First time with foamies/frothing
catwoman7 replied to shriner37's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
yes, they do. A lot of people have issues with various foods the first few weeks (and sometimes the first few months) post-op. Eggs, dairy, dry meats (like a dry chicken breast) are all common culprits. For most of us, we can eventually eat all of these again. -
What are you eating during the pureed phase?!
carpeediem posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello all! I'm in the pureed phase for ten more days, and I'm curious about what everyone else is eating. I've tried the ricotta bake, and I wasn't a huge fan. I made cauliflower soup which I love but can't eat anymore this week. Ha. I've mostly just been eating yogurt, thinned-out refried beans, smoothies, and jello. I don't know if my taste buds have changed, but nothing tastes very appealing anymore. I am not eating much, but I know I'm still on track with weight loss because I'm down 16 lbs. -

Oh, that’s awesome. That you had someone close that did it. I have a friend that did it years ago and she told me that this was the best decision she ever made. I’m meeting with her sometime next week for tips and things like that. I’m so excited!! -

I only work 2 days out of the week from home. I’m taking of the day of the surgery (of course) and the week after. And then going back to the office. Let’s see how that works 🤞🏼 -

Yea, I was given the option for 4 weeks off, but i need to be busy or else I think I will struggle mentally so I’m going to go back after 2, unless I really feel bad then I’ll take more time. I got the binder pretty cheap on Amazon I figure that I would rather have it on hand even though I may not use it. I’m getting excited!! -

I work from home but was given clearance for three weeks off. I am going to take the full time to focus on me and establishing a good daily routine. Thanks for the reminder about the binder. My surgeon doesn't require them but I have one from a hernia surgery. I think I will get it out just in case. Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app -
April 2022 Surgery Buddies
Goldengirl321 replied to Crinkles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good idea about the appointments. I will schedule a hair cut soon. I’m scheduled for VSG 4/19, 2 week liquid diet prior. I purchased all my vitamins, abdominal binder, broth, jello, protein shakes, etc.. I bought silicone popsicle molds from Amazon and I plan on making my own sugar free ices. I am taking the surgery week off from work and working from home the 2nd week. -

I'm one day before you April 6 and was just given my surgery time. 3 days liquid diet for me with eight days of 1000 calories. I've ordered my vitamins. Bought broths, jello and such already. Trying to get myself mentally and physically prepared. I'm also having the gastric sleeve. I've taken my before measurements and pictures too. Also got appointments out of the way. dentist, eye exam, hair cut, etc... Yes, I am a planner. [emoji23] Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app -
I am 4 1/2 weeks out from a sleeve to RNY conversion due to hiatal hernia and GERD. During the 7 years I was sleeved I never encountered any issues of foods I couldn't eat except for carbonation. Last evening I had around 2.5 ounces of beef brisket, which is listed by my NUT as being something that is allowed at this stage of recovery. Within an hour I was feeling miserable, with fullness, high chest pain, and major discomfort. I originally just thought i ate a bite or two too much, but soon began to have my first experience with frothing (or foamies as it's called on here). It was not a pleasant experience. I am hopeful this was just because the brisket was too dry or too firm for this stage of my recovery. As a person who owns a smoker and frequently prepares BBQ brisket it would be pretty devastating if this was no longer a food I could tolerate. Does tolerance for dry or firm foods get better over time after an RNY?

I'm having surgery on Thursday and my head is so full of a variety of emotions; excitement, nervousness, worry etc. Anyone feeling the same? Sent from my SM-G980F using BariatricPal mobile app -
I was told I was Diabetic in the June before November Surgery. I said I would hold off taking medication for it until I had blood tests 3 months after my surgery. I am no longer Diabetic. I feel so much more energised.

Symptoms of Vitamin Deficiency
summerseeker replied to SoCalEm's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Yes I have had this. I was so nauseated in the first weeks after surgery it was pointless taking extra tablets. The gummy vitamins seemed to make me more sickly and the soluble Calcium just would not go down. My dietician said ' just leave them for a while, you should have good enough stocks in your body to last you for a few weeks' I bought supermarket brand vitamins with iron [ I take 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening] and chewable Calcium and I have them after food. It is working for me. The tiredness is because you have had surgery and you need to take Nana naps if you need them. Some ladies find their emotions all over the place too, I did and I am way past menopause. Its strange what this surgery can do, I am still so glad I did it though. -

Congrats! You are very lucky to only have to do it for 2 days. My surgery is on April 4th and my liquid diet starts tomorrow March 21st. Gonna go to the store today and pick up the rest of what I’ll need so I don’t have to go shopping the whole 2 weeks. -
Post op food- Low carb wraps
cheryl o replied to fourmonthspreop's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
when you try the wraps, pls update. I had my RNY Nov 1, 2021, and yesterday i had a wrap from subway, had it cut in 3 pieces, and all i could eat was one part, because of the pain. I also had on friday 5 pieces of chicken wings and puked it up. I hate the pain and still feel safe with liquids. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app -

Question for those who have flat feet/pronation
heck replied to heck's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for the quick responses! I've been wearing orthotics since I was young, so I don't expect that to ever go away, but my feet definitely got worse over the years with more weight gain, especially in the last 3 years it became so painful to walk for longer than 20 minutes without massive aching in my arches and feet, and of course the fun bonuses that go with it like shin splints, tight tendons, and knee pain! I'm just hoping some of those symtpoms go away with the weight loss. I've got some good ASICS now that have taken me a long time to 'break in', my feet still get sore no matter what I wear after a certain period, but at least I know that it should improve a bit and that I'm wearing good shoes and have proper orthotics. I'll see how I go later down the track when I've lost some weight! -
Hello! I’m about 6 weeks post op and have been really bad about taking both my multi chewable and calcium vitamins. It’s honestly been close to two weeks now, and I’m feeling very off. Tired, not able to focus much, loopy. I started taking them again three days ago but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing?

Questions about weight gain due to SSRI’s like Paxil before surgery…HELP!
nimaro replied to Renske's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was sleeved 9 years ago. I lost 110kg over the first 2 years and maintained weight at 67kg for 3 years. Then, I was put on ssri and anti psychotic meds and gained 10 kilos in the first 3 weeks. I went on to gain back 70 kilos of what I lost over the last few years. My psyc. put me on metformin to minimise the weight gain (even though I’m not diabetic) and my weight stopped going up for about the last year now. I have just come back to the community today as I recently committed to losing this weight again. I’m pleased to hear a previous comment here that says that people have lost weight on mental health meds successfully, I’m on the wagon and going for goal. -
a lot of people seem to have trouble with eggs the first few weeks. If they're not "working" for you, wait and try them again later.

Food Before and After Photos
kristieshannon replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
More soup for me. Today I challenged myself to find everything to make a pot at the Portland State University farmer’s market. The only things I added from my pantry were chicken stock and salt & pepper. I found at the market: Rainbow chard, butternut squash, wild mushrooms, shallots, garlic, rainbow carrots, thyme, rosemary, and organic free range chicken thighs. This will make a week’s work of lunches. -

Pain after surgery
carpeediem replied to Sulynfan22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes!! I'm two weeks post-op and I started having a horrible pain on my right side. -
Hello, I am in the process of scheduling bariatric surgery. I had to do an at home sleep study which returned confirmed sleep apnea. I was requested to meet with a pulmonologist which I did. He put ina request for a CPAP machine but said there are delays getting them at the current moment so it could be months. Could this delay my surgery? I know what the CPAP machine is for, but do you need to be on it for a specific time ahead off surgery? I was really hoping to schedule surgery following my blood panel and EKG next week. Thank you!
