Post-op Needs & Random Question
dreamingsmall replied to LINZ62383's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't know what you will have. You need to check with your surgeon. I did not have a drain. I have seen many have them. I wouldn't prepare pureed food. I did. And ended up throwing them out. Your taste buds changes so you need to see what you like at the time. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app -
Average Weight Loss
dreamingsmall replied to GlowingGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've had a sleeve and 70 percent of my excess weight will be 76lbs loss by 12 months. I've already lost almost 60lbs and I'm 4 months post. Granted it slows down as time goes on..but I'm pretty sure I'll lose more than predicted. And many people lose 100 percent of there excess weight I wouldn't think about it to much. Just stick to your plan. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app -

Birth Control Post-op?
dreamingsmall replied to Jenna1896's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got to the end .... Your considering the 'pull out method' hmm okay well good luck. I'd say that method is for those who don't mind if a little swimmer sneaks in lol not for someone serious about not getting pregnant. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app -
Birth Control Post-op?
dreamingsmall replied to Jenna1896's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The pull out method is not a reliable form of contraception anyway. I know many do it and feel successful till they try it with a new partner and find themselves pregnant lol though I thought it's just teenagers who do the pull out method. Hehe. Good idea to get on contraception now as losing weight you .. you end up looking at a guy and being pregnant lol. Happened to me when I lost weight fast on another diet. Depo injection works for me.

Gaining weight back
dreamingsmall replied to Pamcalma's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No ones judging you. If your eating nothing and gaining 20lbs you need to see a doctor. There is no judgment in pointing out the obvious. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app -

IV fluids during first few weeks after surgery?
dreamingsmall replied to tBot's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lol I'm in the UK since when is saying something sounds bonkers (crazy) to me became an insult when ? We answered your question. But no problem. Will just scroll past like most people did. I wasn't being insulting it's a pretty common phrase here. Plus your the one who mentioned going to these people are cheaper than an ER visit lol so no it wasn't rudeness on my part pointing out the obvious. Go ahead and go to them instead of the ER doesn't effect anyone we were just trying to help. You should say thank you for answering. Next time I'll just scroll past like most people did.Bye. -

Gaining weight back
dreamingsmall replied to Pamcalma's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You didn't mention your snack. When you ready to be honest let us know. If your only eating that.. plus that you added then you need to see your doctor because gaining 20lbs on like 500 Cal's lol need medical attention if that's true.. How can we help you get on track if apparently your barely eating anything . We all have the times were we have said " no idea why I'm gaining weight I barely eat anything" till someone reminds you " what about this.. what about that. " Good luck. -
