MAY 2013 POST-OP GROUP



Recommended Posts

I was at the mall yesterday with my kids and they were all hungry. Had to stop at the food court to grab a quick bite. I found a Chinese place and ordered some Bourbon chicken ( one of the only things not breaded). Ate a few bites and got a to go box. Within 15 minutes felt sick and started throwing up white foamy stuff. I have done this a few times before with food and drinks that don't agree with me. What is the cause of that?

I have had the foamies 3x. Twice from eating too fast, once from not chewing enough. But could be from grease. Have to completely avoid fried foods. Boy would I like some Chinese food though!

OMG....I just hit the 75 pounds lost mark. This feels amazing :P Also, I hit a weight, 350, that I haven't seen in 13 years. I was this weight back in 2000 and I can't believe it's been that long. I never went below this weight since but I so am now!!!!!!

Wow the emotions that are flowing are unexpected but feel great.

I hope everyone else is doing good :D

You look great :)

This past weekend I had to give in and buy a new pair of jeans. I am usually a 28W but now I am a 24 regular and even these ones are a little loose. Isn't it great when something like this just makes your day, heck it has made my year :D

I seem yo have stalled again. I know I need to increase my Protein (only getting about 60-65 daily). I have heard some say that they increased their calories to break a stall. My nut talks only about portion sizes and protein, carbs and sugars...not so much total calories. I am curious on average how many calories some of you are getting daily?

I get between 750-1000 calories per day, lower when I don't exercise, higher when I do. I quit weighing myself in June because I was losing so slow it was depressing me but I feel like I have done pretty well. Clothes are rapidly getting too large and I can see that I have a waist line which is thrilling.

I'm doing alright, as well. Stalling like nobody's business but I am very patient. I'll get there when it's intended.

Been a bit irresponsible with my Protein and Vitamin intake but trying to slap myself out of it. Other than that, eating normal foods but most days it's a chore.

Glad to hear y'all are doing well, tho!

I can't seem to get more than 400-500 calories a day with about 30 grams if Protein. Walking 2 miles daily and sometimes my calories are negative with the exercise. A slice of cheese is about all I can do at a sitting. I tried nuts but they don't agree with me. No shakes either. Nauseous at the thought of one. But I hit 60 pounds so I am happy down from solid size 24 to 18. Haven't weighed this weight in last 20 years. Feeling good!

I'm not sure how some of you can actually eat that many calories... I looked at my fitness pal and my usual calorie intake daily seems to be around 520-640. I'm doing well though. I'm down total of 63 lbs. I cannot do bread, chicken and a few others. My new pouch is very picky. Lol :). Hope your all doing well.

      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. 💜

      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!

        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. 💜
