2 week post op visit....



Recommended Posts

Well i guess technically it was almost 3 weeks but whatever! My dr. weighed me 2 months pre-op and I was at 344....well for my 2 week post op I was at 333!!!! So I've lost at least 11 lbs so far (I am sure I weighed more than that the day of surgery but I guess I should go by his official weight.) I am thrilled to be 11 lbs+ lighter!!!!!!! Just wanted to give you guys an update!! Oh yeah I go back in 4 weeks for my first fill!!! WOO HOOOO!!!:D:):(

Great job! I also waited 2 months for my first fill. I wanted to make sure that everything had healed well first. Is your energy level picking up yet?:D

Congrats on the loss and keep up the good work!

Are you going for a fill even if you're still losing weight? I've read in many places to only get a fill when the weight loss stops for greater than 3-4 weeks. I haven't been for a first fill yet either, and have been advised to be careful of getting scheduled fills regardless of physical status, so as not to overfill. I also find that I've tightened up some on my own since surgery 19 days ago. I didn't feel much restriction the first 2 weeks, but after my friend visited this month the restriction increased... but didn't decrease after...weird. Congrats again on the great results so far, it's a great feeling isn't it?

Thanks so much guys! Hope, yeah my energy is picking up, plus knowing i'm doing well makes me more motivated to get outside and walk walk walk. walked today for about an hour, nothing to stressful but got the ol' blood and heart pumping pretty good...gotta start somewhere right??

Pam it's so funny you say that my monthly "friend" is here and it's been difficult to eat much of anything the past couple of days...when normally baked potato wouldnt bother me the other day I had to stop halfway through...and for some reason I am having a harder time than normal with my Water...I'm getting MAYBE 40 oz a day in which i know I need more of and would help with the yucky bloating but the thought of it makes me ill almost...what I really want is MILK...oh it's like Heaven for some reason...anyone else ever get any odd cravings like that??

Michelle, the mushy stage has been the greatest thing ever since getting off those liquids!!! thought that torture would never ever end, LoL!! Mac and cheese and refried Beans and mashed potatoes are wonderful!!! Let me ask you guys a question though....is it ok or not ok to eat the skin on a baked potato? i went to wendy's to get one with cheese ( for Protein of course :) not that I love love love cheese) and didnt know if the skin was ok...

Thanks for all your support you are each becoming new editions to my family quite quickly! My mom said she felt like she was getting to know you all as well because i tell her of all of my great advice I get and support and how wonderful you guys are!!

Much love

Katie

Katie, I like milk too, and drink a glass every day (fat-free). I wouldn't eat the potato peeling, apple peeling, peach peeling, etc. They're pretty bad about getting "stuck" and you don't need that. Best of luck to you!:)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
