Anyone for October 2020?



Recommended Posts

I am 16 days and 14 lbs too!

I started at 233. I think we are in the middle as far as weight loss goes. I've seen people lose more and less. I am happy with the 14 lbs as long as it continues! When you think about it, its almost 1 lbs a day, kinda crazy.

Two days post op and I'm back home now. Managing pain Ok. The worst pain I had was from the hiatal hernia repair that was done at the same time as the VSG. Wow ouch. It's still hard to take a deep breath. Now I'm just working on getting in enough Clear Liquids to stay hydrated, getting up to walk around, and trying to get some sleep. I can't seem to get comfortable in bed! Hope all the October folks are doing well!


Omg yes!!!! Still it feel different and hurts sometimes I have to keep remember I can’t drink or eat anything unless I am fully upright. Hopefully it will start to subside mine did about 6 days post op.

I am 16 days post op (Sleeve) I only lost 14lbs so far. I feel like my clothes are looser but the scale doesn't seem to move. Preop weight was 222. Triple zero greek yogurt for Breakfast 2 Protein Shakes and 1/2 cup of heart healthy pea Soup for dinner. I have been getting close to 32ozs of Water. What am I doing wrong??

Sent from my SM-N981U using BariatricPal mobile app

When I started this whole process I was at 230 day of surgery 222 current weight 208 dr was very happy and he said looks good. Once I start eating he said that the weight lost will be 1-2 lbs a week. For the next 6 month to one year.

Just had mine on Oct 26th!! 5 days post-op, I have been doing well on liquids, but I am lactose intolerant prior to surgery so shakes are next to impossible.. I've tried to force it and end up nauseated or a quick trip to the restroom.. I have ordered some Protein Soups and Gelatin from this website that will be here next week, hopefully can just suffer through until then!

I had mine on the 26th! Pretty good with pain - but shakes and liquids take forever to get down. I manage like 1 shake a day.

It does get easier to get them down as the days go on.....x

Hey everyone today is the last day of October I hope everyone is doing well! I had my sleeve done 10/13 . My beginning weight was 251, surgery weight 242, and current weight is 226

i move to soft foods in 2 days! Can’t wait to have ricotta bake, shredded chicken, and tuna salad :)

I also had a fuckboyectomy. I lost an additional 230 lbs of dead weight who wasn’t supportive *kanye shrug*

I had my 10/26 too. How's it going for you? So far I've completely dodged the gas pains.

I had the horrible gas pains and for the first 2 days post OP I was EXTREMELY nauseous and vomited pretty much all the time.. It was miserable! BUT! I have been on full liquid diet for 2 days, it's going good, but I do have a really hard time with Protein Shakes. I was lactose intolerant prior to surgery, so it's been near impossible to drink them and I've tried several. So right now I'm just trying to stay hydrated and eat what I can, and struggle through until I can start eating protein! So I have lost 5.7KG since Monday!

Good morning m, got a question. For those in the purée face. Is anyone else not going to the bathroom with #2. It’s day 2 for me. I’m not feeling bad or any pain I just need things moving. Has anyone added any tea or something else?

I’ve had some movement but it’s not routine. I’ve been drinking coffee even on the liquid phase. Have you tried some fruit purées? That might help.

      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!!
