Week 5 - Is restriction comming in before my 1st fill ?
hotsexyrunnerchick posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Last week and the week before I could eat way more than I can the past few days. This week I havent been able to finish my meals and last night I fekt so nausous. How does one go from very little restriction to a lot ? Confused... -
I am 8 months post up and I started running again in November with the couch to 5K app. Now I'm doing up to 14 miles averaging 25 miles a week. I've also registered for a couple half marathons this year and I will move on to full marathons next year.... baby steps:) I do water or water/gatorade mix when I run for over 2hours. I also take GU with me. It has caffiene and I know we're not suppose to have that but I one use it on my long weekend runs. Post run I have chocolate milk and a scoop of protein for recovery. I also cut a banana in have and have a piece before my run with a slice of whole wheat toast and pnb, eat the other half after workout. I haven't had any reactions to anything... After burning 1600 calories during a run, I wanna eat the whole house but it's weird only being able to consume so much....I find the liquid goes down faster than trying to eat a meal post run since you have to get in in within 30 minutes. I also make a shake with the chocolate milk, scoop of pnb, chocolate protein, frozen banana pieces and a tsp of decaf coffee granules.....So yummy!

Got my date for tummy tuck & breast lift ....can't wait!
BethinPA replied to bdcsail's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Tomorrow makes 7 weeks out from my lower body lift, and I still have a seroma - I've been going to the doctor for the past three weeks to get it repeatedly drained. If it is still there next week I will have to get a drain put back in for a while. I keep telling myself to take the long view, but this has been a real drag! -
I am extremely tired and frustrated. At least two nights a week I awake choking on stomach acid! Tonight it really scared me because it seemed to burn the heck out of my vocal chords! It took at least an hour for the burning to stop. I was literally crying. I had surgery in Mexico so my family doctor has been trying to help me.. First I was on Nexium. That didn't solve the problem so now I'm on Dexilant! I am wondering what else may work.. I am 10 weeks out, I eat the right foods, and I don't eat too late. Now, I'm scared to sleep for fear of choking!! Has anyone else had a similar issue or know of a medication that may help?????

Hi sexpa my name is key, i was reading your comment and felt the need to put my input. I think the reason you are seeing an increase in your weight is becoz of the strength training. Any time you strength train you will gain anywhere from 3 to 5 lbs because you body is toning there for its adding and tightening up muscule that you may have not use in awhile. In the meanwhile this will mean you have loss inches. So make sure you check your inches as well they mean alot to. If you continue ti strenght train eventually your body will begin to lose again. You have to give your body time to get with the program. I hope this is helpful. Keep me inform. key!!! -
Super Achy Body In Third Week -- Is This Common?
CCWriter posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm having a lot of pain in my back in the area of my kidneys. It's not a stabbing pain, more like I'm just really achy. I just want to go curl up in bed, but that doesn't seem to help either. I know I'm staying hydrated, so it's not that, but would love to have some input on whether this is common at this point (close to three weeks out), and what I might do to relieve it. CC -

