November 2022 surgery support!
NP_WIP replied to feisty one's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Had my 1 week post op appointment, everything went well. I have been doing good with my fluid almost at 55oz and I'm taking in about 40g of protein. Pain is small on that incision and only when I do certain movements. I'm cleared to start pureed on Monday. -

My first probably 4 weeks I was super low energy, frustrated and losing my mind. Lol But after that hump, I was feeling much better physically and emotionally. It took about 8 weeks for me to feel like I had all my energy back.

Struggling with diarrhea
kcuster83 replied to Dianne Bradshaw's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh man, sorry for all of your hiccups! I am glad they are getting your fixed up and I hope you feel better soon. As far as the diarrhea, I had it bad for a week or so after surgery also. As soon as I drank or "ate" anything but water I would be in the bathroom within minutes. It did pass and now I am more regular than ever. I wish you the best! -
I have hit a Plateau...
Jeanniebug replied to Only Me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My first stall happened at 2 weeks post op. It lasted for 2.5 weeks. Finally, about 4 days ago, the scale started to move again. But, my ring started falling off and I was starting to see the weight loss in my face and feel it in my clothes. So, even though the scale wasn't moving, I was losing inches. Stay the course. Be patient. If you're making yourself crazy, stay off the scale. -
I took one week off but I work from home. Thanks for sharing

Oh wow - cutting the grass in week 2. Nice. Glad to hear you have energy. Very encouraging

I have hit a Plateau...
kaylee50 replied to Only Me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
UGH I am in a stall, too! I am so bummed because I finally got back into the 160s, for the first time since 2016...then nothing lost in two weeks. But I am trying to stay optimistic and sticking to the program. What's funny is I decided to search for "stall" here on these board, thinking I would pull up a few dozen threads. No, there were 17,501 results. That made me feel a little better! -
I have hit a Plateau...
Sleeve_Me_Alone replied to Only Me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Definition of "stall" varies pretty widely, but generally 3+ weeks with no loss is a stall. So if you haven't seen the scale move in a few days, that's really not a stall at all, especially so early out when you are still very much healing from surgery. And in fact, many surgeons and dietitians HIGHLY recommend not weighing daily, as your weight absolutely WILL fluctuate from day to day. And, as others have said, the 3 week "stall" is pretty notorious. Stick to your plan, consider weighing once a week instead of daily, and just give it time. -

I have hit a Plateau...
catwoman7 replied to Only Me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
that's actually really late for your first plateau - most people have their first one about three weeks after surgery! But like the others said, do nothing. Just stick to your plan and stay off the scale for a few days. Stalls usually last 1-3 weeks. If you stick to your plan, it'll break and you'll be on your way again. And like sillykitty said, this won't be your last one. -
First 4-5 days were rest & recuperation time for me. But by the 2nd week I felt a lot better and even cut my yard (although my Sugeon didn't want to hear that). My 3rd week I am still a little tired but able to carry out my daily activities with no problem including washing my cars. Not quite ready to run a marathon but as my metabolism adjusts, my energy seems to be increasing.

it took about two months before my energy had COMPLETELY returned, but of course, it does get better and better every day. Most people are back at work after about two weeks. I didn't have trouble working (I had a desk job) - although I got pretty tired in the afternoons the first few weeks. It didn't keep me from performing, though.

This exactly. This won’t be your last stall. They happen. Just stick to your plan and it will break. -
I found B12 supplements were critical a couple months post op. First I got them from my WLS surgeon during follow ups. Then I switched to sublingual pills once a week

Yep! This is totally me too. I'll stall and then drop. My surgery team says not only is this normal but very healthy for our bodies. It gives it time to adjust and catch up. So I am not worrying about these little stalls anymore and know that slow and steady is WINNING the race! One thing I have added to my week are green smoothies with a really good veggie powder. There's no possible way I could eat all the veggies I need to meet nutrient requirements, so a good veggie powder in my smoothie has helped me a lot. I try to eat a salad at lunchtime with oil and balsamic vinegar. Another thing I have been doing is 18:6 intermittent fasting to help keep insulin spikes down. I try to get all my eating done within the six-hour window, and I'm finding I'm not hungry and doing really well on it. Fasting is also very good for helping loose skin through autophagy, I recently got Covid and that hasn't been helpful, but it makes you less hungry for a few days. 🤣

I was tired the 1st few weeks but that is to be expected after what my body just went through plus not eating very much those weeks too. But after my body adjusted to all of it I had more energy then I knew what to do with! Everyone is gonna be different & don’t NOT get the surgery because of what anyone says. Just make sure to follow your Drs instructions, you will find those very a lot too!

I had surgery on the 22nd and flew back on the 24th, my doctor said it was fine because it was less than 2 hrs. If I was driving which was roughly a 3-hour trip, they told me to stop every hour and walk for 5 min since the main issue in the beginning is blood clots. I think you should be fine but confirm with your surgeon just in case he has a different guideline, I'm also on lovenox to avoid blood clots.

November GBP Patients!
Old Salt replied to New Revision Patient 11-22's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Sounds good. Everyone will be different as there are a lot of contributing factors such as age, male or female, starting weight, etc. I just hit my 3 week post-op date and have lost only 14 lbs since my surgery, but am happy with the progress. I only weigh myself once a week and realistically am looking at not reaching my goal weight until November of next year. Slow & steady is OK with me as long as it's permanent this time. Remember, your weight loss will not be linear, but a step down with some steps longer & others bigger. You are doing good, keep it up! -
First, there is no amount of weight one "should" lose by now. Everyone is different. If you are on plan you are doing great. Focus on your plan not on your scale. Get rid of your scale, it will make like much easier. On to plan. Again, each of our plans are different. Some are better or worse but it's probably more important to learn the discipline of following a plan than the particulars of the plan. By 3 months I was at my "forever" plan, which was 3 meals per day consisting of 3oz protein, 1oz veggies. I can't always manage the whole meal. If I can't get past one or two bites I may try again in an hour or so. I dump on sugar and fats, so I learned pretty quickly to avoid those. Otherwise I could eat anything. Some foods, like most snack foods, anything potato, I could eat easily and in volume. For the first two or three years I avoided such foods completely until I could master moderation, which for me was a new concept. Surgery doesn't deal with 100% of our issues. What goes into our mouths is still a choice. @liveaboard15 I've commented before that your pictured food would be a perfect meal and it looks delicious. The great aspect of them is that even if one is eating the chicken (as an example) for 4 or 5 meals in a row, adding and changing the sauce can still create quite a variety of flavors. BBQ, Asian, Italian, Italian, Curry... Yum. Good luck, Tek
