I Want To See Before & After Pics! (Cont'd)
MrsMurky721 replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm so excited to finally get to post on this thread!!! My surgery was on December 11th. I've lost 62 lbs since surgery but 100 lbs overall!! I still have 115 lbs to go but I'm halfway there now! -
Re-fried Beans with queso from my favorite mexican restaurant lasted me days and went down well! I also ate a lot of salmon. I've never liked fish but I needed the Protein so I searched and searched and found a recipe I liked. Also tuna salad! I'm glad you're finally getting into the groove of things after a complication like that!

December sleevers

I was sleeved December 11th. Since surgery I've lost 44 lbs and I'm down 82 lbs total! I'm feeling like my normal self again! I haven't really hit a stall but the weight is coming off slower now since I'm eating real food. I started exercising about two weeks ago and it has really helped kick start my weight loss again! I'm still having problems with vomiting random things. I think it's because I either eat too fast or one bite too much. I'm able to get all my Protein and Water in, but I keep forgetting to take my Vitamins -
My new sleeve HATES lettuce. NO SALAD EVER?? I'm so sad :/

It took me about six months to tolerate slald greens and raw foods, but at 13 months out, I can eat that stuff in small amounts. For example, if I want a taco salad, I will heat up 1/2 cup of taco meat, shredded cheese, and salsa to put on top of 1/2 cup of greens and chopped tomato, and will eat about 2/3 of it....no chips.

People's pain after surgery differs, really. There's no way to tell how your pain will be so you may as well be prepared or the worst. I've seen stories of people not needing pain meds after leaving the hospital. I needed the pain meds constantly for almost 6 days. When you wake up you may be in pain or you may not. If you are the docs will give you some good stuff to take care of that. Make sure you stay on top of your pain- don't wait to ask for pain meds when you're in dire need of them. I researched obsessively for months before my surgery. The way I went into surgery was this - I knew it would be a shitty first week. I knew I would be in pain. I knew I wouldn't be able to eat and it would suck to do pretty much anything but sleep. I knew work would suck. But I also knew that I was making the decision to have surgery for a damn good reason and the first two weeks are definitely worth a lifetime of health and happiness. Good luck!

December sleevers How are you all doing ?
MrsMurky721 replied to hootney1214's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got sleeved December 11th. I've lost 28lbs postop and 67 total. Still having trouble getting all my Protein in but have no problem with Water. Just now beginning to eat, really. Usually one meal a day. About 2 oz of fish and then I try to get in two protein shakes. I can already tell a huge difference in my appearance! Went back to work two weeks ago and still struggling with tiredness and being lightheaded. I'm still trying to wrap my had around this new lifestyle where eating is hard lol but it's what I signed up for. Overall things are good. -

During the time after heck in before being wheeled way to surgery question.
MrsMurky721 replied to JenSull's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Even with the relaxing meds in pre-op that they gave me (which we amazing btw) I still started crying when they wheeled me away. Then I got to the operating room and had a full blown panic attack. It was really scary for me, I can't deny that. But this all happened in a span of like 4 minutes tops, if that. As soon as they saw that I was really freaking out they went ahead and gave me the anesthesia. -
I didn't like the chocolate but the vanilla is delicious!! It tastes like melted ice cream! Omnomnomnom!

Does anybody know any easy fish recipes that don't involve honey? Or is honey okay since we will only eat such a small amount?

well if your using like basic whitefish heres a couple one brush with olive oil and top with chopped herbs or mrs dash, two mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 2 teasponns of red wine vinegar and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard wisk up and brush over he fish about 2 to 3 mins before its done. 3. mix 1/4 to 1/2 cup of no sugar added chopped or diced tomatoes in a blender with 1 clove garlic, about 1/8 of a cup or a good amount of chopped fresh cilantro, a dash of salt and pepper. blend to puree like ketchup consistency, ( you can put this in the fridge for over a week easily, bste fish to start cooking then bake the fish and baste every couple minutes and brush just as it comes out of the oven let rest for a minute, makes a great Mexican fish.

Actual food will make you feel better. Also, I've been told that after a while the shakes will no longer be effective for weight loss. I also have struggled a bit with the no drinking for 30 minutes before and after eating. I try planning it around activities. For example: I wake up in morning, so have not had anything to drink for 30 minutes, so I have breakfast. Then I get my shower, dressed, etc. and the 30 minutes after time is up. Good luck.

Bathroom Situation ?
MrsMurky721 replied to Pac-woman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I needed help getting to the restroom for the first day or so but no help in the bathroom before or after. Try to get your pain meds in and working before heading to the potty and/or going for a walk so you can do more on your own.
