Popcorn After Gastric Sleeve Surgery....
suzzzzz replied to illgeturhairdid's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok its been anout 48 hrs since u posted that...how do u feel now? Bc im 8 wks out & I want some 2nite....but i dont wanna die tho... Ya know? That post was made in 2011. I would check with your doc before eating it. The husks can get lodged in the staple line. -
Yes. Stalls are normal. Your body will need to heal and then adjust throughout this journey. Don't stress your body more with extra worry. The weight will come off if you stick to your plan. You will be able to feed your body more and more as the swelling goes down.

I didn't keep a log of weightloss and I don't remember when I began losing. Probably week 2 before I went into a 2 week stall. I've learned to let the worry about the scale not moving and know the weight will continue to come off if I stay on plan. I find clothing getting too big more rewarding than what the scale says. And I feel great. Most important.

I had a lot of fatigue requiring naps until I was on solid food for a week or so. Your body is telling you it needs rest for healing. Work may be challenging.

The bubbles may be trapped air. Before you sip, rather outand see if that helps. It is most important to get fluids in so you don't get dehydrated. Your stomach is swollen so you will feel full. Don't push too much liquid at once. Take a 5 minute break and then sip again. It does get easier.

I could have spinach at week 5 but was told to make sure the stems are removed.

This does not seem like normal loss!
suzzzzz replied to Monesty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Increasing your water intake will make a huge difference with losing weight. Also, your body just needs it. I work hard at getting in the required 64 ozs and the days when I get in 80 or more, I feel better. -
The no drinking rule is designed for a lifetime but you get used to it. However not everyone follows it. I did not have an antacid after surgery and had no issues. Everyone is different.

That is going to hurt for a week or more but it does get more tolerable. Just move slowly when you sit or stand or get out of bed.

Question about incision sites
suzzzzz replied to White Sale's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon warned me about hardness potentially at incision site. Said not to worry as it is part of healing. I never touched them. -

Pain Meds - How Long Did You Take?
suzzzzz replied to SeattleSleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went off them after 2 days because I just don't like taking drugs and they tend to cause constipation. The muscle by biggest incision hurt but I found ways to tolerate it. Actually helped me to move around more. Also, i live by myself so i needed to get around and be able to drive. Totally about what works for you. -
Just stick to your plan. Your body is healing and adjusting.

Prilosec crushed or not?
suzzzzz replied to carolynh's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My instructions were to NOT crush any pills. I had no trouble swallowing them whole. One was even big. If your surgeon told you to crush pills and told you to take prilosec, then I would probably crush it or call surgeons office and ask. -

Unsweetened Coconut
suzzzzz replied to Fallinginlovewithmeagain's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The coconut can get stuck in the staple line and cause an infection and or leak. Please follow your surgeons instructions. They were put together to allow your stomach to heal. -
SCARED OF GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY!
suzzzzz replied to SIR.CKRISS's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just remember that after the actual surgery, it is up to you to follow you after care plan exactly as you were told. If questions arise, ask here if general. If specific to eating stages, exercise, and doctor related things, don't hesitate to contact your surgeon. Avoiding many of those complications are within your control. -
60 pounds in 2 months is it possible?
suzzzzz replied to DogMom1204's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It may be possible but not likely. However, I was in Costa Rica last year before surgery and weighed around 290. I had no problem horseback riding or zip lining. They told me it was important to be able to move well and to be flexible, so the weight wasnt an issue. Walk a lot and do aerobics when you are ceared. Had lots of fun! -
I only eat a bite or two of lettuce because I just don't have room for more if I am eating my protein too. Lettuce won't fill you up in the same way.

Stupid question, but do they strip you nude in surgery?
suzzzzz replied to Monigirl76's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You strip yourself and put on a hospital gown before they wheel you into surgery. -

Good for you for calling and asking! -
5 oz of protein OR 10 cookies
suzzzzz replied to jellybean12's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yep. The sleeve is only a tool. We have to do our part. -
Can you check your plan? I was allowed cottage cheese but not fruit at puree stage. Canned fruit was in my soft food stage but nothing with seeds.
