Looking For Realistic Opinion On Time Off
rtboys replied to BoBann's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm a nurse tho I don't work in a hospital anymore. I do Home Health and spend my days driving from pt to pt doing dressing changes, labs, teaching, etc. It will be 3 weeks for me on Tues and from the way I feel, there is no way I can go back to work soon. I had a fantastic first week and then went downhill from there. I have not had 2 good days in a row yet and never know what the day will bring. Fortunately, I took a month off so hopefully I will feel better by then. Today I am battling constipation and had to take an enema. (sorry if tmi). Yesterday was great until last night when I had the vomits. I know it will get better that's why I keep reading the success stories on this board. This too shall pass. Sent from my iPad using VST -
I really want to run, but I cannot find any clothing that prevents (TMI and ewww coming - just warning you) my apron from clapping. I am really suprised because it is large, but not overly so. The problem is, if it claps, it chafes - and I am in HumidHell--I mean Houston Any suggestions? I really want to get back to running. Very happy for your success! Yayyy!

At What Weight Limit Did You Say "you Have Had Enough"?
enigmachik replied to Gonnabeslim1day's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
For me it was less about the number and more about how things suddenly started getting really hard to do. I was having trouble tying my shoes, bending down to pick up dropped items, and even..uh..having trouble wiping myself thoroughly. lol. TMI, I know, but that was the big one. That was when I knew I had to make a serious change asap!- 156 replies

December 2012 Post Op Group
thisshizzisbananas replied to Simplysouthern26's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Uhhh!! If I smelled pizza...I might spontaneously combust! Lol. No, but honestly I ate 2 bites of cottage cheese the other day too fast and it was sooo painful!! Then I threw up, well, just wretched and spit (tmi and gross, I know) about 10 times and so other people's food is not appealing to me at all since that happened! I'm terrified it will happen again! But once I get over the fear...who knows? -
Pam – In the pre-op classes for the post-op meal plan they taught both measuring by weight and by size (cups) for band patients. My binder has it done both ways for band patients, not sure why but some food is measured by weight and other stuff is measured by size. For Sleeve they make sure it is all measured by size only. I had my first real what you guys call PB’ing today. I was so tired of Purees I decided to have a very small amount of Boston Market Chicken and mashed potatoes. I really had just a small amount, about 1/3 cup of food total. It will take me a week to finish the one plate I bought. Well everything went down ok and I was pleased as I’ve had some thick soups that went down and I felt pressure of such a small stomach. I had about 1/3 cup of white meat chicken, mashed potatoes and corn bread. All of it fit into a 1/3 cup. I chewed it very well. About ten minutes later I was salivating over the sink for ten minutes. I burped a couple times which made me feel better so I went to sit down. Bad move because a few minutes later I ran for the sink and everything I ate came back up. Sorry for the TMI. What was so different was it was such a slow regurgitation. I was a bit scared. I’m only a couple days away from moving to soft foods so I hope this gets better as it was not fun! I guess this is what I get for moving ahead a couple days early. Going to talk to the doc next week about the incident. Sleeve patients are supposed to be able to eventually eat about a cup of food in one sitting. I hope everyone if having a wonderful weekend! Looking forward to hearing about the wedding!

Lee - Are you taking the Protonix for acid reflux? I used it years ago for a short time and it worked great. They brought me 100 pills bedside right before discharge. Must have scared everyone away with my TMI. Hey it’s about time the thread have some guy TMI. :redface:
-
I hope your right Monique lol. I'll tell you what, the food was damn good, but not worth 9 lbs LOL...I am sure it's just everything sitting. TMI But I am backed up BAD when I diet....WTH? Have fun tomorrow ladies, I guess your going to a meeting?

