I'm doing really well. It has gone much easier than I ever imagined. I'm down 32 pounds but been In a bit of a stall. Started reg foods yesterday. So far so good. -
So I had my 2 week visit today and got to move onto puree foods. The most exciting thing was to learn that I am @ 19% loss and down to 347 from my start weight of 409. WooHoo

Well, crap. I have a hernia.
AlanSimmons replied to AlanSimmons's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep, I did have an endoscopy, but that was just for an anatomical compatibility check. The little guy that I'm dealing with now only rears his hear when I'm lying down and pull my knees up and push my butt up in the air. I was banded July 22, so I'm just a few weeks post-op. I plan on calling my doc tomorrow and finding out what's up. Thanks so much! -
Birthday weekend and went crazy on pasta I feel like vomiting...
*Lexie* replied to vbm510's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How long ago was your surgery? I'm only a few weeks post op and haven't been brave enough to try Pasta or bread yet. They are both trigger foods for me so the longer I can wait, the better. But otherwise, I haven't had issues with anything I've eaten. -
I'm on week 5, lost 10lbs, and dropped 1 1/2 clothes sizes.

Inches not pounds?
cyncitygirl replied to Luckystar12's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I am in your boat! Our stats are similar! Pre-op:260 SW:244 Current weight:219 Surgery date 1/10/13. 3 months out. I was losing steadily and when I finally get in this groove of more workouts and a higher pace, nothing!! I can't break past 219. The scale goes between 219-222. Gimme a break!! But I send feel smaller and more fit. I just hope in a month I see a big difference. Today I are at Baja Fresh and ordered the skinny wahoo fish bowl (no rice sub more Beans though next time I think I will sun more veggies). It is 3 pieces of grilled mahi 2oz each and a bowl w cabbage, black beans and this really good mango salsa. It's so good. With out the rice it came to 459 calories and it lasted me three meals (lunch, snack and dinner). It's gonna be my new go-to if I have to eat out. Hope my body recognizes the effort I'm making!! Please keep me posted on your weight loss!! -
My plastic surgeon is in Fort Worth. She is awesome. Very much a perfectionist and wonderful dr. She did surgery on one of "The Biggest Loser" contestants. She's been in D Magazine as top docs several years. Dr Candis Lovelace in FW/Keller. I consulted with multiple dr and she won hands down. I'm a nurse at one of the hospital she uses and the OR staff think she's great!! Even her office staff are incredible!! I just posted 10 weeks post LBL on another thread. Good luck! Holly

What do you love about your new personality?
Terribj replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I find myself more pro-active. It seems crazy Instead of walking past that piece of plastic in the lawn I pick it up throw it away Instead of waiting until the last minute to Iron something for work I now iron a weeks worth of clothes Instead of walking my the pantry and grabbing a handful of Snacks I walk past the pantry to the workout room instead of waiting until the bill is due I pay it when it comes in the mail, put a stamp on it and walk down to the mailbox Instead of walking in the garage and looking at the totes of "junk" and turning around and walking back out -- I now do a tote a day and clean. Instead of waiting for the dog to BEG to go out, at the first sign we go for a walk Instead of sitting for hours in front of the TV - I now DO THINGS. -

48 hours after my surgery
North_Chicky replied to FRED1977's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Keep walking! It will get better. I'm 1 week, 4 days out and I feel great! When I first rolled onto my side, holding tightly to a pillow seemed to help. Good luck. -

Has anyone noticed an increase in leg cramps while loosing? I have been getting cramps nearly every night. They are in m lower leg but it's weird--they are in the front of my calf. Usually I have only gotten them in my calf. These in the front (well kinda the side) are soooo hard to get rid of. I have heard it could be due to lack of Water or potassium. I am ok on the water but could use more potassium. I will bring it up with my dr next week but I was jusy curious i anyone else experienced this. J Banded 9/22

Day 4, and I got a 6 oz yogurt in over a span of nine hours. I'm elated to be back on food. I've been on Water for days! After the yogurt, I heated up 4 oz of a broth concoction that I cooked weeks ago in advance. I'm in heaven. This broth is chicken Soup from scratch, greek yogurt, mashed potato, and minced onions. mmmmmmmm

How Much Of Regular Food Can U Eat Now After Surgery?
lollyfidy1965 replied to gettinMeBack's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 13 weeks post-op, and am still only able to eat 2-3 ounces of "dense protein" (i.e. meat). I can eat 1/4 cup cottage cheese along with 1/4 cup tuna salad (total 1/2 cup). Sometimes I'm able to eat a couple pieces of veggies (carrots, green beans, asparagus, etc) along with my 2-3 ounces of meat. I don't push myself (I've learned not to...the consequences are very uncomfortable!), and I supplement with protein shakes, gelatein 20, or protein bars, to ensure I get enough protein every day. -
I am going to meet with the surgeon for the first time. I am nervous that he will find a reason not to accept me. I am 219 lbs and 5 6. I just went to sleep doctor last week and she thinks I have sleep apnea but I need to wait for test. I have seven steps to get to surgery and tomorrow is step one. I have to admit that going forward is tough. I keep second guessing myself. Wish me luck.

I did not reach my goal :(
MINI-Me replied to brazcan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Coops said it perfectly. Print it out & read it when you are feeling down. You are doing well. Many have said it & it is really hard to believe it (when you are in the middle of a stall or not reaching an arbitrary goal), but .... THIS IS A JOURNEY, NOT A RACE. You can and will do this! Follow your plan & enjoy the ride. -
I was cured of horrible gout pain after 5 months of suffering, and no help from here, or any doctor except life threatening drugs that hospitalized me and nearly killed me. A compound pharmacist saved my life, within 4-5 days. Simple. 2 weeks of fruit and veggies. take six tart cherry capsules, 2 at a time, 3 times a day. Take 3 Celery capsules, at meals, along with three CUramin capsules 3 times a day. Munch on celery sticks. Use Tumeric powder as a condiment, like salt and pepper, the rest of your life, on salads and everything. Too much protein caused my gout. 2 years gout free and happy. The tears are no more.

I'm 4 weeks out. Saw the endocrinologist today. My finger sticks have been good enough that she officially discontinued all my meds (which I had been off since the surgery to see how I was doing). Before I started this program, I had uncontrolled diabetes, and was on 3 meds for that.

Hernias are easy to get during recovery, it's even listed as a side-effect, I threw up a couple times and thought I got one again. It could also be the way the surgeon repaired it the first time..sometimes they aren't as durable as we'd like. Ways to prevent it on basic medical journals is: Wear loose clothing during recovery. When your stomach is full, avoid bending over or lying down. Do not bend over or lie down for two to three hours after eating. Raise the head of the bed six to eight inches by using wooden blocks under the bedpost Maintain a healthy weight

Down 11lbs., since my surgery 7/30. Still on liquids for one more week, but my NUT added cream soups, light yougurt, and cottage cheese! Might not sound like much, but to me, it sounded as good as going to Red Lobster, lol!!! I know I have a long road ahead, but, I'm just gonna enjoy this moment!
