Carbonation is off limits for me, but I did try non-alcoholic sparkling wine and I was able to tolerate it very very slowly. My sister had the sleeve earlier last year and 3 months out she was having beer, nursing it for a few hours but now she can do 2 small ones comfortably.

Hello, I unfortunately broke my 9th rib on the left side Saturday night. I went to the emergency room and made sure that they checked my stomach. Everything was ok there. But I was wondering if anyone else has broken any bones post op? Tomorrow will be 10 weeks postop for me. And did this have any negative impact on your progress? Thanks

Body contouring recovery time
ksgypsy replied to ClareLynn's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I was in the hospital one night. Checked in at 5:45am the day of surgery. It lasted @ 7 hours. I was feeling good the next day.Physical therapy walked with me & I had relatively little pain. After Dr. LoMonaco checked me out, I was discharged @ 3pm. Pain levels are very individual but mine really never went above a 4.5/5 and I have walked 3 times per day for 15 minutes with little discomfort since leaving the hospital. I wanted to have an inner thigh lift at the same time but Dr. said it would be too much so I may do that later. Good luck! -

November Surgery Buddies!!!
ForMyOhana replied to Tristenhilpert97's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
So, here I am... 3 months into this stall. Still 265 today. I feel pretty good. I did have a couple bouts of arrhythmia earlier in the month that I can't explain, but pretty good since. Clothes fitting looser, weights getting heavier, but the weight not moving. My doctor is not going to be happy with me if I don't make some progress between now and my May 15 check up. I have not been good about my tracking lately. I need to cut out the alcohol too... week days are good, weekends get me. I'm still good about getting to the gym 4 to 5 times per week and my diet is not horrible. I just need to figure out what to do to break through. -
Hi, I have a bypass booked for the 13/3 and I was wondering if anyone had made or come across anyone who has had surgery, preferably recently, and had made a daily blog or journal so you can read about their journey in detail from the beginning? What and how often they ate, how they felt, how many corridor loops they walked, their journey home.... Etc etc.

7 Days Into Pre-Op Diet... 7 Days Until Surgery .. Bowels Still Producing
summerseeker replied to Mr. Baseball's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes its normal, there is fibre in the protein shakes. Plus you are taking psyllium husk 3 times a day which is more fibre. This bulks out your stools and I hope it explains things for you. -
You're right. I never smoked, drank, did drugs, walked at the gym for 3 months before surgery, followed the preoperative diet, and my BMI is below 40. I'm just scared is all. Life is amazing. I kinda wanna live Iol [emoji3590] but all those you listed are true and I need to keep telling myself that. I do have a heart condition but my doctor cleared me for surgery [emoji126] I'm postop day 5 now and the only chest pains I have I'm guessing are gas Thanks for your comfort and reassurance [emoji120] [emoji3590] *~☆AnxiousMommy☆~*

Alleycat20032003 replied to ceri84's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just got booked today for March 15th. Very excited and also like someone said earlier, it is real now! I had a pre/ post op nutrition class. My last dr appt is 3/7 for a surgery physical. Best wishes everyone! May February go by really quick -
I have an appointment next week to discuss revision of RNY. What do I have to say or do to convince the surgeon I need this revision??! I had my original surgery in 2014. I lost 100lb in about 8 mo. Since the pandemic I have regained about 50 lb. I am so miserable. My BP is elevated again, sleep apnea returned , osteoarthritis acting up. Help me please, someone.

But won't zero/low alcohol beer still be carbonated? Seems that might be a problem. I have had some wine after 3 months with no problem except feeling guilty about the empty calories. For beer in my future, I am looking forward to realxing by the pool sipping on a cold non-carbonated type in the near future. Look into "nitro" and "cask-conditioned". There are some really good Nitro craft beers that I've had in the past. Yep, I'm pushin 70 and as they say "Old enough to know better but too old to care". 🍻

Two weeks since surgery! (And my easy crying lol)
catwoman7 replied to bypass24jan2023's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had "buyer's remorse" the first couple of weeks. It's common - and people usually get over that pretty quickly. a lot of women notice crazy hormones the first few weeks or months of surgery (weird menstrual cycles and emotions all over the place). It's because estrogen is stored in fat cells, and it's released during rapid weight loss. It'll stabilize once your weight loss slows down. -
Two weeks since surgery! (And my easy crying lol)
bypass24jan2023 posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
My two week anniversary today (lost 10.4 kilos since my bypass, 22.93 pounds) and generally had good progression over the time. I’m shocked by how little I need to eat so far in purée section but presume this increases over time. Biggest shock is how easily I cry over emotional or sad things. Cried seeing someone who I thought might be homeless yesterday. Not that I was emotionless before but gee, this has been a ride lol I have had moments of regret and realisation of what I paid to have done to me. I doubt these will Continue past a point but my mind has been my biggest enemy, the rest, so far, has been good. -
mortality rate on gastric bypass is 0.3%, and it's even lower on sleeve (can't remember the percentage on sleeve other than it's lower). That means you have at least a 99.7% chance of making it through just fine. Those are better odds than hip replacement surgeries. major complications are pretty rare. The most common complication with bypass is a stricture (also known as a stenosis), which happens to about 5% of bypass patients. That's a very minor issue and is easily "fixable". I had two of them - one at four weeks out and the second at eight weeks out. They just do an upper endoscopy and stretch it out. Easy peasy. You're right in that complications, if you do have them, will usually crop up during the first three months after surgery (strictures do - they're extremely rare after that), but that doesn't mean you're at any great risk. It just means they usually show up early, if they show up at all. Lots of people on here have never had any complications at all. And again, the vast majority are minor and can be fixed. After the first three months, you're pretty much home free (that's not to say that complications will never show up after the first three months, but they're very rare after that). quit reading the horror stories. I read those too and they scared the crap out of me, so I made myself quit reading them. I've been on this board for eight years, and most of us have no complications at all or very minor ones that can be fixed. you are at much greater risk by staying obese than you are having the surgery.

