Gastric Bypass - Week 2 Post Op
mousecat88 replied to irol888's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Check out the BariatricPal store. TONS of foods on there quick to make for the puree stage, including soups. They are all pre-portioned and the right carbs/fat/cals. I had Campbell's condensed cream of chicken 2 weeks out and GOT SO SICK. I had the cream of broccoli at 3 weeks, and got mildly sick. Most people say it's fine for them. -
Have to Share for Those Frustrated with Stall
esskay77 replied to Susanjoyce392's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Glad I read this. I have been on quite the lengthy stall. I have gotten into the habit of having some multigrain crackers with peanut butter on them with my meals. I didn't think it would be a big deal but I think that has been part of my problem!! THanks @Ready28 for that bit of info! I have really started to slip into some bad habits. As of yesterday, I believe I am back on track!! Had my one year check up and met with the new NUT. the new NUT was awesome! The last 2 were very nice but all they really said was that I was doing great, keep up the good work. Not very helpful. THis guy is no-nonsense and actually provided good information! Love that. -
Two weeks post-op, with no problems... Can I now eat mushies?
La_madam replied to Pianoman's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I do agreee with Alex that 4 weeks of liquids is a long time but I also agree with herfor you to cal lyour Dr. to see if you are able to start mush earlier. Every Dr. has his or her reason for their post op instructions and every Dr. has a different post op diet. -
wt: 240 Since my surgery and last fill I have definitely experienced a lot of restriction. Salmon the other night I thought was going to kill me. Today almost everything I ate bothered me. I'm pretty sure I'm a little too tight. I'm hoping though that my stomach is just irritated and from the salmon and more sensitive. I'm going to do just liquids and soft foods tomorrow. I have a post-op appt. on the 25th. If things aren't better by then I'll have him take some fluid out. I started a 7 day cleanse today. It's supposed to be all natural and not too harsh. I've never done one and am terrified I will end up with the sh*ts at work. I just started the job last week. It would be a great impression on all the office gals. Both my husband and I are doing the cleanse. We have slowly been switching our diet to a healthier one. First we quit buying anything with enriched flour or hydrogenated anything. Now we are buying primarily organic. It is so expensive. I paid $6.89 for two (granted they were huge) red peppers. I about passed out. I haven't switched to organic meat yet. Our beef already is (we raise it ourselves). Boise is supposed to be getting a Whole Foods soon. I'm looking forward to that. Until next time.

Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor surgery June 23rd!!!
kkarryall replied to patsyo61's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi Fiona---yes I will answer any questions you have!! The sweet spot is just something you know when you get there...for me I get full after eating a very small amount---maybe 1/2 cup. I cannot overeat anymore---it is even hard for me to overeat icecream!! Not that I eat a lot of tha tthese days...but as an occasional treat. IN the first few months of my surgery I could eat anything, sandwiches, Cookies, etc. I really had to diet a lot and really watch my calories. Now, I still watch what I eat, but I don't worry too much if I eat something a little unhealthy because I can only eat a little. With each fill I was a little more restricted--but it was n't until the 5th fill that I really felt restriction and then the 6th fill was my sweet spot. If you are filled too much you may not be able to keep any foods or liquids down. You may throw up a lot, etc. I do throw up sometimes, but I just have to be very consious of my eating. Hi Gettinginshape! Congrats on the weight loss thus far. I love Dr. Fielding. I go to the dinners he puts on every couple of months--so much fun!! I do exercise. I go to the gym 4-5 days per week for 1 1/2 hours each day. I do about 40 mins cardi o and then strength training. I still don't love it but I do it anyway. I started exercising about 6 months after banding. I just wasn't motivated before then. Good luck to everyone! -
I agree with the previous responses, it's time to get back to basics. Do a week of shakes and 1 no carb meal each day to get all the crap out of your system. Set several small goals and reward yourself when you achieve them. Make activity a family affair, the weather is getting better, go explore a local park or state recreation area with the kids on the weekend. Keep a cooler with high Protein Snacks in your car. They make coolers that plug into your car. #1 YOU have to decide you have had enough which I believe is why you posted. Forgive yourself and move forward! Tomorrow is a new day, use the tools you have!

