the weight to gain any of it back now. I've kept it off for 12 months with a loose band, I can do it now.

Very normal. Most of us stall at some point within the first 3 months. -
getting rid of too-big clothing
lmsrny5 replied to modDSer's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I haven’t gotten rid of anything yet. I’ve lost about 85 pounds so far. I did move some of them from my closet to the basement though! I bought new tops and a few new shorts to get me through summer. I will need new jeans for sure but I probably won’t consider buying a pair until it starts to get cool mid-sept where I live. I haven’t accepted I lost weight yet. It’s been almost 11 weeks since surgery and I really needed new sizes just 4 weeks ago. -
Lindata, what a scary experience, especially with a little one with you! So glad you are all OK!! Shalee, I've been following your PS thread. Glad you're feeling better! I made Thanksgiving dinner at my house for about 12 people. Even though I sent home leftovers with my guests, we still had a lot leftover. Too much stuffing, yams, and pie did not help my efforts this week.

Will I Ever Be Able to Bench Press Hard After I Heal From LapBand?
Foofy replied to frost1's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Frost, I just started going back to the gym again after 5 months off (three since surgery). I haven't had any problems. Of course, I probably lift less (being a woman in my 40s). Still, I bench 100 and leg press 275. I did hurt myself a little on the bicep curls. I didn't have my reading glasses on and used the 25 pound dumbbell insted of the 15 pounder. I thougt it was hard because I'd been gone so long. My mistake - ouch, ouch, ouch. But, no pain related to WLS. You will be tossing Iron around in a few months.... -
This morning I was 194 (up 2 pounds from last week), this is the first time since by band that I have had a weight gain. The scale has been stuck, not moved went down ¼ of a pound but at my offical Friday weigh in I never was more that the previouse week. I have had a few diviations from my “diet” the past week and am not as regular as I should be so I know it’s not a real weight gain but still I am disgusted. My brain understands all of the above but the scared part of my that worries that I will fail the band is stomping around saying I told you so ..why bother with all the pain, expense to just gain the weight back go eat something to make you feel better….i won’t listen to her I had Cereal for Breakfast, cup of vegatable Soup for lucnch and some nuts a little while ago as a afternoon snack….will have a normal dinner and try ti shut up the voices in my head……wonder if my screwed up relationship with food will ever be “normal”
