    Only 10 more days and I can finally eat something! Of course, I'm not going to cheat on the post-op diet... I don't want to hurt myself (plus I'm not a gigantic pig who can't control herself)... But I really want something to eat! I'm not talking a hugh fried chicken meal with french fries... I just want a subway or something! On the plus side, I have lost 25 pounds in 19 days! :biggrin:

    so frustrated

    ponytail replied to teddy12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    You lost 85 pounds! Don't get it reversed! I understand sometimes it can make you sick and sometimes you'rea t the end of your rope, but you have already lost so much, why not just keep up the good work? Eat to live, don't live to eat. You'll just gain it all back and that would suck.

    I didn't even feel like eating for a week and by then I could have my shakes, so I never really got hungry.

    All I'm saying is it's a little sacrifice. Yes, the liquid/mushey diet is HARD! (Can I say that again? HARD!)... yes, a lot of it isn't glamourous (farting)... but freaking loosing 20 pounds in 2 weeks is nice. Having people tell you that it's working is nice. This will pass and, aside from the farting, you'll be happy you did it.

    Burping and the Band.

    ponytail replied to TxChelsey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm burping a little, but I enjoy it :-) Seriously, it's not bad at all. I's nothing you can't squelch and it's really nothing if you try not to swallow air when you eat or drink. The farting is worse. Ohhh, yes. The farting is much worse.

    I get my first fill in two weeks and I feel so much like I don't need it. I get full so fast, stay full for a long time (4-5 hours) and I am loosing a pound a day. So, I'm saying, you need a fill if you're not loosing weight. If you're loosing weight, save the fill for later.

    Talk to me in two weeks when you've lost 25 pounds and have everyone telling you that it looks like you've lost weight. You won't be whining so much then.

    I was banded on 3/26 and I lost 20 pounds since then. No pre-op diet.

    I'm at my solid food phase, but my first fill is in another week. When you were in this position, did you feel full faster and stay full longer? When I eat, I get full really quickly and stay full a long time (I'm eating 3 very small meals a day), so I don't think I really require a fill yet (I'm loosing a pound a day). What was your experiance?

    energy

    ponytail replied to sgtswife's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My protein shake gives me SO much energy ALL DAY LONG! Maybe you should try a different protein shake??
  12. ponytail
    Ohhh, I couldn't have done it without my loved ones! My mom waited on my hand and foot (and still does 15 days post op), my boyfriend stayed the night with me in the hospital cramped up in a chair with little to no sleep... They were the best!

    Question about protein shakes?

    ponytail replied to nesser081982's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I love my Protein shakes... they taste sooooo good and give e so much energy (15 days post op). But they make my breath stink like crazy! lol,m I have to brush after every shake!
  14. ponytail
    I had to fight and fight and call and call for my records. It seemes like it took forever. Now I'm 15 days post-op and it all seems like a fast blur.

    I couldn't sleep on my side for about 3 days bcause it hurt too much. I guess whatever feels comfortable for you. Coughing can't dislodge anything. The port is burried in muscle. People get Pnomenuia after surgery all the time and their ports don't become dislodged. My doctor said I couldn't do anything to bust my stiches or anything like that, it'll just hurt.

    I have been handeling mushey foods just fine and I was wondering if I could have scrambled eggs. Is that allowed in the 2-4 weeks-post op diet?
  17. ponytail
    My boyfriend, who stayed the night in the hospital with me, sleeping in a chair. Otherwise... Crystal light my mom a pillow and my pain mediction. Other than that, you wont feel like eating all that Soup and Jello and pudding. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS!!! I was up an attem 4 days post of with very little pain. It's a nothing surgery, really.
