Newbie From San Diego
SoCalShannon replied to SoCalShannon's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi Jess77! I went to my PCP twice already. She is supportive of me having it done, but says in her experience it is tough to get the referrals approved. She put the request in last week and said to make an appointment with her for a month later. She said then I will find out if the referral is approved. In the meantime, she has me seeing a nutritionist as a backup in case of a denial. That way my medical history will show more weight loss attempts. It is frustrating having to wait so long...actually it's torture! I am the kind of person that when I make up my mind I just do it, so this wait is killing me. I really want to have it done over the summer and begin the new healthier me, but at this point I have to go through the process and pray that it ends up in my favor. I will keep you all updated. Jess77 since you are going strait to the surgeon, does that mean you are self pay? Please let me know how your appointment goes. -

I just had my 5 week appointment and am now on soft foods...chicken, tuna, shrimp, canned fruits, cooked veggies. I really think this will help me to get all my protein in. It's funny, i'm so excited but will probably get full after like 4 bites..ha!

Vote: Would you be interested in a local 5K run?
haroldrussi replied to TklMeSkinny's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I used to do a 5K every week when I was traveling but I would usually do it at a walking pace instead of running and I assume that will be ok for this event as well. -
Vote: Would you be interested in a local 5K run?
haroldrussi replied to TklMeSkinny's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yes I get bored easily so most of the locations I travel to have 5K run/walks each week on Saturdays so I would spend the hour doing the 5K then find something to do the rest of the day. I walk about a mile each day so a 5K (3mile) is not hard. -
I physically can't drink till about an hour after eating or I vomit. But the fill was taken out of my band 2 weeks ago to fix a slip and I've been spoiled by drinking with my meals. I get filled again next week so that'll be out soon. I love Mexican food but also can't drink when I eat it. I'm really thirsty till I can drink again. Marci

Well ebony I am back. My surgeon says that the doctor can modify your diet if need be. My dietician totally redid my diet. I am on a new diet that is so much better. I could ony do a week of liquids and if you are diabetic your diet should be different to allow for sugar control. Don't change your mind about the procedure because I was whining! Have the surgery, I am glad i did. My problem was my dietician had me doing the RNY diet instead of the lapband diet. Talk with your dietician call her/him and bug the hell out of them until you have a solution to make you feel better. After the surgery the liquids weren't that hard to do for the first 5 days for me it was that sixth day.

Ok, I guess today is officially cheat day. We went to the cookie drive at my SIL's church and had too buy a bucket of cookies and together with the cookies I am having another cup of coffee (espresso size cup). I keep thinking that on the end it is just liquid, and I don't think my staple line should be that "raw" that the touch of 1oz. of coffee has repercussions. I know neither of you can make recommendations, and my surgeon seems overly cautious but I am sticking to his recommendation and am still on full liquids and will be until 12/14. He keeps me off soft foods for 6 weeks - I feel like I am really coddling my sleeve compared to other folks on here. It's like home schooling vs. public schools, lol.

I was really sore for about a week but now, a month out I don't have any pain at all. Take it easy and let yourself heal. It will get better.

Dumping Vs. Eating Too Fast
DLCoggin replied to tstevens28's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
About 2/3 of folks who experience dumping get it 15 to 30 minutes following consumption of some foods - usually high in sugar or fat. The other 1/3 don't experience the symptoms of dumping for one to three hours or more following eating. So I'd say it may well be dumping. I had my first experience with dumping about seven months out and after eating some red grapes - which led me to believe it was in response to the sugar, but I did not have any vomiting. Light headedness, dizzyness, "the shakes", diarrhea, even fainting (rare) - are all possible symptoms of dumping. How often has it happened and what food(s) brought it on? -
Oh yeah.... I'm 6 months post op and that happened to me last week !!! The pain is not a "I'm too full pain" it is a pain like someone punched you in the stomach - it really hurts like hell !!!! Yep.... I learned my lesson.