Surgery is NEXT MONDAY! What should I expect?!
BigDog Bryan replied to TheRevisionedVagabond's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The worst thing for me was the leak test the next morning (an AWFUL TASTE). I was a bit loopy for the first day, then I was walking around the ward floor 2-3 times a day - VERY SLOWLY. What to pack: 1- a Positive Attitude, 2- a loose fitting warmup suit for the trip home, 3- something to read and something to listen to, 4- COMFORTABLE SHOES. I made a travel bag of stuff that I never even opened - pack LIGHT and be EXCITED for the New Life you are about to enter into! -
Don't you hate it when your trainer says this...
Globetrotter replied to Fiddleman's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I don't respond well to the traditional no pain no gain, sadistic trainer, the kind who says just 3 more! And then after those 3 says, only 5 more! That sort of hooey makes me go into a blind rage. That is one reason why I love Xfit so much, the guys at the box are so enthusiastic and in love with Xfit that they just radiate joy in getting stronger and better, which makes you want to try your hardest. -
Operation New Leaf
Bryn Dawson replied to Bryn Dawson's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Ugh, I didn't even think about that - sodium being too high = Fluid retention. It's amazing - I went through all this nutrition stuff in health class in high school and sure, I learned it superficially, but now it's sinking in how everything is linked to everything else! Oy! The nutritionist and surgeon's office gave me a binder - this GBMC-COMP program really is comprehensive as all get-out - with all kinds of resources, sample diets, etc. It also has all the rx forms for my preop testing and explanations of what each test is, plus information on the postop diet that doesn't even apply to me (yet!) and stuff like that. The numbers I should be meeting are: <200g carbs, 70-90g Protein, <60g fats, 1800 cals. Right now I'm meeting the carbs and cals and working hard on the protein. The fats is still high so that will be my next big focus, and, of course, the sodium. (Goodbye my best friend salt, how I will miss you...) Haha. I haven't had soda in a whole week. Nothing carbonated at all. It's been surprisingly easy after the first couple days, but I am drinking a lot of mix-ins - Crystal Light and stuff. Maybe that is not helping the sodium - I'll check into it. I'm starting from 'scratch' - no lap-band before sleeving, so I don't know how my weight loss will go. I expect it'll be quick for a month or so and then will start to slow down - hoping that I'm wrong. Thanks for your support here. It means a lot, even though I'm so far out from a surgery date still. Just gotta walk the path and make it there - the gateway to the rest of my life! -
Veterans: Are you Having your Band Removed or is it Removed Already?
TQUAD64 posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi Everyone! I am back with an update. I am having my band removed on June 4, 2015 and six months later will have the gastric bypass procedure. I did lose 34 pounds with the band, which is awesome. The weight loss has helped me be more active. However, I am almost seven years out and I am having band issues, which include port pain which is not associated to a fill; loss of a lot of fill Fluid within weeks of a fill; and being stuck which landed me in the hospital. So, to the banded veterans, are you having your band removed or is it removed already? AND are you having another WLS procedure? Please share. Thanks, -
Surgery is NEXT MONDAY! What should I expect?!
ella37 replied to TheRevisionedVagabond's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I get pretty bad anesthesia hangovers. Honestly it probably took me 3 or 4 days to feel completely awake afterwards. All I really used out of what I packed were slipper socks, my pillows, a heating pad and gas X strips. You will probably be sleeping most of the day after your surgery and most of us get sent home the next day. Make sure you have non constricting clothes like sweatpants to wear home because your stomach will be sore. I had some pain upon first waking but that was quickly dealt with and some nausea the first night. They changed my nausea med and I went back to sleep. Honestly the gas pain was probably the worst but didn't last longer than a few hours. I did fall asleep on the toilet on and off for a couple of hours when they told me I needed to pee or get a catheter, lol. I was NOT having a catheter so I just sat there fading in and out until it came out. I always wake up feeling totally awful after surgery but that's just my own personal reaction to being put under. My husband stayed overnight with me and the staff at the hospital was super helpful and on top of all of my problems. -
Omeprazol/Sleeping on belly
Drzthickness85 replied to Drzthickness85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the feedback, it was a little scary to me because in the two week that I have taking those pills I never experienced this feeling of throwing up! -
Hey all, So today I had a small scary episode I'm two weeks in on my surgery, on Friday I was told to start puree foods, as every morning I wake up and have my protein shake, and sip water throughout the day at about 12pm I had some pureed Calabasas (pumpkin) lightly season with sea salt and a hint of cayanne pepper. I waited about 1 hour an half so I can't take omeprazol, once I had it Lord I thought I was going to die, I got light headed,chills and stomach cramps, as if I need to use the bathroom but nothing! Two minutes later I start gagging and I was throwing up an acid sour throw up ( my guess the pill) I guess the force of having throw up I felt all my stomach muscles cramp up! It was horrible!! Is this normal? My LPN told me I should continue pill for the next 3 months? But this was before this episode! Who has experienced this? Please any feedback is greatly appreciated! Last question how long after surgery did those belly sleepers start to sleep on your tummy's, without any discomfort?

Should I be able to eat this much?
jujubslim replied to She's_Sleeved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a stall from week 3 to 5 I upped my calories goal to 800, still couldn't get that much in, I'm averaging 700-750, but my scale did start moving again right before I hit 6 weeks. I think the stalls are a normal part of the process. Follow your dr's orders, get your water and protein in and you'll be fine. -
Just beginning my journey...
Mary Jane T replied to Mary Jane T's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you everyone. No @@judyoz we aren't having it done the same time and for that very reason. I think my hubby should go first. He's 8 yrs older then me and has multiple health issues. I don't have any except for sore knees. Our Hannah is small for her age (she's 21 but only 50 lbs) but it's still 50lbs. When asked if I exercise I like to say "I lift 50lbs several times a day.... does that count" lol We will request our surgeries to be about 6 weeks apart to be sure we're healed completely. -
Well I went to the Dr last week and he told me I didnt need my next fill yet. I've lost 19 pounds in two months and he was pleased with the difference. He said to keep going with what I have for another month or possibly even two. I went ahead and stayed on my liquid diet for the rest of the day, mainly just to give myself a jump start for the next two months and partially since I'd already psyched myself out for it all day. :mad2: I'm down to 220! Hard to believe that a year ago I was abut 270.

I make my own last night I did grilled chicken, apples, pralein pecans, blue cheese, spring mix with simply fresh pomagranet dressing. I also love a homemade ranch made with 1cup plain Greek yogurt 1/2cup milk 1package ranch mix (salde dressing not dip) and mix let it sit over night. I dip veggies in it or put on baked potato it ups the protien. Ohhh and do you ever go to Los hermanos? They have the best chicken tortilla soup I buy a quart and eat on it all week.

I'm almost as your measurements I'm 5' 2.5" and I weight 211# my BMI is 38 I'm a stress and a sweets eater I'm a plastic surgeon and my figure is very important for me and my clients I hv been obeese my whole life This year I got hypertension and knee pain and decided that enough is enough My surgeon who is a colleague recommended mini gastric bypass obviously bcs I'm a sweet and stress eater But I totally refused it I'm a surgeon and I know that is it a malanatomical procedure and I can't handle malabsorption syndrome or dumping syndrome!! My friend had 3 car accidents due to damping syndrome and almost died So I promised myself and him that I will control myself post op and I hope I can control the cravings after I start loosing weight and seeing results Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Weight lost has slowed..just hit 4 weeks..Is this normal?
KristenLe replied to Trulyabeautifulbeing's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
With going back to work - are you drinking enough water? I know it's easy to get busy and forget to drink. Although the "stall" is normal! Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App
