Didn't see that coming?!$#@!
JCP replied to bewell's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did not see the change in how thing tasted coming. No one warned me. Even water grossed me out. It took about 3 months to go away. -
I went back to coffee at a month but I only drink one cup. (It takes a long time to drink it.)

HELP!I NEED A LIST OF SLIDERS!
JCP replied to GEAUX SAINTS's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Anything that is liquid or like a yogurt consistency is a slider. Avoid it unless you are using it as a meal replacement/protein source. -
I need to vent...4 weeks out and very stalled
JCP replied to LisaLou30's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OMG I lost 27 lbs on the 2 week pre op and 2 week post op. Then the next 3 weeks I lost 4 lbs. I was so upset! My body just stopped losing. Then it kicked in again. At 5 months, I was down 80 lbs. Don't worry. We are all unique. You will lose the weight, I promise. -
That happened to me a few days out. Lasted maybe 3 days, never to return. I don't know if it was head hunger, hormonal, withdrawal or what. But it did go away.

Bread and Biscuits post op
JCP replied to Karenlrn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't eat bread... Haven't since before surgery. -
The restriction kicks in with food. And it really does kick in big time.

I started working out with a trainer at 3 months. My balance was off but that improved quickly. I think I could have ridden at that point safely but I seldom ride anymore.
-
I wanted to shoot myself until about 2 weeks out, then it got much better. One month out was worlds better. It's going on 6 months now and I am so happy I did this. It gets better every day; don't worry!

Gained weigh during surgery
JCP replied to sallyomalley67's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You receive a lot of fluids in the hospital. That was the weight you gained. Perfectly normal. -
What do you drink when you go out?
JCP replied to Kaitlin 1013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I drink water but an occasional glass of red wine if we go out... Just one and it takes a while to drink it. -
Hospital question for all you post- op people
JCP replied to maggie mae 10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hospital gown. I wore a robe over it when I walked. I was so out of it, clothes were the last thing on my mind. -
Constipation - I know Im not alone!
JCP replied to Photo925's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Peas and beans work for me. I cook dried beans in chicken broth with some onion. They are good protein and the fiber has a fast result for me. -
I was about the same at 6 weeks... I am almost 6 months out now and still only eat very small amounts. But I snack on almonds and cheese a few times a day. I am never hungry but if I don't eat enough I feel worn out and weak.

One poached egg at 2 weeks... Tasted so good.
-
It's like blinking. You have no awareness of being under. Don't worry at all!

Vomiting with empty stomach? (The Adventures of Erin and Frankensleeve)
JCP replied to HereComesTheSun's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not often but occasionally I throw up hours after eating... Sometimes I wonder if maybe air causes it, like sipping water too quickly. It is awful! But thankfully it's rare for me. -
Wonderful testimony. You should be very proud. God bless.

3 weeks out and still having trouble with protein and foods
JCP replied to graceday32001's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Normal! Don't worry! It really takes at least a month to feel better. My doctor said you are still swollen an unhealed before then. Go easy on yourself and don't worry. It will get much better soon. -
I also hated that I would no longer be able to relish all my comfort food binges but you know what? Five months out I don't miss it at all. I wonder how it ever appealed to me. We learned our behavior and you will learn new behavior. It really is amazing. I no longer live to eat; I eat to live. So do we all and so will you. God bless you. Full speed ahead!

New idea for protein...and it tastes GOOD!
JCP replied to CanyonBaby's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I need to do this... Those drinks are SO expensive and they are gross! -
And I would tell the HR Director what his or her staff did.
-
Wow.. HR?? Have they never heard if HIPAA?? Someone can not only be fired for that but criminally charged as well. Ignore those who are ignorant about this procedure. Listen to those who are informed and listen to your heart. This surgery has given me my life back. End of story.

Feels wonderful, doesn't it?

My husband is not attracted to me - 2 weeks post-op
JCP replied to marbelvsg's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Very unsupportive, thoughtless, and insensitive. Don't dwell on it. Focus on you. When you are stronger and healthier, you never know what you may decide to do. Good for you for taking this step!
