    Seeking Buddies 5'2" & Under

    mommy794 replied to ladymacwhiz's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Monday will be 3 weeks since my surgery and I've lost 20 including the 7 during the pre op liquids. Im 5'0" abd started at 202 I'm feeling good and no problems except for 2 days ago I ate way too fast for the first time and i paid for it for about 3 hrs. Felt horrible and on the verge of vomiting. WON'T be doing that again! Good luck to everyone and it does come off us shorties even tho its a tad slower! I can't wait for the NEXT 20 to be gone then I will really feel it !!!!

    Words are cheap and too often misused. A person's actions are the true measure of their worth.

    Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

    I founf this on another board it explains it alot! Our bodies use glycogen for short term energy storage. Glycogen is not very soluble, but it is stored in our muscles for quick energy -- one pound of glycogen requires 4 lbs of Water to keep it soluble, and the average glycogen storage capacity is about 2 lbs. So, when you are not getting in enough food, your body turns first to stored glycogen, which is easy to break down for energy. And when you use up 2 lbs of glycogen, you also lose 8 lbs of water that was used to store it -- voila -- the "easy" 10 lbs that most people lose in the first week of a diet. As you stay in caloric deficit, however, your body starts to realize that this is not a short term problem. You start mobilizing fat from your adipose tissue and burning fat for energy. But your body also realizes that fat can't be used for short bursts of energy -- like, to outrun a sabertooth tiger. So, it starts converting some of the fat into glycogen, and rebuilding the glycogen stores. And as it puts back the 2 lbs of glycogen into the muscle, 8 lbs of water has to be stored with it to keep it soluble. So, even though you might still be LOSING energy content to your body, your weight will not go down or you might even GAIN for a while as you retain water to dissolve the glycogen that is being reformed and stored.

    Food Smells Different.

    mommy794 replied to SpaceyCasey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Not the smelling bad part, I'm almost 2 weeks out. But I do feel like I have a bionic nose and can smell EVERYTHING more! It's weird!

    Stalled After One Week?!?

    mommy794 replied to Iliana82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I know the feeling, I finally did lose 1 more pound the past day or 2 and I was sleeved the 6th. But I can say I have lost inches, I wore a shirt last nite I've only worn maybe once or twice before when I weighed alittle less than I weigh now. The last time I was going to wear it the sleeves were way too tight and I looked stuffed into it. I have upped my water and protein so I'm hoping I'm one of those who lose better on the higher end of the calorie scale??? I know it's sooo aggravating!!!! But just think in a few months it will all be worth it ...as long as the scale continues down how ever slow it maybe ... WE still are better off than before!

    Waking Up At 2 Am, Ketosis?

    mommy794 replied to fitforlife's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I was waking up really early and being wide awake for the first week. Today was the 1st day I slept late, but I had a late nite and also it was raining cats n dogs here this morning...good for sleepin! I know before years ago when I did the atkins diet very striclty I had tons of energy and needed less sleep so maybe it is the ketosis.

    The St. Jude radio-on 95.1 is soooo sad! Proud to say we have been giving our $20 a month for close to 10 years now :) never miss it!

  24. mommy794
    TRUE!!! I'm gonna take any lose as a gain bc I know that will be gone for good , thanks for putting it that way!

    I know the feeling ! I can drink so easy it's scary. But when I went for my 1st post op visit the Dr. said sounds like I'm doing just fine! It is weird how each person reacts sooo different bc my co worker had her sleeve 2 weeks before me and she still can barely eat or drink anything. Same surgeon and I"m assuming same bougie sz...he said he has a system that works very well and everyone gets the same thing. I am on full liquids now but I can still drink an 8 oz pretty thin protein shake in about 10 min. or so. I hope when I get to more solid foods I get the restriction feeling too!
