The 10lb weight loss before surgery. Requirement or suggestion?
mylynn1377 replied to T bonz's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm doing my preop diet now. Liquids and sf jello for 2 weeks prior. No lb requirement specifically, but I figure to shoot for at least 10 lbs lost which seems to be what most doctors want. It's mostly to shrink the liver, to keep you from gaining weight, or to prove that you can commit to something this life changing. -
So disgusted with it all (and myself)
cruzlady replied to TracyNYC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hang in there-- I have gained and lost the same 2# for the past 3 weeks.. I am frustrated .. My biggest problem is lack of exercise. I did FINALLY start a Water walking program AGAIN. Our weather has been soooo rainy, snowy & crappy, they my mobility was the pits.. I was using the stupid walker AGAIN!!!! As I sit here typing I am nursing a Protein shake (and drooling at the smell of my grandsons pancakes.) -

day before surgery (L) - three months post-op and 58 pounds down -
I think it took me about 2 weeks also until I was comfortable sleeping on my side. It gets better.

I was 2 weeks till I could sleep on my right side, 4 weeks till my left side or stomach. My surgeon follow up was at 4 weeks and when I asked about it he told me that at that time the tummy was strong enough to handle bungy jumping but to expect some pain when moving around for a few months as he "stabbed me many, many times" , then he laughed. I laughed but it was more that nervous, that's not really very funny laugh that you give someone when you don't know what else to do. I am not almost 11 weeks out and sleep just fine in any position. It's all good now, hang in there.

I swear by Goodwill. I think I've re-bought my wardrobe about 6 times & I could have never afforded it without Goodwill. You will probably be dropping to a new size ever 4-6 weeks, so I don't think investing in new, high quality clothes would make much sense until you are around your goal weight.

i am 1 week and 2 days out and i put turkey noodle soup in blender and ate some-is that ok in full liquid phase? i am just so sick of protein shakes
-
I think that entirely depends on your doctor! Mine would say no...that's a puree and I can't have them until Week 3. For full liquids, though, I can have just about any soup as long as I've strained anything chunky (like noodles, potatoes, meat, veggies, etc.) out of it. Can't wait to try the Light Loaded Baked Potato soup I bought earlier today...of course, strained .

My 3XLT's are getting loose but I'm not into the 2x's yet. My wife was hanger drying these shirts 5 weeks ago so they would fit.

November 20th Bandsters!
Chasidy replied to ccweeks's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been preparing for a couple of weeks but still don't feel ready - the next two evenings I have to be on top of everything. I'm not doing good at all with my pre - op diet to be perfectly honest. I've tried and I have been absolutely starving. Mine is supposed to be liquids with two fruits a day and that's just not working for me. I've cheated a couple of times because I thought I would pass out if I didn't. I'm really worried about the cheating. I hope this doesn't mean I'm not ready. -

Hi and welcome! Typically speaking, if you have a desk job you'll want about a week off. If you have a more physical job, talk to your doctor because he will want you to take a couple weeks. -
Betterthanbefore- That is true. Also, I wonder if they are the three day, over one eye, or on one side type of migraine or headache. Wishing & praying you haveno more migraines.

Congrats! Now take good care of yourself and have patience. The difficult first weeks will be behind you soon. We will help!

When did you all start eating fruit by itself? I'm going on my 7th week and I'm currently on solid foods. My doctor recommends eating at least 1 fruit of day with Protein. I've been adding a half banana to my protein smoothie in the mornings but wondering when I should start branching out and trying other fruit like berries, oranges, peaches, etc? A mandarin orange sounds so good right now!

I am 3 weeks post op and now taking capsules again. I am Shocked that they told you to go without lithium! That’s absurd especially since I imagine Lithium Comes in a billion forms. You need to get back On the meds any way you can. Please call the office. They can call in a script for you. I had tablets of one med and I cut them In tic tac sized pieces with a pull cutter from CVS 3 times a day when I first got home.

I need to buy a new scale. I think... So according to my scale, I've only lost 7lbs since surgery. According to my doctor's scale, I've lost 11. WTH?! I weighed myself, right out of the shower at about 7am the morning of my surgery, 250 flat. I weighed myself same way, same time of day yesterday, 243. Yet the morning of surgery at the hospital (about 2 hours after I weighed myself), I was 251 with a big heavy hospital gown. then at my doc's office yesterday, 240. He says his scales are better, being $300+ dollars. But now I don't know if I'll be able to accurately guage my progress with mine. He wants me to lose 10+ more in 2 weeks, but I'm afriad if I go my scale I won't know if I did or did not accomplish it. Mine is about 15 years old. <b>Does anyone recommend any good brands that are easy to find in stores like Bed, Bath & Beyond?</b>

6 days postop and feel terrible
shrinkingmonk replied to shrinkingmonk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for the responses. The color of the draining liquid looks good according to my doctor, but I am wondering how long it will last. It is draining now as much as it was right after the surgery. I mean, what if it just keeps draining for weeks. Has anyone ever heard of the longest someone had to have the drain in? I did get iv liquids on Friday, because of dehydration. Between the diarrhea and drain I don't know how I can stay hydrated. I am drinking 2 protein shakes a day and as much water as I can. -

My advise is to find something you enjoy and will keep you motivated. I love competition so to keep me focused I try to find races or sports. I am 2 years post op and play soccer about 3-4 nights a week, and will be competing in my first triathlon in 3 weeks.

older post "typical diet after lapband"
4MyHealth2011 replied to zeniada's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My instructions sound like yours... 3 meals at 2 liquid ounces per meal. Only one protien shake per day can be used to substitute for a meal. For now I am able to do that. Its only a week since my first fill. I know I should try to do without substituting a meal with a shake for a while. My instructions warn that shakes can cause the pouch to reduce in size that filling the pouch with solids is the best. -
You'll do great. I understand the panic attacks. I have a 2 week pre-op diet I started last Thursday. 12 more days to go for me. Let us know how you're doing. If you see me panicking on Wednesday the 8th please remind me what I said. Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App
