October 2023 surgery buddies
Jinyinjin replied to Shotputqueen's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a revision from the sleeve to the traditional duodenal switch on October 4. The scale isn’t moving a lot but I’m losing inches. Good luck to everyone! -
Before and After Pics
Jinyinjin replied to Roserie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The first pic was taken at my highest weight of 262 and the other was taken last weekend. I'm down 74 pounds. -
I am sure there are tons of threads on this but they're hard to find. I had surgery on March 8,2017. Since then, according to my scale I've only lost 11 pounds in three weeks. Is this normal for anyone? At one week post op, I'd lost six pounds, so that's only five pounds in the two weeks since. Is this normal? I'm exercising. I'm doing everything I should be.

Thank you! I am drinking between 59-64 ounces a day. I need to learn how to measure.

Thank you for the advice!!

Checking at my log, I like yesterday, I had 66 proteins, 16 carbs, and 419 cal. My calories range between 400 to 600, my proteins range from 65 to 80, and my carbs don't usually go over 20. I am using the Baritastic app to log my food.

I'm getting between 65-80 grams a day.

Noodles are very starchy and they are hard for your stomach to process. I would just follow the guidelines they gave you.

6 weeks post op ( feeling weak)
Jinyinjin replied to Sugarnspice's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You should be getting a lot more water than that. Are you taking enough vitamins? -
Okay this weekend I don't know how but I've pulled a muscle in my neck. The doctor wrote me a prescription for muscle relaxers and a steroid. Is this safe to take? I had my surgery March 8.
-
Yes the doctor knew I was.

Thank you!

I am only 10 days post op and I can eat one scrambled egg. From everything I've read, people can't eat more then 2-3 bites without feeling full. Should I be concerned that I can eat one whole scrambled egg and don't feel that way? I'm content after I eat it and I don't feel sick.

Should I be concerned
Jinyinjin replied to Jinyinjin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you! I will. I try to make my meals last as close to 30 minutes as possible. -
Should I be concerned
Jinyinjin replied to Jinyinjin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you guys so much. Yes, I take my time and eat very slowly. I'm glad there isn't something wrong with me. -
8 months and three days..
Jinyinjin replied to Clarevoyant's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations!!! -
So I am nine days post-op and I have to take my vitamins. Does anyone know how long until I can take a pill vitamin? These are just terrible and make me nauseous. Am I doing it wrong by adding it to 6 oz of water?

Does anyone have a preference on which artificial sweetener is the best? I have always just use sugar, so this is a change for me.

Question about surgery
Jinyinjin replied to lb2017's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It totally just depends on your insurance. I had to do four months of medically supervised diet, a psych evaluation and nutrition classes. -

First Night in Hospital
Jinyinjin replied to Mikkos's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
In the hospital they told me to exhale before I swallow my drinks because of gas bubbles in it. That helped me. I don't have to do it so much now ten days post-op. I hope this helps you. I'm glad your recovery has been with minimal pain. Mine was very similar. -
Thanks for the responses everyone.
-
Thank you! I will look for these. I'm not allowed to take capsules for one month so I need something until then.

Best flavoured protein powder?
Jinyinjin replied to The thinner me's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I love the Premier Protein shakes! I have four flavors and I like them all. Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberries and Cream and Bananas and Cream. -
