I'm on my 3rd week post op. I had to hid the scale because it was driving me crazy. I was weighing on a good day 208, then the next day 211 then 210. How could I possibly be gaining weight if I intake between 600-700 calories. I have a protein shake with 52 grams of protein eat eggs for breakfast as well as greek yougurt for lunch. Which allows me to get in all my protein. In addition, to 60 ounces of water now sometimes I don't get the full amount of water in or protein I can admit to that. It's just hard while working drinking and eating are the last things on my mind as well as after work I coach I may drink water during that time if I remember to bring some. Point being I really want to get over this hump and hit onderland please advise me of what to do. Thanks in Advance.

Bouncing between 208-211
Imlosing big replied to Imlosing big's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes I exercise I have a athletics period and I get out there and do what the girls do. I also joined the gym on Monday and have gone twice worked out minimal due to me only being out 3 weeks trying to wait for my 4 week date before i go to a class. -
I'm on my 3rd week and before I hid the scale I was bouncing between 208 and 211 how could it possibly be that I have gained weight when I only eat around 600-700 calories?

Mexico or Bust!!!

I can tell you from experience you're not going to want to lift anything for at least a week. Then after you start to heal you can increase the things you do. But I didn't do much around the house when I returned home because you still have stitches in and if you do something to strenuous you do feel the pain. So you want to take it easy that first week at least. And as far as lifting your daughter I wouldn't do that for 2 weeks. But you'll still be able to feed and change her when you get home you'll just need assistance with lifting. The pain is very minimal after two days of course right out of surgery you're in pain and all you want is pain meds and to sleep through it. Upon your departure you'll be fine I felt like my normal self I even did some yard work four days post op. I'm eating Soups only that's all I can stand. I would get someone to help me around the house for a week for sure. -
My husband hid the scale and I looked all over the house yesterday for it and couldn't find it. I can't wait to see the results I hope I'm not in the 3rd week stall stage. I'm barely getting 600-700 calories in trying hard to eat and drink more liquids.

I had my surgery with Dr. Almanza at Jerusalem hospital. I paid 4500 for the sleeve on 3-14-2011. The staff and doc were all wonderful. You stay one days in the hospital then you are moved to the guest house where you spend two days at with around the clock care. I went to Tijuana alone and i was fine coming and going back by myself. -

Wil I ever be able to eat and drink at the same time again?
Imlosing big replied to happy2behere's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Those of you who have not had the surgery don't fear if you do it once you will learn quickly how it's not a good idea to eat and drink at the same time. I drunk some water maybe 10 minutes after a meal once I was so bloated it felt like I was going to burst. It didn't take me long to realize that it wasn't a great idea. -
The scale was starting to controol me. I was at the point where I was weighing myself twice a day morning and night. I had my husband hide the scale from me. And I'll try to weight myself at my one month mark.

Gastric Sleeve Plication
Imlosing big replied to brownsugar's topic in Gastric Plication Surgery Forum
I had the sleeve done by Dr. Almanza. While I was there a gentleman did opt to get the plication. From what I was told the plication is a fairly new procedure but patients with the sleeve loose more weight than thos with the plication. He didn't appear to have any complications from his procedure as well. Good luck -
I took my stiches out yesterday and now my incision hurt. I never noticed them before now they feel as though they are really sore, which is weird to say the least. Can't wait to be under 200.... 10 more pounds to go....

Have you weighed in yet I'm dying to hear the number? With us being so close in weight and surgery day it will be nice to compare.

14 days post op and I feel good. Hunger pains have subsided thus far and I'm enjoying the full liquid diet. My incisions are still sore , but the weight is falling off. At the rate i'm losing I hope to be at goal on month four. 18lbs down in two weeks.

PROTEIN SHAKE QUESTIONS
Imlosing big replied to dcoates's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm consuming the Total Lean Shake they have them in three flavors, strawberry, chocalate, and vanilla. They are awesome from GNC. -
I was sleeved on the 14th with Dr. Almanza and on that very day he preformed surgery on 8 people. I was the last to go in. It seemed liked an eternity but with a massive amount of weight you can't wait to get rid of waiting hours was really a breeze when you look at the big picture.

I had my surgery on the 14th of March. The day after surgery I was so nauseous i could barely stand to be awake. I was throwing up blood as well as saliva. They gave me ice cubes and I through those up as well. I could hold nothing down if felt as though i was experiencing an awful hangover. So the dr. determined to put me back under and perform a endoscopic procedure to see if there was actual blockage. After this treatment i felt much better. I was then able to suck on ice chips which then progressed to tiny sips of water which caused a lot of pressure on my stomach which is why i sipped. After two days in the hospital I then went home. I have continued to walk and have not experiened any real pain. I have taken no pain medicine since leaving the hospital, no need for it. The gas is just unbearable after a meal. I feel deprived I have noticed smells I never use to notice before the surgery for instance while in the airport i couldn't help but notice the fries and oh how I longed to taste just one. I'm not hungry just have cravings for things. Anybody else experience this? I just finished planting flowers and a tree in the yard so i'm doing well. I've also managed to lose 11 lbs since surgery... I can't help but check my weight every morning.

4 Days post op and I must admit I;m having cravings for all kinds of foods. Could someone be real with me and tell me if you too had crravings even after surgery.And how did you cope. This liquid diet is killing me. I'm not eating much do to fear of horrific gas pains. So I'm taking it very slow. So far I've lost 8lbs.
-
I too had my surgery on the 14th how are you doing? I'm so scared to eat to much because I hate the feeling of the bloateness suddenly. I'm down 8 lbs since surgery.