first good day since i got banded and lost 7 pounds
gigiswords commented on gigiswords's blog entry in Blog 34186
I got banded on Monday and today was the first good day I have had so far. I woke up very tired as always and felt very weak. Until my mom came home made me some black bean soup and it worked wonders. Wow, by 6pm I went for a walk with my soon to be husband and stayed up all day and watch TV with my whole family. When I was growing up whenever I got sick and felt tired my mom always made me bean soup. It’s nice to see an old Caribbean favorite can still work wonders. For the first time since Monday I feel like my stomach is working. I honestly never new I could burp so loud, its very un-lady like but thank God for the great relief it provided. I am starting to like this band thing I lost 7 pounds since Monday, making it 30 pounds since I started this whole thing. I am so excited about the weeks to come. I finally see light at the end of the tunnel. For a brief moment well, for about 3 days after the surgery I asked myself many times “what the hell did I do to myself”. I am starting to see that I am getting stronger and I can’t wait until 2 weeks from now when I will probably be my old self again. And to all of you embarking on this journey good luck, its not easy but its worth it:thumbup: -
Trying to find the sweet spot at 5+ months out - Help?
Fixerupper replied to discoveringme's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I am also five months out. I have always had a 2-3 pound bounce and then back further down. My capacity has increased a lot! I have been stalled for almost three weeks until 2 days ago. I ate 1200 calories for 2 day and lost three pounds. I have no idea why! I'll take it but it is very confusing sometimes. -
2 and 1/2 months out
sctty_MO replied to Jami Koehling's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you getting in your daily liquid intake? I stall ever time I have a hard time getting to proper amount of fluids. Stalls came when I was reincorporating food and fluids fell to way side. Only other advice I can give is walk regularly and take your Vitamins. It really helps! Good luck on your weight loss. Hope this helps even a little bit. -
Questions for longtime sleevers
Autumn-KP replied to Autumn-KP's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I took the advice you guys gave me and put it to work these past few weeks, and it really helped me! So here's an update to my issues. I talked to my doctor about the heartburn and he increased my dosage of PPI and I'm doing good now! All of you were on point about pacing my meals, and making more time for myself to eat. I've gotten in the habit of finishing projects/homework, ASAP instead of spreading it out throughout the week and I've gotten a lot of extra time for myself as a reasult. My meals take around 30 - 40 minutes and sometimes I make multiple trips to the microwave to heat my food back up but I've been feeling a lot better these past few weeks. Bufflehead that app idea was amazing, thank you for that. Livvsmum, thanks for the peace of mind. It was really weird to suddenly go from loving chicken thighs, to getting really sick over them. I thought there was something maybe seriously wrong with me, and it got me really anxious. I'm relived to hear it's not just me and others have gone through similar things following the surgery. Anyways, thanks for all the tips, and advice. I truly appreciate it. -
Hi Pris, I'm very new to this but have already been having quorn, a meat substitute which is purely protein. Here we can buy this from the regular supermarket from the freezers. I know I will be eating it when I get to chew in a few weeks, oh my teeth and brain can't wait hehe. I'm sure you can find something similar that would suit your taste, good luck Louise

DON'T I HAVE TO BE IN MY 5 WEEKS FOR THIS STUFF? NOT SURE THANK YOU, PRIS.

I was banded on Monday 09/14/09. I am trying to get use to the broth and protein shakes. I know I can do this. good luck to you. How much weight have you lost in two weeks
-
okay... so i got the band 2 weeks ago and i'm on my way... why am i in SUCH a hurry to take it all off... clothes too?! :tongue_smilie: I just dont want to be embarrassed at the sight!!

Don't turn back, in the long run you won't regret it! I questioned myself too, I was laying on the operating table, and I kept saying to myself "what are you doing?!?" And after when it was all done, I still said to myself "what did you do?!?" But now, 7 weeks out, I have no regrets whatsoever! I'm eating less, have absolutely no pain, and i feel GREAT about myself! I want to shout from the rooftop I LOST OVER 20 LBS!! And the best part is knowing more weight will come off. You're lucky, you have support, I had told NO ONE, not the husband, kids, family, friends...It was a personal thing i was going through, i did it for ME and didn't want anyone saying it was a bad idea. And i would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Keep us posted!

Did The Preop Diet Make You Feel Like A Bear?!?
kimmr replied to SkinnyMom2b's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on day 5 of my pre-op, surgery is in 4 days. I've been super duper tired. And weak. I worked this week, but I have a desk job, so it was ok. I always saved my last Protein shake of the day until I got home. Walking the 6 block to my car just wiped me out. Then driving, my arms just felt so stinkin heavy. My husband has been great, he would take care of the kids and get them supper while I laid down for half an hour every day after work. Last night, though, he was really tired, so I gave the kids their baths. I was totally dead after that. Just so weak. -
I dunno, Sherry---that's almost 1.5 pounds a week. That's not a turtle's pace; it's the expected rate! You're doing a great job :smile2:
-
I have a date...though not fully insurance approved, my surgeon is moving forward with plans to sleeve me on May 22. I'd love to have a few partners to corresponds with as I start the two week pre op journey...and of course the post op haul. I think sharing stories, encouragement and a simple reassurance of me not being crazy when things happen will be nice.

looking for a buddy, near my age 26, with a surgery date in april
bekah7482 replied to kk429's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey! How exciting!! I am hoping to get an April date too. My program is backed up and the soonest psych eval I could get was 3/24. After that they said 4-6 weeks until surgery. I am hoping someone cancels their appointment so I can get in sooner. -
March 30, 2009 189.8 lbs. This morning I weighed and was happy to discover that I am continuing to lose weight. I really feel like I am at the "sweet spot" that everyone refers to. I am trying desperately to meet my three goals. 1. 10,000 steps...this morning I walked three laps (over two miles) instead of my usual two laps around our subdivsion. 2. I am working on my water intake. 3. I am eating my protein first and decreasing carbs. For breakfast, I had a shake and for lunch I had grilled catfish. So...I am on my way!

You will be surprised at what weight training will do for fat loss. I say try incorporating light weight training 3x/week

I'm 15 days post from my bypass , I'm aware that I haven't been getting too much protein intake not water or eating the way am suppose to... It's because in never hungry or thirsty ... But now I have a problem and would like someone's help on addressing it. Every time I get up from my bed or even a chair I get extremely dizzy to the point where I think I'm going to pass out ... I don't know if I should go to the ER or wait too see my PCP again in 6 weeks...

Six Weeks Post Op- Stalled 2 Weeks :(
kimmy*custis replied to randalljohn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am too at a small stall, I am 14 1/2 weeks out and havent lost in 11 days. I had a stall earlier and changed up what I was eating, added a bit more calories and really concentrated on my water intake and lost 5 lbs the next week. Just some trial and error is all I can suggest, everyone is different. Good luck to you, let us know what you tried and what worked for you. -
Six Weeks Post Op- Stalled 2 Weeks :(
Calicolea replied to randalljohn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel your pain..... been in a stall for the last couple weeks myself. You are so right.......It is very discouraging. Remember you're not alone, lots of us new sleeves are in the same boat. Hang in there
