Going Back To Work One Week After Lapband
JanjustJan replied to JanjustJan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the tip. I looked at my instant protein and it does not have what I need. I hope this week my doctor OKs me for scrabbled eggs and cottage cheese. -
I'm 2 weeks today and I am still sore.
-
I had that ball feeling in the early weeks but it went away. I'd call eating 1/2 a sandwich at lunch, then 1/2 at dinner and taking 30 minutes each time restricted - well and truly.

hairnv replied to JohnB3465's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good luck, twins....I am a week behind you guys...April 13th for me....how are you guys doing on your liquids? Its my first day, and it was pretty easy, thank goodness! -
11 months out. Curious what everyone is eating at this stage. Appetite is up & energy is way down. Need to get the pounds shedding again

<!-- google_ad_section_end --> I would give it at least a week. You don't want to wait too long in case there's been a mistake and they haven't gotten everything they need, but you also don't want to start harassing them before they've even gotten a chance to look at the paperwork. Sometimes it takes a couple of days before the stuff that they've gotten has been entered into their computer system or has reached the correct person.

I want to know tips for toning my stomach and getting rid of abdominal fat. I should mention that I had a c-section three years ago so it seems like most of my extra weight is right in the front. Does anyone know any particular exercises that are good for this?

Not only are you losing at an impressive rate (1.5 pounds a week, as Leigha pointed out), but you've lost **35%** of your excess body weight. WOW! You should be proud, proud, proud! My surgeon wants a lower percent than that gone in ONE YEAR. Remember that where you are is better than where you were 35 pounds ago. Don't give up! Go find someone who hasn't seen you in six months, and you'll perk up in NO TIME! :thumbup:

I've been bouncing back between 190-192 for 2 weeks. Last night I was PMSing and decided to have some red wine. 4 ozs led to 8ozs which led to dark chocolate and peanut butter which led to tortilla chips which led to candied pecans!!!!! A mini binge yes, seeing as though they weren't large quantities, but a binge no less. I woke up this morning at 188!!!! So is this how you break a stall? Break all the rules and go nuts for a day??? Btw I'm almost 4 months out and as if today down 50 lbs!!

I am 6 weeks post surgery. Everything healed well, but I have lost my appetite. I am still not on fresh fruit and vegetables or fiberous meats, but nothing is tasting good. My appetite was fine a week ago and I was actually looking forward to the new types of food I could eat at 5 weeks, but it is gone. I can eat 2 bites of something and next time I think about eating it, it makes me nauseated. Is this the after affects of anesthesia? or is this something that you experience from the surgery? Any ideas?

I had the same thought about the spell check button. Recovery time--every one varies. For me three days was all I needed. I had mine done on a Tuesday and by the weekend I was mall walking and taking my puppies out. It really varies though I have not heard of anyone who needed over two weeks. I know your fears about posting. It can be such a big step. I applaud you for taking that step. It really can be so theraputic. And everyone here is great. I just posted my picture/avatar this week and I felt like I had done soemthing really big. As far as going to Mexico. It is what I did also. I just did not want to go into debt of 20,000. I went to Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. You will find several threads about him under doctors portion. There are many pros and cons to going to Mexico. For me, I think it was the right decision; however, everything went really smooth for me. I am happy to answer your questions about surgery in Mexico. There are down sides though...you will find may of them in doing research on this site. I am almost 5 weeks out and everything is going smoothly. I am a little bummed that I have not lost more but 15 pounds is really good and I would have been thrilled if I did that without surgery. I know I need a fill and am looking forward to getting one 6 weeks out. Actually, it will likely be more like 8 weeks out. Work is fairly unpredictable right now. Anyways, good luck in all your research and feel free to pm me with any questions I can anwser for you. I probably misspelled something! Please ignore. Lindsay

I would call your doctors office. My doctor did'nt weigh you after the blood test, and presurgery counseling two weeks before surgery.

