Miralax once a week if needed helps me
-
So, my job requires VERY frequent travel, 3-6 days a week, most weeks, airplanes, hotels, restaurants, etc. I didn't travel for the first 5 weeks after surgery and I lost very well. Now I've been back on the road for two weeks and my weight has not moved this last week at all, in fact I went up 0.2 lbs. The week before I lost 1.4 lbs. Those two weeks I ate at a number of restaurants and even though I wasn't eating much, what I ate wasn't very healthy (high fat, still pretty low carb, moderate protein). I am worried that my job (which I absolutely love) will make it impossible for me to lose weight because I'm eating a lot at restaurants. I am on the road again now and I went to the grocery store and bought some things that don't have to be cooked/heated (I have a mini fridge but no microwave). I am trying not to make excuses, but it's hard to eat the same few things all the time. Did anyone else have to eat out a lot and still lose weight? Any suggestions?

Psych Meds after Gastric Bypass
lizonaplane replied to EsojLabina's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm now 7 weeks out from sleeve, and the only difference I've noticed is that I haven't had a single migraine since my surgery so I've been reducing the amount of topamax I'm taking. All my other psych meds are the same. Sometimes I feel irritable but I think it's because I'm not seeing the type of progress I was hoping for. Also, I don't take any extended release medications and that makes a big difference, plus bypass makes it harder than sleeve. -

October surgery friends??
ann2472 replied to LyricalWarfare's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
2 weeks post sleeve today!!! Since starting the journey with meeting the dietitian I've lost 30#. Since surgery, I think I'm down about 16# and honestly my only issue is acid reflux and possible lactose intolerance. Otherwise I'm feeling great and getting ready to get back to the gym! -
I love vanilla fairlife....Sam's and Costco carry some but I don't like chocolate just vanilla. Also like the protein 20 which is a water and in 4 more weeks will have one with caffeine! There's also a premier protein water that tastes good.

This liquid diet got me ready to lock myself in the room with a jug of water and protein drinks for the rest of these two weeks! 😩
Why something that seem so simple can be so hard.. 😓
Food addiction is REAL!

What day are you on of the pre-op diet? I started to feel like it got easier after the first week. I’m going on day 9 and I actually feel less hungry and full faster. Best of luck to you on your journey.

I'm sorry you're feeling some blues. I've experienced just a little. I have more anger about not being able to gulp water or drink and eat now.. I agree with others that our hormones are trying to regulate again and it is ALWAYS worth talking to your care team or professional. I don't know if this helps at all but I've been open to friends and coworkers why I have been out or MIA. The support and optimism from them has been really surprising! I assumed the stigma behind WLS would have more negativity. I know not all have the same experience but having encouragement from the most random coworkers has been really nice and helped me to solidify this decision and continue to share. I'm at the end of 3rd week post op. I post once or twice a week in my Facebook to give a post op update. After all, friends and family are nosy 🙂 but it's easier than the texts asking how I am. I have not shared any photos yet. I'm wanting to see more change before I do that. I wish you luck! I'm thankful you shared with us. We're all in this together!

New pain and bloating 3 weeks post op VSG
Crystal CW replied to Rey Rodriguez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What did it turn out to be? I’m 3 weeks post op and having new pain and soreness that I didn’t have before. I’m on 5th day of soft foods. -
Yes. I think it's leftover from intubation. It took a good week for my sinuses to feel normal. The blood thinners don't help a nose bleed either. If it's a chronic issue post op, let your support team know.

