Day Two and Feeling Good -- Too Good?
Gucci replied to SeattleSleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good morning! You sound like me, iwas wondering where all the pain & throwing up was, by day 5 i was doing everything except driving YOU ARE GOING TO BE VERY HUNGER! PHYSICAL HUNGER, not head hunger! When you do taste a drop of food, it's going to melt in your mouth, no atter what it is or who prepared it! I did my 2 wk liquid w/ about 85% success , I skipped the puree & im moving on to soft solids, the intense hunger was killings me, im reading the post where people say thet not hungry & have to make themselves eat & drink! I be. Like, thats a lie!! Oh yeah get ready for the constipation!!! P.s try not to let any one cook or bring any fast food around you! Dont go in pubic for at least 10 days, the temptation of food is like the devil! I noticed sinc my surgery, just simply watchin tv , that 4 out of 5 comercials are food commercials! Look bottom line you may feel good but it takes time to heal! Be very careful & make good decisions within your preop diet! From what i hear, a leak can be life threatening!!! Im now 12 days p.o. & im ONLY 12lbs down & im on liquids & soft small solid bites, appx. 3-4 bites, & hiccups is the sign of fullness , also an over all back & chest discomfort & lots of heartburn! Get some women 1 a day gummies, u will look forward to one every day Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Girl, i can drink or sip @ least 5oz ( equivalent to 10-12 medium sips appx. the size of a Jim Bean whiskey glass) wit not much problem, as long as i pat my chest in the manor of a baby feeding, to get a burp up! Solids are different, i ate 4 bites if my friends chineese food yesterday & suffered greatly! But other softer food, i hv no problem with, for example, yesterday i went to a watch Party !!Go cowboys, i ate 1/3 slice pizza & brought my own non alcoholic beverage, no problem! Your body will let you know what your limits are. I think it depends on the individual, I was never one with a weak stomach b4 surgery, & I believe the people who are throwing up alot really aren't following their diet like they suspose to,because it requires you to be extremely hungry &everyone cant handle that , but I guarantee we have had the same quality of work as in tha us!!! What hospital were you in ? Who was your doc? Did you see me? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Enlarged Thyroid/ 6 days PO/little weight loss
Gucci posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sooo im Sitting in my generals practitioners office for routine check up ( not related to Bariatric center doctor) 6 days post opp... 282, no official weight loss, only the Fluid weight from surgery & IV's (281 at hospital admission 12/15 & 287 @ hospital release 12/17) & Doc is thinkin something's wrong because if ive been on liquid s this whole time, there should be a few more pounds off the scale , especially, since i was exactly 282 exactly 30 days ago in his office... SO He give me the Thyroid neck test where you swallow.... and there it was... Doc was puzzled as to why he had not noticed it b4, since i go see him every 30 days for my Adipex 37.5! So im schedule for some kind of X ray & scan.... im still hanging in there!!! Im very active and go to the gym no problem... but i couldn't figure out why i was still gaining weight at a not so slow rate! If anyone knows about this Thyroid thing, please give me some insight, ive never had many health problems & im still mildly young so not sure what all this mean, if it means , DOES IT MEAN MY SLEEVE NIT GONE WORK? ⚠️GUYS NO MATTER HOW MUCH U SPEND ON QUICK FIXES, ITS ALWAYS A SLOW PROCESS TRYING TO BEAT THE BATTLE OF THE BULDGE Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Ok ???? well my apologies i think everyone is a open as i am-RESPECT(towards you), but on some real stuff ( not sure if you can cuss on here im kinda new also) im the coolest person you ever wanna meet, but i turn into a She when im hungry, as i have been since 12/15! Look, ma you gotta be strong i know its not easy! But your gonna thank yourself & modern medicine & God, when people start giveing you compliment, trust me , it give you life when people compliment you on your success! Granted ive always been obese, but within the last year i became morbidly obease @ 290, thats when i decided on the procedure, now where thinging my unexpected weight gain may. Hv been because of a Thyroid problems, well i wish some would hv told me that 4,500$ ago, im a self pay patient, i went to Tijuana for my procedures, so by my doc not being in the states, as hungy and as hangry as i hv become, I knew there was no room for error! You are playing a very dangerous game! If stomach acid leaks into your diaphragm, its a wrap (its over) , please live & be great ???? ???? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congrats now get ready for your very emotional break up with food, im 6 days out & so hungry & hangry @ tha same time Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I think this person is fake guys! No info on the profile? Look im 6 days post opp & if anyone is having a hard time withe the 2 wk liquid post opp diet (followed by 2 wk soft foods) its me!!! But bcuz my dr. Is im Mexico, i cant play with this, at times i feel like im going insane ive been so hungery!T his person seems to hv given up before he or she left the operating table! Im a social media celebrity & i know all about fake profiles, some one could be play with us while we are taking time to type our heartfelt concerns.... think about it, you cant even physically sip the liquids b4 a few days , but this person says they been eating everything in less than a week? Dont sound right but, ok ... as you can see im hangry & have no sympathy Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
