How many stalls have you had in your journey?
Tomo replied to DaisyAndSunshine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have lost count too. My body is really weird. I have "stalled" almost every month. It ranges from 10 days to 2 weeks. The longest for me so far is 15 days. Usually the first 2 weeks of the month, then I get a big drop. My 9th month now, and I just got the 4.5 lb drop at the end of April. Sent from my SM-S908U using BariatricPal mobile app -
I don't hit my one year until the end of the month. I keep wondering if I'm at where I'm going to land. I've been hovering around the same weight for about 6 weeks now. I have lost 77 lbs, started at 245, now around 168. (For context I'm 5'9", 49 y.o.) My highest adult weight was around 268..so in the grand scheme, I'm down 100 from my highest weight. I certainly have loose skin - and I have given consideration to getting my stomach and and arms done once things settle. I have still lost inches in the last couple months, so things are still changing. I am prefectly fine if this where I land. I have practically replaced my entire wardrobe, at this size 😂

Trying to eat more veggies- 3 months post op
fourmonthspreop posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hey! I'm 3 months post op from gastric bypass. I've been doing really well getting in my protein and vitamins everyday and the weight is coming off. I feel like however I don't eat nearly enough veggies as pre op and wish I could add more for overall health, wellness and gut health. Do you have any tips or tricks on incorporating more veggies into your meals? I can't really have raw vegetables or raw leafy greans but raw cucumber, raw fruit, raw shredded carrot, raw onion all seem to be fine in moderation. I absolutely HATE mushy cooked vegetables and mostly ate all my veggies raw before surgery (while doing pre op weight loss). Everytime I put cooked vegetables on my plate, I barely touch them because I find them so gross. Anyone have any dishes or tricks they can share on how to incorporate more vegetables? Thanks!

Today marks one year exactly for me since my surgery and while these last few pounds have been so hard Im only 5 lbs from goal. I can not believe that its only been a year. I started my journey approx a year and a half ago and truly didn't think I would be this close to goal already. I have had some slip ups, some stalls and have thrown up from overeating but I just get back on track and remind myself its not a race its not a competition its a life change

That is really pretty good for this stage of your post surgical diet. I find Tuna was always my best food to go down easily, stay down and have a ton of protein. I still eat tuna 4-5 times a week for lunch. I have always been a fan of tuna so it is not something I have grown tired of.

At 3 months, Probably 3-5 fluid ounces at a time (approx 1/2 cup). Lower end it it was meat, higher end if it was yogurt or something “looser”. Now this amount was about the volume to eat that would satisfy as well as not feel any discomfort.

Newly sleeved 4/28. Q’s for water
Sleeve_Me_Alone replied to Tashrenee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
First of all, everything you are feeling is completely normal. Those first couple of weeks when you are trying to figure out liquid intake and how to get in protein, its all a little overwhelming. And the weird, water logged, sloshy feeling is also normal. I don't think I really felt "right" until I moved to thicker purees. Keep doing what you're doing and you will find that it gets easier over time. That being said, I purchased a Hydrate Spark water bottle to log water intake. Its definitely a pricey investment, but it has been extremely helpful. It sends me notifications to remind me to drink, it logs all of my water, etc. I also use Just Better Fiber daily to help manage some of the other "issues" and it has helped tremendously. I started with one tablespoon a day and worked up to 3-4. It has been a game changer! -
Newly sleeved 4/28. Q’s for water
Grider replied to Tashrenee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Mom to 3 rem how you fed your baby. Little at a time. You have a baby tummy. So sips during the recovery period. -
and it was glorious lmao. So far today i had 2 quail eggs (they are tiny) No issues. and just finished a pouch of light tuna. The tuna took me over an hour to eat that little 2.6oz pouch. But it was nice! My 2 week follow up is today in a couple hours.

