6 Month Pre-Op Diet Question
NurseJaci13 replied to NurseJaci13's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As far as I can tell they don't really care if I gain or lose, at least from what my BRS nurse said. It's more about the "education" I receive. I'm more concerned that they will think I gained on purpose to get over 40, which I didn't. I also have to be over 40 or be over 35 and have co-morbidities @WishMeSmaller and I agree. I'm only 5' 3" so a pretty small weight gain or loss changes my BMI but 5-10 pounds doesn't really change my health issues. I don't think my doctor even cares that much. They want you to meet with a nutritionist twice before surgery and do two psych evals, but they don't have a minimum time to do it in. They will get you in as quickly as you meet those two requirements and insurance approves. I was just wondering if anyone else had this situation. -
6 Month Pre-Op Diet Question
WishMeSmaller replied to NurseJaci13's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My program (Insurance) required three months of medically managed weight loss. They normally have you go through a twelve week course, but I was unable to attend the classes due to work. I ended up seeing my primary doctor once a month and a nutritionist once a month to meet the goal. I did not lose any weight, but was approved for surgery. My insurance requires BMI > 40 or BMI 35-40 with co-morbities like hypertension, diabetes 2, high cholesterol, or sleep apnea, to cover the surgery. I have co-morbidities and my BMI bounces right around 39-41. My surgeon is not particularly concerned about my pre-surgery weight as long as there are no huge changes in weight and I follow the two week liquid pre-op diet. I expect to lose 10-15 pounds on the diet, which will put my BMI at about the 39 level. If I did not have co-morbidities my insurance would not pay for the surgery with the lower BMI. It is kind of ridiculous, really. -
Revision completed
Tracyringo replied to Tracyringo's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I weighed in at 171.2 this morning. I am having problems with vitamins and calcium chews. I quit taking my bariatric vitamins because they have and extra 45 iron and were causing issues in the restroom which I cant have . So I am taking 2 Flinestones a day at least until I get in to my Dr. appointment in 10 days. I also am dumping on the calcium chews. I had one after lunch today thinking I would not dump with the food WRONG ! So I have some hard pill ones that I will be taking starting tomorrow. I may have felt some kind of restriction at lunch. I had a Smart Ones beef with mashed potatoes and gravy. I ate about 6 of the 9 oz and not too long after I felt it. I will have to be careful and eat slower from now on just to be safe. All was pretty okay until I ate the calcium, so glad I didn't vomit. I took a nap curled in a ball instead. -
I had surgery on 12/31/19 and have done very well. I was very lucky to have an easy recovery, including no physical hunger. Well, I'm 5 1/2 months out now and my hunger has returned - a lot! I'm trying to be sure to eat dense protein at all my meals. My program doesn't like snacking so I'm trying to avoid that but if I am really hungry I'll have some greek yogurt. Does anyone have any advice on good, high protein, dense meals you like? I'm not much of a cook so simple items would be best. Thanks in advance, Lori

Wow!! 7 years strong maintaining a 10lb spread? Thats’s amazing! I hope to be just like you in 7 years ❤️ !! Good luck w/ your consults, and yeah, make sure you get a surgeon that you mesh well with...it makes things smoother (and one less thing to deal with!) P.S. at the time of my consult (June 2019), my surgeon’s first open slot was 9 months out (so like March 2020...and this was PRE-covid!). But since my combined surgeries were going to take 5-6 hours, he opened up a day specifically for me (I was his only patient that day) 3 months earlier, in Dec 2019. Sooooo...I guess what Im saying is everything is negotiable, lol
-
Thank you so much. I am. I have a few consultations scheduled already. I’m starting with 3 and will do more if I feel the doctors are not right for me. One surgeon I was going to schedule with is scheduling out for tummy tucks into June of 2021!! Thanks covid. November will be my 7 year anniversary of my wls. I’ve kept my weight steady!!! I toggle about 10 lbs back and forth but I think that’s normal right ?

