I had lunch at a restaurant with my father-in-law and his girlfriend today and it went well. They didn't ask why I ate so little (probably assuming that I didn't like the chicken). Later my father-in-law insisted me to have some dessert I simply said No thank you but I cannot eat anymore, then his girlfriend asked, What is itM it's the medicine? Have you taken any medicine? (not sure if they noticed any change of my body but they didn't say anything). I just said no it's not medicine (almost bursted out that IT'S THE SURGERY!!, but I didn't hehe) My husband was very helpful, he ate very slowly as well and luckily he didn't like much his food and had some left on his plate, while I had quite significant quantity of food left but noone said anything. Phewww

I'm on my 5th week pos-op, hit the stall for 4 days and then my doctor encouraged me to go for solid food and eat more to lose more. After 1 full day of a bit bigger portion of solid food, I dropped 1.32 lbs! Yay!

I'm 4' 11", almost 43 years old, sleeved on 7 July 2014. Weight on the surgery day : 210 lbs Current weight :188 lbs Total lost since surgery 22 lbs Now I'm a bit over one month out and floating on the first stall and feeling great hehe.

I will be 43 in a few months, pre op my period circle was around 36 days, I think I probably reach menopause early hehe. I'll see my gynaecologist soon to check on Stacy (my cyst) on the left ovary.

Yesterday my surgeon cleared me for solid food and today I was invited to have lunch at a friend's. I told them earlier that I had a surgery to fix my digestive system so I cannot eat much and I will have to eat slowly. My friends didn't ask question about my surgery and they told me to take my time to eat. They're done with their food after 15 minutes while I was still nibbling on mine, so I told them to go ahead with dessert without me. Still I finished eating 15 minutes after they were done with fruits, they were kind enough to understand though. Tomorrow I'll have lunch with my father-in-law and his girlfriend at a restaurant. I want to tell him about my surgery but I don't want to tell his girlfriend so I think I'll just eat as slowly as I can and hope that they won't finish their food too quickly.

I got it, thanks for sharing.

Aww, sorry to hear that. Well, my surgeon didn't forbid me from eating natural foof at all and I trust him as he performs more than 300 patients of WLS per year.

Cool!!

I'm recently one month post-op and I had no period for the entire time. I heard that the WLG may increase the ferilization, I didn't know that it ccould go the other way around!!

I was just cleared from my surgeon for solid food yesterday and sometimes when I eat I have slight pain (like pulses a few times). It's bearable and it goes away later. Not sure if I should email him or not as it was just yesterday he just encourged me to eat solid food.

I'm a bit more than 1 month out and I ate my first salad!! Yay!!

I just had my first post-op check up today with my doctor (already posted the thread earlier in the louge). I told him that I hit the stall for 3 days so he told me to eat more to lose more weight! He also told me NOT to go on the scale everyday. The most exciting thing is I'm cleared for solid food YAY! (sleeved on 07/07/14 total lost pre-op 20 lbs)

Sorry the photos turned upside down! Uh! what did I do wrong?

He said I ate too little, I need to eat more to lose more weight. In the past one month this is the portion that I ate for 1 meal.[a ttachment=47150:image.jpg]

My doctor never gave me calories limit. He is more into the small portion. He said I should eat a little bit of everything (Carb, Protein, fat, fruits, vegetable) Oh, he told me to eat 1 Cereal bar for afternoon snack for the Vitamins... and I hate cereal bar!!!

My friend got the Gastric bypass a few years ago and she told me that first year of losing weight, she look terrible, like she was sick or something but after a while she looks fine and healthier. Probably it's just a phrase and people need to get used to the new you. I only lost 39.6 lbs and sent a photo to a friend, she said, you looked prettier when you're fat. Oookay! lol

Thank you, I started yesterday with the video Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies because it's quite easy to follow and I love the instructor, he voice sounds so soothing lol. I did pretty well except for the tree post, really have to focus.

Thank you, that's Tisha my ragdoll :-)

Funny that the first day I was allowed to drink, the first Breakfast that the hospital offered me was a cup of coffee or tea! Anyway, I drink my coffee everyday at least 2 cups but only decaf. My surgeon didn't have any restriction for coffee. Oh, I've been sleeved in France, by the way.

I really loved this site, there're all questions I wanted to ask lol. I'm now on my 5th week and my clothes are getting lose but I'm still be able to wear them. Plus I kept some favourite clothes that I loved, I have a collection of size 36-44 (I was wearing size 46-48 pre-op) even underwear lol I don't know when I should clear up my wardrobe but I definitely would LOVE to see some empty space for the new ones. I'll probably keep some big size clothes that I really like as well, as souvenir to remind me how big I was and I shouldn't never go back into them ever again,

Hi! I'm very interested to practice yoga I'm only 4 months post-op. When should I be able to start for basic yoga? Thank you.

I'm only 4 weeks out and lost total pre and post-op 18 kg which people think it's a LOT and they can see the difference and I drop 2 sizes of cloths already but I myself really don't see the big difference. I'm just telling myself to be patient, it will come. I still have a long way to go. By the way, If I lost as much as you have, I'd be so thrilled!

I'm Thai, and rice is like bread for Thai cuisine but I think I overate rice per meal made me gain weight so fast. So during the pre-op I ate rice very little only for Breakfast or lunch but not for dinner and it worked so well. Now I'm 5 weeks out on soft food and I started to have congee with soft fish and veggie (2 tbs of Congee) for breakfast and it works well. I found I have to change food types after 1 or 2 days stall and eating food with Asian seasoning is heaven! I added some ginger, sesame oil, soja sauce for the flavour but carefully enough for sodium intakes. I ate Pasta once and I had bad bad bad reflux laster so, no pasta for me, I think for a long long time!

Wow.. Congrats! You look great!

Congrats on the 43 lls lost. I'm actually 4 weeks out but haven't had any check up yet. (Doctor postponed the appointment). I've lost only 20.68 lbs post-op then hit the stall. Learnt from others that the weight will drop eventually as I've done everything right, but I'm still a bit upset anyway. :-(
