Hello everyone I was sleeved on 10/31/16 just about 2 weeks post-op. I have noticed some extreme changes to my emotions. Just about anything makes me cry, then I'm happy again lol. Does anyone know the reason for this or has anyone experienced this as well? Down 30 pounds. Does it have to do with dying fat cells? LOL Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

hey mike, congrats on the surgery, sounds like things are about normal i started feeling 100% about 10 days out. still sore but was able to go to work. i think its normal to go gosh darn what did i do?? but just hang in there because you will start to feel better and after you are healed up about 4 to 6 weeks, then you will be amazed at how well you are doing. you do what works for you. dont fret over the scale number as weight loss will come as you heal. all the best.

having a hard time recovering this time around
Lyoness82 replied to donna12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had mine out I few years before my band, and ya it's a rougher recovery then the band. Give it a couple weeks. And walk just like you did with the band. -
Hi Everyone! Happy almost Thanksgiving! I am just a little over 3 weeks out from surgery and I am exhausted. All I want to do is get in bed and sleep. I know that being tired is a common issue after surgery and as you adjust to your new lifestyle, but when did this start to turn around for you? I am trying to focus on getting my Protein in each day, getting my fluids and taking my Vitamins but it has been a struggle. My NUT gave me the green light last week to move to soft food but nothing really tastes good and the 30/30 rule is killing me. I know this gets better and I know I am probably just having one of those "what did I do to myself" days so if you have any advice/wisdom to share, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Kathy

I'm so happy that you had a terrific shopping day! Woohoo...a medium! I've always liked the idea of shirt dresses, but every time I've bought one, I've had to return it because I've got hips. Good for you for your 5 day a week workout schedule. We'll have to help keep each other motivated as the winter sets in:-)

hello just wanted to ask a few questions and see if anyone could give me some advice. i was banded on 3/2/2004 and so far i have lost 50lbs, but in the recent month i put on about 8 or so so i went back to my doctor tod him i could eat alot more and he gave me a fill which is my third the first 2 he said was .5 each time and this time was 1.0 he also said he that if i could eat the same then maybe he would have to do it under an x-ray. but that was a week ago and 5 of those 8 lbs have come off and now i cant stop burping i mean for a good hour or so. is this normal and is this restriction? im a little worried, i still can eat normal food never any pain just alot of burping even if i just drink something, does anyone think this is normal?

Gerber beef Soup isn't too bad with a dash of salt and pepper. My stepmom tried to help me eat 1 week post op by buying a lot of baby food for me Fruits were pretty decent. banana, apple sauce, yum yum lol But some of them tasted like butt.

What are you eating?
erica5754 replied to taylormarie421's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I workout to Leslie Sansone's Walk Away The Pounds about 3-4 times per week. Last week I started Hip Hop Abs. What was your starting weight? Mine was 365, so I probably had a lot more to lose than you. Don't get discouraged, I stall all the time. Just stick to your diet and continue to work out. -
I've got the Australian version but I'm assuming the US one will similar - the Biggest Loser Boot Camp DVD. Holy cow, I'm very fit and I can bring myself to the point of vomiting by putting 100% into this DVD. Its REALLY hard if you go at it hard. And extremely effective. I knocked a whole 5minutes of my 10K time last year by doing this circuit style workout 3 x per week in conjuction with outside running. Other than that my favourite workouts are MP3 ones - I love running to Cardio Coach or Treadmill Trainer.

Headhunter is right. I grew up addicted to soda pop. Pre-band I had 2-3 daily. Since being banded I had 1 daily for a while and now am down to actually not having one on a day. I can even go 2 days without it. This is a process and I look forward to tomorrow when I only have 1 a week...then eventually none at all.

Hi, I've been banded for about 8 weeks now. Had my surgery in NYC, love my surgeon and everyone in the office. I'm very happy with my decision to do this and "cautiouslly optimistic" for the first time in a long, long time! Deb

I got my first fill two weeks ago, 1cc, and I haven't seen any progress, which has been a bit discouraging. I keep fluctuating betweeen losing and gaining two pounds. It appears I have lost a total of 13 to 14 pounds since my surgery on May 9th. I admit my eating habits have not been as they should and I haven't been doing a regular exercise routine, so obviously I need to start recording the food and amount I am eating, as well as being consistent with my exercise. I pretty much can eat anything as before so I am hoping with another fill that things will be a bit more limited. This is definitly not like the rouxen-y with the rapid weight loss in the first few months. I hope the next fill will progress me further. I guess I need to find me a support group.

