Updates on December 2015 Surgeries
beckyrow replied to bugsy72's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my sleeve done on the 14th of December. Doc says I still can't work out because it's a struggle to hydrate right now without the exercise. I'll be happy when I can again. Everything has gone well which is a blessing. I'm on mushy foods right now, but try a bite of regular food every now and again. Some goes down easy and other times it hurts like crazy. Dr said my stomach will let me know when it's healed. I'm currently down 36.4lbs, 18 of which were lost pre-op. I go days without any loss and then mornings like this, I wake up and have lost a pound. My dr said if I find myself at a stand still, lay off the Protein shakes. -

I had that issue with steri strips when I had my gall bladder removed. Nurse said I was allergic to adhesive, so I make sure to tell them now not to use them. -

. I hit a plateau two weeks after surgery. I stuck with it and had less protein shakes and more actual food and now the pounds are rolling off. -

Calories aren't an issue right now. Just focus on getting plenty of fluids and protein. #1 is fluids because it's easy to get dehydrated.

My dr insists on liquids for 3 weeks after surgery. Today was hard with everyone eating yummy Christmas dinner. I will say I snuck a nibble of stuffing. Looking forward to purées! -
I'm two weeks post op and my dr has me on liquids for 3 weeks, so I envy your ability to have purées. ????

My doctor's instructions are to weigh daily. I'll switch to not so frequent.

I was sleeved on December 14th which was only a week and a half ago. I lost 18 lbs before surgery and for some reason the weight loss has come almost to a screeching halt since then. Everyone says the biggest loss comes in the months right after surgery. I've been stuck with no loss for almost a week! I know stalls will happen, but already?!?

I was also sleeved on the 14th! I'm just sipping all day and trying not to focus so much on the specific numbers. An ounce or 2 of unsweetened apple juice really helps me every day. Miso soup seems to be my favorite so far. I'm looking forward to trying purées.

I explained to her that she is not privy to my medical concerns that made the surgery necessary as soon as possible. I also helped her understand some of the things about it that are not what she thought. I don't think I made her a believer, but maybe she'll think twice before judging the next person in my shoes. -

I only told a select few and yesterday affirmed why. I was at church and someone noticed the huge bruise on my arm where my IV blew out. She asked if I was ok and I told her I just had a medical procedure done. She smarted off that she hopes it wasn't a stupid weight loss surgery. I didn't tell people because I didn't care to hear their opinion on what I was doing to my body. Guys seem to be more apt to put it out there, but then again men aren't caddy like women. -
