Dark urine usually indicates not enough water. Icky and tired one week out is quite normal. My energy took a few weeks to get back up. I also started feeling really good and energetic in the 2 nd and 3 rd weeks but would poop out very quickly. I am 5 weeks post op tomorrow and energy levels are greatly improved and am able to exercise at the levels I did pre op.

14isabella posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not all that happy, but I was ready for less weight loss during the mushy phase. I saw my nutritionist today-lost 1 pound in the last week and a half!!! argh! Two weeks post surgery I had lost 10! Iknow not to be frustrated, and I go in for my first fill tomorrow, so..I posted earlier that I had been feeling hungrier, and as if I can eat more now. I'veread So many posts like this, I really shouldn't be even writing this, but I just needed to vent, y'all! Upping my Water and Protein should help-at least I didn''t gain, right? I'll try and remain positive!.. -
I was banded Nov. 12, 2012. My recovery has been great and 33lbs lost. I have 5 incisions from surgery. Three are completely healed and barely noticeable. The 2 smallest have decided to get red and looked like they have pus in them. Turned out to be thread from stitches , I guess, Doesn't hurt, but seems strange.. Due to go back for my first fill, Jan 3. Guess, if no pain or infection I will hold tight till then. Anyone had this happen? Thanks!

Good Morning everyone! Some of you know I decided to try eating raw for 30 days, and so far so good. Its really not as hard or as bad as I thought it would be. I think the hardest part of the whole day is my dinner time. SO im off to buy a dehydrator today so I can germinate nuts and seeds and make some crispps from veges and nuts. Some asked about my Protein intake and I find if I put it all into Dailyburn.com it averages out to be around 45 to 50 g of protein a day. I also get healthy oils in too via olive oil or coconut oil. And alot of Water too. Im not hungery in between meals and I love that! day 1 , 203.5 lbs day 2 , 201.5 lbs day 3 , 200 lbs day 4 , 199.5 lbs!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! Finally in the 100's! I realize that some of that weight if not all of it would be Fluid from salt and sugar but thats ok, its a number in the right direction. Eating Breakfast right now, and my DH said I should call it swamp log! LOL, its just a banana with almond butter, sunflower seeds and goji berries... I like all of them ingrediants so its going down well. My snak will be walnuts and apple.Lunch,,,I dont know yet. Probably a sandwich with veges and ezekiel bread, which isnt 100% raw but its close. Have an awesome day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Independence day to us in the USA and to Canada whose day was last week! -
Yes that's kind if what it's like. I have been sleeping on my side for about a week so I am going to try and stop and see if it's gets better. I may end up just calling my doctor to double check. I am such a worry wort and always dwell on the worst possible outcome!

D1NOnlySexyLady replied to mandy 92281's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't sound so discourage. Think about how big that is, and how if you weren't sleeve and lost all that weight in two weeks you'd be jumping up for joy -
Port Pain Normal Vs. Abnormal
Buffalogyrl replied to pbmls223's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I m 3 weeks post today. I saw my Dr yesterday because of port pain. He reminded me that my port is attached to my muscle and I appear to be a little more sensitive than others. He acknowledged that the area is inflamed but no sign of infection and told me that I could take children's liquid motion o get the inflammation down, stressing to take it with food. I went home took my my yummy grape flavored Motrin and iced my belly and I definitely feel better today. I do wonder if I will always feel my port, I hope not. -
Your interpretation of a perfect LapBand eating day
MrsShannonDennis replied to LapNYC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thats no where near enough for food me. I dont eat 3 meals a day. I eat prob about 6 times a day, small "meals". I wouldnt even call them a meal cause they are too small. Your meal looks good, I would just make sure you are adding some healthy fats in there: olive oil, avocado, cheese, etc. You need these things. I also dont see too much dairy which isnt a biggy, but its something I make sure I get plenty of :thumbup: -
It's not just about being fat. I'm so sorry about your marriage.. Whatever happens, lonely and HEALTHY is so much better than lonely and unhealthy, every day of the week. Take care of yourself, value yourself, and whatever else happens, you'll be in a better place than if you don't.

