This is kinda gross,
Katycando replied to Katycando's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks ya'll. I'm definately going back tomorrow as I am having the same response to water as I did the soup. Durn. ~Kat -
but most things on this site seem to be! I just had my 2nd fill and am feeling kinda crummy. I was hungry when I got home from the dr (rumbly in my tumbly kinda hungry) so I attempted a few swallows of tomato soup. Now, on top of the shoulder pain I've been having since the fill, I'm foaming, slimming, and even vomited what little bit of soup I'd swallowed. Now I'm trying to determine if a) this is a common reaction to the minor swelling that accompany's a fill, or :thumbup: if they filled me too much. Ugh. I appreciate any insight. I've pretty much decided that if it's not better by tomorrow then I'm going to go back and have them unfill some. Thanks!!

Good News ONLY, Did you lose even 2 pounds post it here!!!
Katycando replied to A-WENZ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was just banded as well, and so far have lost 14lbs. here's hoping I keep losing (though a little slower and steadier)! -
I'm still on liquids, but have been wondering if I'll be able to eat the following foods once healed (these are NOT foods I'll eat often, but I really don't want a surprise at a social function): multi-grain tortilla chips steak (any specific kind? I'm a porterhouse girl) pork spicy foods (ie jalopenos) peppers rice I'd just like to hear how others have fared with these items. Thanks! Kat

When u were 2 months post op, how much did u lose?
Katycando replied to MsFab1988's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't forget too that when you're excercising so much you're building lots of muscle mass! -
I went into surgery down 7lbs (due to my pre-op diet). The next day I weighed myself when I got home and was UP 7lbs! I was surprised at this since I'd only had ice chips, water, and a spoonful of nasty hospital sugar-free jello. As of now, 3 days post op -and still on liquids-, I'm down 8lbs. Anyone else experience anything like this? Also, sometimes when I burp it feels like half of it gets stuck inside me and then I feel this sharp pain in my left shoulder. Is that routine enough not to be unusual? I'm going to have a book of questions to call my Surgeon about tomorrow!

aswash I'm with you. I feel full after just a few sips of my protein drink. Sometimes even a few sips of water is too much. I do know that my surgeon starts out w/ 2ccs of fluid in the 10cc band, so I guess that has a lot to do with it.

I can't burp but feel like I NEED to!!
Katycando replied to MomTo2Boys's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am so with you!! I was just banded on Thursday and feel much the same way. Yay, we're normal! Good luck! -
Just making sure this is 'normal'
Katycando posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was just banded Thursday (yay!) and am now home. For the most part I feel pretty good. However, I have this odd feeling in my chest between my boobs. I'm assuming this is from the band/swelling? Does that sound right? Also, when I drink (still on liquids) I have a slightly uncomfortable feeling and then have the urge to burp, which rarely comes to fruition (much to my dismay, I think I'd feel much better If I could burp or toot). I'm obsessive and paranoid so I just want to see what ya'll think (plus it's Saturday so I can't exactly call my surgeon as this isn't an emergency). Thanks! -
Weight loss during pre-op diet
Katycando replied to preciosarose2's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was JUST in your shoes! I lost (only) 6lbs on my diet, and was concerned that my very strict surgeon wouldn't operate on me. However, this was not the case at all. He was fine with my weightloss and even told me my liver looked fantastic! -
confused and irritated
Katycando replied to Katycando's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
thanks Ladies. Dr. Fontana seemed pleased with my weightloss, and even commented that my liver looked fantastic. Unfortunately, He still had to make extra incision b/c of a hernia in my stomach (which I didn't even know I had!). Otherwise surger went great. I was freaking out about the weight loss b/c I had heard stories of women losing 10-15lbs! Utlimately, I was scared he would think I didn't follow the diet adn not operate! Thanks again! Kathryn -
My surgery date is tomorrow. I've been on a liquid diet for the last week, and have only managed to lose 6lbs. The whole point of the liquid-only diet is to lose fat/shrink liver so now I'm worried my uber-strict surgeon won't operate. Anyone else have this issue? I hope I'm just retaining water!! This is suprising and frustrating.

i read ur thread about not wanting to have plastic surgery...although i did have and need a tummy tuck i am not a fan of plastic surgery either....i lost 140 pounds in 11 months...i exercise like a mad woman...with that being said i could've used every cream on the market 24 hours a day and i still woud not have been able to avoid a tummy tuck...i'm 30 years old ...have 1 child and started exercising from day 1...i'm not sure how much weight u have to lose and a lot has to do with age...how fast and how much u lose...but the reality is creams work to an extent..and i wouldnt even go that far...if creams worked that well there would b no need for plastic surgery...with that being said i wouldnt depend on creams i would depend on exercise
