May surgeries!

[michellej 2]

My surgery was May 28 and I am still drinking and eating clear liquid items. I have my follow up on Friday. I know we have to do the stages but I am kinda of ready to eat regular food. Just to have a taste of a good hamburger or a good chicken salad. I am just waiting until that day.

I am so with you on that!

I am so with you on that!

Looks like im not the only one that cant wait for food!! I still have 6 more weeks to go and im craving food badly!!! I dont want unhealthy stuff just nice veggies and chicken would be fine. Even a cracker and cheese.... Ive lost 11lb since the op on 27 may but im missing food very badly.. Is everyone else doing good?

Yea i am 5 weeks post op and mine aill gurgle.

As I read this my tummy is gurgling...lol post one week.

[Raymond Butterfield 0]

I am about 5 days out now, Feeling good, but worried about the fact that I do not feel full. How would I know if I have too much in my pouch? I am so worried to "leak". I am on Clear Liquids with Protein Shakes 3x a day. Today I felt very sad and angry though, because I couldn't actually eat food. I'm not hungry, but miss the feelings associated with eating.

I am one week out and just the other day I was thinking how some foods I ate just a week an half ago would be good, and whoaa I cant it that anymore, and it did make me sad thinking about all the different foods that I used to eat that I can no longer eat. But after the day went on I forgot about those foods and carried on. Got to remember we are now eating to be healthy and living to be happy. Good luck and shoot me a message anytime you want ok.

Mine was may 30th and I'm doing well. No complications and came home next day. Apart from Protein drinks I'm tolerating cream Soups well. Walking is getting easier. Can even sleep on my side a bit which is helping with the gas.

And speaking of sleeping.... Omg I'm sleeping more hours a day than I'm awake. I know my body needs it but I can't remember sleeping this much in my life.

Had my surgery also on May 30th. They have a routine of keeping patients a mininum of three days so got to get out on Sunday. Very glad to hear you are doing very well.

I had surgery on May 13, 2013. Doing ok finally.

HW 258 CW- 228.5 GW- 150-160. I have Lupus & RA so the exercise has been slow as I am having a glare up. Thanks

[Dawnolson 85]

I had surgery May 17th and I'm doing very well!! Im on soft foods. I think I've hit a stall. I've lost 12lbs since surgery and stayed the same for the last two days. I kind if did this before surgery too. I would stall out then a week later would loose and loose then stall out again. I guess that is going to be my pattern of loosing.

[Barbara 8]

Glad everyone is doing well & how exciting it is that we're finally on the losers bench!!!

Today I am officially 1 month post op. I went from 328lbs to 286lbs and for the last week have hit a stall & it's frustrating but some loss is better than nothing!

Barbra Its great to hear you are doing well! What have you been doing as far as exercise and eating. I'm 19 days out and I can't seem to lose more than 16 lbs

[Sharona 3]

Lost 20 lbs since surgery on May 14, came off fast at first (too fast to continue), slower now, but still losing. No more pain, sleeping on my side again and sometimes on my stomach. Almost on regular diet, just have to be careful, chew really well and take lots of time. Back to work after two weeks, I followed all the rules from the start and I really think it paid off. Here's to a new life! :-)

Surgery date May 14th 2013

I have RA as well. Exercising is difficult and very limiting. I have fi romyalgia as well.

Thanks! I've been doing a lot of walking on the treadmill when Im not @ school and you will hit lots of stalls. I was the same weight for like 2 weeks just FINALLY lost another 3lbs. You'll get the hang of it, Im almost 6 weeks out and still learning. I forget lots of things sometimes and get all frustrated and ma but I remember... baby steps. You lose it!

I needed to hear that, too, thank you! I feared the dreaded stall, and guess what? It's happening, been over 1 week now . I know I should do more, but energy is low. I find the head hunger starts up the longer the scale is stalled....kinda like before surgery. I would tell myself, " aw, you're not doing this, so what does it matter?" That evil thinking is what caused me the weight gain to begin with. I DO NOT want to mess up this time.
