Menstrual Cycle
BandedBettyBoop replied to jenniferdawn86's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Could be anything from the process. I'm religiously on schedule with my cycle and mine started 2 days early. The day before surgery :-( I think it was due to diet & rapid weight loss. (I lost 13 lbs in pre op diet) -
Starting To Hate Chicken... Already :-(
BandedBettyBoop replied to BandedBettyBoop's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks everyone. Mega my doc has allowed meat cheese and eggs only so no veggies or yogurt for me. I could try the buffalo sauce though... But maybe its just what Think is saying. I just can't stand pureed chicken? ChicagoRose thanks for helping me put things in perspective -
5 Days Post Op
BandedBettyBoop replied to RichGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No suggestions. Just letting you know that is my experience EXACTLY. I just woke up feeling full. Awkward... -
It didn't hurt as bad as I had anticipated. I was discharged this morning. My surgeon said my liver looked great, so my starving wasn't in vain I'm on a schedule of walk, walk, walk, SIP, SIP, SIP & sleep today. :-) Thanks to everyone who has offered kind words and advice that helped me get this far. My new journey begins!

Banded Yesterday
BandedBettyBoop replied to BandedBettyBoop's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel so bloated. I have gas pretty bad, I keep burping and it hurts, but it makes room for me to drink more Water. :-/ Also, I think my vomiting yesterday was from the anesthesia. The nursing staff told me it was fairly normal to be nauseated and/ or vomit after surgery. -

My doc told me to drink 64 oz. So that's what I'm trying to do. -

I did vomit yesterday. Got up too soon. Not a good feeling. Sorry it was such a nightmare for you RichGirl :-( but I'm glad you're home now! My struggle now is water intake. Trying to get my 64 oz in is tougher than I'd ever imagine! Try to stay on top of your pain! -
Searching For Protein Drinks...
BandedBettyBoop replied to BeeKipp's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Syntha-6 has the best taste I've ever had in a shake. Chocolatey goodness! Not sure on if the macros work for you. I couldn't take it pre op based on my doc requirements. I would check with your doc to get the nutrition requirements first, then work backwards to select a brand that could work for you. Hope this helps -
Same thing here richgirl. I go in at 6 am Thursday & won't go home til Friday. Best wishes for you tomorrow!

Sugar Buster Diet
BandedBettyBoop replied to Chad cool's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats chad! The pre op diet can be pretty tough, but you really get prepared for the changes coming your way. So far I have learned the importance of having your mindset focused on your ultimate goal. I will be banded Thursday. Best of luck to you! -
Mushie/ Pureed Food Stage: Blender Or Food Processor?
BandedBettyBoop posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Which worked best for you? Pros/Cons? Should I go out and buy a food processor or will my blender (good quality) work fine? Surgery Thursday! -

maybe changing up your flavors of CL & broth? Helped me a little. -
Mushie/ Pureed Food Stage: Blender Or Food Processor?
BandedBettyBoop replied to BandedBettyBoop's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
thanks for the feedback everyone. Its funny how the instructions vary. I'm actually only allowed meat cheese and eggs for my mushie stage. No yogurt for me. -
My 2 wk pre-op diet is 2 protein shakes and 1 meal.The meal is 4 oz of meat cheese and/or eggs and a half cup of veggies. All the water I want. Snacks are 2 sugar free jello, 2 sf popsicles and 2 cups of broth per day. Started at 250lbs, I'm on day 11 and 237lbs. Been stuck here for a couple days...

BandedBettyBoop replied to RichGirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

PM me for my MFP username! I'm in pre-op diet so all of my entries seem to look the same! lol 1 week left! -
How much do ppl typically lose on pre-op diet? I realize everyone has a different diet prescribed by their surgeon. I gained 5 lbs within the last couple weeks because I got really comfortable not counting calories for a bit. :-) But Im starting day 3 and I'm down 7 lbs already so I'm just curious.

Is anyone else exercising during pre-op? Got tips? My doc wants me to walk 30 minutes per day but I'm so low energy from the diet I swear I'm literally sleep walking!
