Not feeling the affects from 1st fill
toveylapgal posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all! I had my 1st fill yesterday, 2cc, and I don't feel my eating has slowed down I'm tracking my food and typically eating around 1500 cal a day at my current weight of 292. Am I overeating? -

I'm just mentally down right now. I didn't realize I would have to still track every bite in order to lose. It kinda frustrating when you realize that even with having surgery you still have to diet. -

Sbrown my doc let me eat immediately. He just said slow and easy for the first meal following to make sure I wouldn't get sick -

I think I only have one incision from my surgery
toveylapgal replied to angeldivine1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
5 here as well. It's sounds like they only needed one for the camera, 1 for the instrument, and 1 for the hernia repair and port. It's all about in the same place so I don't think it's unusual -

Update please? -
Pain in upper abdomen
toveylapgal replied to vikas77721's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First week was a roller coaster of better then worse. Try ice packs for 15 min every few hours. Don't leave them too long because they restrict blood flow to the area and that actually slows down healing -

They could but they probably won't due to liability. Are you sure he's out of practice? Have you physically driven to the office he was in? -
6 days post op still hurting
toveylapgal replied to sbrown1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You could be dehydrated at this point only adding to the stomach cramps. Set a timer and make yourself drink a 1 once serving every 15 min for a entire day. See what happens -
Banded yesterday????
toveylapgal replied to MamaRita's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't have hernia repair but I did have a post op bleed which required a 2nd surgery that same day. The dr explained that there are lots of nerves in that area and once they have to move around too much it does cause a lot of increased pain -
Surgery went well today

Feeling hunger is a good sign. It lets you know the anesthesia is pretty much out of your system and liquids should no longer make you queezy -

Oui it gets better! Try to get you some protein shake in prior to pain meds and that will help control some of the icky cycle your in -
Carnation breakfast essentials is my cup of coffee. It has 13 g of protein plus whatever is in the skim milk. It doesn't taste like all those yucky protein drinks! Then around mid morning I'll have a Yoplait Greek Apple pie. 12 g of protein in that

Congrats on your big step! It may be a rough week so keep your chin up and know it DOES get better! -
Thank you for posting this. I'm a couple of weeks post op an I'm really having to watch what I put in my mouth! The scale isn't moving with getting an average of 1400 cal in daily. I look forward to some fills!

Post op day 10 and for the past 2 days I feel like a different person!!! I am finally able to eat foods that I have to chew! Every night I've walked my block 1.04 miles. I'm sleeping on my right side (port) relatively pain free. Cooked hubby dinner last night. Yesterday was the first day I haven't required a nap. Cleaning the house today and feeling a lot more accomplished!!!
