I had my sleeve surgery on March 30 and had to have an emergency Hemorrhoidectomy on April 7. I am on Lortab liquid every 4 hours and its making me sick. At this point I choose to be sick over being in pain. Hope it gets better for you soon. The thing I hate is that I have not lost a single pound in the past week. Being immobile sucks!!!

I had to have a major abscess removed surgically last week. The antibiotics are causing me to dump. Has anyone had this problem and did you find one that didn't cause dumping?

Changing Taste delays

I was forbidden from protein shakes after week 2. The doctor wants his patients to get protein from whole food. -
For the past few weeks I have been having "stuck" feelings with food and drink. Some hours are good and some are complete misery and it had gradually gotten worse by the day. I have been to my Dr twice for unfills and still cant get anything down. I just got back from having an upper gi and was told I'm having esophagus spasms thats preventing everything from going down. My surgeon has scheduled an appt this afternoon to remove all of my Fluid in my band. I'm completely miserable and sick of vomiting!! Not to mention starving and dying of thirst. Besides Soup broth, I had half a Protein drink and 5 oz Water all day yesterday. Nothing at all today except the barium they made me drink for the test! I've been vomiting barium for the past hour. Has anyone else experienced this or know what causes it? It had been 7 weeks since my last fill when this started. I did have almost 7cc and was fine...then bam! I'm so confused.

Fellow Sept 17Thish Sleevers
AngelBaby replied to newstart!'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 9-14-12. Pre-op: 262 lbs. Today: 230 lbs. I lost nothing pre op, I stalled for a week at week #3 then dropped a bunch.. now I seem to be stalled again LOL I track EVERYTHING in MFP because I figure I am just now (at age 38) learning how to eat healthy. I must have missed that day in kindergarten when they taught everyone else how to eat hahaha p.s. you can find me on MFP, angelsept19 -

Sooooo it's been a long road, I have lost weight gained it and then finally decided to get the sleeve, I am extremely nervous, I've never had surgery before so the feeling of not having control of my body is freakin me out!!! But I trust everything will come out well and im excited! I read on some forums that most had to do a 2 week liquid diet, my surgeon only advised me to do a liquid diet the day before I hope all will be well! But tomorrow 730am is the time!!! ???????????????? I look forward to starting a healthy lifestyle as a new sleever!! ✊

Yes. Just came off of one that lasted 2 weeks. Up, down, up, down. Frustrating, but if you stick with your plan, the weight will come off. Now I have lost 4 lbs in 3 days. That feels good!

Anyone else feeling completely drained?
Leslie41 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey all-- My surgery date was 10/10, so I am more than three weeks post-op. I have been progressing very well, except that I am feeling completely drained. Not tired, but just lacking any energy. I know I have to "give it time" because I just had major surgery, but I stayed home doing nothing for three weeks healing up, and even though I wasn't doing much--zero energy. One thing I haven't seen is anyone talking about severe caloric restriction and its impact on how post-surgery patients feel. Like I said, doing great, lost 25 pounds so far, and expect (hope) to lose another fifty. But I am not taking in more than 500-600 calories a day. My NUT says that even when I am totally healed up the max will be 900-1000. That's a starvation diet, really. I mean, I don't feel starving at all, just...no energy! Anyone experience this and get over it in time, or as you ate more? I'm hopeful. You can call me "Low Energy Leslie" -
expected weight loss
JitterbugPerfume replied to saramelie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started out with a 43 bmi, 42 on surgery day. I'm 3 ½ weeks out and have been losing about a pound a day. My friend, who had a similar height/weight (40 bmi on surgery day) lost most of her weight in the first 6 months, then got down to 115 by the time she was a year out. However, she had some plastic surgery to help her when she was 9 months out, so some of that weight loss is probably due to the removal if excess skin. I think your goal sounds realistic, as long as you are determined to stick to your plan. Good luck! -
RNY on Monday 12/14 some unexpected things
bugsy72 replied to Klolojadie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Klolojadie, congrats on your surgery. It's over! You're on the other side! : ) I was surprised by how much pain I was in right at first, too. But it goes away with each passing day. You'll see. I'm two weeks out now, and my middle section is a bit tender, but I quit pain syrup quite a while ago, even at night. As for fluids, I count everything i drink as Fluid. So my Protein shakes give me about 27 oz alone. I make a carnation instant Breakfast (low sugar) shake with milk and ice, and it grows to about 16 oz. Then the 11 oz bottle of Premier Protein gets me to 27. I usually drink two bottles of Fruit2-0 during the day. It's flavored Water, 16 oz ea, so that gets me to 59 ounces. Just a few ounces of other liquid like a little diluted juice puts me over 60. And that's how *I* get my fluids in! -

