Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
NewBodySoon replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes but you might be losing inches while not necessarily pounds. Any lose is a win in my opinion. We women are visual creatures when it comes to our weight sonic we dont [emoji102] that scale moving [emoji676] we begin do doubt the process. Minds over matters ladies. Stay strong [emoji123] and keep going even when the scale is not following you[emoji125] [emoji467] [emoji474] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
NewBodySoon replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my sleeve this August 24th. I am 21 day post op. Weight myself today and lost only 2lbs since last Friday for a total of 22 lbs since the surgery. Although I would love to continue to lose atleast 5lbs x wk I know I have to be thankful for the 2 lbs lost. Its minds over matters[emoji85]. But some weight lose is better then none. I just feel that now that I am in phase 3 of soft/pureed foods my stomach gets bloated and I feel I gain lbs instead of continuing to lose? [emoji86] again... minds over matters lol.

Same here! I bought bra with no under wires. That helped. I am now 21 days out and lost a total of 22 lbs. I guess I'm losing a lbs x day rate. I'll take that over not losing nothing at all. Hope everyone is having a great experience this far? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm on phase 3 as of today. But I must say its nerve wracking moving into this phase as you dont really know what yo est and when you do find something it doesn't always gets approved by your new pooch [emoji30]. For me for instance it just hurt going down my stomach. And it just feels like its stuck there so immediately my though is to go back to phase 1[emoji85] . Its almost as if I fear seeing my tummy expand just even a little. I'm like [emoji15] oh nooooo!! This post OP phases are really challenging. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -

My surgery was the 24th. Phase 1 From 8/25- 8/27. Phase 2 from 8/28- 9/11. Phase 3 from 9/11- 10/9. Phase 4 from 10/9 - lifetime. I am still on Phase 2, so maybe you went into phase 2 too soon?? Here I will upload a picture of my Post-Op plan. Thanks for the patch and headache info. That's what I thought since I haven't introduced anything new but the patches. So maybe liquids it is. Like you said anything is better than this massive pressure headaches. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -

Okay. Thank you! I will try that one and see how it goes. You just feel that pressure to stay on top of what's required that when you dont meet it you feel like oh crap[emoji45] . I have my first post OP follow up appointment tomorrow I will bring this up and see how it goes. As far as what I have been having on my phase 2 diet is broth, creamed based chicken soup, jello, tea but I feel like I need to get my protein from other things to be honest at this point I am so sick of broth and shakes lol.

Since surg have you been able to keep up with your protein/liquid intakes? Because I find myself not meeting the 64oz per day that I am required to. I might meet as far as 45 to 50oz of liquids. Also the premiere protein shake that I have been taken now with my new stomach doesnt feel so good. I've been doing the sip wait for it sip wait for it sip thing and when having the shake it just feels like it just drops hard in my stomach then I feel what's like kind of a bit of pain/discomfort in my stomach.[emoji22] Like am I lactose intolerant now [emoji45] [emoji85] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -

And it will trust me. I am 8 days out. By my 3rd day home I was trying to speed the process lol but you have to keep reminding yourself to take baby steps. You want proper healing not rush the healing to only have complications down the road. We must remember this is no short cut this is lifestyle change[emoji6] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -

Dont be. You dont want to raise your blood pressure. Trust in your choice, trust in your surgeon and his staff that all will be good because it will. Just listen to meditation music to keep your mind clear. You will be in good hands[emoji120] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -

It's sad but at least they caught that discrepancy on time. Its major surgery and you want her to be good to go. You will do just fine. Prayers help alot.

Hey everyone! My surgery was Friday August 24th 2018. So far 4 days post op . And I am doing great moving into face to full liquids. The only thing I can say is that I've only had discomfort from the right side incision of where they took the stomach out from. Other than that all good. No nausea, no vomiting, no pain. I don't regret this at all. Just making sure I'm following everything to the T. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -
