Just got home... Pain isn't too bad...
FINFAN3DP replied to FINFAN3DP's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I think the gas pains are all gone now. Really, i think it might not have been gas that was causing pain, but rather my diaphram from being blown up. I feel pretty good right now, had an oxy about an hour ago, and have started drinking my Protein 2.0 water. I can tolerate little sips, but nothing more. May wait till tomorrow to try yogurt or pudding. All in all, the Hernia pain seems more than the sleeve pain. Standing up or sitting down takes a lot as it is very painful. But, i'm doing it. Taking small walks downstairs or just down the hallway. Excited to see the weight shedding. I gained 10lbs in the hospital, and have already lost 3lbs from peein. The stomach needles for the blood thinner isn't as bad as I thought they would be. Thanks to everyone for their support on this site. -

Carnie Wilson Had Lap Band Surgery.....
Violet953 replied to Yve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow see I didn't know that it was common for ppl to gain it back so much...my mom had gastric bypass and did great with it...she's kept over 100 pounds off for over 11 years...she weighs around 130 now...first she lost 100 in the first 7 months, then years later lost another 20-30 pounds..in fact this year she started loosing a bit more! She's never once gained back a significant amount. She still can only eat a tiny bit after all these years...so that's just crazy to me that you guys went through so much only to gain it all back in a few years...its terrible! I really hope the lapband works for you! -
Carnie Wilson Had Lap Band Surgery.....
54Shirley replied to Yve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
She gained it back after she had a child. I bought 3 of her cookbooks, and they are really good ! She should have better success with the band though, only now because she has 2 procedures going on for her. So I wish her the best of luck. Someone should contact her, and tell her to join lapbandtalk.com Would be interesting in talking to her. -

I read her book she wrote after her bypass surgery. I am not a fan of hers but I was thinking about that proceedure and wanted to know how it felt from someone who did it. I do not think she was thinking it was a majic wand or a quick fix. She followed the rules very well for a long time and lost a huge amount of weight. However, she spoke alot about how she had a huge amount of feelings come up that she use to cope with food to deal with. She started smoking pot for a while and went to a counselor weekly for a year. I think she just has so much personal issues that she looks for anything to self comfort and food is her favorite. I think her deep down self issues ande self view is very very poor. She has major issues. Hopefully she has delt with them better this time before surgury. Best of luck for her. -
Husband is stressing me out pre-op
momof3_angels posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Vent warning! So, yesterday I worked my last shift at work, I have the weekend and the holiday off normally, then Tuesday I am off for another doctors appointment (unrelated). Surgery is Wednesday. I am ready. A little nervous, but mostly excited and anxious to get this done. Hubby is home for his normal day off. All he is doing is giving me crap about the unnecessary surgery and how I can lose all the weight if I just diet more and walk at least 5 miles a day. He conveniently has forgotten that I gained all the weight when I hit 40 and was doing EVERYTHING RIGHT! Including also walking EVERYWHERE. He also conveniently forgets all my failed diet and exercise attempts and how my health has been steadily going down hill with the weight gain. Or how many times he has helped to sabotage me. He is TRYING to be supportive, but he is berating and mocking me at every chance he gets. I know this is his stress talking. He is so afraid of surgery and he thinks of this as an elective/unnecessary procedure. HIS surgeries have complications. Mine are always fine thus far. I see it as a necessary procedure to help me regain my health. Anyhow... he was awful this morning. I finally got angry and nearly broke down in tears. When that happened he finally got his **** together and said he is supporting me. If he wasn't supporting me he would now have gotten time off of work to help me or drive me to/from the hospital. But that doesn't change what a jerk he is being. Just so frustrated! And of course, time feels slower now that I am so close. Need to move the clock forward. I desperately want to get past the surgery so he can stop freaking out and I can start recovering! -

