Not AT ALL hungry- 2 months post op
DrMommy replied to DrMommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
lovemyboys....well that story scared me straight!!! Thank you for your honesty. I know, intellectually, that I am risking malnutrition....but I do not want a hospital stay. Foxbins....you are right. I have tried putting myself on a schedule but don't stick to it strongly becasue the idea of eating or drinking makes me ill. But I will give it a go again. Thanks ladies! -
Not AT ALL hungry- 2 months post op
DrMommy posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello all. Well, every day is a new journey with this sleeve of mine. I was 2 months post op last Tuesday. The newest thing for me is that I am not hungry. I mean...not at all. Over the past week, I can force down a Protein Shake and some Water over the course of a day and that is it. I do not have hunger pains or anything. It sucks because I am really weak and fatigued due to lack of calories. Any suggestions from those who have been here? Thanks! -
I would love to take the gummy's as everything else makes me sick. But my doc said no to those because they don't provide enough nutrients for a bariatric patient. Did your doc ok them?

Going off of my plan definitely helped me break a 3 week stall. I ate more and more carbs. It's all about mixing things up and keeping your body guessing so it doesn't reach homeostasis and has to constantly readjust. When I was in Weight Watchers I was taught this...there it is called the Wendy Plan.

2 1/2 weeks out and the scale's not moving!!!
DrMommy replied to DreamLife36's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had it too! About 2 weeks after surgery...the scale literally did not move up or down an ounce. For me, I was not eating enough. The body is designed to try and maintain a state of homeostasis and will do everything it can to try and "survive". The more you can mix things up with number of calories, types of foods, and exercise...the more likely you are to break the stall. -
where do you fit your protein in? how do you get calories?
DrMommy replied to MeMeMEEE's topic in Food and Nutrition
I hear ya!!! I can not stand to drink another nasty shake and I am a vegetarian to boot. I got Isopure non-flavored protein poser and mix it into a cup of decaf coffee. It is an instant 26 grams of protein. I also love for Jamba Juice...I get the pure fruit smoothies with a double shot of protein. -
Hello...I am 43 and have had very regular periods...I mean to the day. Never missed one in my life until I became pregnant. After my surgery I did not have a period for 2 months. I attribute it to the fact that I was barely taking in 300 calories a day and my body went into a bit of an anorexic sate. Once I got my nutrition and calories up to a decent level, it started up again.

I went to the doctor for a physical and was told I was morbidly obese". It scared me. I have two kids....5 and 7. I think it is horrible selfish to bring children into this world and not do everything you can to live for them. I don't give a crap about vanity. I want health.

Good to hear form you!!! It is so validating hearing about your experience (the stall and the fatigue). I am hoping that the fatigue will get better soon. I work a lot and have a 5 and 7 year old!!! I will say hi to my mom. Take care!!

I am doing really good. I was stalled for a few weeks, but now the scale is moving a little. Being tired has been the worst part for me. I work long hours , thank god my husband works at the same company as I do, we have a hour drive both ways to work. Some days I sleep the whole way home. Say hi to your mother she is so sweet.

Hi Jackie! I hope you get this and that I am posting correctly (didn't know how to reply to your post). I am doing ok. Started swimming yesterday to get exercise in. Having a difficult time getting my calories in so I stalled for 2 weeks and am losing again. I am still very fatigued a lot. How are you???

I drink decaf now with a scoop of unflavored protein (26 g of protein with a cup of coffee).

Going Back to Work After Surgery?
DrMommy replied to Jenny A.'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pace yourself. My main issue wasn't pain, it was fatigue and weakness due inability to take in many calories.
