6 months post OP and I'm kinda stuck in the process



Recommended Posts

@ Dub, I'm telling you now I know you can do it as long as you can so please don't be discouraged yourself but it will give your body time to adjust before it gets used.

I have had the exact same experience for few months. My WLS was on April 14, 2015, and my weight was 403 before my surgery.

I was struggling to meet the requirements last few months then my weight was stalled temporarily when I was unable to lose weight because I thought about going back to old bad habit again. After that I'd been fighting with my demons for quite some time and I have been seeing my dietician when complaining about my struggles so she puts me on strict 600-800 calories diet. Finally I lose some unwanted weight and my weight is now 261, but I know it's not easy to follow the restrictions.

But still you can do it. I'm highly recommended you talks to your Bariatric Doctor, NUT, or dietician about your struggles ASAP.

Did you record any food intakes into your log book?

How much grams of carbs/sugars they recommends you to eat?

Did they tell you that you can drink Decaf coffee instead of regular coffee so that your sleeved stomach can tolerate?

Something like that you will be able to follow your restrictions if possible.

I wasn't told exactly to take Vitamins so haven't been doing that very much. I'm gonna look some up and start that

Definitely. When you have your six-month follow-up it should include a blood test to check your Vitamin levels.

What is your Protein target? Are you reaching that daily?

Protein target is 80-100 grams daily. But when I get to about 50 I have a full feeling. It's not fun so I don't force myself to eat. Plus I drink about 130-140 oz of Water daily. Try my best to at least. I'll talk to them about that tho. Thank you

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
