Not feeling restricted
Mary G replied to alexander's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded July 22. Today seen my surgeon for the 2 week check up. He said I'd gain few pounds before my first fill an that was ok. I get my fill in 3 weeks. Would had been 2 weeks but he is gonna be out of town. E told me it take a few fills to her where I need to be. He also has a band so that helps. He understands what we go threw. -
I can honestly say I'm feeling great. The pain as subsided as of yesterday. Sure there's some discomfort, but going into this I was aware of that. I'm down 20.6 pounds since my pre op diet and I'm beginning to feel more like me. I look forward to sharing this journey with everyone!

I had my surgery in February and have lost 85 pounds so far!!! Yay!!!! I am a high school teacher and just started school again. I am teaching 6 Foods courses (pause for recognition of irony). We have increased from 787 students to over 1,000 since Spring. We are expecting another influx after Labor Day. We are bursting at the seams and doing everything we can to meet the needs of the students. Ahhh the joys of living in the Bakken. I absolutely LOVE my job, but there is a high amount of stress right now. I know stalls are to be expected, but could my current stall be the result of the stress? Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Hey there everyone. I was hoping to get a few opinions here to help me out. I am going on vacation in two weeks, I currently have 4cc's in a 10cc band and do not have much restriction yet. I have been will powering my way through over eating and doing my best to make good food choices. I have a fill appointment two days before I leave for vacation and at the last two visits my doctor has put in 2cc each time. My question is, if it were you, would you try adding 2cc more or 1cc more even if you were able to get down your Water easily at 2cc? I am afraid that I will get stuck or need an unfill while I am away. If it were you what would you do? TYIA

Hi Jodi I am three months out, I get real bad heart palpitations. Like you my cardiologist has run all sorts of tests. The heart and arteries appear all normal. My dr said prior to my surgery that the palpitations should stop or decrease after I start to lose weight . Unfortunately that has not been the case for me . I have lost 30 kg to date but heart pal show no sign of improvement. I am so depressed and fearful because heart disease runs in the family. Yet my beautiful cardiologist is bending over backwards to help me. I adore the man I just wish the pal will stop.

When Is Shoulder Pain Not Gas?
apw0 replied to Peacock's Point's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had very bad shoulder pain post surgery as well. I was MISERABLE!!! I felt it as soon as I came out of recovery. It lasted for almost 2 weeks. Long story short, during the surgery, my arm was hyperextended for a relatively lengthy period of time, which is what caused the problem. It never even occurred to me that it may be something other than that. It's a good thing you had the wherewithall to go to the ER. I hope you get to feeling better soon, and please keep us posted.

Low carb with fun exercise seems to work for me. Just finished Zumba on my DVD player....so much fun! Forgot I was exercising. Find something you like, and look up recipes on sites like food.com. My Fitness Pal helps too. Pain to log it all, but you really see what your habits are that way...helps to see where you can change things. You have lost 22 pounds already...you are doing great! When I stalled on the scale, I lost inches on my waist....like, literally my pants started to fall off me while I was shopping one day. It will happen :-)

Hi everyone, I had my surgery july 16th and lost alot of weight right away. I started at 293 and and by my 1 week checkup i was 276. Throughout the first month I went up and down between 283 and 276. At my first tightening I still weighed 276. I was bummed but my surgeon was very happy. The first 3 days after my tightening i lost 10 lbs bringing me down to 266. I was thrilled. But the day i started mushies the numbers started climbing and a week after my tightening i am back at 275. Is this normal? Does anyone also feel like as long as they eat they dont lose weight? i feel like no matter what i eat, whether healthy or not i dont lose weight. Has anyone found a way to get in control of when they lose the weight? Is going on a permanent liquid diet going to help? How about incorporating exercise? Please help! I have a trip to go see my boyfriend whos in the army and would love to do everything i can to lose weight until then.

You can definitely drink G2. I'm 10 weeks post op and continue drinking it throughout the day along with protein shakes and water. It all depends how my day is going. I also drink the powerade zero.

I am two weeks post op ( banded 10/18) today I felt like I hadn't had food in forever... Is this normal??? I wanted to eat everything in sight...

I feel like I'm in a fuzzy place right now, plus my tummy is still a little swollen.... It could be my hormones, ( TOM, I know tmi) but I feel blah and just more blah..... -
How often to see the doctor after surgery
Debbie3sons replied to Peggypja's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went I think it was every 4 weeks at first in the first year but that's what my Surgeon wanted , after 2 years it is every so often just to make sure everything is fine & in place. -
I'm 5 weeks post op and am trying out different foods I can and can't have, so far I keep things down just fine but I am struggling with eating 6-800 calories , I usually get in around 450-500 and I am always full. I've tried snacking here and their (on healthy items) but I still can't get in more calories. Am i going to be ok and lose weight still? My sleeve is very tight! I also work out 4-5 times a week usually elliptical or treadmill and I'm down 25 pounds since preop . I was sleeved July 7 by Dr. Alvarez.

You want to ask your surgeon about rules regarding pills. They all vary -- there is no "we" in post-WLS patients when it comes to things like medications, food, exercise, alcohol, caffeine, etc (unless you are talking to someone who had the same doctor you did). My doctor's rules may be very different from yours. All that said, have you considered liquid multi-vitamins? I took Wellesse liquid multi for four weeks after surgery - a double dose. I didn't have any trouble getting it down, but you can dilute it with water or light fruit juice if the taste bothers you. My labs have always been great. Good luck to you!

I get my first fill friday and i am nervous any one with tips on what to do after the fill and what not to do please comment. Also anybody that can give me an idea of what to expect friday that would be great too. I was banded on March 2nd and have lost 20lbs so far but no restriction and can eat any amount but i have been dieting since i been on regular foods the past week or so. Can anyone tell me did you even have any restriction or more weight loss after your first fill or should I not expect to have no more weight lost until my next fill or so forth? I am so nervous about being stuck at this same weight and i do walk but Monday i am starting a new gym and personal trainer so we shall see..Please give advise and comments on your first fill experiences Thanks!!!

Different Taste Buds?
MizzouGirl replied to AmandaGeorgePelts's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I couldn't stand any of the clear liquid foods. Can't stand the artificial sweetener, couldn't stand the broth --- it was rough! Luckily, I only had to do it for 1 week post op. Now I'm on full liquids and enjoying pureed soups, greek yogurt, pureed oatmeal and milk. Hang in there, it does get better!!! -
POST OP DAY 5 Well a couple of things that I have noticed thus far I’m able to tolerate the liquids just fine but I’m not drinking much protein, it feels me up and makes my mouth super dry,and then I cramp even worse. I have been doing 2 much I live upstairs on the second floor and have to walk up and down to get to my car . I have had a few sleepless nights where I only napped for about 30 mins to an hour, so I have started taking the max dosage of pain meds allowed by the doctor. Somehow I even brought home a superficial blood clot in my right arm. It’s not a DVT so it should go away on its own in a couple of weeks. My mood has been pretty bad at times because I’m still in a lot of pain and I’m one of those people that just has to be doing something or I get to anxious, and my anxiety kicks in. I do not have any hunger pains the gas pain is starting to decrease now but it’s still there. Overall I’m starting to feel better and hopefully soon I will be able to get back on track with what the dietician and the doctor want but until then I’m taking it easy and doing less at this point is more comfortable for me, then straining and stressing myself over everything else. This has not been an easy journey for me or my wife she is 30 days post op and I know my last week at home has made her see me in a new light, and I hope she will just look over my bad habits, and love me regardless.

rahnava replied to Tif 2.0's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