Newly sleeved 4/28. Q’s for water
liveaboard15 replied to Tashrenee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
you can get a water bottle at walmart or any store that has measurements on it. That is how i keep track or simply drink from the standard 16oz water bottles you buy at the store. Also it took me about 4-5 days to finally go number 2. I have seen some say it take a week. hopefully your doctor provided a script for stool softeners because the 1st one is a doozy. But i simply just take sips of water through out the day. I also bought on amazon like 100 of those little 1 ounce cups. and i drink my protein with that. Makes it easier. I poor 1 little cup at a time. and when i feel like taking another i pour another little cup. -
Hi everyone. I was sleeved this last Thursday and I have just felt water logged. Also haven’t been able to get things moving (💩.) How do you track your water? I want to make sure I’m setting up good habits. I’m struggling with the water/other approved clear liquids intake. I’m trying though. I’m not sure if I need a schedule or if I’m drinking too much at a time. (1/2 oz-1oz) I feel like it’s every 5 minutes. But then I just feel sloshy and water logged and then I’ll wait 30 minutes or so and totally do not feel like there’s room for my 1/2 a protein shake, even in 1/2 oz-1oz portions. I’m just so overwhelmed. What worked for you? I’m a mom to 3 kids, so I need all the help I can get! Thank you so much in advance.

Gastric Bypass in Tijuana?
Quesodip251 replied to Ninabnina77's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I used Dr. Armenta with Renew Bariatrics in Tijuana. He’s a hottie, I ain’t gonna lie. A lot of people use Dr. Green there but he’s so popular that he’s booked up 2-3 months out. Mine was a week ago so can’t comment yet on results. I had the SASI (mini gastric bypass plus sleeve removal) Cost was $5600 but is $5800 now. Make sure you ask tons of questions of the surgeon bc the coordinators don’t know what’s going on. It was all Americans in my cohort. The hospital policy is 30+ bmi but I’m not sure if they would make an exception for a revision. Worst case scenario is you could gain 10 lbs and then have it. -
Hi guys how much OZ of food could you consume 3 months post op? thankyou

Hi Possum, Yes I'm getting a two-for-one deal LOL I'm so glad that it's going to get fixed and I'm finally going to have a peaceful nights sleep without the fear of waking up with acid rushing up! Apparently when I lose the weight the hernia will not return, it's weight-related as I've been told by my surgeon, I'm supposed to be on two shakes plus low starch low carb vegetables but I haven't started it yet. I'll start right after mother's day lol I've already lost 13 kilos with my own efforts anyway so I'm assuming 1 week of liquid diet should be sufficient. Hope they can fix yours as well and all the best to you on the 9th keep me updated please! We got this girl! lol

I do not like chicken at all since surgery. It is entirely too dry and does not go down or sit will for me. The only way I can eat chicken is with sauce unless it is a chicken thigh which is more moist but more fatty as well. I do very well with a good cut of meat like a ribeye or filet. I think in moderation, like a 3 or 4 ounce piece it is fine. I do find I am going to the vegan meats more like the Gardein Ultimate Chicken Filet or the morningstar farms griller meat patties. These both have decent protein and taste pretty good.

Gastric Bypass WITH stomach removal
Mariann812 replied to Quesodip251's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I looked it up when someone here mentioned it a few weeks ago. Cigna won’t cover it. -
First off, take a deep breath in and out. You’re still early on in your journey. A couple more weeks and you’ll be able to eat whatever you want again just in moderation (like we’re supposed to eat). This will pass. Change is hard. Many of us are able to lose weight on our own but that’s not what the surgery is about. It’s about “maintaining” it and removing the potential for many health comorbidities that could kill us without early intervention. Heck, I got down to a size 2 on my own but couldn’t maintain it and gained it all back plus some. God gives us blessings in ways that we won’t know until the future but it’s all apart of his plan. My own father had WLS but didn’t follow the rules and gained it all back and passed away of a heart attack a few years later. Don’t let these temporary early weeks push you off the bandwagon. You only have one life to live. It will get easier I promise! With love, Quesodip251