Yes it is not uncommon for those who have had gastric bypass to regain the weight after atleast 5 years....wish I was offered a different path at that time but it is what it is and I deal with it... Thanks for the good wishes....I will post as it happens...perhaps it will help someone else .... -
One month post op weight gain?
athena3127 replied to athena3127's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for the response! I was starting to think I had really messed up gaining weight when I'm hardly eating anything was crazy! -
Just hoping I’m approved
ElseeG replied to ElseeG's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I think that’s fine too. I probably sound like a complete jerk whining about this. Sorry guys. I’m just so sick of living my life this way. I avoid all sorts of social settings because of my weight. It hinders me professionally. I’ve been going to dietitians since grade school. I don’t want my young girls to one day realize just how heavy their mommy is. I want to set a good example for them. It doesn’t make sense to me that I have to wait until I’m really sick before I can do something about this situation. Sorry. I’m just really frustrated. -
Hello! ( I'm placing this in different forums because I'm so new and I have no idea where is a good place for my question, apologies!) I'm so incredibly new to this so hopefully I'm placing this in the correct area! Anyway, I am 17 and severely overweight. I recently decided I wanted to peruse surgery. My mother is supportive, my brother wants to do it with me, and my grandmother (whom opinion mattered the most) thought it was a great idea. I am a in the 400 (yikes) and feel like I genuinely have no future for myself if I don't lose the weight. I want to go off to college and I want to be someone and I feel as if this weight is holding me back. I recently called to attend a seminar and a meeting with my pcp on oct 24th. I'm worried; it takes 6 months plus a wholeee bunch of tests. I never really kept up with a pcp, I was a very introverted child and pushed doctors away because I didn't want to accept my weight. So I have absolutely NO history of tracked diets. (I did them but never kept up or have evidence of them). So I guess my questions are; Do you think it will actually take 6 months? Will I need to track my diets with a pcp? Having my age AND WEIGHT in consideration is this a good idea? (If i fail the diets can they not let me have surgery?) Can they decide surgery isn't for me after 6 months? Sleeve or bypass I really want the surgery so I'm at a loss Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congrats at making the choice to improve your way of life. I actually know someone that had the surgery at 12 bcuz she was close to the 400's. She is has maintained a healthy weight since. I fully understand not wanting to wait the 6 months. I was feeling the same way. I've done diets and worked out and lost a lot of weihht. But what I found out on this 6 month journey is that I've been learning new things I didn't know before. I think the 6 months is needed so that you can learn all the healthy eating habits and life style changes you will need. Just push your self to do everything you need to get it done. I wish I had the courage to make the choice you are a long time ago. I just finished the apts I am waiting for my final apt before the surgery. I will be more than happy to answer any of your questions. And we can exchange ideas. Good luck on your journey you got this.

Question about reaching that ever elusive "Sweet Spot"
CareBear09 replied to OneYearLater's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm having the same problem and feeling the same way as you. I was banded in June and have lost 44 lbs, but in the last 2 months I lose and gain the same 2-3 lbs. I keep a journal and follow weight watcher points. I've had 4 adjustments, but don't think I have my sweet spot yet. It's frustrating because I am trying real hard, not to say I haven't cheated, but it wasn't like I over induldged.... -
Question about reaching that ever elusive "Sweet Spot"
Nicole74 replied to OneYearLater's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am feeling the same you are! I was banded July 30th and have lost 40lbs..I have had 2 fills and my third is scheduled for Nov 30th on my 4mnth anniversary. Right now I have VERY little restriction. I can eat normal and never had any issues with eating anything, pbing, sliming or getting stuck. I am very frustrated. I have been going to the gym 4x a week taking 2 hour long classes back to back. I hvn't lost any weight in several weeks. Now, I have to admit a day here or there I have eat things I shouldnt have or eat alot more than I should have but I cannot wait to have restriction!! I know that will make the difference in my weight loss and help me out. I too fee like Iv lost about just as much weight as I did when I was on Weight watchers....people do keep telling me I will get there and it will get easier once I have good restriction but it just seems like its taking so much longer than I expected to get to that point. I think to answer your ultimate question, once you have good restriction the point is you will more than likely keep it off unlike all the times we have dieted in the past. Not to mention if you dont really have restriction its easier to fall off the wagon and eat alot more than you should or can! Hang on girlfriend..your not alone! -
Question about reaching that ever elusive "Sweet Spot"