Can you sense the sarcasm? It's not that bad, I guess. I'm not nearly as hungry as I thought I would be...and it's been one week since I started this diet. One week till my surgery! Woot! I sure wish I could chew on SOMETHING, though. I've been chomping on some sugarfree gum to tie my over till I can eventually eat food again. Today I had Lipton Cup of Soup, tomato flavor. I was pleasantly surprised!! It was really good and it filled me up as well. I'm feeling full of energy for some strange reason and I might head over to my apartment's really small gym to work out for just a little bit! I hope no one is in there. :thumbup: I am very optimistic for my future--for the first time in a while! Just can't wait to be done with this stinkin' liquid diet! Haha!

6Ounces Of Yogurt
nickster81 replied to eeyoregirl1970's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At my 1 week post-op i asked my dr if i should be able to drink a whole 10oz protein shake and he said yes because it doesn't stay in your pouch, it moves through (which is why it's important to sip...not gulp). I remember my pre-op appt with my nutritionist and she emphasized "bulking up" yogurt later on bcuz yogurt would pass thru your pouch too. -
DOES ANYONE IN THE DFW AREA OF DENTON, TEXAS KNOW OF A BARIATRIC DR. WHO WILL DO FILLS ON PATIENTS THAT HE DID NOT DO SURGERY FOR. I HAD MY SURGERY IN MEXICO AND I HAVE A LIST OF DR.S THAT WILL DO FILLS THAT AREN'T ALL THAT CLOSE TO ME. THREE OF THE MOST PROMINENT SURGEONS IN MY AREA WILL NOT DO MY FILLS BECAUSE I HAD MY BAND PLACED IN MEXICO. I HAVE MY BAND BOX (ALLEGAN) WITH THE SERIAL NUMBER, I HAVE THE IMAGES OF MY FLUROSCOPY AND MY DR. NOTES. IF ANYONE COULD ASSIST ME, I WOULD BE GRATEFUL. HAD SURGERY NEW YEAR'S EVE, SO I AM GOING TO BE DUE FOR MY FIRST FILL SOON. THANKS SO MUCH!

One Week Post Op And Depressed.
allnewme replied to hmscott09's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was told to chase any yucky tasting meds with grape juice. That is the first drink we got in the hospital and it was so good. Are you needing to swallow pills? I would call the Dr and ask for liquid meds, you should probably not take pills yet. I got very sick about 4 weeks after my surgery and had to take 2 rounds of liquid antibiotics. I am so sorry you are sick. You will feel better once you get over the strep, it takes time for our bodies to heal since we are not eating enough calories right after surgery. Get better very quickly!! -
I will be 3 weeks out on Monday. I am really craving spicy. How long did it take for yall to eat something spicy?

I was banded April 7 and have lost 74 pounds since I started my preop diet. I am off my Nexium, off my diabetes meds, off half my cholesterol meds and down from a size 22 to a size 14. My A1C went form 6.8 to 5.9. Suddenly I am having trouble with getting stuck a lot, vomiting up meats and foods I should eat. I am suddenly eating a lot of slider foods and not losing. I get stuck on the first bite or two. I do not eat slowly enough or small enough bites sometimes, but I have pretty violent vomiting 2-3 times per week. It is violent enough that I get petechia around my eyes. I have not gained, but I am not making progress either. I spoke with the surgeon's office and they said to have only liquids until next Thursday when they can see me. I have done two days of liquids. I have pains in my lower stomach and intestinal area and a LOT of gas. Maybe the liquids? I wonder if I am over restricted and need an unfill. Any insight?

Personally I don't think it matters. Weighing just once a week is best - either in clothes or out but always weigh the same way, that way you know where your at.

Having some pain almost 4 weeks after surgery
Ravyn replied to gigi0504's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's still pretty early in your healing process. The typical healing period is 6 weeks. While I normally felt great, occasionally when something brushed against the area just above the port it was an uncomfortable feeling. I think it was pain, but not unbearable. Always air on the side of caution and leave a msg for your doctor, but I bet you're still healing. Remember to take it easy!:thumbup: -
Having Some Pain On My Left Side.. 3 Weeks Post Op

I had paid near my port (left side) for several weeks. If it is really bothering you, do not hesitate to call your doctor. -
Do I have a freaking ulcer or what?!
SandeeD posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was treated for H. pylori before surgery with 3 different antibiotics. Now, 11 weeks out for almost two weeks now I've had KRAZYYYYYYYYY acid reflux symptoms (burping all the time, stomach gurgling/bubbling Loudly, food is uncomfortable as ever, burning feeling in my gut and stuck feeling in my chest/throat). Unlike that normal I had WLS 11 weeks ago feeling. I spoke to my doctor and now instead of once a day, he has me on omeprazole (Prilosec) twice a day. I started that today, so we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I'm miserable. Someone told me that papaya also helps reduce the acid. -
