OMG, like real LIVE chickens and roosters? Does she live on a farm, lol?

Man, lunch was TOUGH today!!! I had 1/4 of tuna and got stuck and was sliming after just two bites! I stopped eating it, let the feeling pass, thankfully didn't PB. Then about an hour later I heated up 1/4 cup of turkey chili thinking that at least it's Protein even if it is a mushie...it took me about 20 minutes to eat maybe half of it and I kept feeling it in my esophagus like it wasn't wanting to go down. Finally I said screw it and dumped the rest out, then slimed AGAIN in the sink for about 10 minutes til it went away.

Now, about 1+ hour since the chili I'm having a small cup of cocoa for some protein and calories.

I was totally fine yesterday with no problems at all! I even snacked on some chips at the pool...but today I'm super tight. I didn't eat Breakfast cuz I slept in a bit and it wasn't a big deal to wait til lunch.

I'm hoping this is just temporary, I do NOT want to get an unfill. NICOLE--didn't you start out really tight on the last fill and even PB a bunch but then it loosened up on you?

This is SO weird! I'm drinking my hot cocoa and after every sip I take my tummy gurgles! My band is probably trying to thank me for giving it a break and not trying to shove solid Protein through the teeny tiny opening.

Not as tight as you chris.

Last fill.. i was fine for 2 weeks and then pbed probably 4 or 5 times in one week.. then was good and then the next week i lost 8lbs and then it loosened way up.. waited a week got my fill..

Then this fill, i had issues with tamale:( but after i got that out i was able to eat some chicken noodle Soup broth and then a couple bites of meat.< /p>

I havent had it where i continuously cant eat.

All i can say is try taking smaller bites i find when i do have issues its bigger bites.. i was even able to have some cinnamon roll today.. I hope you feel better soon.

AND yes REAL chickens, and no not on a farm.. she just loves chickens. Needless i didnt let him buy them lol. She liked the idea though lol.

That's so funny about the chickens!

Okay so I think the tuna fish may have been too dry, was trying to keep the cals down by doing less mayo but I think I'll just need to put a little more mayo and some mustard. I think I had pissed off my band and that's why maybe I had trouble with chili too...I was only eating about 3 Beans per bite! They were pretty tiny bites, and I waited about 3-5 min between each bite.

How the heck did you lose 8 lbs in a week? Were you not eating much? Exercising tons? Or just a lucky week? I want that to happen to me! Then I'd be in the 2-teens!!! :rolleyes:

Chris sounds familiar.............be careful girls!! I so know what it is like to try three different things for a meal before I gave up and ate soup!! LOL. (of course I slimed everything but the soup)

All I can say is watch it and if you do need an unfill do it sooner rather than later!! I waited to long so that is why I had to get some much out..........I really pissed off my band until the darn little hole swelled and closed up on me!! I wish I would have gone in a bit earlier to get an unfill and than it would have been no big deal.......probably just a tiny bit of Fluid.

You know me stubborn and don't like to ask for help unless I am SURE I need it!!

Don't be scared of unfills though. I just waited to long I am the exception to the rule..........LOL. ALways!!

I can eat to much. Now doing it out of wilpower but I could eat alot if I wanted to..............I am keeping it 1000 or under right now. Averaging about 800 but gonna switch it up today with the yogurt.

Ok back cleaning the house.........and yep I ate some frozen yogurt. I think we all saw that coming.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
