Shribhi

Dont worry about bm.i didnt have any for 8 days post op n my doc said not to worry about it.the only thing you sgould be concerned about right now should be having the urge to pee.if u dont have it then u r not drinking enough liquids n getting dehydrated.so sip sip sip.

I just googled it and found out that they are due to rapid eating.

I get hiccups too.i dont know why.

Its ok to cheat once in a while as long as you realise what you did and are back on track.im 7 weeks out and my doctor told me that im being too hard on myself and if i dont treat myself once in a month or so i will go completely offtrack.so its better i do it with his permission once in a month for one meal.so i ate little bit of danish pastry and with eating little i was so satisfied without the guilt that now i dont have lustful thoughts in me about food.

Catherine i couldnt eat much till i was 3-4 weeks out but somehow things fell into place after that.i get up at 6 a.m.and by 8,i finish 250 ml water and 125 ml protein shake,then around 8.45 i eat my breakfast..then 30- 45 minutes after i have water then for snack,i have 1oz sunflower seeds and 2 prunes or someother combo of dry fruits.im a vegetarian so ive to work extra hard for my protein.my breakfast is generallt one hard boiled egg or egg white with greek yogurt.when im done with one meal i put an alarm on my phone for my next water and snack n so on.things will fall into place for you also.its just a matter of time.and it takes a lottttttttttt of planning.its like a full time job.all the best.

Hi.im 7 weeks out and ive never had a complaint with food so far.i eat 6oz with no problem at all for my main meals and 2 oz for snacks. And i also have two 125 ml protein shakes.i eat three main meals and two snacks and two protein shakes and 2 litres of water divided into 250 ml each time.

I dont have a goal weight.neither did my doc asked nor did i think about it.im a month post op.should i be thinking about it?what exactly is it and why does everyone have one?pls enlighten me.

im writing to you from indiaand im a vegetarian so its been really hard to get my proteins but what i did was boil half cup piggeon pea lentil with five times water and salt and drink that throughout the day during clear liquid stage and then drink the lentil itself during full liquid stage.the other thing i did during clear liquid stage was mix one tbsp yogurt with water and salt and blend and drink that for protein.during mushy food stge it was yogurt,lentils,boiled egg and greek yogurt and cottage cheese for me.at thid stage i was able to find chocolate flavour protein shake by GNC which saved my life.all the best to you.

The one thing we Indian vegetarians drink a lot is lentil Water.boil half cup of green or yellow pigeon pea with 5 times water and salt.and drink the liquid during clear liquid phase and when on mushy phase have the mushy lentil too much Protein in that.the other thing I did was blend water n salt with little bit yogurt and drink that.hope it helps.you can write to me incase you want vegetarian Indian recipes.

I got it done 3 weeks back on 10th june.only one incision in the belly button.they made a video of the surgery and gave it to me.its a bit more expensive but totally worth it.recovery is super fast.

im 10 days out and feeling the same hunger as you but it im ok when i drink something but then after a while im hungry again.i was told before surgery that i would never be hungry again but i am and its depressing me a lot.

hi.i got sleeved on june 10th and alsogot my umbilical hernia repaired.im in a lot of pain myself.plus im a vegetarian so my protein intake is bad since i feel like vomitting if i try n drink protein shake.i got scared to read about ur muscle pain.hope ur feeling better now.take care.

im june 10th.

See Amy.......its everybodys story.....AudOne wrote the same thing ......look at the brighter side...you just made two new friends who understand you ......feel free to write anytime.hugs.

Hi Amy. Im writing to you from India and just yesterday i decided to do the surgery and met the doctor.im sorry about your mothers reaction and this is precisely what i fear so ive decided not to tell my parents or my in laws or anybody except for my closest friends.i know its hard but dont take it to the heart.they wish well for us and are not so well inormed about the surgery and are not even aware how much we have triedwith other things since they dont live with us and dont see us on a day to day basis.i have umbilical hernia which im getting corrected when im getting sleeved so i have decided to tell my parents only about the hernia surgery and everybody else too for that matter.we have each other Amy everyone here in this forum is super supportive.ive found some excellent friends here who i write to everyday and they write back and since we all are in the same boat we completely get each other.so my dear Amy dont be disheartened.....you can write to me whenever you want and ill write back as soon as i see tour message.love and hugs.

You look amazing......keep up the good work.we are all here to support and encourage you.ive found some wonderful friends here.im getting sleeved in June.very nervous.

Im praying all goes well for you.im just a step behind you as i still dont know if to do it or not.joined this forum today and trying to talk to people who have done it.i understand your fears as im in the same boat as you.take care and let me know how it was.lots of best wishes.

Hi everyone.this is SHribhi from India,36 years old,mother of one,weighing 93kgs at 5.5" considering sleeve.just yesterday i went to the surgeon to understand about it.he says lap band is an obsolete procedure and sleeve is the best option for me.i think ill take a second opinion on that.can someone who has got it done ,answer my questions please?thx.

Thankyou so much for replying.im really really scared as its a major surgery.im being told by my friends(who havent got it done) that how will you stay away from food when you are such a foodie,to which i answer that they willremove the hunger hormone and i wont feel hungry and would feel satisfied with very little quantities(this is what the doctor told me),but i dont know in myself if its true???
