Day 10 post op QUESTIONS



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 11/18, and I have lost something every day up until this Tuesday, my one week post op visit. I lost 10 lbs total in that first week.

I haven't lost anything in the three days since then. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Is this considered a stall? Isn't it weird to happen so early?

Also, I am sliming practically from the minute I wake up. I'm measuring my food and not feeling any pain. Any suggestions on how to reduce this?

thanks!

This happens to me regularly, so I only weigh once a week or I'd drive myself crazy.

For the sliming, I suggest taking small bites and eating more slowly. I think that would help.

IT happens to all of us. Some more than others. Everyone's different. Some people lose steadily and some lose a lot of weight and then stall. What matters is the overall in the end. Don't weigh yourself all the time or you;ll drive yourself crazy. As for the the slimming as Beaglelover says all you can do is take very small bites and try to notice if some foods cause it more than others. You'll find that you can't tolerate all the foods any more. Again it;s different for everyone. Good luck.

I stalled at 2 weeks post op for 12 days. Thus far, my weight loss has been a series of stalls where I sit at a weight for a week or few days then lose 3 or 4 lbs. I usually when I stall my measurements go down. So my measuring tape is easy handier than my scale.

Im two weeks three days after surgery. I've been the same weight the last two days. Ive been losing a pound a day since surgery. I was hoping to keep losing until exactly three weeks but i guess not lol. So the dreaded three week stall is here early. Hope it doesn't last long. How are the other November sleevers doing with the stall?

Yes i have stalled twice since my surgery on the 20th Nov. And when i did loose it was 2 to 3 pounds at once. Its kinda wierd , but i think its just your body adapting to everything that is changing with your body and eating habits...good luck! ;)

I'm two weeks one day out and have been going up and down the same pound or two for almost a week. I know it's related to being bloated though.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