Liquid Diet - one week or one month?
purplecatlover posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I see many people on the site that are on a liquid diet for 1 week. My doc says 1 MONTH and I am struggling already. Is it safe to go on to puree after 1 or 2 weeks? Thank you bunches! -
I was warned about this being a possible side effect on my 1st NUT appointment. With only being 3 weeks post-op - I wouldn't be eating anything like that anyway. Your body is telling you that you shouldn't be eating sugar! Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

How to Vortex them First things you have to get a Vortex https://www.amazon.com/LUTANI-BBQ-Kettle-Grills-26-75/dp/B07BP7JFWK/ref=sr_1_4?crid=GUJUNI9LG6TT&keywords=vortex+grill+accessory&qid=1584617398&sprefix=Vortex+grill%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-4 Step one We prefer only wings but get you chicken wings and legs. RInse off and put in bucket, Now the key to this is the brine. To brine use 1/3 cup of salt, 1/3 cup of red hot. Use chicken stock or base. I prefer the chicken base paste. Also on amazon. Add water to cover wings and refrigerate for 12 hours. I do this before i go to bed then they are ready the next day. Step two Remove wings and lightly rinse. Put in zip lock bag - Add wing sauce, butter and pepper and shake it all up. Store for 3 hours or more flipping bag every so often. Step three. Get your grill rocking with the vortex in the middle. The ones i did yesterday the vortex had the grill at 600 degrees Hot as Hell in there. I found it easier to remove the grate and arrange them around the outside off the grill. We wanted a little smoke flavor so i added a chunk of apple wood to the middle of the grate. Put grate back on grill. Close lid. You have to keep the lid closed the heat is going to roll around convection style with the vortex in the middle of the grill. Took about 30 minutes and I did rotate them at 15 min. Skin was perfect, moist from the brine, and perfect taste. On the side we did have a variety of hot sauces, Ranch and blue cheese - Not a wing in site 15 minutes later

Hi Wild Blu! Ive been having nighttime reflux off and on since December - my last fill. Everytime I think that its time to get a slight unfill, the reflux stops. Because I was worried about the reflux being due to a slipped band, I asked for a barium swallow to check on the position. Everything checked out ok. Soon afterwards the reflux was much better. Probably due to a number of things... prilosec qd and no eating after 8pm. For the past week this reflux junk has kicked up again. I even called my pcp today to get a script for something stronger then prilosec. (shrugs shoulders) I dont know! Have you read our "sticky" thread about reflux? Good luck - and let me know what happens.

Each Day Gets Better !!!
newlife326 replied to mizpk83's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lucked up actuality. I am a teacher and I scheduled my surgery a week before Spring Break just so I could maximize my recovery time! -
I am taking three weeks off. Because I can. LOL, yes I can because I have been at the same place for 30 years and have over 1600 sick hours available. And with our stupid new PTO system, I can't use them unless/until I am out more than five days. So, yeah, because I can.

I'm sort of like Chancie. It's kind of funny that in the first 3 months I never "slimed" or threw up, but I've probably done one or the other every 1.5 weeks since then. My full signal is usually my nose running, but I sometimes like the taste so much I take another bite, chew it and spit it out just to taste it again (I know gross). I've gotten pretty good at it that no one even notices.

Drinking water after operation
sassypants replied to joydenstar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
After the op your taste buds change I am one of the people who went sensitive to salt to everything is super sweet! Something they don’t tell you about but my doc giggled at when asking me if it happened yet. Your mouth feels like crap everything taste like crap it’s a combination of the op meds and the ketoses thing going on. No amount of brushing my teeth and mouth wash felt like it made a difference so after 2 weeks of mouth crap I couldn’t take it any more and took a mouthful of cold coke swilled it around and spat it out. The bubbles just felt like they were waking up my mouth like a shock of oh hello this is not same old same old crap hello mouth!! It goes away but it is ugh at the time.
