aelovelady replied to ambernamber's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lost allot of hair over 2-3 months. It stopped and is now coming in. -
10 days post op
aelovelady replied to kmbrlroberts's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have never had any bad symptoms from eating. I actually went through a period where I questioned whether or not they did the surgery at all. Just chew well, eat slowly and listen to your body. You will be great! -
I am struggling also, I am almost 8 months and have 15 lbs. what has been working for me though is logging every bite, not eating after dinner and exercising 6 days a week. Make sure you get your fluids.

How many of you didnt need plastics?
aelovelady replied to lopez948's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have lost 96, I have 15 to go. I won't be getting plastic surgery. -
Congratulations! you look amazing!

I drink full caffeine coffee!

Just be careful with liquid calories. They won't fill you up, so it's really just a waste. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk (30 calories per cup) and I use about 1/2 cup for a 16 oz cup of coffee. Good luck!

Does anyone use an app on their phone?
aelovelady replied to tberger74's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The App Store has quite a few new ones that actually track water, vitamins, medication etc. I use my fitness pal, but I am not tracking water etc. it just has the most extensive database of food, I don't pay that much attention to the calories as the nutrition and volume -
Your scale or only the Dr.'s scale?
aelovelady replied to SkinnyDown's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Enjoy this phase! It is really remarkable! -
My husband did not take off except for the day of surgery and two days after when I came home from the hospital.

That is great! Congratulations!! -
Your scale or only the Dr.'s scale?
aelovelady replied to SkinnyDown's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I weigh two times per week using my own scale, I weigh the exact time of day, wearing the exact same thing. -
Weight gain in hospital?
aelovelady replied to Martene81's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would track it as weight lost. -
I am 45 and have lost 94 of my 111 lb goal. I have extra skin on my arms that I am not happy about, but I am going to build some muscle and consider surgery later. My stomach isn't that bad, I have had 4 children, so my expectations weren't that high in that area.
-
I was never told to stay away from coffee. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk (30 calories per cup). I haven even discussed this with my surgeon and he said it was fine!
-
That is great, so I wanted to look at mine and despite 94 of 111 lbs lost, I am still "overweight" by 3 lbs. I was a little disappointed, but it put me back on track mentally!

Postop Day 2: gas pain and NSV
aelovelady replied to KDM74's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations! That is great news, about your blood pressure. It does get better, each day! -
Congratulations!!

My fitness pal calorie ranges are not for gastric bypass patients, they are for the average dieter. Please enjoy this part of your journey, when you don't need a lot of calories to fill you up. This is where the greatest weight loss happens!

2 months post-op
aelovelady replied to Heybrendacleo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think statistically the overall weight loss you can expect with gastric by-pass is much higher than that of sleeve patients. Keep moving and drinking water, it will come! -
no bread no pasta... wonton wrappers?
aelovelady replied to EYEZONTHEPRIZE's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have never heard of not being able to eat bread or pasta. I would think wonton wrappers would fall in this category. -
When did you start running after surgery?
aelovelady replied to F4T-TRAP's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was approved also within a couple of weeks of surgery. Just listen to your body, start slow. Good luck
