Hi.. I'm 11 weeks post op.. and notice an odd eating habit.. Before being sleeved.. I loved eating food that was cold.. yogurt, milk, cold Soup and salads! I would cool down everything before eating It would hardly take 15 minutes to finish my favorite yogurt serving.. Now! I have one open for over 4 hours.. (14gms of delicious Protein right there!).. but every spoon I try to get in.. feels repulsive. I only want to eat food that is hot or at least warm (my mom would love that!) Has this happened with anyone else????

Envisioning A Certain Nsv
chitowngirl replied to Finding Myself's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I fell you on this one... I now can't wait to buy a new coat and winter boots. I've always wanted to invest in really good quality coat and boots. Because of my plus size I was always limited on what I can buy, let's say the options were not appeasing to the eye. -
So today, still sore in abdominal area, get sick everytime I eat anything, feels like it gets caught up in my chest, like ive been punched. Trying to drink plenty of fluids, but very hard to do. Who drinks that much? I have to try and incorperate some protein today, really dreading that. Big sigh. This is a full time job.

after a few months of successful weightloss, i started letting old habits come back. they have built up and now i have to start all over again. i guess i will work on one thing a week and build each time so that i can be better. i never thought that the lap-band was a miracle, i knew that it would take some work, and i need to be positive and continue working the programs. need to: not drink liquids with my meals eat only 3 meals a day limit sweets to once a week need more protein, yes, drink the nasty drinks EXERCISE!

I bought it. It has 2 samples of each flavor as well as a sport bottle to drink from. I thought it was worth it because I'm pretty picky in regards to Protein shakes. I have only tried the chocolate splendor and liked it!

Hi All! So, I have stalled for the past 10 days. I take in anywhere from 400-500 calories per day (50-65 g protein), currently have a boot on my foot and am limited with workouts but even with boot walk 4000-5000 steps. Fluids--minimum 50 oz, maximum 70 oz. Cardio was good lat week but not this week. Thinking this may be my issue but also am trying to be more consistent with fluids closer to 70 oz. Should I increase the cardio? fluids? both? decrease calories? If so, how do you not get lightheaded? Just feeling a little stuck. Happy with my 70 lbs down (42 since surgery 12/12) just wanted to hit 100 lbs by Easter. Must get this ball rolling again. What have you all done? Thanks!

Hi Nina, I also had my surgery on Wednesday, 10/27. I am feeling pretty good, but I have been experiencing those back pains like you described, as well as a pain in my upper right collar bone. The back pains are most likely gas and are relieved by moving around. Heat also helps. My pain in the collar bone is due to having a hiatal hernia repaired. So far, I am doing pretty well with my fluids. But I just today attempted to try a Protein shake.(Not sure I am going to finish it ). My doctor told me that staying hydrated was much more important than the protein. So far I have managed my fluids and all my Vitamins. So tomorrow, I am going to try and add in a walk around the block, to help get the rest of that gas out. Once I can get this walking thing worked out, then I will focus on Protein shakes, Good Luck!

Gaining weight back! Help!
HeatherinCA replied to Hopes of a Dream!'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's normal when you start eating to gain a little don't worry. As long as it's not a ton of weight! The liquid diet wasn't intended necessarily to make you lose weight, it's Water weight, and your body is healing. Just make sure you are watching your diet. Fill up on things that are low in calories if you can, eat protein! and drink all your water. What are you eating? -
My Pre op diet consists of 4oz cooked Protein, 4oz frozen or fresh vegetables,4oz fresh or frozen fruit, 8oz non fat or 1% milk or plain low fat yogurt. So to spread it out through the day this is what i've been doing. Breakfast-1oz string cheese, 2oz apple slices. Mid morning 8oz Protein Drink w/non fat milk. Lunch-1 1/2oz grilled chicken, 2oz green Beans. Mid afternoon 8oz protein drink w/water Dinner-1 1/2 oz chicken OR fish, 2oz green beans, 2oz orange OR apple slices. My last meal is at 6pm..oh, and drink lots of Water. My pre op appointment is this friday the 12th and i assume they will tell me to start my liquid diet 2 days before my surgery. I've also been getting headaches and sweating for some reason..the sweating is on and off..i don't know what that's all about.

FYI silicone strips to minimize scars
GaGrl replied to Pammy S Lewis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I saw those too, but went with a cheaper option. I bought a $1.50 pure Vitamin E stick. I think it is working. I am now 4 weeks out & my incision sites are beginning to take on a lighter tone. (I started using twice a day as soon as sites were healed over) Keep me posted about the strips, I am wondering how they work. Best of luck to you! -
Hey there sleevers. I am 2 weeks post op and the first two weeks were ok. Now I'm sick of the soups, pudding, jello, yogurt and protein shakes. I gross out just looking at them, and eventually gag. I'd rather starve than eat anymore of this crap. I cant stand the cream soups either. Any tips on what i can eat..I start puree stuff on sunday. I have also had these horrible eppisodes of the hicupps, Is this common..Please help!:thumbup:

