How Are You Feeling About Your Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery?



Recommended Posts

That's awesome...except I think I caught your stall, LOL! I've been stuck at 12 lbs for almost 5 days now. It is just two weeks today since the surgery, so overall I think the loss is ok, but I didn't want to stall so quickly.

I'm working on my third week post op. I lost 13 pounds the first two weeks and this week nothing. I'm worried I'm eatting too much. I'm keeping my calories at 900 but I'm still not losing the way I thought I would. I have had some days that I've fallen off the "eat heathy" plan but I track it all in fatsecret.com Since I have the band too I'm some what dissappointed that I'm not losing as fast as I thought I would. That is a lot of money to have this slow a progress. But again there are things that I can do to make this more of a success which is work out. I've been lazy on that account. I'll probably do better if I work out every day. I plan to work out tonight and every day after. Will keep every one updated. Wish me luck and success please.

My wife and I are having plication in less than a month. We are trying to hide this from everyone and take it to our graves. Will we be able to get away with it?

I only told my 3 closest friends. Everyone else including all of my family thinks I had hernia surgery. The recovery is similar as are the scars.

I am scheduled for surgery at the end of this month and it truly helps reading everybody's journey. I am super excited to have this new ”tool” to help in my weight loss journey, I used to think that people that had any kind of wls was taking the easy way out, but I have come to relize that is far from the case. I wish everyone all three best!!!!!

Tell them you are having hernia surgery. I tried to keep it to myself but slipped and told one person who told everyone. There is a lot of judgement, especially since I had it in Mexico!! Do what you need to do for yourselves. Good luck!

I am 6 days post op and have lost 7 pounds. I have low energy even though I am well hydrated. I have minimal burning and no naseua. I have diareaha today for some reason. I am drinking yogurt, eating broth, popsicles and drinking lots of gatorade. I have one Protein Shake a day. Working towards getting 2 down! I have no hunger pangs. I actually am enjoying the smell of other people's food and enjoy that almost as much as eating it!

I am looking forward to feeling like myself. Others tell me that is about day 8 or so. Good luck!

I had diareaha on the 6th day as well. I chalked it up to having only liquids for so many days along with so much medication. Also gatorade even on a full stomach can cause diareaha. That is great that you have already lost 7lbs. I gained 5 from surgery (which I guess is normal) and didn't start losing until the end of week 2.

I had to get a refill of the naseua medicine, about 3 days after my last does I was so nauseous I had to take a dramine and then called the doctor. This happened again a week later. I haven't had naseua in 3 days now.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