Mostly that there's no alcohol in it and I don't like beer. I waited until at least 2 years post-op for actual alcohol. I didn't hit goal until about 3 years to put it in context. Good luck, Tek

Almost 11 weeks. The nurse did tell us if we had any issues to use a stool softener and make sure we are hitting our fluids. Some from my support group do a suppository when things do not move for a while.

Does anyone else have health anxiety regarding this surgery? --- I'm so worried about developing stenosis, blood clots, or sudden heart failure! I made the mistake of looking into the death statistics and the most common deaths from gastric and how it mostly happens up to 4 weeks after surgery due to those causes. Age range 32-54 and weight 285-400+ -- Likely overreacting, but it's a huge worry of mine. I'm constantly checking my incisions and moving just to avoid it. I read we're high risk up to 3 months post op. -- I had surgery Feb 2nd 2023 *~☆AnxiousMommy☆~*

February 2023 surgery dates!
KimberlyS0830 replied to Erin18's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery date is February 20th. I’m excited and really nervous. I also just started the liquid diet and I’m praying I can make it these two weeks. -

Getting a sleeve 2/13!! Just had my preop class and one more week of my liquid diet and it then surgery!! -
I recently started supplementing my daily cardio with weight training - I am seeing a personal trainer now two mornings a week, I noticed in the personal trainer sessions I’m getting lightheaded. I don’t experience the same lightheadedness during intensive (Zone 4-5) swim or other cardio workouts. Im pretty confident this lightheadedness is an issue of properly fueling myself for a weight training workout. THE ASK: I’m looking for suggestions of what I can eat in the morning ahead of training to better fuel myself to prevent lightheadedness . Secondarily I’m also generally interested in what you all eat prior to workouts. - My current routine includes a Premier Protein and a protein2O energy at 75 mins and 30 mins before a workout as well as at least 8oz Water. - I’m 2 months post-sleeve and my nutrition plan at this stage allows only the following in addition to our protein: 1 serving of fruit and 2 servings of non-root vegetables. Additional background: Before you suggest the below I’m already aware of, actively monitoring, and confident these things are not to blame: - Im well rested -it’s rare I don’t hit 8.5hrs/night. - I’m getting easily over 72oz of hydration daily - I’m averaging between 80-100 protein/day. - I was active before my surgery and have worked with trainers and weight training extensively in the past - the work I’m doing is not new to me. For example in the year before surgery I’ve deadlifted over 250lbs. **** I’ve also reached out to my nutrition team with this query but was interested especially in hearing from anyone else who has experienced and overcame this.****

4 days postop! ~ ♡
catwoman7 replied to AnxiousMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
the first BM often takes up to a week. First of all, there's not much in there - second, the anesthesia can affect that. And just a warning - the first one can be a doozy. You might want to start taking stool softeners or Miralax to make the "passage" a little easier... and just so you know, you may have issues even after this. Chronic constipation is a common issue for us (not everyone deals with it, but a lot of us do). I've been taking a capful of Miralax every morning for at least seven years just to keep on top of it. -
I'd check to see if they can put you on something else. There's so many birth control med options that I'm sure there are some that don't have those effects. I was on one once that made me really depressed - and I'm not a depressive person. My PCP put me on a different pill, and the depression lifted after about a week.

Hi KCuster83, sorry to hear you are going through this. When I started birth control after surgery I started with my old one, but notice how nauseous and anxious it made me, two weeks later I decided to try a progestin only, which is night and day. Hopefully you can find something that works better for you.

No energy 5 days post op sleev
KCgirl061 replied to Lisa M.'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This is what I experienced. I spent the first 2 weeks just sitting in a recliner sipping. After 3 weeks off I returned to my job and went straight to bed exhausted when I got home. It was another week or two before I felt like I had normal energy levels. -
Congrats on your surgery. I did have the sharp pain when coughing but I have pooped everyday since surgery, I'm a creature of habit so I go every day at the same time, grabted now I have to sit for 30min to make sure all is out. You seem to be doing better than me with the protein at 4 days out, my main concern was water then after week 1 was having protein too. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using BariatricPal mobile app
