Dr. Justin Bessell Patients...Question for you!!!
CallieOzgirl posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded by Dr. Bessell just over 3 weeks ago so I have 5 more days of pureed/mushy food. I am so sick of it---what is next?!?! It says soft but how long for and does that include anything good? :thumbup: I am dying to crunch and chew!!! Please let me know, love to hear from you! Cheers, CallieOzgirl -
I had surgery July 9th and it went very well. I stayed in the hospital three nights - they said I could leave after 2 but I wanted to stay one more. I was up and walking 1/2 hour after surgery and then every 2 hours after that. There was pain and I would compare it to a c- section. There are sometimes sharp pains sometimes just pulls other times it feels like its burning. But manageable - I had 1 what the hell did I do to myself moment in the hospital but it passed. I am getting my Protein and Water in and have a good schedule with the Vitamins. I think it's all about a schedule and doing your best to keep to it. food hasn't been any problem but I'm still on full liquids - Tuesday I start the third stage so we will see how that goes. I look forward to this journey and where it takes me. I'm hoping I can get clearance to go back to Zumba my exercise of choice!! If anyone is thinking about this surgery do your research and educate yourself. I interviewed three surgeons before deciding on mine. You have to have faith in them and have a support system. My sister had the sleeve so she can answer most of my questions and is a great help. Good luck!!!

3 months post op.
bossportsgal replied to hdsjourney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am feeling the same as you. I'm at a stall. I am following my NUT plan to the T. But I realized that earlier on I was losing weight daily because I was eating a lot less and healing my tummy. Now that I'm on a regular diet, I'm not losing weight. I track everything in myfitnesspal and my NUT is my friend on it too. That helps track what I eat. I'm so worried too about stretching it. Thanks Nancy -
It's been three days on this schedule now, and I am eating or drinking nonstop. To calculate five meals every three hours, 5*3=15. 15 hours of my day, I am eating every three hours. In between, I have JUST enough time to wait 30-45 minutes, twice, to drink for 90 minutes, and eat again. I'm exhausted.

so sad only down 8lbs, today is 3wks post op
CurvyCakes replied to re14768's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I understand how ur feeling I'm 3 weeks post op and I'm down 13lbs. At first I started getting down about it then i thought to myself this is a journey not a race. I have to embrace the good times and the bad. No other fad diet has provided this 8 or 13lbs of weight loss for me and left me feeling so great. Have I lost in large numbers?? Yes I have on Adkins diet but I didn't feel great like I do now my hair was was dry and brittle and with my critical carb count being so low on Adkins I had very little energy to work out. Trust me follow ur program work ur sleeve/tool get ur exercise in even just walking and the weight WILL come off. Hang in there u r actually doing fantastic. -
I am about 20 weeks post-op and I was doing well but now I have noticed that the sugar cravings have returned. I am having a problem resisting. I want to be committed to be eating healthy how can I get over this hurdle.

My doctor told me at my first follow up appointment that if I measured my success by the scale I would be disappointed every time. My scale reads 203 pounds and has been there for a couple of weeks now but the size 36 pants that fit when I first got them not too long ago are getting real loose. So just because I can’t see it on the scale doesn’t mean stuff isn’t happening.

How is your diabetes post surgery?
albertogunz replied to Deedle Dee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am thirteen days post-op. Sleeved Dec. 20th, off Lantus-type 2 diabetes completely gone. my blood sugars have been normal since Dec. 13th-(one week pre-op on liquid diet). hope this helps, the sleeve works miracles with diabetes. -
12 days post up. Finally getting more energy. Been on high protein liquids since surgery. Off all medication that was prescribed to me. This past week bad breath and oily film in mouth. I brush and brush & brush can't seem to get rid of it. Has any one had any thing familiar? I do go to Dr in 4 days. Hopefully I can start on soft foods.

Sleeved 10/8 and nervous of getting a leak
wk37 replied to dp81796's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sleeved on the same day as you following the rules. Leaks to my knowledge is not related to excess or wrong foods but is a surgical complication. Meaning it appears in the first two days postoperatively . So once you are a week past you shiuld have minimal worries about leaks. -
On a one week stall...

