I forgot I was up walking within a few hours post op. I felt like I got punched in my stomach, I had no drain and was home the next day. Back to work in a week. -
Today marks 4 months since surgery!!!!
jen36 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Its been 4 months since surgery today, I have lost exactly 40lbs today and I am loving my band. I have not had so much energy in about 8yrs and I can actually make it up a flight of stairs without being out of breathe.. this was the best decision I have made!!!! I have about 25-30lbs to go and there is no doubt that I can make it!!!!! I had a tough few weeks where I lost nothing at all and actually gained but I cut some calories and up'd the workout at the gym and now back on track!!!!!! I actually lost 7 of those lbs just since last friday and am so happy about that!!! -
Woohoo! I just got a job offer. The pay is better and there is an extra week of vacation. AND they give you an extra 15 minutes on your lunch break for walking. So cool! I went shopping for some new work clothes this morning, the size large button up shirts gave me smash boob. Which reminded me of Chris Farley, lol.

I have cigna and was denied a few weeks ago, now they are even refusing to pay for my consult that I had with the surgeon. I called them before I even went to the dr to see if they covered the band they told me yes, then I get a denial letter and a statement saying that wls isn't covered with my plan. I told them that I had spoke to several people at cigna and they looked at my plan and they had told me it was covered. I have heard so many negative things about cigna, like they will require you to go on a year supervised diet and they still not cover the surgery after you have done every thing that they want you to do. I am taking out a loan and will be a self pay. Good luck, but I just felt like I was fighting a battle that I wouldn't win.

3 weeks yesterday. I am nervous because of all the gas. Im back to work and running to the bathroom every ten mnts to release large gas which sometimes does and sometimes doesn't have other stuff with it. WTH? I hope this goes away. Its been three days of this. On top of that i haven't moved a pound in three days! I thought this was when it "fell off"!

Lab work came back & it is not 2 good!
Susanne replied to Strwberriekissesrbetter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You really have to fix your eating problem...and yeah, 300 calories 8 weeks out sounds bulimic to me too, even if it is because you have stomach issues -
I know I know. It's been awhile since I've been on here. I've lost 35 lbs since surgery and I feel pretty great. But yesterday and today I'm having left sides pain like under my rib cage an around to my back and around my left incision where my stomach came out of...is this normal? I don't wanna be a baby and call my surgeon. Lol.

I am almost four weeks out and my doctor is a bit lenient on the diet saying soft to regular as tolerated after 3 weeks. I have had chicken, chili, veggies, a few fishies, and tuna and chicken salad. I had trouble with deli turkey and some dairy products but for the most part I just eat a little bit and seem fine.

I'm traveling overseas four weeks after and my doctor said it was ok Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

4 Weeks Post Op Hard Time Getting Food In
circa replied to Lloydthumper's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, I think the fact that you're "backed up" has a lot to do with the limited amount you can eat and drink as well as the stall. Everyone stalls - don't stress about that - stay away from the scale. I recommend moving back a stage from solids to mushies and definitely find yourself a laxative or stool softener - find out what your doc suggests! -
I am sorry for your loss my mom passed away last june a week after her 70th bday, I am also from the south - Mississippi - so I can understand the food and the quantities - hoping things get better soon hugs to you Katie

1 Week Out & Extreme Fatigue (& Hunger)
Ms skinniness replied to jewelwithin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
After surgery I was always hungry, no matter what. I told the PA's at the surgeon's office and they didn't say anything. However, on this site, I received feedback from others about taking a PPI (nexium, prilosec, or something for acid reflux). So I tried prilosec for a couple of weeks and it really did take away the hunger. COme to find out, it is alot of acid in my pouch that wsa causing such a ruckus. Glad that I found that info here. -
Coffee and Alcohol?
iowagirl replied to Estrellita's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved one week ago today on Sept 1st and have had coffee every single day since - although I switched to Decaf coffee. In fact I was given decaf coffee in the hospital even. My nutrionist counts it as part of my daily Fluid intake so long as it is decaf and anything added to it is either sugar free or fat free and limit it to 2 cups per day. But really I prefer mine black anyways. In fact when I went for my first appt with the nutrionist and we were going over my list of can and can't haves coffee was not listed and I specifically asked her about it. Truthfully there was nothing on the can't have list I couldn't live without but I was upfront and told her there was no way I would give up coffee. Over the last two years prior to surgery I had given up white carbs, Desserts, cigarettes, candy, soda, alcohol (except for special occassions) and fried foods. There was simply no way I was giving up my coffee because I was having surgery to be healthy, not be deprived of every single thing I enjoyed and she agreed. She even pointed out studies that show regular coffee drinkers, regardless of whether it regular or decaf have lower rates of colon cancer. My stomach tolerates it no differently than before surgery - thank god! Cause I LOVE the stuff! However she told me no alcohol until 4 months after surgery -

Banded 9/10/10- Questions
honk replied to SarahMarie123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon let me have protein shakes and broth the first week. Starting week two I was allowed to start taking vitamins (multi and calcium). -
I am 10 days post op. I lost 17 lbs the first week and nothing since. Ugh
-
Yup, cravings can be pretty bad the first couple weeks, be strong, it gets a lot easier very soon. My craving was Five Guys burgers. Now they're building one in my town, and it doesn't even bother me.
-
DITTO! I actually melted some chocolate a week and a half after surgery and had a tablespoon just to kill my craving. I feel your pain! These protein shakes aren't doing it for me at all!!!!

Thanks for the chicken dance!

I posted it a few weeks ago it sounded crazy but it works, had to pass it along. Someone told me at a support group meeting about it. Cheri -

Can you lose too fast?
Fallenangel2904 replied to Groovinchikin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lost 20 pound week 1 (I also had a heigh weigh 359) after the first week though it evened out and I hit a plateau for a few weeks, so don't be surprised if you stall for a little while after such a big loss. Generally when you start out with more to lose you drop the weight faster then say someone who started out at 220lbs. Don't worry it will even out, you won't be losing 20lbs every week lol -
Can you lose too fast?
Squisha replied to Groovinchikin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started at 407 and in the first few weeks I was losing almost 4lbs a day, and then at 3weeks I stalled for 3 weeks. After that I slowed down to about 10-15lbs a month -
Ok, so I was sleeved a week ago. YAYY! I am thrilled about beginning my journey, but I'm scared that I'm losing weight at a faster rate than I've heard of other people losing. I lost 23 pounds in 7 days and I am concerned that I may be doing something wrong? My starting weight is pretty high (370) and I thought that could have something to do with it? Do any of you more experienced sleevers know if this is normal?

Good day! I haven't been here for awhile. Today marks six months since I had Gastric Sleeve Surgery. I've lost close to 80pounds and still loosing! From 237 to 159! The loosing has slowed down though. I go to the gym at least 4-5 times a week. Always hungry, but a little bite here and there gets me satisfied. This is the best thing I've ever decided to do...I feel great, all my lab test are great, and look good too! I'm not afraid to go out of my house anymore...I enjoy being with people...more outgoing! Good luck to those that are about to have surgery and to those in the coming months. Congrats to those had surgery...you should feel as great as I!
