1 week away from changing my life
TheWeightisOvr replied to wendyrlandry's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Congratulations on your surgery date! You’ve been through so much so I know you are super duper excited. Im still on fluids I had sleeve surgery a week ago. I do like the Isopure Infusions, you can add as little or as much as you like, and I also like the Isopure zero carb zero sugar clear protein(that one is a bit pricey) but you get 32 grams in one bottle. I get them as Vitamin shoppe -
You have lost 85 pounds since surgery, congratulations. You may just be in a stall. I believe they typically last a week or two but have heard many people on here have them last three weeks or even a month. If you are sticking to your plan 100% it is just a stall and it will lift soon. If you are winging it you may want to start logging your calories and measuring things again just so you have that info to give to your nutritionist when you speak with them if the stall does not break soon.

Just checking in to see who is around...been about a month since I stopped by but I've spent the last several weeks getting a lot of 'stuff' done in my life so online presence has been minimal! Hope everyone is good, I just ordered some new proteins to try and help me get to the finish line that I'm still struggling to reach.

your 6 months out and your sidebar says you started at 477lb and lost 162lb and are currently at 315. That is amazing for only 6 months. Keep it going. home scales are not always accurate and many people end up in a stall where they wont loose any weight for a little while. Thats normal.

March 2022 Surgery Buddies
cgp1204 replied to LilaNicole20's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
March 1 here - one week out and doing well after a rough few days of liquid diet (which I’d done two weeks prior to surgery so I was starving). Knock on wood, no bad side effects. -
Post-op Diet: First Few Weeks
xxaprilrose replied to cgp1204's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
new here.. I just had my surgery on Thurs so 5 days ago for me as well.... I wonder why everyones plan is different too. I was sent home with a list for week 1, 2, 3-4, 5-6, and week 7. Right now with week one its just the liquid diet but on friday I can start week 2 which includes mashed potatoes, yogurt, plain oatmeal, unsweetened applesauce and cottage cheese. Personally I dont like anything on the list except for mashed potatoes but man can I not wait until Friday for them! I had the gastric bypass rather than the sleeve so I wonder if thats the difference? I have no idea but I am curious why it varies so much. -

Aha!! well, yes I read so many of those this week, thanks, I found this website after my surgery so I have a lot to catch up. The newest thing I discovered is "foamies" 🤧 -
Feeling kind of devastated…
catwoman7 replied to Writergirl's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I had my plastic surgeries (body ones, anyway - I had my face done later) three and four years ago. Things change as time goes on - my breasts, especially, look different than they did right after surgery. They dropped and look a lot more natural now. I was shocked after surgery - but now they look great and I'm so glad I did this. you need to give it a lot more time because they're going to look a lot different six months from now than they do now. If you're still unhappy with them at that point, they can do implants. But you may be surprised and turn out to be really happy with them... (P.S. of course, your thighs won't change since there was no surgery on them. I never had mine done because mine were never that bad, but still, they have a little hanging skin on them whereas I don't have that anywhere else - so I suppose it looks weird - but I'm in my 60s so my mini skirt and short shorts days are long behind me. If it mattered, I'd have those done, too. -
I co-led one of the pre-op classes at my clinic for three years (i.e., before COVID hit), and my co-leader ( another WLS patient) swore by this thing...

Guest replied to MeganMyers's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think someone did the maths - there's 3,200 posts about it or so It's entirely normal. Mine was in week 3, from around day 15-18 after surgery. -