Stall or too many calories?
Hop_Scotch replied to vsg02022022's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
How long since you've lost weight? If its only a short period of time its likely to be a stall. If its a long period of time, have you checked in with your team to go over your food intake. The goals previously given for protein intake may not be applicable now. Are you execising at all? -
Hi guys. I am exactly 3 months post op from yesterdays date and I have noticed my weight loss has come to a stop. I am curious as to wether you guys think it’s a stall or am I eating too much? I got covid 2 months post op , before that I was around 600-890 calories a day. After covid my appetite shot up and I’ve now been averaging between 950-1100 calories a day. if I go under that amount I am hungry and get really snappy. I feel so depressed when I look at other peoples calories 3 months out who average at about 800 and still “ struggle “ to eat. Because I don’t anymore and this surgery was my last option at trying to loose weight and I feel like I’ve failed with this now and like everything I try to help me loose weight nothing will ever work for me. a typical day for me looks like this Pre breakfast- Actimel 0% and a Caramel Latte (58 calories) can’t go without my morning latte. breakfast- varies but lately I’ve been having 2 bacon medallions (79 calories) 2 reduced fat pork sausages (162) heinz beans 80G (58 calories) And spoonful of mushrooms ( don’t count the calories as they are too low to workout) so breakfast is quite a big portion in my opinion lunch- chicken with mushrooms new potatoes and green beans (281 calories) or a folded flatbread (102 calories) with roast chicken inside (62 calories) followed also inside by some lettuce and reduced fat sour cream (35 calories) and a dairy Lee dunker (98 calories) tea - Chicken breast (126 calories ) with Mediterranean veg (88 calories) or Haddock with med veg Or reduced fat beef burger on a romaine lettuce leaf with a slice of RF cheese and lighter than light Mayo. snacks usually consist of light baby bels, chicken satay sticks , the small packs of fridge raiders or an options hot chocolate (38 calories ) some days I hit over 100G protein, carbs I eat between 50G/80G fat is under 40G a day, sugar is always under 20G would love ur opinions tips and tricks guys. for reference my programme/consultant never gave me calories to follow was just to always hit my protein goals and my start weight was 21 stone 9 pounds , I am currently 17 stone 12 pounds and 5’5.

blood pressure changes
Happy Stylist replied to liveaboard15's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
How long did it take for y'all to see the change to your bp? I wasn't on meds before surgery but I as given some the night of my surgery because it was to high. My bp is still on the high side a week after surgery. My blood sugar still hasn't gone down either. But my surgeon wanted me to go off my metformin. So I did🤷🏼♀️ -
How many stalls have you had in your journey?
Smanky replied to DaisyAndSunshine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've lost count, and I'm almost 8 months out. The longest has been about three weeks? I have them so often I'm just used to it now. Another one just broke this week. Another one will inevitably start in another week or so, and 'round and 'round I go. Not from a year+ person, I know, but I'm clearly never going to stop stalling. -
Do you do anything special for yourself the night before surgery?
FarfelDiego replied to SleeveToBypass2023's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
It sounds lovely. Soothing self care. How was the hibiclens? Does it smell ok? Do you get it from the drugstore? I’m 2 weeks away. And, yes, I’m going to have a mini home spa the day before. Distract myself from the clear liquids! -
Woot Woot you got thought hell week. Another week to go. Finally its here. A new start awaits. Hooray. Please check in afterwards. Hope every little things goes in your favor.

VSG surgery in hopes to cure PCOS and have children!
SleeveToBypass2023 replied to Cat0430's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
For me, the winning combo was losing some weight (back then it was like 30 pounds), birth control for 3 months because I have ovarian cysts that needed to be absorbed and I needed my periods regulated, 1500mg of Metformin and 100mg of Clomid. My 2nd month off the birth control pills, I got pregnant with my daughter.