Took a few days for me to go to the bathroom..........TMI but you asked. The port will hurt for awhile. Mine was still swollen at 6 weeks. But eventually it goes down and the pain fades out. I can still feel the port but it doesn't bug me unless I move wrong than it sorta hurts until I move again.....but even though I thought it would never stop hurting ......one day I just realized it doesn't bother me anymore..............
-
Sherri.............That is ALOT of weight!!! I know your miserable but it almost makes it worth is I would think??? That is GREAT!! Hope your feeling better soon.......... I am banded and I still throw up sometimes. Sometimes cause I eat to much and sometimes things just don't settle right.............if I eat to much sugar I get the runs (TMI I Know) just about everytime...........sorta like band dumping I guess. But the further out I get the more my stomach is settling and not getting so upset about things............well fills and unfills cause it to flare its temper but foods no so much anymore. It gets better............

Oh, I forget - I had my Robin appt today and I move to Stage IV on Wed. Can't wait to be able to chew something! Also, in the spirit of TMI - I've lost 4 inches off my bra size (actually skipped a size) - but my hubby is happy since my cup size is the same! -
Hi Chrissy – That is good to hear. That’s what my doc said too. It’s just when you’re bent over hacking up saliva and sometimes food you think should it be happening this often… Good luck on your one month challenge! Some people only have to lose about 10 pounds so don’t kill yourself trying to beat it. Some of us could lose that in one sitting. Ok TMI.

OMG Tina, I think you SO need to be a foster mom! Put some prayer into this one - sounds like you are already feeling some peace about it - the right thing will happen :-) I'm not talking about a 2-lb. gain here, I am talking about 6+ LBS!!! Way too much too be just water - I think. Although I did just pee for the 6th time this morning, TMI and LOL at the same time - so a lot of it is water and a lot of it is fatty liver from my carb-fest that started in oregon over a week ago, but some of it is also the fact that I am still doing what worked for me 80 lbs. ago, and my body is much much smaller and I need to do different stuff (like eat less, and change my exercise, and add in weights . . . ) now to keep moving forward. One thing that I CAN say is that since I have gained this, I do feel my band now! It will not let me gain back past a certain amount, and I am SO grateful for that! And also my clothes are not any tighter, and people keep commenting that I am still losing . . . so I am trying not to get disouraged and just pour in the water (already on 50+ this morning, hence the TMI above!) and walk a lot more! I did 11 miles yesterday and only 800 calories and still somehow managed to gain - probably because I have 4 servings of super-salty soup, calories count said I was over 5000 mg of sodium yesterday and if any of that had iodone in it, that is what the gain is from - I am allergic and swell like heck. But anyways!!!

COCO: I had GERD and terrible reflux before surgery. None since. A couple days of reflux when the band was to tight but honestly the band totally cured my GERD and I had it really, really bad pre band. John you fit right in now I don't feel so bad about all my TMI posts. LOL. Did well today until I had ice cream with MIchaela. Ah geez gotta start over and I was having such a great day before that...............

Nicole - that happens to me all the time that's why I hate eating breakfast! Liz said it's because you are jump starting your metabolism. Chris - good to know but you'll have to remind me of that when my time comes for fills - LOL Ok, so my boss just said to me that he's just sick of himself and wants to join a mens group - I told him that's TMI for me and that is something he needs to discuss with his wife. Crazy man! -
MOrning ladies....... Waiting for Jury duty!! Well I think I had an episode that came very close to dumping last night. Lap band dumping which I didn't think existed. Someone told me it did at the last group meeting. All over ice cream. I haven't had ice cream, or more than a couple bites in over 15 weeks. I went to rite aid and got two scoops. I don't know why except I was having problems eating this weekend and I figured the ice cream would be a nice treat and would stay down. I was up until 3am with the worse cramps and the runs!! It was very painful and the only thing I can think is that darn ice cream...............I thought I was gonna explode!! TMI I know, I know............ My system cannot handle alot of things anymore. But serious ice cream I would have never guess................not even tempted now. Scared me a bit. So I am also back to following the rules 100% this week!! LOL.

Liz- I feel for you on the PMSing! My Dr. put me on this new BC that is the absolute lowest hormonal BC pill out there and I was on the you know what for 2 weeks, I know TMI but I was SOOOO grumpy the whole time! I could kill her LOL! Nicollie- This Saturday? Where? Tamra- If you remind me I will be there! Hope everyone is doing good! Kinda slow today huh? PS.....2.5 more days and till I have orrientation at Fremont Kaiser!!!!!!!!!!

