A week out and feeling very hungry
Abry replied to cdixon99's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
yes it is normal I felt the same way! now i eat breakfast and then have to set an alarm to remind me to eat ....If not I will forget... I work at a car dealership and it is sometimes hard to stay away from all the junk everyone else is eating but aside from that I am not actually hungry -

I tried the waterproof bandaids and they didnt work at all but someone suggested Nexcare bandaids and I will test those and see!!! I cleared it with my doctor and he said to use them and make sure I am not in the pool to long!!!

carbs and sodium intake have no clue! HELP!
Abry posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been maintaining my calories and I know I am good at that but what is the daily recomended carb or sodium intake!! I know I should ask my nut. and I will when I go in this week just wanted to know what has been working for yall.. I am not a big carb eater but I am a salty eater...I also started my period and have been fighting the munchies anyone have any info on how to get rid of these dang muchies that would be a help...I am am 6 weeks out and down 50lbs so I dont want to fudge up now!!! Oh and what about beef jerky is that an ok treat or snack -
I had the same emotions and it is normal....I was thinking is this the best thing for me until the morning of surgery and they put the stuff in my IV that made me REAL HAPPY!!! my mom was there and was tearing up and I remember not being able to be serious and smiling a lot and laughing as they took me back to the o\r afterwards I felt bad that I was laughing while she was crying but I couldnt help it!! LOL!!! I woke up and felt groggy and in a daze for awhile but I was not in a lot of pain!!! I WAS FREAKING OUT FOR NOTHING!!! shure you are sore but nothing like I had imagined, You will do great and make sure to ask for your pain meds and keep in good spirits I had all the doc's and nurses laughing the whole time. They sent me home after 24 hours and I was fine!!! We will see you on the losers bench soon!! keep us posted

Abry replied to mandajean1182's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I would say to stay on your plan as much as possible! my nut wont let me eat any nuts before I am at goal! I am a creature of habit I eat one egg or oatmeal everyday for breakfast and tuna or chicken and avacado and then drink isopure 0carb and then have a yogurt for supper -
I gained 6lbs last week wieghed yesturday at my nuts and I was down 15 so dont get down our bodys do funny things
-
when I went to the doctor becuase of an ifection on week 3 I was up 6lbs and then I when to him yesturday and am down 15 since last week so I lost my wieght I gain due to the infection and starting soft foods and then an extra 9lbs....I dont own a scale and am now a month out and have went from a size 28 jean to 24 and now they are getting loose so I know I am doing some thing right...I will never beat myself up for losing and stick to the plan...

Post-op 1 week today! Questions....
Abry replied to brookiebaby81's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was the same way I lost a lot the first two weeks and yes I was able to drink freely and without any pain or to much restriction! I also thought that maybe my sleeve might be to big! but NO I feel the restiction now on soft foods after a couple of bites and yes my wieght stalled for a week and now it is coming off fast again I love the way I feel I have been so luck to not have complications!! I also felt the need for solids when on liquids but now I have to stop and make my self eat. My energy level is great and I have droped almost 3 pant sizes!! Keep up the good work!!!! -
I did the same thing!!!! Had my surgery april 2 and on my 2 week was down 27lbs and then went back a week later and only lost 3 but he said it is becuase of me going to mushy foods! and that it will start to drop again soon I have already went down 2 pant sizes!!! You just keep up the good work and it will start falling off again!!!
-
I was sleeved April 2nd and have been on soft foods for 5 days. But have now started to feel like Im hungry all day..like every 2 or 3 hours!!! I do try to eat proteine when this happens like rolled up lunch meat, cheese ect...and I am staying under 800 calories I am between 500 and 700 but I still feel like it is to much!!!! Is this normal???? Also I dont eat much other than proteine like veggies is this ok or do I really need to start craming in veggies?
-
I know how you feel I was sleeved on april 2nd and am now hungery now its not the same as before but it is there!!! I find myself eating rolled up lunch meat alot and string cheese low fat of course but I feel I might eat to often...I track my calorie intake and am still getting between 500 to 700 calories but I fear I am eating to much by snacking even if it is a bite here and there... is this normal ???
-
I did the same and was sleeved 4/2 and I haven't had a smoke since but before surgery I couldn't quit it's easier and important to do it after
-
Yes I feel the same .....but I have to ask myself this was I happy with the way I looked. ..N0!!! So why would I think any guy would be happy with this. ..The only guys I have a tracked is creeps...I'm just want a nice guy now lol