There are a lot of sources that talk about a "3 week stall" that describes a temporary (maybe 1-4 weeks) halt in weight loss right around this time-- don't worry, it's normal! I've read that it's the body reacting and adjusting to the change (and making sure it's not starving). Some people say they have a big drop right after the stall ends and that they have other signs of 'progress' during this time. It might be a good decision to weigh yourself less frequently, like once a week or so, so that you don't agonize too much over the micro-ups/downs. I personally hit this stall for about a week, quickly lost another 7 lbs and then hovered there for another couple of weeks. Keep doing what you are doing, you are totally on the right track! -
Sidebars - can BP help nudge users to fill in their info?
Guest posted a topic in Website Assistance & Suggestions
It seems like more and more new users forget to use the sidebar with surgery info and progress. While it's obviously anyone's choice to keep the information private, it makes it so much easier to help with questions when you have an idea of where people are in their journey. I'm wondering if it's simply because more users are mobile-only? Maybe they don't see the sidebars (I use BP on desktop only)? Maybe they don't even know it's there? It's especially helpful when someone asks about nutrition, complications, phase-specific worries and stalls to understand right off the bat where they are in their journey. There's a world of difference between stalls happening for a BMI52 duodenal switch patient who had surgery 7 weeks ago and lost 10 lbs total and then a sleever who's a year out at BMI24. It's getting harder and harder to tell as fewer and fewer new users use the sidebar. Maybe we the site could help nudge people to fill in the info? -
Why am I craving this particular food? (Food mention trigger warning)
Guest replied to PuraVida37's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh yeah. From week 5 I think it was. There was some language in there, now I want to look it up in the lil binder I got from the hospital ... ... awww, that was a welcome revisit to a little book I used a LOT. It actually feels like a hundred years ago now. I forgot how they even have 3 different plans you can choose from for the weeks after surgery to make sure patients find a path through it (looking at you, endless pre-mixed shakes that I hated). And meat starts 14 days after surgery, I was looking forward to that! Anyway, it's just on the plan from Day 21 and forward to satisfy sweet cravings as "a little diet soda". So nothing particular about it. --- I don't drink a ton of it. It's just not that interesting anymore, to be honest. But there's nothing I can't have, and that's kinda important to me because otherwise, we're back to living in black-and-white as so many people battling obesity and eating disorders do. -

You will be fine at 3 weeks out. Nicotine is out of your blood rather quickly. Usually they test for cotinine. It’s out of your blood by the 10th day. I would not smoke or use any nicotine products while healing. You don’t want to hinder that process. I wouldn’t worry. Good luck :) -
April 2022 Surgery Buddies
Rara0323 replied to Crinkles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For sure! Do you have to do a liquid diet 2 weeks before? -
Your tummy is still healing & the sensitivity, intolerance to certain foods on certain days will continue for a while. Treat it gently. Eating a little less one day won’t harm. I still have days I can’t eat everything on my plate at a meal or something I eat regularly doesn’t seem to sit as well & I’m almost three years out. This morning I ate left over rolled oats from my breakfast yesterday (added some fresh to get to about my usual portion). It all balances out across the week. If I’m a bit low on my protein today, I’ll have a little more tomorrow. Same with fluids. Listen to your body. It’s a good habit to start now about your eating. You’ll discover your real hunger signals, your I’ve had enough signals, what you need versus what you want, etc. All the best.

November Surgery Buddies!!!
Lanitele replied to Tristenhilpert97's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello everyone! Happy to see that you are doing well! My surgery was on November 24, I lost 57 lb, which is 70% of my weight loss goal. Felling great, no issues at all. I had couple stalls, the last one was almost three weeks long. Last week I noticed that I can eat bigger portions of solid foods without feeling restrictions. Do you guys feel less restrictions too? How much of solid food can you eat at once, like one cup or less? -

Anyone have a blood test for the nicotine clearance? I have never heard of it. I’m nervous since I socially smoked 3 weeks ago. I was a smoker when I started this process and I wasn’t a heavy smoker anyhow. has anyone ran into issues 3 weeks or less getting a negative result? -
So happy to report I finally got some Bowel relief. The Colace, Miralax, and fluids were definitely a factor but what really made it come along was using my squatty potty. I forgot I had one because pre surgery it wasn’t that helpful but I guess post surgery it will be now. Lol 😂 💩 I never thought I would get so excited about a BM I was always regular. Sleeve was 2/28, exactly a week ago. https://www.squattypotty.com/

6 weeks out and am happy as a clam I did this. Down almost 50lbs. 4 weeks post op was a huge goal of being able to eat fish. The shakes soups and yogurts were starting to get to me. Now 6 weeks out I’m still not hungry and eat 3-5 is of solid food chix, fish, chopped meat Turkey , sausage, beef!!!shrimp is actually the easiest for me. So good luck and follow your plan. Also walking and weights 5-6x a week. -

What do you do when you get sick?
oldandtired replied to berryboo97's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am 8 weeks post op and I get nauseous almost every day. Don't worry there are a bunch of meds that the doctor can prescribe you. Don't want to take meds? That's fine, but that queasy feeling is a stressor on you. Get them, and keep them handy. Otherwise? For me it was cheese crackers. One at a time very slowly...it may have been the salt in them. -
I'm down about 80lbs. I've been stuck since the end of December though and I'd really like to lose another 20. Especially because I'd really like to try for another child in a few months so I'd like to get to my lowest before I risk gaining any with pregnancy. I finally made an appointment with my dietician for later this week so maybe he can help me get things moving again. I'm working on exercising more but with that comes an increased appetite so it's a hard balance.