Fills 8 days apart?
Nean4488 replied to TXSassyGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im allowed to get fills whenever I need them. I had my 2nd fill just under 2 weeks apart from each other. -
Hi rfitz72! I experienced a similar pain in my upper right abdomen. According to my surgeon it's normal... Apparently the liver retractor they use can rub against your lower ribs, causing some soreness. Mine lasted probably for a week after. I'm now 2.5 weeks out and the pain is completely gone! Anyway hope that gives you some peace of mine, but I would say if it lasts for longer than the next few days or so, or gets worse, give your surgeon a call.

Sounds like you are well on you way! Your BMI is about the same as mine was at surgery. I was able to drive fairly comfortably after about three days, although the seatbelt had to be adjusted so to not rub the incisions and getting in and out of my car was a bit uncomfortable. I felt pretty good after one week. I would say that barring any complications, if you do not have to do any heavy lifting, you will be just fine in two weeks. The drinking thing seems pretty difficult at first but it is mainly habit and once you break the habit it isn't so bad. The biggest thing is to make sure you do not have a drink within reach while eating. Honestly, after about a week I was fine with it....I don't give it much thought at all now.

I had my one month (5 weeks) doctors appt today. Lost 25 pounds since surgery (10/9). Everything is going good. Hope you all are good. I had a stall for like 5 days aroind week 3. I did not like that.

I went for my pre surgical VSG appointment today and everything is all set for March 29 (Good Friday) I'm excited but now that I know it's a week away I am getting nervous!! What liquids are your new best friends now that the pre surgery liquid diet has begun?? Lol

I had no complications with my band surgery (Rumbaut in Monterrey, Mexico...Hospital San Jose), and no complications with my DS surgery (Keshishian in Delano, CA...Delano Regional Medical Center), and no complications with my breast reduction surgery/abdominoplasty revision (Andrew Cohen, Beverly Hills, CA...St. John's Hospital)...but with my original abdominoplasty (at a VA hospital), I ended up with a resistant infection, was readmitted and had to spend an extra week or so inpatient getting IV Zosyn q6h. See how we treat our veterans? The supervising physician said that the complication rate for abdominoplasties on an MO population--I was MO at the time--was 100%. After the surgery. I mean he SAID it after, not before, the surgery. HTH

My doctor told me I can eat between 800-1000 calories. I am 3 months out and have been sticking to 800. I feel like it's not enough anymore and tempted to move up to 900. My question is with 800 I have been eating between 650-850 and been losing about 1-2 pounds a week. Do you think if I increased to 900 it will slow my weightloss? I already lost almost 70 and I have a little less then 30 pounds to get to my goal and I don't want to ruin the steady pace I have been having. The bulk of my weight loss was the past 2 months this month has been slower but I'm happy. I hope I don't sound paranoid or goofy lol Thanks in advance for advice tips and opinions!

Almost 6 weeks post op. I am so tired from about noonish until 5pm. It's not that mid day tiredness. But sheer exhaustion. I did return to work this past week and I guess I can contribute it to that?? But I'm getting plenty of sleep and all my supplements, protein and water. At what point do I think it's anemia or something else?
-
So I got my approval and VSG surgery date (5/15 - yay!). During my pre op visit with the doctor, I asked about recovery time in the hospital and how he tests for leaks. I asked about going back to work. I've got my diet instructions. But after reading through the boards, I never asked about bougie size (how big will my stomach be post op). Is there anything else I missed that should be on my list of questions? I've got 4 weeks to ask until surgery! Thanks for the help!

Hi All, I am pledging 15 points this week, that is 150 minutes of exercise/activity for the week. I forgot to post last week, but managed to think about moving/exercise all the same. I notice the more I get out and about the less time I spend on the computer! Come on and join in...everyone welcome. Booklean

I had RNY on March 15th. I lost 10 lbs during my pregnancy-op diet. At my two week check up, I had lost 20 lbs. Since then, I have only lost and additional 6 lbs. (it's been 24 days) it is too early for a stall? Has anyone else experienced a stall so early on?
