3 weeks post-Op ... before and after

[Paulaski 26]

Wow! The picture on the right is in loose clothing, so it does not clearly show her shape as well as the after picture. This site is to inform and share. I do not believe the nastiness. Sometimes we just need to ignor and let things go to be the bigger person. I am 12 days post op and 23 pounds down. I commend you working out that hard. You look great. Keep up the good work.

You are on a very low calorie diet 2 weeks before and after surgery. You don't think it's possible in some cases? I'm down 30 and it's only my 3rd day po opt.

Get your house in order cuz your not going to want to do much, stock up on every flavor you can of crystal light/ sugar free Water flavor cuz Water gets so boring. Im 6 days post op and I feel like in just full of water and pills all the time. Get Vitamins you like even if it cost a little more. Be prepared to sleep in a semi up right position. I still can't lay flat. It pulls on my incisions. I sleep on the couch. Buy those medicine 1 ounce cups. They have helped me keep track of my Fluid intake. Take a notebook to the hospital so you can write down questions that might come up and important thing you don't want to forget. Be prepared to sip water around the clock. This is the most annoying part to me. But it works. I get 64 oz of water and 90 grams of Protein a day by doing it. Be prepared to be exhausted for a while. Im still napping throughout the day. Start a stool softeners and or mirilax before surgery. If you never had a problem with Constipation you will now and if you have had a problem watch out because it will get worse for a little while. I think it's because of the narcotics. Research everything you can. The internet has some good stuff and YouTube. Hope some of this helped. It will be worth it!!!

Oh and be prepared to be hungry. I don't know if it happens to everyone but my hunger has not went away since my pre-op diet. I feel like I am starving all the time. I even wake up in the middle of the night starving.

I never imagined I would be. I can tell im starting to get very irritable. Warm tea and popsicles seem to be the only thing that im not super sick of. My next appointment is Jan 30 and my Dr will move me onto my next phase. It seems so far away. I can't wait.

I thought this app would be a positive haven for those who has and are attempting to embark on a new place in their life. I personally don't think that anyone has proof to say if someone's post is true or false. Instead we should be motivating each other and sharing information that could help us all as a team. I sure hope we find a more positive atmosphere going forward.

Disrespectful and Hurtful Posts are Forbidden

All posts must fit within BariatricPal’s guidelines for acceptable posts. Posts must be consistent with BariatricPal’s core beliefs.

• Weight loss surgery can be an effective tool to fight obesity.
• Our common goal is to fight obesity through a unified voice.
• No weight loss surgery is inherently better or worse than any other. Each has advantages, and each has disadvantages.

Some individuals are good candidates for one kind of surgery, and other individuals are better candidates for another kind of surgery.

• No individual is more or less deserving of weight loss and health because of a decision to get or not get weight loss surgery, or because of which type of weight loss surgery he or she chooses.
• BariatricPal serves as a place where anyone can ask questions about weight loss surgery without fear of ridicule.
• BariatricPal serves as a forum for open discussion and polite disagreement so that everyone can benefit.

Weight loss surgery “bashing” is absolutely prohibited. This include, but is not limited to, statements that a specific type of weight loss surgery is:

• Bad or wrong
• Easier than another type of weight loss surgery or “cheating” when someone is trying to lose weight
• Out of date or obsolete
• Doomed to failure

In addition, “bashing” of individuals is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, statements that a person is:

• Lazy for choosing one type of weight loss surgery over another
• Unprepared for or undeserving of weight loss surgery because of
• Deserving of complications or disappointing weight loss because of their choice of weight loss surgery

Violations of these rules and consequences will be determined at the sole discretion of BariatricPal and based on individual situations. They may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Editing or removal of the offensive post(s)
• Warning from BariatricPal staff or Forum Hosts to avoid such posts in the future
• Temporary suspension of membership
• Permanent removal of the member’s account

These guidelines do NOT forbid disagreement and candid discussions on BariatricPal. Members may discuss and defend their points of view in respectful manners. Please feel free to contact BariatricPal with any questions about these guidelines.

Remember that written communication is different from face-to-face communication. When you post a message on the discussion forum, send someone a text message, email, or private message, or meet in a chat room, a lot of the message is lost. When you are face-to-face with someone, you can use tone of voice, gestures, and expressions to help get your point across. These aids are lost when you communicate online. Your message can accidentally come across as harsh or rude. A good way to reduce accidental misunderstandings is to read your own message before posting it to see if there is any way that a reader could mistake its meaning in a negative way.
