2 Weeks Post Op. Down 13 Pounds



Recommended Posts

I had plication done Feb. 3 and today I have lost 13 pounds. I am feeling pretty good after 5 days of diareaha.Immodium was very helpful!I still do not feel any physical hunger so staying on a liquid diet is working well for me. I discovered 3 new Soups this week-v8 makes a brocolli Soup and a potato Soup. A local grocery store, HEB, has a great tortilla soup. Alos, when i go to a restaurant and ask for soup with mostly broth, the waitresses have been very obliging.

I hope all of you are doing well. I start back to work on Monday. I am taking Calcium and Vitamins daily and drinking at least 48 oz of Fluid.

I hope the worst is behind me and great weight loss is ahead!

You are doing great! I am 4 days post op and still have the diareaha. I'm still on liquids and really want nothing but cold beverages to drink. I am down 17 pounds from pre op weight.

I am 6 days out and down 20lbs 13lbs pre-op super exciting lol! I am still having bathroom issues lol meaning I visit it way to much. Today I think I felt hungry when I woke up so I made myself a slim fast shake and had about 3oz and that helped...I am having a hard time drinking enough because I am so used to taking big drinks and I have done it a couple of times scene surgery (that is not fun) So I tend to not drink at all......All of this is such a learning curve....I love hearing everybody's stories

I'm not sure what you guys are eating and drinking but may I recommend staying away from all dairy, and Protein Shakes in order to avoid getting diareaha. I was lactose intolerant before the surgery but I could stomach a little milk now and then and ice cream without any problems. After the plication, I was craving something sweet and decided to have a couple sips of a vanilla shake (it was only week 2). I had the worst explosive diareaha ever! Even ice cream makes me queasy now. I wont touch milk or ice cream anymore...cheese has been fine and I havent had any problems with my bowels since. I take gummi Calcium pills instead.

      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