I paid roughly $15K total all-in for a Tummy Tuck (with muscle tightening and flank lipo), Breast Lift & Arm Lift (the panniculectomy portion of the TT was covered by insurance...if it wasn’t, I would’ve had to pay an extra $5-6K). I was in hospital for 2 nights (also covered by insurance). P.S. the $15K was in Canadian dollars, so that’s like Monopoly money for you U.S.-ers, lol. P.P.S. Despite the sometimes rough recovery, it was some of the best money I ever spent. @janc75 : Are you looking to get stuff done soon?? Am excited for you...! Edited to add: FYI: I had the surgeries in Dec 2019, and the pricing was based on the current prices as at June 2019, when I had my first consult)

I got my surgery 3 weeks ago yesterday, so 22 days ago. I gained almost 10 lbs in the hospital - I assume from the air they pump into your stomach plus the swelling.. I lost that within maybe 2 days, then went from 192 lbs to 177ish in a week to 10 days (sorry can't be more accurate - I didn't log this stuff so I am estimating)... now 22 days after the surgery -- I've only lost another 2 lbs. I've pretty much stayed 175lbs for the past 10 days (estimate).. I've been upset about it, but I googled around... Here is what I found - when your on the clear liquid diet your liver shrinks...and when you start drinking/eating things with substance...your liver expands back to its normal size. This can cause a "stall" around week 3. The blogger said to be patient while your body sorts itself out. I am not sure how correct that info is, but if you google around -- it is not uncommon to have "stalls" in the first few weeks. Let's keep this thread going with our progress...
-
some people come home from the hospital up to 10 lbs heavier from all the fluids they pump into you. Sometimes it takes a week to get back down to what you weighed when you went into the hospital. Just stick to your plan -- the weight will start to come off.

My first laparoscopic surgery incisions disappeared completely. I would be hard pressed to find a scar or anything. Right now I am 3 weeks Post op from another surgery and they have been swollen, stuck out, scabbed over, and are gradually going away. I'm confident they will be hard to find in a few months. I kept my steri strips in place through careful bathing and most of them were still on after 10 days. I saw my surgeon at the 2 week mark and he removed the strips and manually removed one stitch from the largest incision.

True! There seems to be confusion around this issue. There are only emergency and elective surgeries, that is one way to look at it. There is surgery that is immediately life saving vs. all others. And there are very few of the former. States (as well as countries) have opened those up at different rates according to state covid-19 stats.

How do you deal? It's so hard..
California Guy replied to BoredFatGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on the puree diet right now. I hope you stay strong and take it day by day. Each Post OP day was way better than the last. During my first week post OP I've taken my family to fast food restaurants and sit with them drinking water while they eat. I've cooked dinner or baked cookies or bread which I was not going to eat. For me, I am so sure I will follow the nutrition plan, it isn't tempting at all. They feel bad eating in front of me but I tell them it honestly isn't an issue. I did this twice, once for the sleeve, then once for the revision to DS. Something that made it even easier this year is that I dieted for 5 months prior to my surgery. I dropped all sugary foods, fried foods, and sugary beverages. Another thing that helps me is having a finite list of things I am allowed to eat. If I see or smell something else, I just say that's not one of the 10 things I plan to eat during this phase. I understand the position you are in now craving things you may have had recently but knowing if you eat them you could put your health at risk. There is definitely a need to set boundaries with your spouse regarding where he eats since this is troubling you. -
My surgery is coming up on Tuesday (6/16), so I had to go in and get my COVID-19 test today. I was really dreading it and building it up in my mind (pretty silly thing to be focused on given the surgery I'm about to have), so I'm glad it's over with. Overall, it wasn't as bad as I expected. It definitely sucked, but I would describe it as extreme discomfort with very minimal pain, and it was all over very quickly. They're sicking a long swab somewhere where nothing is supposed to go, so every instinct in my body said "get that thing out of there", but it's not like it was very painful or anything. The whole thing was over in a matter of a couple of seconds and I was left with some teary eyes and a slightly roughed-up feeling nose, but no worse than after a few days with a cold when your nose starts to feel a little raw. That was about an hour ago and it's already feeling mostly back to normal. Overall I'm happy that it's over with and I can start focusing on my more rational fears, like having 80% of a major organ removed in a couple of days 🙂

