Small Cheat Big Issues



Recommended Posts

I had a small empanada during my mushy stage- I did chew well and took my time, i was fine till later that night i felt my stomach distended and like a ball drop in side 2 times. I am very gurgly today and not real pain but discomfort and feel full although sticking to Clear Liquids today- or until this passes! I also know that I am constipated so buyi that milk of magnesia on way home. Anyone else misbehave like me? Please do not yell at me, I know I should have waited to eat that hard afood for another 2 weeks. Just want to know if all is lost...

I will play the food police for Dr Aguila's patients. Grider,I was looking forward to meeting you& recovering you after your lapband surgery ,however I started my Xmas vacation. I would have given advice from my experience as a lapband patient first, then as a nurse caring for his patients for the past 7 years! If you follow the rules you will be successful. If you don't, you set yourself up for failure! Get back on your post-op food guide & follow it for the 6 weeks!

Grider, food police again- no more juice after 1st week. You shouldn't be drinking milkshakes either!

HI, sorry I did not get to meet you - I did ask - The juice was cramberry mixed with gatorade, in the first week, I was explaining how I have kept all the rules until this one thing I stuck in my mouth. The milkshakes he said until 3rd week. I dont have any of those left, but Protein Powder. BUT you are very right, have to watch the P's & Q's. I did not tell people on my job I had wls surgery and I think I just wanted to participate in the whoo whoo, which we dont have often. My mistake. The body feels better since the milk of magnesia, little tug on my left side, maybe gas? and the back feels better like night and day, must have been Constipation? ?? I do wonder if my muscles are so soft in my tummy now, that things too loose in there, still have issues laying on side an stuff.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
