Hey everyone. I am currently 2 weeks post op and was wondering if anyone has any good recipes for puréed stage! Anything would help! Thanks!!
-
Ok everybody. I had my 3 week post op appt today. 3 weeks will actually be Friday but so far I'm down 25 lbs! Is that average or should I have lost more? I lost 18 lbs between my pre op and 1st week post op and lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. I hope it goes a little but quicker than 7 lbs in 2 weeks!

Almost 3 weeks post op
TropicalGirl1205 replied to TropicalGirl1205's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thanks guys! No I don't think I would have been able to do it without surgery. I was too far gone to even care to lose weight on my own! I appreciate that this surgery is a tool to help me and I am so glad I did it! -
Thanks! I am on Prilosec and have been on it for months, even before surgery. I heard it takes some time for Grehlin, the hunger hormone, to calm down. I guess I'll give it more time before I don't feel hungry anymore

I'm almost 3 weeks post op. why am I hungry?! I need some good ideas for food to eat!
-
So I am 2 1/2 weeks post op. between my 2 weeks pre op diet and first week post op I lost 18 lbs. it'll be 2 weeks on Wednesday since I lost 18 lbs and I've only lost 1 lb! What's going on?!! I'm so discouraged !!

Yes my clothes are feeling much better and I can notice myself getting smaller. I just obsess about the number on the scale. Idk whether or not to start exercising yet. I will be 3 weeks post op on Friday. -

Hunger pains
TropicalGirl1205 replied to TropicalGirl1205's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thanks! I'm 2 weeks post op and since then (and of course pre op diet) I've lost 28 lbs already! The last 5 days my scale really hasn't moved so I'm getting kind of bummed about that. -

I am taking Prilosec. How long does it take for Grehlin to go away? -

Heart racing
TropicalGirl1205 replied to TropicalGirl1205's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I think I am dehydrated. I drank a lot if water and even some orange juice. It helped!! Feel ok now. I have been lacking on my fluid intake! -
Ok since surgery I've noticed that my heart is rAcing. It's not constant, it's only when I am doing things. The simplest things, though I notice my heart racing. Taking a shower or even blow drying my hair. Is this normal? Why is this happening ?

TropicalGirl1205 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
So today was my pre op appt and exactly 1 week til my surgery!! And on the 1st week of the pre op diet I lost 7 lbs!! Im so excited!! I've been soo good and stuck to it. Tonight I kinda cheated for Valentines Day but back to the strict diet tomorrow! Can't believe how fast surgery day is approaching ! -
Is it normal when trying to eat on the puréed stage to have pain in your chest!? Every time I take a bite and swallow it I have pain. And the bites are small! Will this go away?!

Pain in chest

I am 10 days out so I know we are close, I wish someone further out will tell us it'll go away! Lol -
Hey does anyone know if the Premier Protein drinks are okay to drink post op sleeve? I'm 1 week out and bought them and they actually taste better than any other protein I've had. And they are 11 ozs which I know is too much. Would 8 ozs be acceptable to drink?? Thanks!

Blended drink- 8 days post op
TropicalGirl1205 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
So now I'm in puréed foods. I made this drink that has nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt, some Tropicana 50 orange juice and frozen pineapple and blended it all together. Is this ok to have? I feel like I need some sugar because I feel light headed -
Blended drink- 8 days post op
TropicalGirl1205 replied to TropicalGirl1205's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
It's good but I don't even know if its ok to have. I don't see why not as long ad it's just a little bit. If u use the low acid one, that's probably better. Let me know how u like it when u try it! :-)
