So Very Annoyed! Not Losing
Jeni Martin replied to kwindham's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Depending on what foods you can eat at your stage work on increasing your Protein. What did the doctor say about you thinking you had a stall? Try adding some S/F pudding mix to a Protein powder shake and use a blender. Can you handle cold temps? Throw in some ice and make it a "milkshake" -
I Need Help, What Eat After 4 Weeks
Jeni Martin replied to alwadi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told to start with dark meat chicken because it moister and the only beef I can have is ground beef. -
I have not had any stalls that I know about now at 7 1/2 weeks. However where I weight at uses a scale that does a body analzer. And it showed that in one week I had lost 10 pounds in my fat mass and gained 7 in fat free mass. So hopefully you are losing fat and gain equal fat free mass. Take some measurements if you are worried and compare them even when you are stalling... one pound of fat will take up more room than one pound of muscle

Driving A Week After?
Jeni Martin replied to katyb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I second, third, forth, errr whatever that... once you are off pain meds you can drive, however I had problems backing up because it was painful to twist around. Suggest go out to the car sit in it and pretend you are backing up etc... -

3 1/2 Months Out And My Appetite Is Growing
Jeni Martin replied to chigga77's topic in Food and Nutrition
Yeap in the last week I only lost three pounds but in the body analyzer showed I lost 10 pounds of FAT and gained the muscle mass. I will take a gain in weight if it is muscle mass gain and with a FAT loss -
Yes the protein shake, milk, etc stay in the sleeve longer than clear liquids but not as long as food. Although I can't drink plain water as fast as Crystal Light
-
I only had it happen with a protein shake, but by the time I got "sick" there was nothing in the sleeve it had passed. So I just had dry heaves and foamy stuff...

Looked up the post above and read protein ice cream... now I think I have to go get an ice cream maker LOL

When Can You Eat Lettuce?
Jeni Martin replied to jiggyjen1982@yahoo.com's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told 3 months for Crunchy Veggies and Fruit... Although I have had a few shreds and they have sat well with me -
That was the first on to heal for me. The one taking the longest is the long on the right side. I had thought it was infected, but when the doctor office looked at it they said it was healing and the leaking from mine was the internal stitches dissolving, I have had two of the stitches dissolve on the bottom and slide out of the incision..
-
Lissa thank you for that answer... I know that Crystal Light and such I can drink about 1/4 cup in two swallows or such. Milk or such has to be a smaller swallow.

I was reading a post from a blogger that she recommends you call the company and see if they have samples they can send. You don't want to spend a bunch of $$$ on something and not like it.

Nervous About The Pain!
Jeni Martin replied to disneyteach's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If I was sitting, lying or walking there wasn't much pain. Most of the pain happened for me getting in or out of bed, getting in or out of chair... but it quickly would pass to a dull ache. But at 7 weeks after surgery I am very happy to have gone thru it! Just remember if you are in pain let the staff know! -
Dr Alvarez has some videos on Youtube that address this you should check them out!

I don't even own one! I wait until I go see my NUT so my next weigh in will not be until JUNE 21 unless I make a stop by there... -
Frustrated With Scale
Jeni Martin replied to janetrupp's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you have upped the excerise you need to up your intake... your body is thinking it is starving so it is saving every drop it can. Think about a solider eating a MRE most of them are 3600 calories... because they are burning thru it and it is still possible for them to be losing weight during this time. -
How about a cracker and some sour cream

I see you said you took a Gas-X, my surgeon has placed me on Omeprazole for the next year to reduce stomach acid. Are you on a daily acid reducer?
