My surgery was on January 4th. Also on day 4 at home. I had gastric bypass and am still a little bit sore. I’m so excited to start adding more than liquids back into my diet next week.

I totally googled it and realized I’ve had this before and loved it…just didn’t know what it was called. I’m def gonna make an attempt at this next week!

Are you a member of the polar bear club?
Guest replied to AnotherGuy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Let me preface this by saying I'm one of those crazy Scandinavians. We get put outside to sleep when we're babies, for hours, also in sub-zero temperatures. I love the cold, love sleeping in a bedroom so cold I can see my own breath. You just sleep so well. This didn't change while getting fat, obviously. Then, bariatric surgery happened. 1) Immediately. Had to change my bedroom temp from 40F to 78F. No, literally. 2) Yes. A week ago. 13 months out. Bedroom temp is down to 60F. 3) It's not just lack of insulation, but that's part of it. What you're experiencing now will get worse, and then it'll get better. 4) See above. Your body is busy with other things. -

I’m 12 weeks post op and have also been COLD recently. But is it because I’ve lost 55 lbs, or because it’s winter in Chicago?? 🤔 (probably both) sometimes I have to put on a hoody in my apartment and sleep with socks on. -

No Restriction - VSG to RNY
AB2B replied to 2badogs's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Interesting post. Happy you all shared. I have my revision from VSG to RNY bypass next week and I am so anxious to know how my body with adjust. I have terrible GERD now plus have gained and lost the same 30 pounds for 2 years. I had VSG in March 2017. -
Panniculectomy worth it?
catwoman7 replied to Writergirl's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
yes - lower body lifts are pretty painful. My arm lift and breast lift were much easier - but I think it has to do with the liposuction and muscle tightening they do with a lower body lift. I had to use a walker and a toilet seat riser for several days - and those first couple of nights were AWFUL. But....it does end, and in the end, the results were worth it (I had my LBL three years ago - and the arm & breast lift two years ago) -
I was told to wait at least 24 hours after I stopped taking pain pills, but I never took any pain pills (I had almost zero pain from the surgery). I think I waited about a week to drive, though. I didn't have much energy and slept a lot the first few days - plus I had my husband here to run errands for me.

1 month post-Op work out/Exercise?
catwoman7 replied to DaisyAndSunshine's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I went to water aerobics a lot that first year (I still do once or twice a week, but I went a lot more than that the first year. I have a bad hip so walking fast enough or far enough to get much benefit out of it is tough - and I was too heavy at the time to do much else). I think I "rode" the stationary bikes and seated ellipticals at the gym, too. Once I was about eight weeks out, I was cleared to do weights, so I added in the weight machines at the gym, too. -

For the Trackers: What's your diet been like the last 30 days?
GradyCat replied to ms.sss's topic in The Lounge
I don't have the premium version of My Fitness Pal so I can't see stuff like you can. Plus I just started Weight Watchers three weeks ago and it only tracks points. So this morning I was curious and I put my last several days of WW tracking into into My Fitness Pal and surprisingly my macros were really good. It's about 1100 calories/day. MFP showed that I'd get back into Onederland within the next couple of weeks, which is encouraging. I do enjoy tracking things. -
How to Break a Stall (Step by Step instructions)
GradyCat replied to GreenTealael's topic in The Lounge
These are HILARIOUS! Got a good chuckle out of them. I'm in a stall or a pause or something right now due to switching diet plans but I expected the slow-down during a transition like this. These made me laugh. -
1 month post-Op work out/Exercise?
GradyCat replied to DaisyAndSunshine's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I can't remember back to one month post op as it's been 3 years, but I do remember going to the gym and walking and doing the bike and cardio stuff. I didn't do weights for a while due to weight lifting restrictions and didn't want to pull my incision or affect my new stomach in any way. Now I go to the gym 7 days a week and do both strength-training as well as cardio. On good weather days I walk outside. On bad weather days like yesterday I use YouTube videos and do indoor exercises, walk in place, cardio, etc. I don't have any home gym equipment, so I mainly do cardio and floor exercises. I'm thinking about buying some dumbbells. It sounds like you've got the perfect set-up at home to do plenty of fitness things on your program. Good luck! -
I had VSG on a Wednesday morning and drove for 15minutes on the Saturday (airport to home), I had no need to drive after that for two weeks (covid quarantine for two weeks as I missed a deadline to return to my home state, not that I would have driven much in those couple of weeks if I hadn't been in quarantine). There was some mild discomfort but no more than sitting on the plane for a couple of hours. I felt a lot worse getting in and out of bed. I hadn't had any painkillers since the Thursday, though I did same some panadol on the Saturday for the plane flight. Follow your surgeon's instructions and go my your own comfort levels if you need longer than the recommended time until driving.

