If you don't mind me asking, did you notice that you gained any weight from the fluids or anything?

My weight is down about 1.4kg (3.1 lbs) since Thursday morning (five days ago).

Wondering when I'll see my loss accelerate.

Hey Everyone

I am 7 days post op and I keep having bad spurts of motion sickness and dizziness. I am so completely miserable. Has anyone experienced this and know when it will stop? My meds aren't working


Sleeved 10/10/17 • HW 280 (3/1/17) • SW 259 (10/10) • GW 180 (TBD)

I am also 7 days postop. I have not had motion sickness or dizziness but my balance has been off. I attribute it to being older and having general anesthesia. It gets better day to day. I am 64. Don't know if I am right but that is what I thinkl

10 days post surgery. I am ready for some soft foods! Can not believe I have one more week to go! I am sick of Soups and shakes!

I am only 6 days post surgery and I feel the same way. I have definitely never been this jazzed to eventually eat an egg.

Luuuuuuuuv eggs! Can’t wait to incorporate them again and hope desperately that I’ll tolerate them.

Good for you. I am 5 days post surgery today and it has been a world of difference today. I got some Soup down, more Water and about 45 grams so far of Protein. Feel much better too. I am hoping this will flush out the fluids they filled me full of during hospital so my weight will go back to what it was day of surgery and start losing.


Same here. I was sleeved on 10/11/17, but I’m only getting about 40oz of fluids down.

I had my surgery 10/9/17 and had my first pre op appt today. Since the surgery I lost 14.2 pounds. I am starting phase 2 of the diet. Having a hard time getting enough fluids and Protein in. Healing good but had a reaction to the tape they used. My stomach is red all over. Dr. didn't seem concerned told me to take benadryl and follow up in a week. For everyone starting ore op diet hang in there lost 26 pounds so far between pre op and surgery.

Wow that's awesome! Good for you! I had bypass one day after you on the 10th and I have hardly lost anything since. I guess I am not getting in enough Protein and calories, but seems like I am sipping constantly.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