I’m 68 y.o. and just starting this journey. Did you have to go on a supervised diet for three months before your surgery per Medicare rules?

Was this out, or at home? I'm so scared of something like this happening when I'm at a business dinner. Even if I manage to get away from the table quickly, it would create a problem to be in the restroom for 15 minutes waiting for it to resolve. Ugh! So were you cutting up tiny bites of the hamburger and chewing really well? Were you eating the bread/bun? My post-op instructions say no bread at all for 8 weeks. It's one of those things that I'm going to try to leave behind MOST of the time even beyond that. I guess bread and rice are some of the foods most commonly that cause issues. Glad everything turned out alright in the end...

Hi everyone: I'm Liz. I am one week out from my procedure. I had my follow up visit today and proudly learned that I'm already down ten pounds. Well, my tummy is still swollen and protrudes more than normal. Does anyone know when the swelling goes down? Any tips? [emoji4] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using BariatricPal mobile app

Five days out from surgery and pain continues
Jb1176 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all, Surgery April 13, 2015 and today (April 18) the pain continues. Advised to take benifiber (12 gr a day) but it is producing gas which is very uncomfortable. Today is day three of puréed foods. Can only get down about 2 oz at a meal. How long will the surgical pain continue? -
Daily meds after surgery
TwinsMama replied to jamie1234's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My Dr would not allow me to take any pills for the first 2 weeks. After that I could take my PPI and then a month or so later I could take my gallbladder pill. At 6 weeks I could take any meds/vitamins that the Dr okay'd in pill form. -
Well i think the arms are a little harder to tone than the legs. At least for me. I have found the most wonderful machine in the world... It's called the ArcTrainer. It has really shaped my legs and butt. I use the "weight loss" mode on a low level. I started out only being able to stay on for like 5 minutes and am now up to 45 minutes averaging 3+ miles. I do this 3 to 4 times a week along with some weight training. I have only lost 50 pounds since October but have gone from a size 22W to 16W. So I honestly believe without this machine I would not be getting the results by just losing weight alone.

I was sleeved Dec 6 2010 and I still get a film. It is a nasty yellow stuff that coats my tongue, it's better than it was the first weeks but still present. I went to the drug store and got a tongue scraper and scrape my tongue every time I brush. I also use orange Listerine at every brush too. If I were to hazard a guess I would say it's from burning a lot of fat rather than the carbs / Protein directly from food? This is just a guess.

If I had to pick one thing that I would suggest to anyone getting this surgery to have on hand post op it would be a heating pad. I am 4 weeks out, yesterday. I have had my heating pad plugged in next to my bed for 4 weeks. The first few weeks I used it on the low setting on my stomach. It really really helped, than I used it when I overdid it and my abdominal muscles hurt and last night was my first night back at the gym (released yesterday) and I am using it on my sore sore muscles. It has been a life saver.

I hate stalls but they pass quickly

I am being banded on 2/12/08. I have read alot about preop diet and am currently on a high Protein low carb diet for two weeks. I'm curious if there is a difference between the diet they tell 200+ to lost, versus someone who is not so large. What was everyone's preop diet? I'm concerned about my liver being too large and the surgeon cancelling once he gets inside. I've read some stories about this happening. Basically, I'm just scared. Please help! :eek: Heidi

Time Off Work - How Much Time?
clk replied to Ssilian's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The only issue I can see is not getting in your liquids. I had to sip all day long. I had about five days after surgery to recuperate (four in hospital, one flying back home) before tending to my toddler twins while my husband was traveling. It's not the same as working two jobs but I was on my feet, up and down stairs and generally moving for most of the day within one week of surgery. Two weeks out you're going to feel A LOT better, especially if you don't allow yourself to get dehydrated after surgery. I think you'll be tired from working so hard and adjusting to such low calories but if you work on getting liquids in you should do fine. ~Cheri
