If you graze, you gain. This past week, I grazed and I gained. 9 months after this journey began, I've learned that my relationship with food has not changed at all. When I'm around it, I'll eat. So I'm resolving to not be around is as much as possible. I'm embracing the fact that snacking is just not part of my life anymore. At least, that's the plan.

New here looking for advice
nssmia replied to somegal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good for you who in Mexico?. I'm researching Tijuana Bariatric Center with Dr Garcia. I was scheduled for this week. Then decided to wait and see if I can LOSE the 35# with weight watchers . At the end of April if I haven't lost 10 lb I'm seriously looking into the sleeve again sick of being fat. Good luck Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app -
Are you someplace cold? I COMPLETELY get what you're saying. I'm in Michigan and I really, truly believe the weather is getting the best of me. I've been in maintenance for four months--well, closer to five now actually, except for a little dip down into the 160's a couple weeks ago--and I just can not get my head back in the right place and stay there. All I want to do is sit in the computer room next to the space heater, or stay under a blanket. It's all I can do to make myself get up and do the dishes, let alone change into little clothes and go to the cold basement to get on the treadmill!! LOL... It's frustrating being so close to goal. The good news is that I have absolutely NO doubt that I'll get there and beyond. I know the weather's not a good excuse, but I really do think the cold and gray and yuck make it SO hard to get motivated!

Good for you for reacting quickly to a minor gain!! Compared to what you have presumably lost, losing five pounds is nothing. Are you maintaining a food log? If not, now is a great time to start. My Fitness Pal highly recommended if you don't have an app already. Set your app for losing a pound a week with the associated calorie goal. Follow your plan for a week and see what happens with your weight. If you lose, great. If you gain or stay the same, reduce your calorie goal by 100-200 calories a day. Follow your plan for a week and see what happens with your weight. You'll quickly be able to determine the calorie goal you need to maintain to lose the five pounds. It's easy and it works like a charm!!

Congratulations! Both of your numbers look just like mine and you have both lost 10 pounds in the first week or so. That is great. I meet with my surgeon on Monday and hopefully I will get my surgery date then. So exciting.

Pain when I twist or bend
Auroragirl4489 replied to MustangIrishgirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’m 2 weeks post op and still feel it if I twist or bend a certain way. It’s annoying at this point lol -
Hi guys! I am currently 6 weeks post op and began eating "regular" foods this week. My post OP diet was very strict. No meats, hardly any carbs or sugars...and now I've hit a stall. I was 345 at my highest weight...now I'm stuck at 307. Any tips on how to break a stall?? Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

It's a normal time to stall with the adjustments to real foods. You're doing everything right, you're just going to have to let it run its course and keep eating 600-800 calories and getting your protein and water in and wait.
-
Stalled here also at 6 weeks. They say it’s normal. Body adjusting I guess. Bet your losing inches instead! Hang in there
-
It wasn't until my sixth week before my pain subsided. Just keep walking and taking it easy. No heavy stuff yet. Best wishes! Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

These past two days I have been feeling hungry!!! Must remember to get cucumbers the week before my period! I basically ate two dinners tonight! I also need the sugar free popsicles! 7 days of eating like this and I could totally see some weight gain. Today I probably ate 2000 calories easy! I Only had high calorie foods! What low calorie foods pack a good punch in terms of volume?

I notice how many of you suffer with these headaches. I am not one thankfully but my DIL suffers terribly . She went to a new nurologist a few weeks ago. Did MRI and was clear, thank God. But he took her off of all chocolate and colas. She did it and headaches gone. When she does indulge she suffers so she has not done that often. Such a simple thing for her. I hope this can help some of you.

I was originally scheduled for surgery December 22nd of last year. It was denied at the last minute. I have a rescheduled tentative date for March 14th 2018. I am more hopeful. The plan is for the VSG. I should find out this week for sure if it'll happen then. The reason I was denied? My a1c was deemed to good(6.1%) and my other numbers were not bad enough. Despite the fact that I weigh 330 -/+ at any given time AND i've been that weight for a few years. I have tried in vain to lose weight. Well thanks to a few reasons(medication change and holiday eating) my a1c jumped to 7.2%. My blood pressure measures fairly high when I visit the surgeon. He, along with my other medical folks, were shocked I was denied. I think of it this way...I got the short straw that day. I was very upset but I do believe things happen, or not, for a reason. My surgeon really has fought for me to get approval, he and his staff have been really great. I just wanted to say hello again!