No Liquids Stage Post-Op?
2muchfun replied to This Girl Is Losing It's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That is unusual. Most docs require a few days of Clear Liquids and then 3-14 days of liquids followed by mushies. My doc required 4 days liquids(never clear), then 4 days of mushies. Better double check those orders? tmf -

How Long To Digest?
DLCoggin replied to TryingtobeSuperwoman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Usually about 2-3 hours for me as well but I think it often depends on how far out you are. When did you have your surgery? -
Hi...my husband and I had our sleeve surgery on 3/14...I have no problem eating foods and he cannot keep anything down...the only difference is he had a hernia repaired. Are there any others out there that had a hernia that were unable to eat and now things are better? He is very concerned that he has ruined his chances of living a normal enjoyable life since he is sick after every meal...any words of hope or encouragement from those a bit further along in this journey?

It seems like half of the time I eat, I end up vomiting. I have a horrible gurgling like feeling whenever I eat or drink. It seems like I have a lot of pain in the esophageal area after I eat also. Any suggestions? I am so frustrated. I am 5 and 1/2 weeks post-op. I had hoped that things would be easier than this!

Type 1 Diabetic and Sleeve
Healthy_life2 replied to readyforitnow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@readyforitnow I'm so excited for you. I was also nervous about being a type one diabetic and having sleeve surgery. I'm 3 months and 18 days out. My A1C is now a 5.9 (my Dr is amazed) I use very little insulin and some days no insulin. I have had a few lows. I drink a small shot of orange juice diluted with Water. It brings my blood sugar back up. I have to be careful not to miss meals. I also eat a small amount before I work out and after I get back from the gym. Your diabetic Dr. will help you through the process. Each of us experience all of the changes from surgery differently. For my health it has been the best thing ever. Wishing you well on you're journey Jenn -
Liquid Diet Is Killing Me
wildrose1966 replied to shaunamswenson's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every doctor gives different instructions. You have stitches on the inside and when you eat your stomach constricts to help push food along. liquid diets minimize this movement and gives your stomach and stitches more time to heal. (at 1 week post op I asked my dr's about exercise and I was told that I didn't want to 'pop a stitch' was said.......yikes, pop a stitch). Perhaps you can call your dr's office and talk to them. I was told to put cottage cheese in my cream Soups and blend them, extra Protein that keeps you full longer. Try to get more protein in to control the hunger. As with instructions, everyone seems to have their port in different locations. Usually it is under your largest incision. Mine is about 2 inches above my bellybutton, to the right a wee bit. -
Thanks for all the wonderful advice. I only drank cranberry juice because its on the list of liquids allowed in the first week. Plus I figure putting some calories in my stomach would help with the growling. Also I feel very nauseous when my stomach is growling. My mouth starts to fill with saliva and I know I will throw up unless I put something in my stomach. I get the whole head hunger concept but these hunger pains feel like physical pain! I can't even imagine another week and a half on liquids only. I truly feel miserable! However reading posts on the LBT site helps because I know others are going through the same thing. (Misery loves company!)

Thanks for all the encouragement and support! I still hate the hunger feeling but the support here makes me feel better. I usually drink the Protein shake in small sips over a 15-20 min period. I thought that was reasonable, but I am going to try to space out the ounces every hour. Sounds like it could work. Also, my bowel movements are fine. 2 yesterday and 2 today already. I keep telling my husband I can't believe I am even going because I haven't eaten any food! Lol I also have gone on small walks everyday around my neighborhood. I have a 3 yr old and a 10 month old so I take them for walks in their wagon at least twice a day.

Days where you're insatiably hungry?
AmandaWho posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Anyone have these? I don't often, maybe have had 2 or 3 in a month and a half but today I'm constantly hungry! Only eating protein still, should be allowed veggies starting tomorrow at my appointment 🤞🏻🤞🏻. I don't know what's going on! I eat and wait the half hour to drink and then wait another half hour to eat again! Suggestions? -
I couldn't wear a bra for a couple of weeks after surgery (incision was under the band), so if you're going back to work, I'd pick up some snug tank tops to wear under other shirts to tame the "girls"!