Pic attached! OK I wish......... One of the side effects of dieting and/or weight loss surgery is being constipated. Taking Benefiber or Metamucil helps you be regular. I was constipated on the 1200 calorie plan and now again on stage IV. Since Sleeved I will never be able to have heavy large meals and will more than likely have to take a fiber supplement for the rest of my life. More TMI but now I find myself only going to the bathroom (#2) about once a week. I try to weigh myself after that event to ensure some accuracy... The Richmond program recommends and regularly talks about Benefiber but I spoke to Doc Who and he said the Benefiber recommendation / requirement is only for RNY patients and that Band and Sleeve patients can take either.

Girl you are not whiny you just had major surgery!! I will tell you I had it right under my left rips and I felt like I was a ballon about to pop for almost two weeks. It hurt so bad I was almost in tears at times............gasx and vicodan only dulled the pain but it hurt 24/7 for awhile. I think your shoulders must be gas too............. I hated to walk because it hurt so bad but when I walked I would belch and fart away (TMI I KNOW, I KNOW) and it would be instant relief!! But I seriosly paced my backyard for about 15 minutes at a time than had to sit down because it hurt so bad!! It took alot of walking to work it all out.....another think I did was pull my knees to my chest and just hold it like that for awhile to push the air out that worked too but so glad no one else was home at the time........LOL. All of a sudden I woke up one day and it was totally gone. I know for the first two weeks every time I eat the gas got worse.........and seriously though it was gonna push up through my chest it hurt so badly..............somehow I survived it one day, one hour at time. But OMG it hurt........... Walk and Gasx my friend!! And contort your body into strange positions to push it out!! I won't tell!! LOL
-
Well my intestines finally woke up! Yeah. Liquids in, liquids out. Ugh. Sorry for the TMI.

hi girlfriends! I've been reading but just no time to respond - or I have someone looking over my shoulder. I have to agree with all of you about one day feeling like you have it together and the next you feel fat again. Somedays I feel like one hot mama and the next I hate my body, I hate my clothes and feel like I'm eating too much. Today is a good day - Hubbster helps, he came home last night, he's been working away, he cuddled up and said let me hold my little skinny woman I've missed her. I'll probably keep him around another 28 years. Believe it or not but sex can still be great after all these years! LOL ok tmi! I am beginning to think I need a fill - I had cancelled my last one because I got sick. I am learning some foods I can't even TRY - rice being number one on the list. Last night I ate steak, I threw up the last couple bites, then I felt fine. So its kinda confusing - do I have enough restriction or not. Unlike you Maurdan, I've had 5 fills already. (btw I don't get notified bc I don't want to, like Nat this is the only thread I follow) Bman - sounds like you've made a new friend, if its meant to be it'll happen, otherwise just enjoy the friendship. My oldest dd is coming home today with her bf, theres trouble in paradise. She said she doesn't think they'll stay together - she just spent the week at his family's home. She said they are too different and will fill me in when she gets here. Sometimes I miss my kids so much my heart hurts. But she'll be here today so I'm happy. Youngest dd and bf will be here and my son and dil are coming over tonight too so I'll have all of them for a few hours, we're going to do a bonfire and mountian pies, smores all the fun stuff. Its been so quiet and weird with dh working away and dd is always busy or with her bf so I'm alone alot, I tend to get excited to have my kids all home. I hope you all have a great weekend, I have a couple picnics to go to. I made potato salad and pasta salad last night, I'm making a crab salad for Sunday and jello cake - too much food! Good thing the band keeps me from overeating!

For TMI purposes if your urine looks like this. Tell your doctor. mine was almost brown.

PEOPLE WHO ONLY DID 3 day liquid pre op diet
rollargirl replied to rollargirl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
TMI!! Lol ... -
Question. Yesterday I was constipated TMI, that's fixed but today I have been having the worst pain in my pouch feels like someone is trying to turn it inside out or something. Tried to eat one thing today and was ok but also nauseous and burping a lot. What's the deal? Tomorrow is my first day back at work and it's a 12hr shift and I'm the only pharmacist there. This is the worst I've felt since surgery...any thoughts??? Help?
