I'm now 3 weeks post op and all of my incisions have closed and look great, except one. The one across my belly button is taking FOREVER and it seems like the scab keeps getting knocked off while I sleep or while i'm doing everyday things during the day. It's not open-open, nothing is coming out of it, i'm just worried it's going to be pulled open somehow when the scab is off. Did anyone else have this issue?

Shortest surgery date from first visit/consultation
liveaboard15 replied to Loma's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you would need to call doctors in your area because none of us know where you live. Start calling bariatric centers that you insurance will accept to see if they can fit you in. for me from when i completed all my pre op testing to surgery date was about 3 weeks. ( I am in Florida) -

Grider replied to Happy Stylist's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Get busy doing something else. Change your daily routine. And drink water or zero cal drinks. Need to occupy your mind. Only 2 days that awesome - norm it’s 2 weeks. And you will be recouping after surgery so maybe not be as hungry for a while. But You must do this so you don’t hurt your tummy after. Think positive and if can get some one to talk to or hang out with - get them. Good luck 🍀!! -

Find out this week: May or June Surgery Date
Mariann812 replied to Mariann812's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are SO right…I just can’t wait to get this show on the road I guess. It will have to wait till school is out, though. We have only one day off in May, and that’s not enough. EOG’s are last week in May and they don’t end till June 8. I’m definitely looking at dates after that. I know you’re right…I’d be so stressed that I wouldn’t be able to get back to school immediately that it’s best I wait. -

Thank you! You are going in like less than 3 days! Best best wishes! I’m concerned about the potential for nausea. I can stand pretty much anything except being nauseous. 🤦🏻♀️ Good luck and I’ll be looking for you to give an update! -
Over night stay at hospital. Yay or nay
suzannethemom replied to Happy Stylist's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I HAD to stay overnight and it seems necessary because: #1 They need to make sure your vitals are stable #2 They need to replenish your fluids via IV #3 They need to administer anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory meds throughout the night #4 I had to have a UGI the following morning to make sure there were no leaks in my stomach -
Thanks everyone. I had cancelled my appointment as I was diagnosed with some food allergies. But my cardiologist this week said it would be a very good plan if I would at least start seeing them. He would really like me to be 100 pounds lighter. I haven’t told anyone I actually made the appointment and not sure I will.

Do yourself a favor and wait until school is out so that you won't rush back to work and rush and healing process. You'll be tired for a couple of weeks after surgery. -
Everybody loses weight at a different rate, so try not to compare yourself with others. Also, stalls are inevitable. It'll all work out.
-
you are probably in a stall. can last a couple weeks where you wont loose any. and its normal to gain or loose a pound. you cant be on that scale constantly. you will drive yourself crazy. Just keep at it.
-
its been 7.5 weeks since my surgery and I lost a total of 30 lbs. Within the last 2 days I have gained 1 lb so now im back at 29 lbs lost. is this normal? I feel so behind. I see so many people loosing so quickly and so much and I feel stuck. Most my weight was gone within 3 weeks and ive just been stalling. I know im not overeating so I dont get it. Thoughts?

My surgeon, who I have to say is very different to everyone else's it seems, says no counting: and only 3 rules 1. Eat healthy, high quality, whole foods. You know what they are. 2. Eat about a cup of solid food and listen to your body. 3. Don't drink with or 40 minutes after food. Are you doing all these things? Oh, and chin up. Don't get angry, get even.
-
1. Make sure you're eating solids. Things like yogurt and whatnot will just liquify in your stomach and flush through, thus leaving you hungry again. 2. Going along with point #1, don't drink anything during or after meals. Again, liquids will just push any food you eat through. 3. Are you eating a lot of fat? Doesn't take much oil, butter, cream, cheese, etc to get you up to 1400 in a hurry. 4. Follow your plan to a T. Three 25 minute meals, broken down nutritionally with solid foods without liquid. If you're doing this perfectly and your stomach's growling, then call your doctor's office. If your stomach doesn't feel empty, then you're not physically hungry. You're mentally hungry. Surgery's going to get rid of that for some, but for many, it won't. Try to distract yourself, and if you need to, find a therapist to talk to.