Surgery October 11th- how are you feeling?
LaceyJoyBells posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hello! I am new here! My surgery was on October 11th. I just wanted to see how people were feeling who had their surgery around the same time?! I just started pureed foods last week. My go to's have been: cottage cheese, scrambles egg whites with cheese, and fat free re-fried beans with cheese (all the cheese I guess haha). I tried pureed canned chicken for the first time yesterday with low-fat mayo and Dijon mustard and it wasn't bad! I am happy that I have been able to tolerate most things. Give me some updates-- what has your life been like since surgery in the last month? Looking forward to the replies 😎 Thank you and nice to meet you all in advance! -
Food Before and After Photos
Arancini replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
5 weeks post op vsg 3/4 Sour dough bread 1 1/2 Tbsp. Camembert Cheese 30lb weight loss post op This was my first time since getting the surgery that I ate out and that I ate anything else than moosh. I was so anxious and even thought about not going but it was a mandatory work event that I couldn’t just cancel. I was genuinely surprised how well it went. I feel like I ate quite a lot. I’m okay with that though because my primary goal isnt maximum weight loss but an end to excessive yoyo dieting. I will most likely transition to more normal foods now given how well tonight went. I’ve been eating 400-500kcal and should be getting 800kcal after week five. -
I am The Most Unlikely CrossFitter (started at my heaviest weight) and also mourned the enforced detention from the barbell. I was told absolutely no weight at all for two weeks, walk only. After my two-week visit, I was cleared to for running, jumping rope, and biking (but not rowing, just because of the mechanics of it) and given a 10-lb. restriction which I will freely admit I stretched to 15 lbs so I could use a training bar. I went back to the gym and modified things heavily. I was cleared to return to the gym fully at 6 weeks which was last week. I strongly, strongly suggest you plan to go slow as you return. If you used to go five days a week, go 2-3. If you went 3 days a week, go 1-2. Scale. Absolutely. Everything. Your body will hurt just like it did when you started, and after the gyms reopened post-quarantine. We are finishing a strength cycle that I wasn't here for, so I'll just be kind of doing moderate weight and seeing how my mechanics have changed (cleans feel TOTALLY different), and will start the next strength cycle. I will say that my running got better IMMEDIATELY. I went from a 14-minute mile where I had to stop and use an inhaler, to an 11-minute mile in just four weeks, and my inhaler is in a drawer. I ran an 800 m in under 5 minutes and didn't die. I actually can't wait to see how much closer I can get to a pull-up or a toes-to-bar with the increased mobility and less of a leaden weight in my @$$. Oh, and for what it's worth, I was able to pull 60% of my heavy deadlift for 5 reps absolutely cold the week I returned. Will there be strength loss? Probably. But it's not as bad as I feared.

October surgery friends??
Arancini replied to LyricalWarfare's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I hear you!! I felt so discouraged during the third week. But now its all good again and week five has been great just hang in there! It’ll get better xoxo -
I'm about 58lbs down since surgery and 80lbs overall since I started looking into WLS. I just crossed into Onederland yesterday and hopefully will stay there. I've recently been stalled for about 3 weeks which was incredibly frustrating but dropped yesterday and today so hopefully regular progress will be resuming again. I really need to get the gym more often and increase my exercise. The goal for success my dietician set was 180-200lbs so I'm technically within that but I would personally like to get down to 175 maybe even 150 if I can. I'm hoping to start trying to conceive this coming summer after I hit my 1 year mark and get cleared by the surgeon and I'd like to be as low as possible when that happens to avoid gaining too much back. Stalls are so hard on your head but I'm really hoping things move along again now.

I could walk right away (even before I left the hospital) at 4 weeks out, I was cleared to do everything except for weights at 8 weeks out, I was cleared for weights

Hi all! I’m schedule for bypass Dec.13 and already wondering about post op exercise. I started CrossFit when I started my pre-op weight loss in June. I absolutely love it and it has helped me in so many ways already. I’m kind of feeling bummed that I know I won’t get to go for a while. I have read at least 6 weeks post op for more intense exercise other than walking. What kind of time frame or restrictions did you all experience? I know it is based on my surgeons recommendations but I’m just trying to prepare myself. I don’t want to lose all my strength progress but don’t want to hurt myself either. Thanks!

