Did You Have Complications After Weight Loss Surgery?
Zoey716 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
4 weeks after I had the sleeve, I had a small leak that they think happened from a small ulcer that formed on the incision on my stomach. I ended up having a 2nd surgery. It was a bit of a scary ordeal. I had a drain put in, was not allowed to eat for 5 days - but was hooked up to TPN (IV nutrients/lipids), had so many tests and procedures to try and find out what was going on and why. I was in the hospital for 6 days. About 2 weeks later I ended up back in the hospital with a kidney infection that was a result of not being able to get in enough fluids to flush my kidneys properly. So I was back in the hospital for another 2 days. With the complications that I did have put aside - I have had a fantastic experience and results from having the sleeve done. I have been very happy and pleased with my results, and have progressed very well. My doctors are all very happy and pleased with my progress. At my 6 month post op appointment I had already meet their 1 year goal for weight loss. I had a rocky start but am so very happy I had the sleeve done and never have regretted getting it done. -
@@aroundhky - I use myfitnesspal & mapmyrun apps. They are helpful to track activity and calories in, but I doubt I burn as many calories as it shows. I use mapmyrun more as a journal with my PR's, ME's and time for Crossfit. It's helpful to look back on it. I also like it for the GPS when I do go running (When it's not 7 degrees outside), I find its very accurate which is great. Im on the fence about buying into a FitBit type of device though. Would love to see more feedback and experience on these items.

@@ProjectMe - check to see if the Crossfit gym near you has a beginners class. My box, has what they call an "On Ramp" class. They meet twice a week for a month, to learn the basic lifts, different equipment, positions, terms etc. I found this so very helpful when I started, to go into a regular WOD with a bit more knowledge! Best of luck - it becomes addicting but oh so very rewarding!! When you go - let me know how it goes!

@@ProjectMe - it's a international competition. Last year over 209.000 athletes participated! Every week Crossfit posts a different workout, and at an affiliate gym, you are judged on the workout. This year they are scaling the workouts (modifying) so that more people can participate (like ME!) . Those athletes who compete on a larger scale for CF use the open to qualify for regional competitions. I'm no where near that level, but am looking forward to the challenge and the workouts!

@@MamaTo3inNH - cream of wheat was also a go to for me post surgery. If you're allowed - try adding a dash of cinnamon to it for a bit of flavor!

The rice may be too much for your tummy to handle. Try straining your creamed Soups.

What are YOU doing to get your activity in today?

Crossfit in T-minus 3 hours. Lord help me.

@Stevehud & @ProjectMe - I have been doing crossfit for quite some time now. My box focuses on skill and strength before we go into a WOD (workout of the day). My box teaches proper technique, posture and accountability. Everything is modified to one's ability. They want us to be challenged but successful, and that has lead to my success there so far. I have zero reservations about stepping into my box, as I know I am getting the best coaching and instruction out there. I would encourage anyone who is slightly interested in giving CF a shot. I have built muscle, endurance and confidence in myself, that I have never had. #thisshitworks

@Zoey716. I was a collegiate athlete & can appreciate the challenge. Proper technique and instruction is definitely key to enjoying yourself and not getting hurt. There's a gym run by ex/retired military near my house and I can't wait to give it a try! Just waiting until I feel I am stronger as I'm only 4 weeks out from surgery.

@alxmak1021 -Thanks! Feeling better for the most part. The loss has DEF slowed down. I met Dr. C's 1 year goal at my 6 month appointment. So they warned me that my weight loss was likely to plateau - in which it had. I am still losing - but it is a much slower pace. Need to get strict with my diet, protein and water intake after New Years. Want to kick it into gear - hoping to reach my goal by my 1 year. Hope you are doing well & that you had a great holiday season!

@Zoey716 Glad to hear you are feeling better! When I went for my 6 month apt they didn't really say to much. Just that I have been doing really well. Cavaretta didn't set a goal for me either. I hate the fact that one day the scale says one weight then the next day it is 2lbs up. I don't get it!!! very frustrating! I am almost thinking to up the calories, some days I get to almost 1000 calories. I know he said he wanted me at 1200 when I go back next month. Just seems so high! 2015 is a new year!!!