I never took the pain pills. Drove about two weeks later.

I work as a bartender, so I'm constantly moving and on the go. Like others have suggested always having a fluid source at an arms reach will be the constant visual reminder for you to drink. Sometimes its hard and I go an hour or so without taking a sip but it's getting easier as time goes on. Also, I usually have an assortment because my taste buds have definitely changed post surgery and can be a little picky so I typically have at least two if not three options (water with lemon, gatorade/crystal light/, maybe a tea/decaf coffee etc)

I didn't take pain pills once I was home from the hospital, I had sleeve, by the way, but the reason that I couldn't drive is because the seat belt rubbed on my incisions. I drove about a week after surgery.

Every surgeon is different. I was told a week if I remember correctly. I remember popping down to my grocery store mid week two & feeling wrecked when I got home. My concentration was pretty crappy, I got weary quickly & my blood pressure was very low so it may also depend upon your recovery & when you feel ok to drive.

Am I really gonna lose weight?
MelanatedQueen replied to Myrandalynn06's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Thanks @lizonaplane I’m in week 3 and couldn’t figure out why the scale stopped moving. It even went up two pounds and I’m only getting 500 calories a day. Glad to know it’s happens to others. -
My biggest challenge is shortness of breath post op. My gastric sleeve surgery was Dec. 22, 2021 and I started having shortness of breath with any type of movement about a week later. I’ve told my surgeon and I’ve gone to the ER. I had a chest x-ray, ekg and chest Ct scan. They all came back fine. No blood clots or fluid but the shortness of breath is not getting any better. If anyone has experienced this and can provide any suggestions please do. Thank you.

I am 6 weeks post op and am struggling with the same things! I keep my water right in front of me but if I’m drinking then I am not working (need two hands to type). So I haven’t been getting as much water since going back to work. Luckily I work from home so at least the bathroom trips aren’t an issue. I’m not sure how I would deal with that in an office…

November Surgery Buddies!!!
ForMyOhana replied to Tristenhilpert97's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm in nearly the same boat. Numbers are nearly the same as you except I'm hovering at 344 at this point. I've managed to start walking this week. I figured that if I had a good week with adding some walking, I might break through the plateau... nope. Nothing moved today. My goal is 328 by Feb 15, but I'm feeling like I won't quite make it unless this plateau breaks soon. I'm focusing on adding fiber to the diet in the form of supplements and salads. Anything to help me get "moving". Hoping the walks help with that too. -
November Surgery Buddies!!!
Spinoza replied to Tristenhilpert97's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Stall is over at last! I've lost 3lbs this week. I'm back! I suspect I'm going to be a slow loser but that was beyond a joke and I needed to see a loss again. How is everyone else doing? -
HEAVY Weightlifting is a GAME CHANGER Ladies!!! Pics included!
huskymama replied to Kat2013's topic in Fitness & Exercise
You look amazing!!! I can’t wait to be cleared to work out!!! I’m walking 2 miles a day and just over 2 weeks post op. This was so inspiring thank you for sharing it!!! -
Hey Guys! So I have a date (again), it's March 8th - meaning my 2 week "liquid" diet will start Feb 22. The short month of February makes me feel like I've been granted a shortcut somehow! Who else has a date for March??
