Has anyone here NEVER had a stall?
Dansha replied to ozzy22's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am 6 weeks post op and I have not had a stall so far. {Knock on wood}. I am a heavy weight so that might be why I haven't had a stall yet. My surgeon's diet is centered around Protein and low carbs. Deb -
Hey girl. I am one of the peeps who carbs count is pretty low per my doc's instructions. My typical day's menu is Breakfast 1 large egg. Sometimes I can finish it sometimes not. Snack 1 Protein shake. lunch is 1 string cheese. Snack I Protein Shake. dinner is 1/4 to 1/2 of a cup of refried Beans. Sometimes I will eat fresh green beans with a little bit of lite butter. Plus I drink plenty of Water. As you can see my calories are low and carbs are really low. So far I have not had a stall. Grant you the last two weeks have been slower, but I have still lost weight. When I started my pre-op diet on Aug. 3 I was 304, now I am 245. food to me now has no taste and is something I would rather not deal with it.:thumbup: I am hoping this gets better as I remember food being pretty tasty. :thumbup1: Deb

As long as you continue to eat your protein you will lose the weight like you have never seen before.

How many days in hospital for vsg?
Dansha replied to blessedwithlove78's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My surgery was 7:30 in the morning and by the next day at 6:00 pm I was home. I felt good in the hospital and when I got home. I hardly used my pain meds once I got home. GOOD LUCK WITH THE BABIES!!!! Deb -
Best of luck to you and your mom. I look forward to your update. Deb

Closing in on 16 months post op
Dansha replied to Tiffykins's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Your stats are AWESOME. I can not see the pics tho. I too have used your name when I'm talking to peeps at work or at home about success stories. Tiffy, please keep up your no nonsense attitude and thank you for being an inspiration to all of us. When's your book coming out?? Deb P.S. I am a sucker for jewelry. Do you have a website?:thumbup1: -
If you look at the directions on the bottle the max. amount you can take in a 24 hour period is 10 oz which would be one bottle. Not sure why your surgeon would recommend you take two bottles. I would think that would be overkill.:thumbup1: When I drank my magnesium citrate the afternoon before surgery, I had been on my pre op diet for 2 weeks and I went to the bathroom a total of two times in a six hour timeframe. I just didn't have very much to give. LOL. Was there a time your surgeon wanted you take the magnesium? My doc wanted me to take it between 1 and 4 in the afternoon of the day before surgery. Good luck. Deb

Thanks sweetie. In April of this year I weight in at 321 pounds. WOW!!! I then decided to go to WW to jump start my weight loss until I could have my surgery. I went to WW from April to June and lost a total of 16 pounds. I have included all weight loss on my ticker from WW and my pre-op diet because I AM PROUD OF MYSELF. So if you take away the 16 pounds from the 71 it would be 55 pounds from the beginning of the pre-op diet which started Aug. 3rd. So, since Aug. 3rd, 50 days ago I have lost 55 pounds and NEVER to return. WOO HOO!!!!
Good luck to you Diva. Like I said before I'm sure you will be outstanding with your weight loss since you have had experience with the band.
Thanks, for all you do. You are very encouraging to everyone with your positive attiude. Keep up the good work:thumbup1:
