Had surgery on Monday and was discharged by noon on Tues. Tbh no cramping, no nausea, not horrid pain, and had a bm without taking anything for it. The only weird thing is my taste buds have changed. Sweet protein shakes make gag now or maybe it's the flavors I buy idk. I got some unjury protein powders in savory flavors like chicken soup and santa fe chili. I also got the unflavored to add strained soup. I have no cravings or hunger. If I sip too fast I burp or hiccup it up...not a fun feeling.

I am also not losing weight as fast as others but it is what it is. I just make sure I meet my protein and water goals and figured it will happen in its own time.

Feeling very defeated...not sure it was worth it now...

It's just the patty. No bun, none of the junk that usually goes on it. Just the patty with a little seasoning. And they are homemade patties, not fast food or anything. -
I’m still having a hard time getting all of my water in. Sometimes I drink too fast and feel like vomiting. Sometimes I feel like I have heartburn. I’ve been moved to the purée part, but I still feel like I can’t really eat anything other than thick soup or blended fish/chicken chunks. I feel like I’m not following the program well enough and I’m frustrated.

4 weeks out and feel sick everytime i eat

Not everyone progresses through the stages as fast. You may need to go back to the previous stage for a few days. -
4 weeks out and feel sick everytime i eat

I agree with @catwoman7. It's also possible you're eating too fast, not chewing enough, or taking bites that are too large. -
Oh no! I met the limit of my pouch two days ago eating too much ricotta bake too fast. I felt for a few minutes that I was going to vomit. That passed and I didn't. That sure does remind you and keep you in check.

My First Binge :(
Toesinthewater replied to SleeverSk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Unfortunately the binge slope is a very slippery one. Once you start, it can go down hill fast. I know from experience! So it's best not to start in the first place. I know it's hard to do because unfortunately WLS does NOT prevent returning to old habits. Don't beat yourself up. Bad days are going to happen. -

Day 4 of Liquid: Weak and Worried
liveaboard15 replied to doobie31's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No not really. depending on your surgeons schedule you will be able to eat soft foods in a few weeks after surgery. and tiny amounts fill you up fast. I was on solids after 2 weeks and it was glorious lol. Because the 2 weeks pre op liquid diet sucked and the post op liquid diet sucked because that point you really cant have any solids until a couple weeks or longer depending on your surgeon. but after the liquids it gets so much better. -

Maybe the burger patty, but not a burger patty on a bun and all that goes along with it. I guess is it a home made burger 🍔 or from Macca's or hungry jacks and the like because 1 burger from a fast food joint would be your calories for the whole day -

Technically yes but no... After we heal up sure we can eat pretty much anything but in smaller portions. But the whole idea is to eat healthier as well... the bad things that got us to this weight should be avoided for the most part like fast food and fatty items. -

I am about 7 weeks post op. I lost a lot of weight pre op and first 2 weeks. Since then i have slowed a lot. here are my measurements that i take on the 4th of every month. As you can see its not super fast. This process takes a while. -
multiple sclerosis and gastric sleeve
SleeveToBypass2023 replied to MSer07's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery went well. Haven't had any MS flares at all. Had a bit of a slow recovery because of the incision they removed the stomach from. That one really hurt for a while. Other than that, things went well and I didn't have complications. Don't really have any restriction, and my hunger definitely never went away. I lost a lot of weight really fast, and then hit a 2 week stall, and now the weight is coming off super slow. Like SLOOOOW. But this is a marathon, not a sprint. I'll get there in the end. -
Anyone Tried to Do the Pre-Op Liquid Diet Before Its Time?
RickM replied to I Am Enough!'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you even have to do one (many do not) and you are assuming by other posts that you do? Many programs that do them tend to wait until the last minute to tell their patients (for fear of scaring them off, understandably.) Some programs specifically don't want their patients doing any of those fasting diets, preferring that they concentrate on learning how to eat sensibly. If you do need to do one, then yes, playing with different protein shakes to find one that you like, or at least tolerate, is a good idea, but it's not worth going overboard on it. If liver shrinking/condition is their goal (it usually is) then simple low carb will do as well as anything - lean meats and green veg; the liquid aspect is pretty much irrelevant to that goal (and I have never understood why some insist on that, other than they don't have to do it themselves!) -
Pain is subsiding a little more each day. Walking definitely helps. Feeling up to taking a shower today. From surgery on Monday to today I've lost 5 pounds. Promised myself I wouldn't worry about how fast or slow the weight comes off as long as it comes off. So I'll keep strolling along. Sent from my SM-G981V using BariatricPal mobile app

This is true. That’s why therapy & understanding why you eat is a vital component of this process for many people. In the US a psychological assessment is part of the insurance approval process. In Australia, your surgeon recommends pre &/or post surgery therapy sessions. The surgery affords many benefits that dieting &/or exercising alone does. It resets your body set point (the weight your body naturally gravitates to), boosts your metabolism, removes part of the area that produces the hunger hormone (ghrelin) & can affect the glp1 hormone that regulates hunger & the metabolism of glucose. There are also of course physical changes that restricts how much food you can eat. You will have to change how & what you eat. (Many change when they eat too.) The surgery affords you the time to establish new habits, discover new foods & to work out what way of eating works best for you. I’ve tried many diets & I’m pig headed enough to stick to them for months without wavering but I’d always eventually go back to how & what I usually ate. I’ve never been able to maintain my weight like I can now. I made a decision to cut out a lot of sugar (real, artificial, substitutes) out of my diet. I don’t eat highly processed foods, avoid a lot of carbs & never have fast food. This has been what works for me. It may not work for you or complement your lifestyle. I didn’t record my food intake & still don’t. I do random checks of my calories & regularly check nutrients & ingredients. The only thing I watch carefully is my protein. Some people find tracking very helpful but it isn’t for everyone all the time. Though you may be required to do it for a while to ensure you’re getting in the nutrients you need. But you have to be ready to do this. As I said it’s not easy. It was harder than any other diet I’ve done.

Weight loss after revision

I am 3 weeks out and have lost 40 pounds so far. I can’t even believe how fast the weight is coming off. -
LapBand to Sleeve weight loss?
Jade Baines posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hi, I was banded in 2013, had it removed in 2017 due to a twist; gained most of my weight back so I just under went VSG and I'm wondering if any one has a similar experience? How fast did you lose? Any complications? Thanks Sent from my SM-A526W using BariatricPal mobile app -
I definitely feel restriction. I can't eat chicken even pureed. It's just easier to eat soft or pureed food. I did over eat on chicken and it was painful. I had to throw that up. Lesson learned. I try to remember to stop eating before I am full. It takes a bit for your brain to catch up to your stomach. I have always been a fast eater. So learning to slow down has been an issue.

I didn't feel any restriction at all during the soft/pureed food stages. As of Friday, though, I am on regular food. Boy can I feel the restriction now! I JUST had only my second experience with vomiting after a meal - I think I just ate my little bowl of food too fast and had a bite or two too much. Also, definitely follow the rules about stopping liquids 30 min before or after meals or you will get that over-full feeling!

I smoked since I was 16 except for a couple of stops. I'm 46 now I have switched to vaping a few times but switched completely before I got married in 2017 didn't want to smoke a cigarette on my wedding dress. When I started this journey I lowered the nic level until I was at 0. Then I stopped before surgery. And there are times I will look for it but go oh yeah I don't do that anymore and move on. I'm doing this to get healthy and don't want to go back to vaping it's been 8 months since I vaped and since I am going through sizes so fast I have money to get clothes I used to spend on vaping stuff.

Not losing Weight
SleeveToBypass2023 replied to audreywilson92's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It really is different for everyone. I lost a ton of weight really fast. Like 30 pounds in 2 weeks kind of fast. Then I had a stall for 2 weeks, and now I'm losing sloooooooow. Like really slow. I'm still losing, but now it's like 3-4 pounds a week. -
June surgeries? Tell me your preparations
Therese22 replied to Songbyrd420's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum but very excited. My surgery Day is fast approaching June 9, 2022. I have prepared so far sticking to my Pre-op diet of high protein, low carb (<40 grams total a day), continuing to work out with my trainer and by stocking up on chicken broth, water, protein (that I like currently and hope to like after) and cleaning my house just in case I may not feel up to it after surgery. : D -
3+ month post op and eating in the morning
ms.sss replied to fourmonthspreop's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
*raises hand* im one of those people who can’t/won’t eat until after noon. Both before and after surgery. pre-op, if i ate early im the day i would feel sluggish all morning…so i didn’t. post-op, I guess it was just a lifetime habit continuing, and i too became a natural intermittent faster because i also implemented not eating past 7-8pm to avoid any food regurgitation during sleep (it happened once in the early days and it was horrible enough for me to make sure it never happened again!) P.S. its not to say I NEVER eat before noon, but it is a very, very rare event. Its almost always just coffee for me until i have my first meal of the day. -
I didn't have problems with lettuce but the skin on grapes, apples, even cherries gave me the foamies in the beginning. I rarely get foamies now but if I eat anything without chewing it properly, I will still get them. I had ribeye recently, it was so good but I must've eaten too fast cause an hour later, my chest and throat hurt from pressure until I got rid of the excess saliva. I use a tongue cleaner and it makes me gag just enough to release the excess saliva.
