I’ve seen someone might of thought i am scam or troll but no. Just will update with what happened over last 3 months since i had my operation maybe will repeat myself but feels like i need it... right i was 150kg and decided to have bypass operation paid went to surgeon one day all blood tests next day operation, couple of days in hospital, no proper diet plan all I knew it was purées then internal bleeding, hospital nobody found anything but it stoped and i was let to go home, then again i did not eat properly and new bleeding came out apparently with peritonitis and anostomosis so i had surgery to sew it up, then again third operation after third bleeding same thing, they sew it again. Now since operation on 8th of January i am in hospital, on liquids and very confused and weak they think i have cushing syndrome this is why all happening it is super confusing i sort of ok to text and speak with my mum who is always with my in hospital but something happening when someone else is asking me i am afraid of everything... so here we go.... long story short

Cushings is not a fun thing to have. President John Kennedy was afflicted with it, Nobody realized how it affected him at the time. @ipixie, you do have my prayers, I always pray for others, especially my Bari- friends and I do count you as one. Your troubles are more serious that me and my PICC line for nutrition, I know my doctors are gonna make ME better, but yours are still an unknown quantity, I'd hug you if I were there, try to make you feel better.

You've had a lot of bad luck. I hope everything turns around for you and you can get back to just focusing on weight loss. Get well soon!

Well still in hospital, still waiting for results wether they will find reason for having that cushing syndrome - they say if they will find it they will remove it and all be good, they say i am weak coz of it. From tomorrow liquid food finishes, i still don’t understand how to eat but just eating whatever they give in hospital that’s what dietician said. I don’t get quantity how much i can eat, and how much i will be able to eat? They say 200ml now but I don’t get how to measure, I don’t feel my stomach well like if it is full or not? If anyone in to sushi, how many you can eat... i mean that’s for later when i will be able to eat it? Can you stretch stomach to bigger? Or how does it works? I lost already 40kg from beginning.... all my muscles are down. Now i am working with rehabilitation lady to bring them back...

I am 73 days out and I ate sushi last night for my wife's birthday. I ate a total of four pieces, half a roll where I used to eat two entire rolls by myself. In 8-16 months I am sure I could eat an entire roll *if I wanted* but right now my desire to succeed out weighs my desire to eat and after getting the foamies a few times, I don't want that to happen in public so I am very careful. It is a learning experience and you need to take it slow and let your body heal. Internal (wet) incisions take longer to heal then outside skin and even longer for the scar tissue to reduce.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
