I am one month post-op. I'm down 30lbs but i am more excited about the inches comin off. Wish I measured myself pre-op. I notice a big difference in my pants! Keep up the good work.

Still waiting for my burst of energy. Don't feel bad but definitely not 100%.

March And April Sleevers How Are You Doing? What Are You Really Eating? (Confessions)
jme53071 replied to Anewlifeforme23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hehehe! Confessions! Surgery was 4/24 and it seems the only thing that agrees with me is refried beans! -
Please don't worry AT ALL! They put medication for it in your IV. I tend to get nauseous quite a bit and this med worked wonders! You're gonna do GREAT!!!!

A Before & After
jme53071 replied to BetterthanIwasb4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow! Congratulations! Great job. -
So sorry you went through all this. Hope you feel 100% real soon. Said a prayer for you!
-
Had some refried beans today. About 3 large tablespoons. Immediately followed by sharp upper back pain. Is this an indication of fullness?
-
Wow! That sounds like a lot. I had 3T of re-fried beans today and was in pain.

First Outting Since Surgey And ....
jme53071 replied to kellythestarr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same boat here. I'm 12 days post op and still not 100%. -
For me, I'm beginning to differentiate "head hunger" and "true hunger". So far....every time I want to utter the words "I'm starving" I realize, my tummy really isn't all that hungry. Cravings are terrible!!!!
-
I did from caffeine and sugar withdrawal. Also, when I was borderline dehydrated I got headaches as well. Feel better!
-
I absolutely, positively do NOT wish I did the LapBand. I'm 11 days post-op. I wouldn't change a thing. That's not to say this is a breeze.....but I'm far more confident in my future success with this procedure. Good luck!

A Very Special Group Of Folks Here
jme53071 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good evening! As I'm settling to bed and ready to say my prayers, I am thinking of all the kidness I have been witnessing here on this site (member for 2 wks). I've never 'blogged' before but I have to say... You all TRULY deserve to pat yourselves on the back for all the support you show to the rookies and veterans here. I'm very thankful to all and will include you, as a group, in tonight's prayer! xoxo -
Had My Surgery On Monday April 30
jme53071 replied to elizabethp's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Check my subject from a few days back "Let's talk about toots!" Lots of good advice/support. My gas and poops arrived 6-7 days. It came a day after I bumped up my Water intake and moved around alot more. No worries....what is up...MUST come down! -
Confused With Post Op Diet
jme53071 replied to urbandecayno5's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This post-op diet varies soooooo much, it seems. I am 8 days post op. I never had to fast two weeks prior. I am on 6 oz Ensure daily with unlimited clear liquids for two weeks. Then two weeks soft foods. Then on to solids. This two weeks is miserable!!!!! I can't imagine if I had to do this two weeks prior to surgery as well. I'd have jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge by now :-p -
I hear alot of Gas-X strip users. Once I had a BM my gas released. But that didn't happen til I took in ALOT more Water than I was initially drinking. Your body's circulation works best when you lay on your left side. Do that and curl you knees up a bit. Hope you'll have relief soon.

Drain Removal- How Painful Really?
jme53071 replied to CHELL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Slight discomfort. Not enough to rate it as pain. It's a bit longer in length that I thought so..... It's just an odd, slightly uncomfortable sensation. Over very quickly! You'll be fine :-) -
Slow Weight Loss :/
jme53071 replied to mistyf6572's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is it possible your building up muscle weight? I have a feeling you're losing lots of inches and not lots of pounds. Do you have more than 100 lbs to lose? They say the less you need to lose the slower it'll take. Don't be discouraged. You're doing everything right. Be patient! :-) -
Oh my Lord, am I really posting questions about passing gas?!? Sorry all! Sleeved on 4/24. I passed a bit of gas in hospital and next day.....maybe 3 uneventful times. Nothing since. No gas. No BM since last Sunday!!!! Anyone out there in the same boat!? Have your docs told you anything? Any advice? I never thought I'd pray to pass gas but my tummy is so distended and uncomfortable. Thanks for your time xoxoxo
