After 3 Months Out....
peacequeen replied to MKambalimath's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My calorie intake varies from day to day. I also have days where I can eat way more than other days. I have mfp set at 1000 but I don't hit that most days. I'm a slow loser too but I think that's just me because I've tried mixing things up a dozen different ways. The only time I'm really losing well is when I'm getting good excercise in. I have a difficult time with that due to health issues but my goal is to really push myself to excercise at least 5 days a week. -
Walking a lot....how much is a lot
Nyx2891 replied to caitiebug's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I waled 3-4 laps every 2 hours and they were happy with that . I had a private room so sometimes i would just get up and walk around it for a few minutes if i wasnt feeling the lap thing. -
I just had a grilled chicken cool wrap from Chick Fila for lunch. Anyone had one of these postop yet? I am 18 weeks post op today. The entire wrap is 330 calories, and they cut it in half. I could eat almost 3/4 of one half. So 165 calories and a good bit of protein. Very filling. I'm glad I found this!

The first week was the worst for sure.

Wow, sorry about your tooth. You are still bloated and swollen internally from the surgery. I imagine in a couple weeks as that subsides it will improve.

I was banded 3/6/09. I've lost about 45 pounds, but I've been stalled the last few weeks. Last week, I started re-doing my laundry room, so I was doing some pretty intensive labor - sweaty, hot, etc. Well, when I stopped to take a break, I opted for a cheese snack and it hurt. I stopped then tried again in an hour or so - same thing. I've noticed that since that day, it hurts every time I eat. There's no PB, it just hurts like a mild stuck. It happens every time I eat breakfast or lunch. By dinner, I'm ok. Anyone have this or know what it is?

When are we aloud to have salads ?
Idj49 replied to sonardms's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was allowed salads starting at 4 weeks. -
I think I am finally feeling it...

Could be! Satiety should last at least 3-4 hours on a band sized meal as well. Good luck! -
Query about PB - when it initiates
legallyKristin replied to Gopher's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
DonnaB I hate that you are going through such an awful time! That sounds horrible! I hope things get better for you. On the PB note, if it happens to me...my body will not let me drink or anything for the rest of the day and only liquids the next day. That's what the doctor prescribes, but my body will absolutely not let me cheat even if I try. I've PBed 3x in the past week so I'm getting an unfill tomorrow, I'm tired of not eating. I'm keeping you in my prayers DonnaB! Keep us posted! Kristin -
It really just depends. I've had it happen quick within a few minutes of taking a bite I shouldn't have taken, to thinking I was okay for half an hour or so, and THEN feeling the pressure in my chest for a while (10 minutes, to maybe even an hour), and THEN PBing after that. Probably the longest amount of time I've felt the pressure in my chest is 3 hours (as a guess, I don't really time it), and that doesn't always lead to a PB, just an uncomfortable amount of time.

I heard about it before, its talked about in the atkins book. Its only supposed to be used for like 2 or 3 days. I dont know all what you can eat so ckeck the book.

Got the "official" date! Plane tickets booked, and hotel for the first night down there. I don't think I want to spend 3 nights in the hospital....even though it's free. Excited, nervous, and a little bit scared.....but I've been waiting for what feels like forever to get up the nerve to book the surgery. CAN'T WAIT!!!

I don't think it's bad. I ate plenty within my first month post op. Now I have a box I haven't touched in about 6 weeks. Maybe when it gets hot I will go back to them. If they are like my little popscicles, each one gives you 2 oz of water, so enjoy!

Decaf coffee seems to have broken my 10 day stall. I have had three cups and each time was practically running to the bathroom.

How long should you wait for your fill to cooperate?
Biglilmama75 replied to Biglilmama75's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm sooo happy for you! It sounds like your recovery is happening very slowly but surely! I hadn't been able to go to the gym for a week and a half because I was too weak from not being able to drink. I don't think I answered your question before. This is my third fill. My first one was uneventful, as I thought they all would be. I hope he doesn't take out much, but I will deal if he does. I've lost 20 lbs these last 2 week; that's the only good thing in all this. But I feel sick and run down and irritable and it's also messing with my cycle and my attitude . Oh, my poor family! MY KINGDOM FOR AN Optifast PROTEIN SHAKE!!!:thumbup:. I went to shop rite today and they are having a big sale on anything drinkable... I bought tons of diet snapples and sobe water and waters to bathe my mouth in after the unfill. How pathetic am I???:thumbup: -
Anyone know how far out u have to be to eat them? I'm 4 weeks post op and I wanted to try a pure protein chocolate bar to see if that would help with my protein intake but I'm scared. And my drs nut won't return my calls.

HW: 312 SW: 300 Weight Day before Surgery: 289 GW: 150 I had Gastric Sleeve back in 2014 then got pregnant almost a year later and just did the Traditional Duodenal Switch 4 days ago. Day 2 was a little scary after eating 2 pieces of Jell-O and half of a Sugar free Popsicle I ended up throwing up 6 times but in very small portions and some blood came out as well. Did some testing after and it wasn't anything major just has to stop eating and stick to liquids a couple more days before trying anything else from Phase 1. I was supposed to go home yesterday but Dr kept me an extra day to see how I did with Phase 1 continuation and see if my white blood count came back ok cause it was slightly elevated after surgery which is normal. Blood work came back and I'm all good to go home! Yay! So my journey begins. Anyway else recently here did the Traditional Duodenal Switch in the past 3 months, how are you feeling and doing now?

Binge Eaters slow loser?
UTGal99 replied to ArtSong's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 15 weeks out too (sleeve surgery Oct 3rd) and I am down 44 pounds. I would say you are right on target. At least I think I am on target. 40 pounds in 15 weeks is approximately 2.66 pounds per week. That is normal, healthy weight loss. I have always been a slow loser too, but I don't worry about the amount of weight loss everyweek, just that I am losing and not gaining. I have never been a binge eater; however, I used to take in the largest majority of my calories in the evening and I (like you) find myself eating all day now (stoking the metabolism fire). Good Luck to you! Keep us all posted on your progress. -
Foods After Surgery That Used To Be a No-No
barbie41 replied to SummerTimeGirl's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Thanks for your response. I am just going week 2. I am feeling really hungry right now and know I can't consume any regular food right now until at least 6-8 weeks. I have another question if you don't mind. Right now I'm drinking a lot of water. I don't feel any restriction at all, so I don't know if I should drink until I throw up to know my tolerance. I'm suppose to drink at least 64 oz, but should take all day. -

Swollen stomach
SleeveToBypass2023 replied to Danette's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's normal. You still have the gas they used in your surgery in there that needs to work its way out. Make sure you walk, walk, walk and in a few days to a week you'll notice the discomfort and swelling will be gone.
