You look great and I’m sure you feel it too! -
Anyone Have March Surgery Date?😊
Tamarita replied to Lily66's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I'm cold all the time! I didn't think this would start until I lost a substantial amount of weight. I'm sitting here with two blankets and a shawl on and sleep with an electric blanket on at night. -
My surgery was on the 3rd also and like you, I haven't lost anything for several days. I've been tired and taken naps for the few days but otherwise feel ok. I'm think I'm tired simply because of the low calories (I'm still on full liquids only). Maybe this is just part of the healing process. It sounds like you're doing everything right. If you continue feeling run down or are concerned, I recommend to reach out to your care team. I hope you feel better soon!!

I've had the worst cravings today; it's been terrible! I craved fried chicken, grilled chicken, a boiled egg...ANYTHING chicken that I can actually chew! I know this is all a mental thing as I haven't been physically hungry since the surgery. The liquids and jello just didn't satisfy the beast today. 😒

I know the feeling. I'm 2 weeks post op... I actually took a PC. Of my 6 year old daughter's chicken wing, chewed it up and then spit it into the garbage. It took the craving away and I didn't feel bad because I didn't swallow it. It was perfect. I felt the need to chew because I've been drinking liquids for a month now. I say if you attempt it, make sure you have the will power not to swallow it. (It's hard not to.. trust me)

Today was much better! I pureed some potato soup and found the change enough to ease the cravings.
Kharisma, Good for you for not swallowing that nugget! lol I'd try the chewing/spitting out thing but fortunately we cleansed the house well before my surgery.
Gsleeve2010, I know you're right and I look forward to retraining my brain. I won't give in to my unhealthy head cravings but they sure are a bear to deal with!

I'm sorry he said that to you. He may be feeling a little insecure now that you've actually gone through with the procedure.

March 2020 Post-op Thread

Kristyle, thank you! I’m sure it seems like a no brainer and I know you’re right but I’m obsessing about it for some reason. -
March 2020 Post-op Thread
Tamarita replied to biginjapan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my RNY on 3 March. I have little pain and can meet my water/protein goals just fine. My problem is I haven't moved my bowels yet and I'm beginning to worry. I'm taking Docusate and Miralax. How long does it normally take before the first poo after surgery? -
Day 3 post op and can drink liquids so well it scares me
Tamarita replied to CammyC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was 3/3 also. I've been able to meet my Protein and Water intake goals also. I've read that things change once we transition to regular foods in that we will be able to feel full. -
Day 4, things seem so easy, now I'm worried
Tamarita replied to Katheryn0303's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations! I'm on day three post-op and was wondering the same thing. I'm able to meet my protein and water intake goals. I've actually wondered if my surgeon performed the correct surgery (even checked my surgical notes to be sure). I've read that things change once we transition to regular foods in that we will be able to feel ful. -
Congratulations!!

Gaining weight nearly 3 years post gastric bypass
Tamarita replied to Jessiemay's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Are you measuring your portions and tracking your food/calories? A big problem for me is letting that go and not realizing my portions are slowly growing. -
Congratulations!
-
My surgery went well and I'm resting at home. Honestly, I don't feel nearly as bad as I expected I would.
-
Hcat, I'll post an update when I get home!

I'm glad to hear you're doing so well! I hope I'll be able to drink water like you.

Pre op diet losers club member needing HELP
Tamarita replied to 3sonsitk's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
I'm on day 13 of the pre-op diet and believe me it gets easier after around day five (still sucks though). Luckily, I'm allowed cream type soups so at least there's that. Hang in there and make your remaining days count! -
My RNY is scheduled for 3 March... Hang in there!
-
I'm glad you're feeling better than expected! Best whishes for quick healing!!

Great idea!

It sounds like you are not only self confident but are your own best advocate! Good for you!!

Coffee is listed on my pre-op diet but you should check with your dietician. It may be different based upon your medical history or surgion's preferance.