Newbie Sleever / 1St Stall / Help
sleeve_sister replied to Yasmine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you been measuring yourself? I've only lost 3 lbs in the last 2 weeks last week I lost none, but I started measuring myself and I've list 4 inches in the bust and 3 in the waist. Even if your not losing weight your losing inches. Try that to keep from getting frustrated about the weight stall. -
Gallbladder is located under right rib cage. I've had many weight loss surgeries unfortunately. Two lap band and the sleeve. This pain is nowhere near any incision and I know what incisional pain is like. I'm just concerned that with my up and down loss over the years that this recent loss of 36 pounds in less than a month may be the kicker.

I have lost 60 pounds this Is the most weight I have ever lost. And I know it will be for good. I am down about 4 sizes in pants. My shirts are all to big. I don't want to buy to many things. I have boughten some things from goodwill. I feel so much better. Yesterday I did the elliptical machine for the first time. I actually liked it. Which is a first for me to like excersice.

I voted for you. And I wanted to say that I love the idea of getting a charm each time you lose a certain amount of weight.

4 months post op & The longest stall ever!
barroshe replied to LeticiaHuggins's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I stalled about 8 weeks out for 2.5 weeks. My doc said its your body getting used to the weight loss. Plus I do weights at the gym and its slower to come off the scale with that too. Keep it up and it will come off!!!! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk -
From the album: photos of me when I was approx 180 lbs or less.
I will conquer and get back to this weight and then to goal! -
If you feel like talking, there are several of us on here who have had strictures, I had an RNY, have been fighting it and jejunal ulcers since October 2018, a month and half. after my surgery on September 5th. Been a long time,healing, but I am hoping,for resolution soon. In the meantime I have learned to roll with the punches. My journey has not been average, that's okay, I am a Limited Edition anyway. And still in most ways I am much better than when I started. My High Weight was 365+ on a 5ft8in body, I am now just a skoosh over 200 pounds, haven't been weighed for maybe a week, 214 then, been losing about 3-r pounds a week so maybe 210? In some respects it is what it is, but I try to keep my fluids in, on a pureed diet basically, a lot of soups, broths, protein shakes, that is what my pouch accepts and handles. Had a PICC line for 3 months, was being fed TPN 12 hours a day, have had mutiple endoscopies, I think 13 Lifetime, another scheduled June 12th, have had to have an Iron INFUSION in March, but afterwards I did find renewed energy. What next? Don't know but I am a resilent old chick and I WILL,MAKE IT THROUGH. So I'm here if you need an understanding virtual shoulder to cry on, okay? 😝❤🌈

So I'm 10 weeks and 6 days out and well this week I'm gaining weight!!!!!!!! So I'm frustrated.... But I know why I'm gaining but the point is I can eat any and everything with no problem. Ugh so I had some chocolates of course I did it goes down, it goes down really well. Although I have to say it again everything goes down really well. I guess I'm starting to panic this AM when the scale read up a few pounds. I was sick for a week and a half so I haven't worked out either. Ugh... I need to get back on the loosing track. It's just so hard. I know I need to plan my meals but I haven't all week I clearly know what the problem is but I wish my band could kick in to gear with me and stop me from being able to eat so much. Oh and this darn TOM that just won't go away I have been spotting since like a week after surgery and this AKA period was the worst ever it was heavy and I would have bleed threw situations all weekend. WOW as I'm rambiling on here and I'm seeing issues. I wonder if the PMS is making me crave chocolate. AM I a wide open TOM girl, because last months AKA TOM I was tighter then all get out!!!!! ugh My madness is complete MADNESS!!! Let me finish this blog on a good note: I do know that before the band I probably wouldn't have lost these 25 pounds I would have gained them so I'm greatful I was able to have willpower the first 10 weeks. I will try and continue from today to go back to my band rules and not eat other then Protien first, Veggies, Fruits, starches and sweets if I'm still hungry. AND DRINK MY WATER... AND WAIT THE WHOLE 1 HOUR AFTER MEALS to drink... PEACE!!!!!!
