Oceanlove

Ty so much I’m loving the feedback. I never thought about the protein drink as creamer. I’m going to give that a try. As for my name lol yes I love the ocean I worked for a cruise line and loved being out on the ocean.

So as it said I’m a bit over 4 months. Highest weight was 316. I’m now sitting at 228 as of this morning. I was wearing a size 28/30. Now I’m wearing a size 20 comfortably. Now where I need thoughts and opinions here is. I’m getting hungry more frequently now. I tend to wake up in the morning very hungry. I hate having that feeling. what does everyone else do? Do you wake up nearly starving? Another issue I’m seeing is I’m going nearly in a three week cycle. Where one week I loose almost 7-10 pounds then I sit at that weight for almost a full 3 weeks. Its driving me nuts. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong here. Im eating around 800-1200 calories a day. I don’t do protein drinks very often I tend to get protein from meats. Im eating nuts as a snack. I have started eating tortilla chips but I’m stopping that I think that killed me for a week allowing that carb back in. As a rule I don’t eat pasta, bread, and rice. I have let in too many carbs and sugar I think. I don’t eat sweets but I have been eating apple and peanut butter. I also have a 12 oz coffee with French vanilla creamer every morning. I also realized I forget a lot more than I should no drinking before or after rule Any thoughts, suggestions and opinions are very welcome.

You will get there!!! Just think not so long ago you were pre op. You made it here😀

By 3 months I was eating all veggies and fruits. I craved salad and veggies.

I had surgery 6/20/18. My bs lvl sits generally around 90-100 all the time. If I eat ofc depends on carbs or sugar I still have the spike up to upper 100”s. Then after 1-2 hrs generally speaking a hour or so, I drop back to 90-100 range. This is a normal effect even for non diabetics.

I started out measuring everything to make sure I was not eating crazy amounts. The first month I could eat about 4tablespoons at a time before I thought I would explode. It’s now 3 months post surgery I started at 316 and I’m at 244 currently. However I kinda freaked out this evening because I had a lean cuisine meal steak bits in a sauce with broccoli then a applesauce cup. All in one meal that was 7.5 oz plus 4 oz. this is not my normal by any means I’m surprised I could eat all that. It just shows me that I need to always be on guard with the what and how much I’m eating. As a general rule since my surgery I do not eat breads, flour, rice, pasta, potatoes and avoid surgery items. No carbonated drinks. Its a struggle believe me but we we can do it.

I would hope me being 12 weeks post op it would have been dissolved already

I had my RNY June 20 th. I have lost 62 pounds. But this last two days I have had this tear, burning pain really low on left side. It shoots from about 3-4 inches long. But it starts if I sneeze, move wrong or twist. It’s not constant but it lets me know it’s still there. I called surgery office they seem to think it’s normal but idk. If I kinda push in on the area it’s sore. I did not lift or do anything to cause pulled muscle. I’m kinda worried it might be hernia or lord knows what. It’s almost even maybe a tad lower than belly button and about 6 inches to the left. Any help or ideas appreciated.

I did not have the diarrhea issue nor did I have blood in my poo. You really need to see your Dr. my Dr. definitely did not mention anything about blood coming out of anywhere being normal.

I’m post op gastric bypass 7 weeks. Lost 55 pounds up to this point. I have PCOS, insulin resistance as well. I’m hoping that I will get my period and start ovulating. Even though it’s too soon to get pregnant it’s a step in the right direction. I hope the best for all who have PCOS.

Awesome I have not seen anyone other than one other who had surgery on my day. Yay! My nutritionist says my program is ultra conservative compared to most. So I asked about absolutely no no’s. So I have been exploring things on my own little by little. Like I added canned veggies and thin sliced deli meat. I have noticed some strange things though. Like I could do scrambled eggs just fine on the third week but now I cannot tolerate them. And I also noticed my inability to tolerate sweet as gotten stronger. First week I could at least tolerate Powerade but now I cannot stand it that it’s too sweet. Just a lot of odd things like that.

Yippee!!! I’m so excited for you. I can’t wait to see you on the post side of things. Mine was a long time coming. 9 years getting here. So I know how you feel. I’m praying for you all the way.

When is your surgery I thought it was this month?

Surgery was 6/20 so 7 wks our and I’m wanting veggies and fresh fruits. But according to my plan I have to wait till 3 months. Where are you at in your food stages? Highest weight 316 leaving hospital post surgery 306 current weight 255 goal weight 135

So I’m now 7 wks post op. I have lost 54 pounds since May 26th which was the start of pre surgery diet. I lost 24 pounds pre surgery then gained 20 back due to fluids as I left hospital after 4 days in hospital post surgery. Since being out of hospital I lost everything again and lost a total of 54. So I suppose I’m just slightly disappointed that after 7 weeks I have not lost more than 30 lbs of new weight because I really don’t count the 24 pounds of weight I lost pre surgery. Where were you at at this 7-9 week post op on weight loss?
