Alcohol! When did you first drink
pumpedandready replied to Supernovae's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a Cosmo at 2 months out and was fine. Didn't feel any difference than before surgery. I do limit myself to 1 when I do have a drink which isn't very often and I drink it very slowly. I don't have anything with carbonation. I am now 3 months out and have had maybe 3 drinks since surgery. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app -
I just spoke to my NUT on friday about this very thing. I am at 7 weeks out and down 30 lbs. She told me I should still be getting my water and protein in and eating 800-1000 calories and no more than 100g of carbs. Carbs should be coming mainly from fruits and vegetables. Less than this will create stalls because the body will think it is being starved. As you progress the calorie intake should gradually increase. My energy was almost nil untilI started increasing my calories. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

I am 5 weeks out and in a 2 week stall have lost 27 lbs since pre-op diet. I am pleased with the weight loss so far and I have noticed some body changes in mainly my legs. I still have a big belly bloat and have not gone into any smaller sizes in anything. You would think at 27 kbs less I would at least be down 1 sz, so frustrating, just venting. Also at this stage how many ounces is everyone eating with each meal. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

You sound like me my surgery was 8/14 and I have gradually increased my food intake to 6 oz meals and 3 oz snacks as well. I was hungry all the time and that helped. But my belly is not budging. I walk about 1 1/2 miles a day and am sticking to what is on my soft food list, and getting my protein and water in most of the time. I still feel tired a lot and don't have the energy I was hoping for. This 2 week stall I am in is so frustrating. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

How much weight did everyone loss within the first month???
pumpedandready replied to southernbellair79's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was Aug. 14th and I am right with you 27 lbs from my pre-op to now. I was stalled all of my 3rd week but starting to lose again in the last few days. Really hard getting all my water and protein in even though I haven't experienced any problems with anything I am eating, it is just a lot to take in. I did just increase my meals from 4 oz to 6 oz because I seemed hungry all the time. I think that got my stall moving. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app -
I experienced the itchy hives all over my torso for a week. Doctor said it was reaction to the trauma to my stomach and the meds. I took beneydrl and used hydrocortisone cream and it cleared up within a few days Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

I am almost 4 weeks post op and am curious about how many ounces everyone is eating at this stage. I have no problems eating or drinking and eat 4 to 5 small meals at 2-4 ounces a day plus at least 1 protein shake. Drink my water and find the crystal lite squirt flavoring helps. I don't concern myself with calories right now and just focus on my protein and water intake. But I feel hungry quite often and am in the 3 week stall, now I wonder if I am taking in to many ounces or not enough. I have lost 25 #'s from pre op to date and am on soft foods.

How does anyone stretch 2 oz. of food to 20 minutes. I can't even get close to that. And not drinking for 30 min. after you eat, I need something to wash it down. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

I do weigh or measure everything and I am meeting my goals I just can't eat slow. The drinking I am working on. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

But I don't feel sick and have no issues with drinking after I eat. I was a flight attendant for 15 years and always ate in a rush so slowing down is very difficult. 2 oz is like 4 bites 1 bite every 5 min. I just find it impossible. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

Surgery August 16th
pumpedandready replied to Deegil's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just saw my doc and he stated I would not have a full feeling until I start more solid foods my stomach is just a straw right now with liquids just passing through until it heals. As far as the hunger feeling it is real but should pass in time. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app -
