I Find The Operation Stupid



Recommended Posts

I don't understand why everyone's being so defensive. He was just asking a question and he's clearly frustrated because it's extremely difficult to change habbits. Everyone should calm down.

I can dring over 700 ml of orange juice a day but cant eat even a quarter of cheese burger because its uncomfortable. im loosing weight but cant eat normal !! its my 40 day and i just keep snaking and drinking juice this really sucks.

Sorry you're not happy with your surgery. Can you share what your surgeon's eating plan is at 40 days out? Does he/she say you should be able to eat a cheeseburger? I am 8 months out and still don't eat the bread on a burger but I can eat a 3 oz. patty with cheese. Maybe we can offer some alternatives that would fit with your eating plan.

What I find interesting is that this person won't state what his diet is, has already stated he wouldn't listen to his surgeon - he was just going to google it and be done - that's all he needs. Well, I guess you have gotten what you've prepared for. Too bad you didn't pay attention and still won't.

Can we maybe type in English? Forgive my ignorance, but WTF is: "El emoor bterja3 6abe3eya inshala intaw."

The OP is a troll. It is toying with all of us.

I finally had it when it said, "but when can I have my diet coke and cheese pannini?"

Cheeseburgers and Orange juice. Uh huh.

i am a medical student and dont need a doctor to tell me what to eat ,

Soooo.....if you don't need a doctor to tell you what to eat because you are a medical student and know as much or more than a doctor why would you seek feedback from a group of strangers on a forum?

Just need sympathy? Ok, ....sorry you are having trouble. Hope you find some way to cope with your stupid operation.

I tried to delete the last post I made. I failed. How do ya do it?

I think the OP was referring to me when he spoke of a "failed comedian".

Hey, I'll have you know that my wife laughs at all my jokes when she wants some new shoes. :P

I didnt say i wouldnt listen to my surgeon i said there is no point asking him what to eat because he isnt a NUT he does surgery thats why he is called a surgeon , food is easy to think of there is the healthy food and there is the junk food simple.And its a waste of time to post me this comment as its so useless to me and wouldnt help my situation. I find it funny that you have a sleeve master tag on your profile and you don't have any clue about ethical practice and psychological problems sleeve patients go through.

I saw some bird seed on the road and, despite my sleeve, I ate the whole pile. What a mistake! There were ball bearings in that seed and the coyote had a big magnet!! Luckily a truck ran over him before he could eat me. :rolleyes::D

This made me laugh so hard!

Hamany, I just read through your previous/other posts and can see a pattern. You don't really know much about diet after the sleeve. You jumped into chips and macaroni and got sick, I can see why. I think you need to go back to basics. I haven't been sleeved yet, but know - because of my doctor's plan and others on here - that mushies and liquids will be my main source of food for quite some time.

Obviously since you are afraid to eat but can swallow, you can do shakes. You should just try to push through it and start a sensible post-op diet. Regardless if your surgeon is a dietician or not, I am sure his/her post-op diet has been approved by one. They know best usually, they did go to school for 8+ years and do at least 4 years of residency. Listen to your doctor.

look , when i ate the macaroni i had the permission to eat it because i got a brochure from a NUT at hospital . The problem is that my body wasn't ready for it. I guess not all of us have the same diet plan , and about asking my doctor what to eat i mean come on ? cant you just roast a chicken with mashed potato's for god sake?

Circa got that tag by posting a lot and helping folks. She helped me psychologically and ethically by talking me out of eating my cats and turned me on instead to the taste of canned vanilla chipmunks. Yum.

The surgeons that do this operation are VERY aware of the diets. Most bariatric surgeons also have nutritionists on their staffs. Seriously, do we have to spell it out?

I also seriously doubt macaroni is on the list for bariatric patients. White Pasta is high in carbs is is mostly nutritionally devoid. I won't even do whole grain Pasta because of the high carbs.

chicken is fine, but where do you get the idea that mashed potatoes are good for us? They are fine for a recuperating sleever on mushies, but again, high carbs. Sweet potatoes are better.

We are not responsible for your neurosis. This place is full of kind people. The fact that people are still trying to advise you speaks to that. What gets people upset is when it become apparent that someone is trolling and is perhaps getting their rocks off over the attention.

I'm done.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
