I can eat 4-6 ounces depending on what it is. I've been lucky I haven't found anything that hurts my new stomach. It is extremely painful to go and it's only 1 or 2 times a week. TMI I know!

Menstrual differences after being sleeved????
cajun_queen replied to Amethyst Acinom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started 2 days before my surgery, it was weirdly light after surgery. My next one after surgery came 4 days early and was horrendously heavy. But I had little to no cramping. -
Since the update I can't edit my stats i.e. surgery date, weight loss etc. Any help would be appreciated!

When does the weight start coming off fast
cajun_queen replied to ayanna_vsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I felt the exact same way. I'm almost 4 weeks post op, and at the same point you are I was really discouraged. Especially when I was able to start puréed food (1 week post op). I felt the the tiny amount I was eating was keeping me from losing. But I stuck with it and my doctors instructions and the weight is coming off now. Good luck to you and hang in there it will get better soon! -
I started swallowing 2 vitamins 1 week after surgery.

Every policy can vary greatly. I'm in Texas, most policies vary depending on employer. Your employer discusses details that it does or doesn't not want for their employees. I had first appt. with Bariatric surgeon on Jan. 12th and was sleeved Feb. 28th.

TMI Question for the Ladies
cajun_queen replied to tlh4life's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was in the middle of my cycle when I had surgery. They said no tampon, but let me keep my panties and pad on during surgery. They did ask to make sure I had cotton panties on, not nylon or spandex. -
What are you eating 3wk postop?
cajun_queen replied to SleevedinSI's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Baby food has been my goto. Refried beans, mashed cauliflower, yogurt. -
I am in the same situation as you, I was really losing until I was able to start puréed food. I feel horrible when I eat because I'm so scared to gain more weight.

Hi Risa900! It will get better every day!! My doc said I don't need protein shakes, thank goodness! The protein shakes killed my stomach before surgery and after. I'm on puréed now and she said to get my protein from beans, since they have protein and fiber. They push a Mediterranean diet, so fruits veggies and fish. Good luck to you!

Saying goodbye to fast food
cajun_queen replied to About time for me's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I guess you can I went on a binge, I made a list of all the things I really like and will never eat again. And I ate what was on my list, after eating I was like okay I'm done with that. Pretty much at peace with my food funerals. Everyone copes differently and I feel it was something I needed to do. I had a 2 week preop liquid diet and was fine with that. I am now 1 week post-op and down 25 pounds. Good luck, do what feels right!! -
I am having this problem too. I was sleeved on Feb. 28th and even the smallest sip causes immediate cramping followed by lots of burping. Where is this air in my tummy coming from?

Surgery was postponed
cajun_queen replied to chache64's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't think they would stop surgery if your BMI dropped. I think whatever they submitted to insurance will be what they go by. Don't sweat it!!
