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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
