Two Weeks Out And Smack Into A Wall..
Red597 replied to oconnell's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep, I'm in the same boat. Just at 3 weeks out, and stalled at 25 lbs lost. But for some reason, I'm not stressed about it. I know that the scale will move again (why did that sound so ala Scarlett O'Hara?!) And I know that I'm not getting all of my protein or fluids in, but am working on it everyday. It's a process and a journey... -

Anybody able to eat chicken and rice casserole
LipstickLady replied to 1975hoss's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm three years out and rice makes me upchuck. Sometimes it's right away, sometimes it's 30-45 minutes later. I try a bite every few months but nope. -
Getting Enough Liquids In ? Help!
Alithinos replied to HattieSue's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was having the same problem at about 4 days out. I'm 9 days out now. Try adding 2 oz of apple juice (no sugar added) to 6 oz of water, and put some ice in it. I received this piece of advice from an ER nurse who had gastric bypass three years ago. I can tolerate it much more easily with the juice. The Propel Zero was way too sweet, and water was too heavy. The NUTs at Johns Hopkins said to try very cold things if you can't stomach room temp fluids. That also works better for me. Each day gets a bit better. -

Two Questions... I Should Already Know The Answer To.
gettingthere replied to sabrina140's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Scar tissue forms over the staple line so you can't see them anymore after it is healed. They stay in your body. My surgeon told me that minimum healing time was 8 weeks but it varies from person to person, that is why he doesn't allow solids until week 8. -
Much harder than I thought it would be!

Hi, I’m going to see my nutritionist and my surgeon for my six week check tomorrow so I’ll have a good chat with them and perhaps they can get me back on track! Thanks for your thoughts x -
Two weeks out from sleeve surgery
Debbi Moore posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 2 weeks out and my surgeon told me to move to soft food. Cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, chili and ground meats are some of the food I can have. I have no calorie goal or carb goal. What should I be aiming for? I dont want to mess this up. Just afraid to start real food. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app -
And just to add to that last post, I also had a lap band in for 3 and a half years, it was the worst three years of my life, I ended up extremely unhealthy, lacking in vital nutrition and was vomiting blood on a daily basis. They took the band of death out of me and then sleeved me three months later, I havent vomited once since being sleeved, I live on a very healthy and balanced diet, I dont have to be ruled by a peice of plastic, what can I eat today, what cant I eat today etc... I can now eat a healthy salad, that most banders cant eat without having painful Bping and it getting 'stuck'. I am not totally against the band though, I have some dear freinds that are banders, and they dont regret it, and it has somewhat helped them. Your post to me Hastings made me feel like utter crap. If you were aiming to make me feel unwelcome here as I am a sleever, then you have succeeded. Congratulations. Although I doubt anyone would care really. Carol.

Chinese, Mexican or Italian Food
worm2872 replied to tink65's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm three months out and have had a few pieces of pasta but that's all. I've had shredded chicken and a few bites of tortilla. I know a few people have eaten sushi pretty early on but I can't do rice and I'm afraid of raw fish at this point. :-). -
My surgery was 2/2... I have lost 29 since surgery 40 total. I had a 2 week stall during my first month, and now it's kind of slow going. I am not able to eat a lot and I forget and eat too fast STILL!

Plastics less than a year out?
Threetimesacharm replied to sid_n_reagans_mommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have experienced weight loss in the past and then went for plastic surgery before a year was out. I believe once your skin has stretched out and is lax/flabby it will not "improve" a year out so why wait. I am in the same boat now as you: I have 17 more pounds to lose and would like my surgery late spring. I am going to see a plastic surgeon next week. I think it is the best decision, we will be looking fantastic come summer!! I say go for it!! -
How much were you eating at 6 months post op?
JanetPRN replied to LynRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 7 months out and eat b/w 700 -900 cals a day. I eat mostly Protein foods, and very little carbs and approx 4-5 ozs per meal. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it is more than enough for me. If I want a cocktail, I have one; the same goes for dessert or Snacks. I do not deprive myself but I find that a bite satisfies me as much as a plateful. I seem to crave chicken daily and after I have it, I am good to go for a while. Quest bars are a "go to" food for me, I always have one stashed nearby. the weight loss is definitely slowing down, but it is still at 1 lb a week. -

After Surgery Question - Excess Skin and Port
caramia71 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am going for my consult in 2 weeks and am curious to find more information about the excess skin and port. Is there anyone who didn't need surgery to remove excess skin? I have about 100 pounds to lose and am worried that even if I lose it I'll still need surgery to remove the skin. And the port....how much restriction does that put on your daily living? Anything that you can't do that you could do before? My husband is a little freaked out about that. :eek: Thanks for any and all input! Carol -
Im getting my first fill tomorrow.
Mbrocato replied to LeslieR041906's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
:thumbup: what was the feeling after the fill when you ate? I already try and just stop when I am full and chew carefully etc. but I was curious because I am already not eating very much. Maybe I am still healing and it is sort of like having a fill. It has not yet been 4 weeks for me. -

taking medication(pills) after surgery
clk replied to thinbefore40's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am sure you'll be just fine if you start now! I started taking my pills at about two weeks post op and never had a single problem (other than a little nausea if I took my Vitamins before eating) though I admit that I never liked taking the Biotin pills because of the capsules. ~Cheri -