I was just sleeved on November 7, a week ago today. To date I have only lost 5 pounds since my surgery day. What has everyone else lost within their first week? For some reason I expected to lose a little bit more than just five in a week

So, I will be 5 weeks out on Tuesday 8/21. I have noticed that I have gained an appetite back..and I can eat anything I feel like I might want to try. (Still not eating fried or fast foods, though) I drink sweet tea. Water hurts and instantly nauseates me Crystal light burns my throat. I even feel like sometimes I over eat. I just feel like a huge failure right now. I'm super emotional and moody. I eat throughout the day, too..little bits at a time. Anyone else feel this way? And my scale is messed up, just bought it at Target and its totally off, even after setting it. So I don't know my weight. Ugh. I wanna cry All comments & feedback appreciated! Just don't be mean, please!

Surgeon Appointment Tomorrow
Hoven replied to Hoven's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The appointment went well. I know she answered my questions, but I'm a little stunned and can't remember. Stunned because when I sat with the admin folks to set an appointment for surgery, they asked if I wanted to so it April 15! I said yes. So, while I wanted to do this ASAP and get it over with, I'm stunned that its next week. I've been on their modified pre op diet for a couple of weeks. They said to continue that, so I'm good there. Just shocked that it came up so quickly. But pleased too. -
I was sick all last week and it was the only thing that would make me feel better. I say as long as you don't make it a habit and it helps Why not try it.

I wouldn't consider it a stall at a week. I've noticed over the last 2 years that it doesn't seem like stalls to me. I go through periods of up to 8 weeks with no weight loss and then I'll drop enough to make a big difference without really changing anything at all in diet or activity level. It's beginning to feel like a cyclic thing to me. I tend to look at it like my body is starting to store up nutrients and energy reserves and when the "tank" gets full it dumps more weight. I recently had about 5 weeks of weight loss where I dropped about 20 lbs. I don't especially expect to see any more for a month or two but who knows, I might. It's OK. One thing I'm really trying to do is listen to the needs of my body - not an easy thing to learn, I still struggle with that often. :-)

is this typical? NO restriction at all
n2bater72 replied to kplant's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was not even hungary for the first few days ( I was banded 12-18-08) Now a little past 2 weeks out the swelling has gone down in the stomach and I get a little hungary. I have not found anything I can not eat yet, but if I eat to fast I get a great deal of pressure in my upper stomach area...so I guess the band is there. I would not belive it if was not for the pressure. I have lost around 12 pounds my first 2 weeks. I now mainly eat the chicken in a can mixed with low fat mayo and/or mustard,all kinds of soups ( it is nice to get full on soup now), Yogurts and sugar free pudding and jello. also cooked brocolli. I have had some trouble with jello though. I feel uncomfortable after i eat itsometimes -

Children & surgery
1poundatatime replied to Sugarnspice's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you Berry78 for your encouraging words. I know I shouldn't be ashamed, after all I'm taking steps to improve my life and my health and my kids are a major motivator for the surgery. Obviously everyone can see I'm fat, but I've kept the battle internal all these years. I didn't let on that my weight bothered me or how much it is holding me back. So, coming out and telling my kids... and thus, everyone! Family, friends, other parents at the kids school, coworkers... makes me feel really vulnerable. I'm thinking an after the fact announcement might be the way to go. Then I don't have to hear the nay sayers and let them rattle my nerves pre-op, but the truth is out there! Our surgery dates are really close. I'm March 16. I've been taking my vitamins and am doing shooting for a big Protein, low carb prep until the pre-op officially starts two week prior to surgery. It's been going well! Down 10 lbs in just under 3 weeks How are you doing??