Hi All: I have just decided to have the lap-band surgery, in Mexico, by Dr. Ortiz. I am a self-pay, so when I found out the cost here in the States, I started looking for other options. I contacted "Weight for Life" and they put me in touch with Dr. Ortiz. I am quite nervous about this, but excited at the same time. I am 62, 5'6" and 250lbs. BMI of 40. and so looking forward to walking everyday without an extra 100lbs. on my body! I would like to hear from anyone who has had the surgery performed by Dr. Ortiz. I am sure I will be asking a lot of questions of all of you upon my return. I know this will be a life changing experience. Thanks, Sharbythesea

I am new to bandland as well. I did liquids for 2 weeks after the surgery and have to do another 2 weeks of liquids. My doctor will not do a fill for 10 weeks from my surgery date. I am soooooo sick of liquids but my 2 weeks did go by fast and I am hoping the next 2 weeks are even faster. I am ready for some pureed foods. Good luck on your weight lost journey. Get plenty of Protein, rest, Water and excercise. SW-240 CW-225 GW-150

So I had my band put in on Friday the 6th by Dr Cobean at Maine Medical center. It's now Sunday night and I have decided not to go to work tomorrow. I did go to my anatomy class last night but I think I just overdid it this weekend and the gas pains are the ones that are getting me down:angry:. Even the port site doesn't hurt as much as all the gas in my stomach. I'm trying to get my liquids in but today I only got 2 protein shakes down and some water. I thought having to be around everyone in my family while they were eating and stuff was going to be really hard but honestly I'm hardly even thinking about food. I am so grateful to everyone on here who's stories I read and who gave me the courage to believe in myself and get this done. Thank you!!

Rapd Weight Loss During Liquid Diet Safe?
elfnow replied to kpay10's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It's a medically-supervised "crash" diet... It is NOT a sustainable weight-loss option. having said that, I lost 40 lbs in my first 30 days (pre-surgery diet and 2+ weeks post-surgery). Then I halted for a week as I reintroduced food -

Feeling A Little Discouraged..:(
Webchickadee replied to msaprildawn's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Don't forget, we have fat distributed all through our bodies. And most especially important, within our torso, around our vital organs! This is the most dangerous fat! So if you're losing weight, you're possibly losing it "internally" in a way that isn't being reflected on the scale, but is an important contributor to your improving your health! Also, it is possible (hopefully not!) that you're losing muscle in a larger percentage than preferred. Muscle is more dense than fat and therefore causes more weight loss, with less of an effect on inches. Basically, if you lose a certain volume of muscle, it may not be reflected in lost inches as much as if you lost the same volume in fat, but the scale will go down. After all, a pound is a pound, whether it is fat or muscle. But they look very different on the body! The best way to combat muscle loss is to make sure you've got sufficient Protein in your diet (which helps build muscle and guard aroud loss) and to regularly participate in rigorous exercise that not only builds your cardiovascular system, but also builds muscle (weight lifting, etc.). "Stay the course".......you're doing great! -
I am doing a protein shake in the morning for breakfast and then making protein drinks with unflavored protein powder and crystal light the rest if the day. I am getting my protein in, but I am not a milk drinker at all. I am keeping herbal tea and water handy at all times. I am going to make it It's just hard work. Buy if you want something you have to work for it.

Ok i know i posted a topic about nausea and gas but now its on to gas and acid relfux. I am only on day 4 after surgey and my stomach has a LOT of adjusting to do. But I am having what I believe is really bad acid reflux with some gas. I did really good supping today waiting 2 to 3 minutes between and I have been walking a lot which has helped some. I sit back down and after a couple minutes burping starts. Should I call the doctor for possible otc options or is it just to early since surgery? Sorry to kind of repeat a topic. Im up late due to this and cant stop thinking about it.

Doctor said not to worry about only losing 10lbs at first post op visit
920amy replied to JewelJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Personally, I was sleeved in MX so I didn't ahve any post op follow up. I had surgery and flew back home less than a week later. My loss was really slow at first, then accelerated, then stopped, then slow, then stopped....I'm just getting off another plateau now. I'm 15 and a half months out, and I think this final 40 lbs is kicking my a**, but I know that slow and steady will win the race. It's easy to get discouraged and to look at the tickers of other who had surgery the same time as you and wish you had their results already, but the most honest and best advice I can give is: Don't compare yourself to anyone else. Compare yourself to you. When was the last time you lost 10 lbs before surgery, how long did it take? Did it take longer and was it more difficult than the current 10 lbs you're lamenting over? The answers are probably yes and yes. Another thing to remember about your loss now, is that, you're not losing weight, you're GETTING RID of it!! That is 10 lbs you will probably never ever ever EVER see again!! How great is that!?! One day at a time, if you do the right things, Protein first, exercise, you WILL see results, you WILL lose the weight, and you WILL look hot and feel great!! Welcome to the losers bench!! -

OMG this is my GREATEST fear!!!!! How long were you losing your hair for? OMG! I can't even imagine OMG! How do you stop the hair loss? Sheesh!!!! I'm 3 weeks out. I'm so nervous. Please help! I am going to start taking that biosil stuff NOW! Where do I get it from? Also, what does Protein have to do with hair loss/growth? I am definitely not getting in 60g of protein per day so I guess I should definitely be worried. -
