Anyone else having surgery in April? Maybe we can find surgery twins here. I thought I could start it off by asking a few questions.

When is your surgery? April 4th
What kind of surgery? Revision from sleeve to Mini Gastric Bypass
Height? 5’8”
Starting weight? 285
Goal weight? 175

I would take feeling full anytime over feeling Ready to Puke, today there are Storm Clouds in my heart and I wonder if it will turn worse rapidly. Tried some Bran Buds this am, trying to add fiber in the hopes I will become more regular with #2. NOW WHAT?

I have trouble with the protein shakes as well. I bought the unflavored protein isolate (I like the isopure unflavored whey protein isolate) from Amazon. For 1 scoop, you get 25 g protein. You can add it to anything. Yogurt, soup, smoothie, cottage cheese... I sometimes make my own shake with 1 scoop protein, 8 Oz either skim, coconut, or almond milk, a little vanilla extract, a tsp cocoa, sweetener, and a couple ice cubes... Have to wait a few minutes for the foam to settle it, but the protein powder has no flavor or aftertaste. That is my go to rescue to get the protein in when I'm struggling.

I will have to try that!!

I went for my first post surgery run. It felt good, though I walked up the hills. I’m starting to feel more like myself again.

I’m on purées still, but can start introducing in some soft foods on Thursday. My fluids are going down better, as are my shakes, though I’m struggling to get my whole shake in since I went back to work.

My weightloss stalled for a week and a half. I’m glad I started running again, so that I can focus on progressing with that instead of being so emotionally tied to what the scale is doing.

i hope everyone is doing well, and seeing improvements each day in how they feel.

Evening All - Today is “2” weeks post RNY - I’m doing well most days - however I still get put out by the weird feeling when I don’t have enough water or Protein - you know the “Hazy” drunk feeling... or is it just me?? Just when I think I got this - I get that feeling and I just push my way through- walk - and I start feeling normal. The one thing that scary is when I’m picking up or washing dishes - and I get this burning pain on my left side - it scares me silly. But, I guess this too shall pass, and I just have to trust the process.
Praying all are well and staying g positive.

I was April 29!!

Hi cmedina_75;

my date was April 30th....How are you doing?

@lenore805 I am doing great!! No issues, I feel very lucky! How about you?

I had my surgery April 26. I’m on week three, soft foods, but he’ll little bit hungry. Does anybody else?

Soo very frustrated! I’m stuck for almost 2 weeks at the same weight, after losing 22 pounds since my surgery on April 3rd. What am I doing wrong??? Ok, maybe the water intake is a bit low but still... I eat lots of protein, take all my vitamins, eat around 700 calories per day and zero losing ? I feel very low energy, and exercising is very difficult, I can barely get through the day at work, and it’s more of an office job. Any hints?

We are surgery twins and I am stalled too. Very frustrating. I am on 800 calories and doing everything right too. I’m just trying to focus on the long-term because I know my tool will work in the long run. Hang in there and PM me anytime.

Had anyone traveled for work in pureed stage? I'm finding it super difficult to stay in purees. I've had to eat mashed potatoes or tuna and those are not on my list. I eat a very small amount and mostly drink my protein. I'm hopeful it hasn't ruined anything. I sent a note to my nutritionist. Just worried

I’m Aril 3rd too

I’m not losing much

I’ve stopped weighing as I’d only lost 9 pound in six weeks since surgery but I lost a lot pre op

just trusting what I’m doing is correct and hoping it will come off eventually

saw my surgeon yesterday and he’s very happy with me

I lost 8kg in the month prior to starting pre op

First day of Pre op weight 99kg

surgery date weight 90 kg

yesterday weight 84.6 kg

slow but sure

I have already lost 60 pounds before the weight-loss surgery, got stuck, and need to learn lose another 80 I guess. I am so ready for the challenge. I am having a hard time Feeling satisfied with my 500 cal. So I’m spreading the snacks out so that I have three meals and three snacks and I don’t have a lot of hunger I hope. Today is day one. Good luck everyone!