@Suzi_the_Q : so all this corset talk sent me down the corset-research rabbit hole yesterday, LOL. While I am not really in the market for a corset for its waist-cinching abilities, I started looking into them because I AM in the market for a lower abdominal cinching/compression/squishing device. As I mentioned earlier, I had a tummy tuck almost 6 months ago have have been wearing an abdominal binder to address the swelling (doc says it can persist for up to a year. a YEAR!!). The binder is just a basic elasticized "belt" with a velcro closure that I wrap around my lower abdomen/hips. My problem(s) are that (1) my waist is relatively smaller than my lower abdomen/hips (there's about a 9-10 inch difference) so the top part of the binder gapes alot and is forever riding up to move OFF of where I want it to stay. Angling the velcro closure to make it it fits smaller up top, has the same effect. (2) My hip bones seem to stick out further out than the dreaded swell bump, so I can't seem to get a snug enough fit/compression level across my lower abdomen for my liking, AND I end up with sore hip bones from the friction from trying to pull it tight enough. Sooooooo....I thought maybe a corset would do the trick, since there would be a real fit through the waist to the lower abs (to prevent ride up), and could possibly also address the hip bone protrusion situation because the added help of the steel busk down the front (to compress my lower abdomen without pressing down on my hip bones). Anyway, this is my long-winded lead up to ask: When you were corseting, did you also find that there was alot of compression to the lower abdomen? I'm thinking a body suit corset would do the trick, as the more traditional ones without the attached panty *look* like they are still pretty loose at the bottom hem...? I get there are no actual bones to move around in that area for any permanent squishing, I'm really just looking for some effective compression on my swell bulge for my current body shape. Or am I going down the wrong rabbit hole for my needs? Thoughts?

I have been taking dicoflenec (generic Voltaren) for at least 10 years. I just take an omeprasole (sp?) once every other day. My surgeon was aware of it and totally cool with it. Over 5 years out and I just have regular appointments with my PCP. The thing about dicoflenec though is that it does not play nice with tylenol, aspirin, cold medicine, heart medicine... you get the idea. It is only available via prescription because of the interactions. I take it for my arthritis and it is nothing short of a miracle drug in my opinion.

Had Surgery Yesterday - Can Drink and Swallow Normally?!
cowgirlcullen replied to cowgirlcullen's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Today I tried to get some protein in again since yesterday didn't go so well. I just did 2 scoops, which was 10 g of protein and it seems to be sticking thank goodness. Yesterday I tried 20 g in 1 drink and it went in one end and out the other. So, each day is making a difference in this healing/transition process this first week. -
How do you deal? It's so hard..
BoredFatGirl posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How do you deal with those close around you still eating the way you used to? My husband was frying up some meatballs and I was in tears contemplating actually trying to eat one (and I am just 3 days post-op). I ended up freaking out on him for even making them - brought up the 10 hotdogs he ate next to me the past two days and 4 sandwiches he had as a snack while we were in bed last night.. I mean, I am just so upset with him. I wanted him to be supportive and he just thought that meant he should run for me.. How do you deal? -
July 2020 Surgery anyone?
WishMeSmaller replied to IWantTheDream's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
We are twinning! Except I am having RNY due to GERD. After my 6/19 pre-op appointment I will do more prepping. Planning on have plenty of shakes around and I do have some Nectar protein powder. Will have jello, plain soy milk for protein powders, cream of wheat cereal (make with soy milk and protein powder), etc. I have a rowdy 10 month old puppy I am thinking about sending for training while I recover so I don’t have him jumping all over me. I am hoping to be able to work from home for a few hours in the morning of my second week of recovery. We will see if I can manage. How about you? -
Any advice for a 19 year old going into it?
New&Improved replied to 0doru0's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Welcome if you need a friend I'm here. I personally had the bypass but I needed to lose 150lbs and I have done that. Being 19 though you have to be mentally prepared for a huge change in your life where most of your friends are probably going out every weekend and socialising you'll not be as social you'll need to commit to this change of lifestyle totally to be successful and not let temptation take over. It is a good decision but a big decision I choose RNY BYPASS personally because I needed more than just sleeve and wanted better long term success as well.. The sleeve is fine if you only need to lose a smaller amount but there is chance of reflux issues and then needing a bypass anyway. Tell us more about yourself and what surgery you are thinking of and what research you have done??? -
Any advice for a 19 year old going into it?
0doru0 posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi! I'm 19 years old and am very excited to schedule my surgery. I'm going to get it done in Mexico so I won't have a lot of guidance aside from my mom who has also had gastric sleeve. I'm not considered obese (borderline), but I have had such severe body image issues from 12 years old to now that it makes me uncomfortable to even leave the house sometimes. My mom suggested surgery after I broke down in front of her which wasn't my proudest moment lol. I live a pretty healthy life otherwise, I don't drink soda, don't eat fast food, love veggies, etc. But nothing has made me lose weight. That's why I'm going to this extreme, nothing has worked for me. If anybody could give me any advice or guidance I would be so grateful! Sorry for the wall of text!

