Eating Post Op after Gastric Bypass
AllisonKara replied to DimandGirl's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
You must still be on liquid diet and if the jellos are not enough for you then you can try protein shakes,yogurt and even chicken broth.You can also take the advice from your surgeon or a diet expert who will draw up a diet chart for you to follow which will be of great help. -
Great!!! So happy for you and the best part is that you are happy with the end result.Now, I think that you owe it to yourself that you should not only think about your health and look after yourself well so that you are up and about soon and are able to enjoy the new you.God Bless.

Bloating after surgery
AllisonKara replied to Auntie rose's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You have already done a great job losing 25 lbs and I am sure with time you will do better and better.You will have to be a little more patient regarding getting into your favorite clothes but very soon you will be able to do that too.So Good luck and take care and soon you will be in great shape. -
Please be careful as to what you are eating post your surgery.You have worked hard to get where you are now therefore enjoy the weight loss and a new you .Do not give in to your cravings as that is only a self destruct path.You will not gain from it instead it will put you in more trouble.

There is no need to be concerned about feeling hungry.After doing so much of exercise everyday you are bound to feel hungry.The only matter of concern is that your eating does not get out of hand.Keeping that in control will take you a long way.Another thing which is very important to note is that because you are feeling hungry means that your body is healing after the surgery and you are well on the way to recovery.

Post Op Two Days- Terrible Taste in Mouth
AllisonKara replied to laurabl98's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is not only the after taste of Iso-pure liquid Protein but also the heavy dosage of medication that is being given to you which is leading to that bad taste in the mouth. .Iso-pure does leave a very bad after taste but you can get rid of it by cleaning your mouth a few more times than you regularly do.This way you will keep your mouth from getting dry and also keep it clean from the after taste of the protein. -
There is nothing to be afraid of.Gastric sleeve surgery is a very normal procedure and you will be out in no time.Just keep your confidence up and think of times that you are going to be happy with the results of the surgery.Just follow the instructions given by your surgeon and all will be just fine.Will be praying for your successful surgery and quick recovery.Good Luck and God Bless.

I think everyone goes through the same apprehensions , before the surgery,as you are.I can very well understand your situation.You do not need to be stressed or discouraged as there are more people who are thankful for their choice of having the surgery than those who are regretting it.Look up all that you can about the do's and don'ts and also follow every step your surgeon tells you.I am sure you will sail through fine. Infact you will be proud of your decision.Good luck dear.Do keep us posted on your pre and post surgery condition.

Real sorry to say, it is true that you will have to be eating real show so that you are able to sustain whatever you eat.You will need a lot of practice for that.It will help you not to overeat and maintain a measured amount.Do take care of what all you will be eating and follow your surgeons advice so that you stay out of trouble.

I totally agree with what you have to write about having a positive attitude.Your positive attitude towards life makes it so much more easier for you to cross all hurdles and reach your goal.Thank you so much for all the lovely expressions.Your book, I must am sure, will be a great inspiration to many people who want to go through such a surgery or maybe find themselves in any kind of difficult situations. -

Is it to soon to for me to start walking?
AllisonKara replied to Ivowtodoit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nice to know that all went fine with your surgery,but I would still recommend that you go to your surgeon with your question of when to start your walks.This way you will be in good hands to take the right decisions for you.....Best of luck on your everyday walks.May you enjoy them all the more. -
Yes,It is a good idea to take a second or maybe even a third opinion.You might just be able to get the quotes for the surgery that you are looking for.It is always better to go into the surgery with a positive and sure mind,it is only then will you be able to know who is the best surgeon for you in all respects.

please help lack of fluids causing problems?
AllisonKara replied to sevenb07's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Drinking a cup of coffee and a bottle of water is not enough to keep you hydrated through the day.Try and sip on other fluids as well but if you feel that it is going to cause acid reflux then you have to be real careful on what you drink.I feel water is the safest. -
First of all let me take this opportunity of wishing you a very Happy Birthday.You have chosen the perfect date to go through this rny surgery.Today is indeed your day so you need not worry about any aspect of the surgery.God is there with you to help you go through it.Good Luck and God Bless. . Do keep us posted on your condition after the surgery.

gaining weight after clear diet?
AllisonKara replied to hollywood90h's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Basically, it is what you are eating is what that matters the most.If you are taking more of carbs then it is natural to gain weight.Therefore it is very necessary to keep your carbohydrate intake under check.Protein intake is more helpful for you therefore it is always better to make your diet protein rich. -
I feel it is necessary to visit your doctor at regular intervals so that you are able to keep a track of the changes happening in your body.The doctor will be able to give you the best remedy for your acid influx because there could be various reasons for the influx.It could be your diet or even the time when you would be taking in your food.
