So I just got back from the hospital, I'm have weakness in my arms and legs and I'm also cramping they diagnosed me with gas and nausea either they are very stupid or I'm just a wuss

Has anyone ever experienced this sort of pain please help I really don't think it's gas the gas pain is different from the one I'm experiencing now????

I had a post op appt Friday7/24 post op day 7 to have a drain removed, I lost 9.1lbs

I've lost 20 lbs. in the last ten days and I'm truly freaking out I don't know if that is to fast I know everyone is different but I thought everyone loses 10-12lbs the first week SMH

Thank goodness We are exactly the same time of surgery do you mind if I asked how much weight you've lost so far but just from surgery until now

At least I'm not alone. I see so many people that can only take a bite or two and that makes me panic. ????

lol me too

Two days post sleeve my girlfriend caught me with a small Jello pudding (100 cal) and I saw the eyes of my maker and they were not happy. Later I ate the rest in peace.

so you have one too an over protective spouse lol only in secret can we enjoy ourselves

@@Jenyp8409 - I am almost 12 weeks post op and hubby like to eat out, ALOT.

Saturday night we went to Red Lobster and I was sitting there not having anything to drink, nothing to eat (waiting on my meal)...while he was guzzling sweet tea, eating a salad and munching on those cheesy cheddar bay biscuits...I haven't had one since before WLS - I got one and starting eating it. He said "what are you doing?" I said "eating, I am hungry, I haven't ate since Breakfast (8:30ish) and I am trying to wait patiently on my food." I ate about half of a small one and felt SOOOOO GUILTY. I am ordering an appetizer from now on for dinner or I am going to tell waitress to bring atleast part of my food (broccoli) when he gets his salad. I usually order a salad but it defeats the "Protein first" rule so I have quit ordering salads & any kind of drink.

I completely hate going out cause my hubby is a snack person so that mean getting chip, hamburger etc lol and I truly fear (dramatic my hubby says) that I will try to grab something when he is not looking

Too funny! Cookie drama and pudding catastrophe. I'm still pre op, but I'm sure I'll be back here soon, confessing my moment of reckoning too! I have a feeling it'll involve liquor! ????

I'm pretty sure you'll be fine but I'm not a drinker so I couldn't tell you lol

I had surgery on the 17 I also had to deal with that a the doctor told me I wasn't eating enough to try to take in 2oz. Every hour until my stomach got use to the fact that I will be on that diet for a while It took me two days to get the head hunger controlled and I haven't had a problem so far with that Campbell Cream of chicken and Tomato Soup was what I was drinking to days and it helped now I'm on mushy food and some soft solids hope it help in some way

I had the same thing and my doctor recommended to walk that It was the gas build up from surgery and the only way it would definitely go way was walking but call your surgeon he will tell you what Is right for you

So like two days ago my hubby bought Cookies for the kid soft chewy one... Smh.. And he gave one to my son and he was eating it... Like any three year old would do when he doesn't want it he likes to shove it in their mothers mouth... And he did and me like an idiot started chewing on it, I was so distracted I didn't realize that I've just had some thing sweet put in my mouth...only being 9days out of surgery I completely panic I spit out the cookie and started crying I was afraid that I was going to have dumping syndrome I wash my mouth and my hubby was like what's going why are crying I was in complete shock then he's all like look at me calm down your not going to die... I lashed out and told him I could I just ate part of a cookie ( I'm a bit of a drama queen LOL) and the next words that came out of his mouth completely slapped me across the face and brought me back to reality (Are you in PAIN, if not don't be so dramatic until you are ) lol I am happy to report I didn't feel sick not one bit THANK GOD

Please feel free to put your dramatic moment of your journey with surgery would love to here them

Lol I can take 48oz. Of Water and 12oz. Of Protein I eat 3 times a day and can eat 3-4 oz per meal sometimes 5 oz. I'm on soft mushy foods but also can tolerate soft solid I'm only 9 days out of surgery and I sometimes feel like I'm eating to much thanks for posting this I feel some relieve

I'm very sorry that your having trouble with post op diet but to be completely honest they do tell us it going to be hard if you truly dwell on the food you can and can not your whole journey will be a mess don't mean to sound rude and you are farther along than I am so maybe I don't know yet...lol.. I'm only a week out from surgery and I don't crave the food I use to because I only think of my future and what I will look like and how I'm going to feel... try to see if that helps you I know it's helping me... I'm not saying that in the next couple of weeks I'm not going to crave junk cause I probably am but having a mind set on the future really helps good luck on your journey and I will have you in my prayers and remember you will eventually eat normal food

Thank you every one surgery was great no complications I am 4 days out of surgery with minor pain thanks again for your thoughts and prayers

Thank you I will

Thank you it truly is such an encouragement to hear this words

Has anyone ever gotten Gastric bypass surgery or any other WLS with a40% or less working heart I need some info having surgery tomorrow

I'm having surgery Friday July 17 too and I have to say reading nag this made me feel better because I definitely cheated on my diet too but I have been doing good so far.... Extremely excited for Friday many blessings to you and I will be praying for both of us????

Hey I'm having surgery God willing on Friday July 17... It is a very big deal and you should have some support I will be praying for you...????

I'm six days way form my surgery and my church is having this big anniversary potluck... I also have to bring a potato salad and I'm so worried I'm going to pig out I feel like skipping it ????

July 17th

me too I'm so excited

sleep apnea is usually considered a reason for surgery from the insurance stand point... especially as it is a co-morbidity if your BMI alone does not make you eligible for the surgery per your insurance. But I see you are scheduled and ready to go so all is well Good luck to you on your surgery!

thanks

I don't have to start my pre-op diet until the 10th I only have to do it one week but I've been practicing and its hard I start to cry ever time I cheat.... I hope that when I actually start I can make it through the whole thing with out cheating I know that we can do it though

I scheduled mines on 17th and I'm so excited....

I'm going to call them to make sure though

I'm having surgery on the 17th and I feel like crying every time I think about it.. I don't think it because I'm scared more extremely excited I'm such an emotional person.... I think that's why I'm over weight cause my hormones are out of whack LOL
