September surgeries!

[lorri716 256]

Are there any people out there who had surgery in September? I had mine September 1st. I feel like all the posts I see are Oct and Nov or people waiting to have surgery. I'd like to be able to keep in touch with some who are around the same post op as me.

Hi @@lorri716 I had surgery 29th September.

Had mine on September 15th. Very uneventful surgery and recovery. Have transitioned to regular food and still learning how to manage getting in all of the Protein, fluids and exercise needed to maximize results!

Congrats on your surgery reetz8 and shriner37. My surgery was uneventful as well. I am now on regular foods too and having a hard time getting in all my Proteins and Water as well. I am trying to be fully aware but sometimes life gets in the way ya know.

I had mine September 23rd. Everything has gone well. I almost never get all my fluids in, but am doing better on Protein. I've dropped one clothing size, which is wonderful since I still have all those clothes. I had my first bout of uncomfortable nausea yesterday. I think the culprit was this cornbake dish (like a cornbread pudding). I was at a chicken dinner fundraiser and the chicken was great. I should have stopped there. I tasted the mashed potatoes and the cornbake. 15 minutes later I was nauseous and uncomfortable. Live and learn!

I had my surgery on September 3rd. Everything has been good so far. No problems with protien, but really bad at getting all my Water in. On solid foods doing good on thise. I've found I can't tolerate sweet things, even fruits, or any nuts very well. Weightloss is slow, but the loss of inches is really noticeable.

Bossbug2009 I too am a slow loser. I've only lost 44lbs total from my highest weight. 30lbs since surgery day. Here are my stats.

Hw 260

Sw 246

I had mine 9/1 and I'm down 52 lbs since 1 week pre op but down 87lbs from my highest weight. I've dropped 2 pant sizes and around 2 shirt sizes. Highest weight 387 current weight 300

[lorri716 256]

Britt_lewis2011 congrats! You will be in the 200's probably tomorrow. I'm also down 2 pant sizes and 1 shirt size. It's a great feeling isn't it!

[britt_lewis2011 46]

Thank you! I really hope I am but trying not to get my hopes up. Just broke a 3 week stall so trying to stay positive. It is a great feeling! So good every week I fear the scale stopping.

[lorri716 256]

I've been stalling left and right. I don't ever get discouraged I just try to do better and cut out my carbs for a a day or so and the scale starts moving again.

[lorri716 256]

Bossbug2009 sweets and I are enemies regardless lol. I know I can have some here and there but I try not to. I do well with nuts but have not really eaten any fruits.

[bossbug2009 3]

Lorri716, I tried 1 bite of cake at my niece's birthday and was sick all night. Then I tried bananas and then strawberries, plain no sugar. And got the same reaction. I'm not a big sweet eater to begin with but fruit, now that's a disappointment.

What do you guys eat daily? Im struggling to eat enough protein!

[Joannaharris77 9]

I was sleeved on the 8th of September. I find my biggest challenge is getting the Water intake. Protein, I really have 2 shakes a day, plus I eat chicken, fish, tuna and plenty of nuts daily.