Try setting a fitness goal for yourself. Maybe a 5k? Thats how it got started for me. My new addiction is exercise. I just completed my first half marathon 3 weeks ago...and now im training for a Triathlon. I find if im working towards a goal it makes working out easier. My nutritionist wants me eating 2500+ cals but that based off my training. 150 miles on the bike a week plus 10+ miles of running. its struggle because i eat a lot of small things constantly, but its all healthy foods. It sounds like a lot but i trust her 100%, shes gotten me this far, and i definitely notice a difference in my performance if i dont eat. Good luck!

Oh, Just Another Plastics Story pt 2
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Since this summer is probably going to be *complicated* and I didn't think i would get to fully enjoy it, I decided to finish (for now) my plastics journey. Initially i lost weight during quarantine by following a few exercise routines. Muscle tone was improving but looking in the mirror i was not satisfied with how my skin was laying on my body. I realized i didn't need to be thinner but tighter and after major weightloss or WLS, major skin tightening is nearly impossible to do with surgical intervention. I decided i also want a fuller rounder behind after all to look more balanced. I decided that i NEEDED a BBL. So I set on the very hard 😂path to gain about 10-15 lbs. My surgeon reminded me of our earlier conversations about mt skin laxity and refused to give me just a BBL without skin lifting /removal. He even warned me that i didn't even have enough choice fat (abdominal stubborn fat) for it anyway, My problem was excess thick skin 😒 We moved ahead with the back lift with some minor fat transfer and he was right. My results are transformative. I need to stay at my higher weight for a few months in order to allow the fat that was transfered an opportunity to live and grow. But i honestly look better now that 15lbs ago and my clothes still all fit the same, mostly. Apparently loose skin is a drag on your clothes sizing. -
I had my surgery in September 2019 and I was wondering if anyone else constantly felt drained or like they've had a mass loss of energy? I've been taking my vitamins and those are supposed to help but they don't seem to be doing much. I keep finding myself losing focus, not being able to do things for a long time, getting dizzy or lightheaded, and feeling really unenthusiastic about things I used to be passionate about. Did anyone else feel like this for so long after their surgery?

I came out of surgery able to take in an ounce of protein drink and an ounce of water (at the same time) every 15 minutes. I did need to mix up my protein intake from room temp clear protein, to cold shakes, to warmed tomato soup with added protein powder per my nausea tolerance the first 5 days due to nausea with the pain meds but once off those I'm good with any. I drink 50-70 ounces of water a day, (preop I was 80 to 120 minimum) with electrolyte drop ins. That puts me at 80 to 90 ounces "intake" a day. I meet and exceed the fluid and protein goals. My 2nd week post-surgery I began to get a painful empty feeling several times a day. Its pissing me off. Its not acid, I'm on omeprazole and do 2 antacid meltaway chewable a day. I can eat an entire Greek yogurt serving tub in 30 minutes, with small bites and putting down my appetizer spoon between them. I don't like it, though, lactose pisses off my digestive system, but I was desperate for a "solid" and popsicles don't cut it either. I can easily get in 500-600 calories with the meal protein drinks and 2 snacks to stop my stomach hurting because of its "empty" feeling. I'm 12 days out. This is ridiculous! Anyone else come out of surgery this way and struggle with liquids? Please tell me moving to food is going to curb this, lower my overall calories when I can focus on solid proteins, and let me feel full.