Hey There! Any December 2021 Surgery Friends?
NikoNiko replied to armartin98's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I started doing protein shakes for breakfast and the evening for the past week and lost about 6 lbs (probably mostly water weight). I’ve also been trying out the protein water/ powders. I don’t start my preop diet until 1 week prior to surgery. -
I had my surgery on the 19th of May and have lost 69 pounds since then. With the exception of around 3 weeks when i did not lose weight at all, i am currently at a steady pace of around 2-3 pounds per week. No major issues but i do feel acid in my throat in the mornings or evenings if i go to bed more than 4 hours after dinner. Anyone else get that? Also, any pescaterians in here? I've been eating more fish than i would have ever wanted to and strugling to find vegeterian protein sources that can pack a decent protein punch in the portion size that we have. I eat a lot of tofu and seitan. Any ideas what else i could add as a regular in my diet? Sent from my Mi 9T Pro using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm on my second stall in five weeks of post-op. I've had exactly two weeks of weight loss out of five. It sucks, even though it's just part of the process. Just have to stay off the scales and soldier on.

5 days post op bypass and I ate half a cookie
Leslie F replied to Aymen's topic in Food and Nutrition
5 weeks post sleeve and I've been physically hungry all day. I've not yet felt this. Made a pizza for the teenager and i had 3 bites. It's sitting like the dough ball that it is in my pouch. I feel awful. Lesson learned, i hope! Sent from my SM-G977U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Post op complications Gastric bypass
Jinxavier replied to EsojLabina's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I’m a little over 6 weeks post-op gastric bypass and spent most of the day yesterday in the ER. I was severely dehydrated, and I have a kidney stone. I was just starting to feel pretty good since I was able to start eating some “real” food and then this happens. I know it’s going to all be worth it in the end, but these past six weeks have been a lot harder than I expected. -
I’m having a consultation with the surgeon tomorrow and have lots of questions, but following a telephone consultation with a clinic admin/advisor with the provider a few days ago, they have said I’m not suitable for a bypass as my BMI is too low at 37.7. I wanted a bypass and concerned a sleeve won’t be effective. Three things I’m concerned about are: 1. I’m honestly not a big eater. I eat two meals a day and glass of orange for breakfast. My two meals are a single sandwich (usually cheese) for lunch and then a dinner. Dinner is typically a portion of tortellini and baked courgette with a couple of slices of garlic bread. Not huge portions. I do drink alcohol most evenings…3 glasses of wine as average. Some evenings I’ll have a bag of crisps (26g) too. My kids, friends etc comment on the amount I eat being so little. I don’t eat any sweet things. I sit at a desk at least 10 hours a day as I own my own business. I go home and sort my kids then work more. Very sedentary lifestyle. Will a sleeve be effective? 2. The admin asked if I suffered acid reflux, to which I said no, but since looking into a sleeve I’ve learnt that this includes indigestion…which I do get, especially at dinner with my kids (the arguing, bickering usually accentuates it!). Will the consultant think I’m making this up as I was so set on bypass? 3. I’ve read the sleeve isn’t as effective as bypass and it concerns me that I may only reach part way to an ideal bmi. I think if I’m doing this, and self funded, that I want to go all the way with it. It’s disappointing that I may not reach the best outcome with a sleeve. Can anyone weigh in on this (excuse the pun!).

Any October 2021 Surgeries?
Shrinkingvee replied to devotion's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hi there, Aww I’m so sorry you are going through this. I know after my surgery my blood pressure went up a bit for 2 days and I was told it was the effects of the Anaesthetic but my pulse was too low. we all react differently to it. I really hope you get sorted and the heart rate decreases. you will get better with each day it is a day closer to the new you! stay strong lady! Gas pains are normal and suck but they will get better. I’m 3 weeks post op tomorrow and things have improved for me so much. Mira hard to start but worth it in the end. hang in there. -
Yes the 3 week, 3 month stall curse lol. It’s totally normal. I am 1.5 months post op and I am down to 225 from 256lbs surgery and I had a 3 week stall that lasted about two weeks. Best thing to do is put a way the scale for one to two weeks. :) your body is just in panic mode but if you are doing what you are supposed to do you will lose the weight whether you look at your scale or not ❤️