Yeah same here I was so enthusiastically waiting organised my job to be covered by someone else at the same time, so this gives me 3 weeks of no work but everything happens for a reason I guess, there's nothing I can do but wait, the bad part is the hospital staff said it could even be cancelled on the day of the rescheduled date, so anything can happen I remember my brother being ping-ponged and cancelled rescheduled 5 times before he had his kneecap surgery finalised and done!

Gastric sleeve post op gas
Esi replied to Jillianq's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I second the heating pad. Hospital wouldn’t let me use it till day 3 though! Salonpas and walking didn’t help. Gas-X helped slightly. It took 3-5 days for the pain to decrease. Horrible pain… worse than childbirth because that pain only lasted a couple hours before the epidural. -
Dr wanted me on liquid two weeks before, my dr is in Broward d county I live in miami, Fl nice to celebrate prior just had a margarita party with my girlfriends today to celebrate before the count down 🤗😂

Hi all, I'm scheduled for surgery May 3rd. I will begin my preop diet 1 week prior to my bypass surgery.
-
As @catwoman7 said dumping won’t be an issue but you may struggle swallowing the meds for a couple of days because of swelling from the surgery. Spread taking the meds out across the day if possible & only take one at a time until you don’t have any issues. I didn’t start taking my vitamins until towards the end of the first week because of swelling. Fortunately the only med I had that I had to take every day was my HRT & that is very small like the pill so was easy to swallow. All the best.

How much calcium??
Arabesque replied to SleeveToBypass2023's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Give your team a call so you know exactly what they recommend. I wasn’t advised to take additional calcium to what was already in the multi vitamin they recommended. My bone scan showed my bones were rock hard anyway & I was consuming way more calcium than I ever did before surgery. Before surgery maybe 3or 4 serves a week. After surgery about 3 serves a day. I wasn’t given a fibre recommendation either except to add a spoon of Benefibre or other non swelling fibre supplement every day to milk, yoghurt drink, rolled oats (instant at first from purée). I also tried to add some vegetables to my diet as soon as I could. Plus I was allowed fruit around month 3 (strawberries & watermelon were my favourites then mandarins & peeled apples as I was able). -
April 2022 Surgery Buddies
Goldengirl321 replied to Crinkles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats! I was sleeved on 4/19, had a two week liquid diet prior. The surgery itself went great, the gas pains after were no joke but walking and gas x helps a lot. I needed pain meds the first day and a half I was home I have been managing the pain with Tylenol since then. I found a heating pad helps a lot with abdominal pain. I don’t feel overly tired at all but I do feel hungry! I was able to go on soft foods today so I had 2 protein shakes and three 2oz meals. Also trying to get in all my liquids. Overall, very pleased. -
What are you eating during the pureed phase?!
imagineme replied to carpeediem's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am currently starting the puree stage and I've made a few things that I really enjoy and then freezed individual small portions using Souper Cubes. So far I've made chicken vegetable soup which consisted of homemade bone broth, zucchini, tomatoes, white beans, corn, fresh peas, carrots, onion, celery, fresh dill and fresh parsley. After it cooked I pureed it and it was so good! Had the texture of split pea but had amazing flavor. Tonight I roasted sweet potatoes and butternut squash and then pureed them. Tomorrow I plan on using the leftover sweet potatoes, butternut squash, onions, and bell peppers that I roasted tonight and putting them in a lentil soup and puree together. With those 3 meals I'm set for a few weeks anyways. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app -
April 2022 Surgery Buddies
Tina 2.0 replied to Crinkles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The hydration is so very important for energy and recovery. Just think every time you go pee you are flushing fat away that will never return. If you are able to have V-8 you can add unflavored Isopure to it for a whopping 25gm of quality protein. The protein is what we need to heal tissues and maintain muscle mass. I love to nap but I set an alarm so I can stay up on fluids. My RNY was 4-5-22. Each week has been better. Increasing my walks helped with my sluggish feeling. -

MissNicole replied to Crinkles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's been a struggle, to be honest. I've been feeling sluggish. All I want to do is sleep and stay away from everybody in my house when they eat food because I'm on the full liquid diet and very bored with it. It's been hard to make my hydration goal, but I think I'll make it tonight. I'm gonna do crystal light. I'm also struggling with the protein goal. I get half way to my protein goal by the end of the night. I walk for 20 minutes a day, but probably need to walk more. I'm trying to stay positive, but this week has been a real struggle. I hope next week gets better on the puree stage.
