Start with the basics. Count calories and measure portions. Eat 3-4 oz of Protein, 1/4 c starch and 1/2 c of veggie at every meal.... If you are hungry after that you may need a fill. Good luck!

I struggle also sine aug 20 thought it was me failing again. But I got my 3rd fill last week and it is so different (10 cc band cc with 6.5 in) I hope this last a long while. doctor said I could have another 1.2 cc in 14 days if needed so keep that in mind and if you still feel hungry all the time get a fill don't wait a month like I did. Track every bit and drink it really helps to do that.....it gets easier when you get to the green zone I am almost afraid to count that I am there it feels just right and every time I think ive got it..I don't....good luck and hang in there................line dancer

Child with the stomach "flu"
ParrotheadCathy replied to maestrita's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was given a prescription prior to surgery for an antinausea (can't remember the name at the moment), but it dissolves under your tongue -- they give it to chemo patients alot. I had to take one a few weeks after surgery and it stopped the nausea cold that I had for some mysterious reason. The main thing is to not panic. Use hand sanitizer, don't kiss your kids or even hug them for a few days. You should be fine! -
I'm doing the same as Wolfgirl: home equity loan through my credit union, because full amount is due 2 weeks before surgery. Interest charge is ridiculously low - 3%!

Hello! You're doing awesome! I was sleeved on 8/11/14 and am down 61lbs. You will average out about 2 to 3lbs a week over time. As long as you drink your Water, get in your Protein and move you will lose weight. Anything lost is a win! Vitamins....I was told to double my vitamins if I am taking grocery store vitamins. I take a multi Vitamin gummy, B12, Biotin, calcium chews and D3....the recommended amount on the bottle but I do it twice a day. I was on a thin liquid and Protein shake diet for 4 weeks and then a thick liquid/mushy diet for 2 weeks. No solids until week 6. The solid diet for a week was lean protein, cheese, yogurt, banana, humus, cooked veggies....stuff like that. Then I started adding beef and a bite or 2 of brown rice or whole grain Pasta. I was only able to eat 1/2 to 3/4 cups of food a day for a while but am up to about a cup now. I have 3 small meals and 2 to 3 Snacks a day....snacks are usually a cheese stick, yogurt, a small handful of nuts.....something like that. I get about 800 to 1000 calories now but in the beginning it was 500 to 700. Don't worry....things will progress as your body heals. Just don't over do it. Go slow. You're doing everything right. Eat slow, chew well....stop when you start to feel full. I start to burp a little and I know I've had enough. The first 6 weeks it took me about 30mins to eat. Now I take about 20mins. It gets better, it gets easier.....I promise! Best of luck to you!!

Walk as much as you can, I remember feeling the exact same way. Walking, for the next 3-4 days as much as you can will relieve the pain so long as you aren't having any other complications. Recovery is painful but every day gets better Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations, Mike. Well done on your continued weight loss and on keeping to your plan. Your example inspires me to keep going on my pre-surgery weight loss even though it is a holiday week here in the US. I can overcome it. Blessings to you. -

otters38 replied to JennyBee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good idea!! I am 2 1/2 weeks post op so I am in bandster hell right now, but still trying to stick to eating well. Breakfast--2 egg whites, 1 egg yolk Lunch--1/2 turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread and applesauce Dinner--grilled tilapia, and half of a bacon potato with ff sour cream I didn't add the calories up but from all of the weight watcher days, I know I'm good. Tonight I will either have a ff fudgesicle or yogurt. -
It feels like I am going backwards!
Jenne replied to cookielover's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Poor Amy! I can't really comment too much since I was banded after you were and am only just now moving from the no-energy-stage to the finally-feeling-somewhat-human-again stage. However, in the last few days I have noticed that some days I feel great, and others (like today) I feel like crap. It has only been less than 3 weeks since your body went through a HUGE event, so give yourself some time, maybe it is just going through another adjustment period. Are you taking Vitamins? How is your weight loss going? Do you have another follow-up appt with your doc soon? If not, maybe you should call.... I am sorry that you feel so bad, I truly believe that it will pass soon. I'm sure some more experienced banders will have some better words of wisdom for you than I, but here is a big hug through cyberspace anyway!! :hug: Chin up!! You can do this, and you will get through it! Jenne -
Probably not the same plan, but I have Aetna also. They had 30 days, but they took about weeks.

