2 weeks post op & Stomach bloated....
Coookies replied to prairiedawn's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Hi my stomach was the same way.. it's all of the swelling from the surgery and the bad news is that it can take up to 6 weeks to go down!!! Mine did... around the 6 to 7 week mark it finally went away... but the good news is that this is normal!!! You are doing great!! -
Thanks Everyone!!! @ Thinoneday-- Wow!! That is a LOT!! Awesome!! @ pyt1908--- I WISH!!! When i move back to the US this December that is what i'm hoping Santa will give me!! @ Kelly-- actually i downloaded them from http://torrentz.eu/ ... and i use Bit Torrent as my torrent program.. http://www.bittorrent.com/ its easy to use once you figure it out! .... if there was a walmart anywhere near me, i would pop in and buy all of Jillian Michaels dvds.. but alas there isn't..

so, i'm sooooo careful about charting my weight daily and looking back over the last 4 weeks i've realized that i lose the most on Sunday and Monday, which coincide with the huge amount of dancing i do on Saturday night into Sunday morning... but for the days i'm just walking... zip!! SO... from now on i'm going to forget about walking... it uses a lot of time for very few calories burned... instead i'm going to focus on higher intensity aerobic exercise!!!

That is soooo awesome!!! Good luck!!! I'm going to start Taekwondo and Kendo classes in July (i wanted to start this month, but my doctor said not until 3 months out!)... I'm soooooo excited too!!! as we say in Korea, Fighting!!!!! <--it means good luck!!

my doctor told me not to do any muscle work for 3 months... but i have been trying to tone the tons of muscle i already had from before... oh can i feel it when i do!! I think that's why my weight coming off so slowly.. burning fat but rebuilding muscle!!

Coookies replied to 1-4-Many's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i tried popcorn yesterday!! it was good...and i'm still alive! yay me!! FYI.. eat SLOWLY.. like 1 piece at a time and be sure not to drink!! other than burping more than i have since weeks 1 & 2 there were no side effects! -
spent 4 hours dancing tonight at a club.. yes i drink, but i have a 1 shot maximum
mostly i drink cranberry & sprite.. to pass off as cranberry/vodka tonics.. but tonight i poured water into my drink glass after i finished the drink and added a little kroger sf cranberry fitness mix.. and will be doing that in the future -
Well I did it, cheated my a** off today, 14 days post
Coookies replied to USMCwifeandTEACHER's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I totally agree that it is bad to rush the other stages!!!!!.. i'm 8 weeks post-op and i can barely get in 1/3 of a cup of soft food still... sometimes i even go back to full liquids after having trouble with a food (especially chicken breast--my nemesis)..denser foods MAYBE 1/4 cup if i'm lucky.. i think my sleeve capacity is quite small... which is good & bad in different ways -
1 Tbsp of peanut butter makes even the nastiest chocolate shake bearable.. dare i even say..Enjoyable!!
-
That's awesome!! Congrats!! about the sweets... after i try something sweet, i feel dizzy & nauseous and break out in a cold sweat... is it the same for you??

Coookies replied to 1-4-Many's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think you should be fine... I haven't tried popcorn yet, but i had a few sun chips the other day and if you chew well, they go down well... I imagine popcorn will be the same... I'm actually going to see Kungfu Panda this sunday and I'm going to try a little popcorn... I'm also going to put a small plastic bag in my purse just in case i hurl ... And what you said about feeling guilty... i don't think you should... eating a cookie or a hand full of popcorn every now and then will keep us from binging like we have in the past... Total deprivation is not the way to go... instead we should teach ourselves to have a cookie, enjoy it, and then move on... Several of the superwomen on here who've been sleeved over a year admit that they eat junkfood or Snacks every now and then... its normal for them.... so we should make it normal for us... new key word= moderation -
homemade chicken curry.. i have no idea how many carbs are in it, but i lost 1.3 pounds overnight, so its all good!!