I had my first fill at 4 weeks, my second at 5 weeks. I was told it depended on if I felt I wasn't getting restriction or not. Good luck.

4-6 weeks here too!!

I'm so happy, I just had to give an update. I am 5 weeks post op as of tomorrow and up until Saturday I was really starting to question whether or not this surgery was a good thing for me. I can now happily say it is. I woke up on Saturday feeling great! The pains, the nausea, the overall YUK feeling seemed to of vanished overnight. I was feeling so bad the week prior that I went in to see my doctor and they rushed me in for a CT scan. Turns out everything was good with the sleeve, I was taking longer to heal and that last stitch, the big one they talk about was giving me all the pain. Every time I moved, stretched, sat, stood or did anything it hurt like hell. It would literally stop me in my tracks. Turns out I also had a kidney infection so a round of antibiotics knocked that out. I kept reading peoples posts here about having patience and that everyone is different and most were feeling great by week 3. I was confused, I just seemed to be feeling worse as the weeks went on. Well I can say now, just listen to your own body! I have felt great these past 3 days, no pain, full of energy, able to get all my pills, potions and liquids in and I am starting to lose weight again. I was so happy I jumped on the scale this morning and I am down 53.5lbs from the start of my journey. I am also so happy to be off the Clear Liquids. i did that for 3 weeks pre surgery and for 4 weeks post surgery. i have completely indulged in creamy Soups, yogurt and Jello this week! Just remember if you hit a wall, slow down, listen to your own body and just be patient ...... this is a great thing we are all doing.

What if I don't want to tell?
Babykakes78 replied to Bournetodo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I choose to only tell my Husband, Parents, siblings and closest friends. I figure it's **privileged** information so not everyone deserves to know. I discussed it with my Boss because I HAD to, as far as the other people at work, I'll be on vacation for 2 weeks. -
What if I don't want to tell?
TLW replied to Bournetodo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am also a teacher and missed the last two weeks of school for surgery. I told them that I was having a small bowel resection due to some stomach and digestive issues, both are true. I just did not tell them details or that it was WLS. -
I had one inserted while I was out and they took it out the next morning at 6am. It really wasn't that bad at all but I too was very nervous about it in the week leading up to surgery. I was pretty out of it after surgery due to the pain meds and anestesia, so it didn't bother me at all - I actually didn't even think about it.

I am scheduled with him in PVR on May 17. Good Luck next week. In so excited for you and can't wait until my day finally comes. Please post your experience here. I've reached him for awhile but there us not a whole lot. But so far I like what I hear. I'm thinking the price is the major reason for his low fan base. He is higher than most.

Stalls are like lovers. Your first will probably not be your last.

Hang in there! Try ice chips and if your doc allows, sprinkle flavored crystal light on it. I also ate lots of broth. Smithers is the best and I found it on Amazon. Popsicles - sugar free though. chocolate, sugar free Popsicles kept me sane my first week. Good luck! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Feeling Lonely, Shaky, Hungry And Scared
doglover replied to doglover's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks so much, guys. Just knowing you are out there is comforting! I was on Prevacid pre-surgery and I'm still on it - so I have the acid thing covered (or so I hope). My doc does 2 weeks Clear liquids, then 2 weeks full liquids, then soft foods, etc. I know this will be a hard part of the journey because, let's face it, clear liquids suck! Oh - and I misspoke. I did count the 3 shakes as part of the 64 ounces of liquids -
You're doing great with your Fluid intake. At 2 days I could hardly eat ice chips without that "gas pain". It is completely normal, and does get better with time. I am 2 weeks out now and I can take regular sips without pain. Good luck!

Unsupportive Mom :(
Dubai Scouser replied to Stacyc311's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I won't be telling my mum. We don't live in the same country so it will be easier for me to keep it a secret. I will be 13 weeks post op before I see her again and I'm hoping she will be happy that I have lost weight as she is my biggest critic.
