    Wondering: Is it a misconception that the heavier you are the quicker the weight comes off?

    Thanking God for a "painfree" day. I slept on my stomach last night--woke up in amazement there was no pain. Blessings2u

    Gas X Strips

    bjstrans4mation replied to lilymorg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I took a couple of strips while in the hospital and a few since coming home mostly when I felt a little gassy. Blessings2u--bj

    #2 Please Help

    bjstrans4mation replied to KASA's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    It took me 2 days after getting out of the hospital (so on day 6 after surgery).......perhaps all bodies are different. I put a little benefiber power in my soup a few days ago and it made me go so much it scared me. I think from this point on, I'm going to let mother nature take its course-------unless I really have to take drastic measures. Blessings2u--bj

    almost 3 weeks out and I want to eat cheese sticks----when did you have them?

  6. bjstrans4mation
    I am 11 days out and I'm hardly getting in any protein. I tried a shake I loved prior to surgery, but now...it is awful!. I have tasteless unjury and I put a little in my broth and applesauce, but that's not much. I tried a powered shake and it comes across as being very thick.....which also turns me off. I know it's only almost 2 weeks, but I am feeling a little week, so I know I've got to figure this out. Perhaps during my week 3 once I can have eggs, all will be right with the world. I'm also looking forward to having grits with a little unjury added. Like I keep saying, this is really a process. Blessings2u--bj

    OMG!!! I had the slimmies today for the first time. I think it was my vitimines. I have bariaric chewables, but I think I took them too early in the morning. This has never been an issue before, but trust me, it won't happen again. Learning on this journey is a process. Blessings2u--BJ

    At the starting...line?

    bjstrans4mation commented on Fireflyx's blog entry in To Live is to Expierence.

    Congratulations! I was sleeved Nov 9th. The best decision I ever made (short of marrying my husband). I too did major research, mostly via YouTube and that's where I found my confidence to move forward. I have no regrets---only that I wish I had done it sooner. Blessing2u--bj

    Is it possible to stretch your new stomach?

    bjstrans4mation commented on Maddy's blog entry in Maddy's Blog

    I had my 1st post-op surgeon's visit yesterday. My surgeon mentioned that our pouches will stretch over time. The thing we have to do is be portion conscience. He said in the beginning since we are healing of course it's small, put as we go through our stages, the stretching occurs. We just must to clear on how much we are eating---1st protein, 2nd veggies and last starch. If we stay full, then we won't stretch. Blessings2u--bj

    Bless right now in the name of Jesus. Touch the mind and hands of each surgeon, nurse and caretaker. Allow no hurt, harm or danger to come to my friend. I pray for minimal pain, minimal gas and no mishaps. She will return home as scheduled, and her recovery will be an easy one. In the name of Jesus I pray. Blessings2u--BJ

    I am the only one??

    bjstrans4mation replied to FishingNurse's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    This is a great post. I'm 8 days out and of course I'm limited to water/crystal light and broths. Today however, I've been released to yogurt, applesauce...things like that. My taste buds are so sensitive and so is my sense of smell. I'm beginning to hate the taste of splenda----but for the next month, I'm following the plan set for me. Failing this tool is not an option. Blessings2u--BJ

    Congratuations!!! I was also sleeved on Nov 9th! Came home from the hospital today. Feeling pretty good----the worst thing going on right now is that I can feel everything going through my stomach. Tell me this lasts only a few days?

    spoke with my surgery scheduler and my time has changed. Instead of a 12:30pm surgery tomorrow---it's now @ 8:30 am (there was a cancellation)---it's getting closer! Blessings2u--bj

    so today is the eve of my surgery. Not really much anxiety--just staying focused and in prayer. I ordered a scale and it just arrived. Looks like I got rid of 14lbs during my pre-op liquid diet--GO me!!!

  21. bjstrans4mation

    Liquid Diet

    bjstrans4mation replied to LauraKitty's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I found out yesterday that I'm scheduled for 12:30 Nov 9th. I have to be at the hospital by 10:30. They say it will take 2-3 hours to be sleeved. About 1 1/2 hours in recovery and I'll be released Thursday by 12:30. My liquid diet has been been ok. I'm remaining focused and determined to make my surgery as easy as possible. Does anybody think that there is a difference in pain/gas with those who have the pre-op liquid diet and those who don't?--Blessings2u--BJ

    They also requested my 2 year weight after they received my paperwork. Aetna called my surgeon contact, she gave it to them, and they gave her my approval code ----3 business days. You got this!!! Think positive. Blessings2u--BJ