You'll prob have a good week on the scales. Ha!

Day 12 post-op and tired of liquids
uscgal97 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I seriously don't think I can make it another 11 days on this liquid diet. After the first 7 days, I was so hungry I begged my doctor to move me up to soups and yogurt. That worked for a few days but now, I'm tired of the soups and yogurt also and ready for something more substantial. How did you guys get through the 3 weeks on the liquid diet? Any tips, tricks, ideas? I'm basically eating only 400-500 calories a day. I'm lethargic and starved all the time and my doctor wants me on liquids for 3 weeks before moving to the pureed foods. This seems a little extreme. I welcome any thoughts. Thanks. -
light blood spot after surgery - had a hysterectomy. ?
Daisee68 replied to All done's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I passed 4 kidney stones in the first week. (But I have ongoing issues. They were already there but just got flushed out from all the fluids. Glad you got hold of your doctor to confirm it wasn't the surgery! I know that gives you some peace! -
Surgery was Tuesday, 26 Mar. Today is 3 days post op and I have to say I feel great! I was back to work part time yesterday and today. On full liquids and everything is staying down. Stomach cramps are lessening everytime I eat/drink and I have good energy. Gas is almost all gone from my chest and shoulders. Had a little diarrhea after eating some cream soup for dinner, but otherwise everything is staying down. No nausea, no vomiting. Wonderful experience. Life is good! Almost down to the weight I was when I had surgery. Now for the numbers to go down even more!!!!

Thanks for the replies ladies! I see my surgeon for the first time since surgery tomorrow.. today was my 2 week post op date... only lost 2 lbs.. wondering how much my period played into that and if I need to "move" more already...
-
Thanks! All surgeons are sssooo different on the post op diet and mine requires two weeks of liquids so I'm a week down and still have a week to go. Then I do two weeks of mushies and then I can start attempting regular food. And I also thought chicken broth was NASTY!!! I didn't expect it to be so bad when I tried it. LOL

a few post op ?: lortab and sitting/sleeping positions
LSF replied to kplant's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found that if I took a tums when I woke up in the morning - it helped with the nausea. I sleep with a pillow on each side of me and it makes a big difference. I wasn't able to start shifting onto my side though until about a week post-op -
Sorry, I guess I had two weeks liquid diet, too. The first was just harder because it was clear liquids. The second week was full liquids which included real soups and pudding so I thought I was really getting some great food by that point. Then mushies was great. As a matter of fact, I still finding myself going back to some of the mushies because they were so good.

light blood spot after surgery - had a hysterectomy. ?
All done posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey everyone I had my surgery a week ago and I feel fantastic. I am eating drinking and feel good. Only thing I noticed yesterday and today is only 2 times after I went pee I would have a very light blood on the tissue. It is very very light had to really look to see it. I had a hysterectomy years ago and was just wondering if anyone else has ever seen this thanks so much -

I haven't lost any weight since August. I wasn't able to hold down hardly any food, but wasn't losing. I went in last week and they said the reason I wasn't losing I was too tight. They let out 1cc. I have already gained 5 pounds. Is this normal? Will the weight come off? I am eating healthy, but my body hasn't had food in awhile. I am almost at my year mark and am still 30 pounds from where I want to be. They kept saying I've done great. I've lost 65 pounds, but have lost more and faster on medifast 3 years ago of course that came back as soon as I stopped. I am still paying $300 a month for my band and I'm not happy.

Just wanted to share that tonight was one of those nights that I was really glad to be banded! Me and some friends went to watch the UFC fights and usually I eat and eat through the whole 4 hours. Shrimp, fries, chips, wings, dessert... I usually end up so overstuffed it hurts!! Well, tonight was the first UFC I'd gone out to after being banded, and I could hardly eat anything! I really enjoyed it! I munched at the appetizers, just like everyone else at the table, I wasn't scarfing them down and then ordering more! I feel so good to not be controlled by food anymore! I also know that I did not set myself back a week on my weight loss! Yes, maybe a day because of the fried food, but that's do-able! :thumbup: Anyway, just wanted to share...
