I have a bit of a vomiting phobia so I stayed on the anti-nausea meds a bit longer than I needed I suspect - to be safe! Everything is more bearable when you don’t feel like chucking!! The rest gets better pretty fast. Two weeks out, I was feeling pretty good, going for walks outside, trying flavours of protein soup (WAY better than the shakes!) You’ll get there...

My husband is in the military. Our base is covered with fit people. Our gym is free. The first time i walked in I was nervous,but did my best to look like i owned the place...i've been going M-F and some weekends for 2 months now and all of the employees know me and as well as regular gym goers. The first week I acutally had a guy tap me on myshoulder and tell me to keep up the great work. That I ispire him to keep going even when he doesn't want it. Sure there are times when I'm doing an ab workout on the side of the football field where they are running for PT tests,but that passes over,because no one can fault me for being at the gym...I even have a trainer that offered to train me at no cost...so i guess it pays to look out of place sometimes! lol:thumbup:

I’m SCARED!! Stalling after 1 month Post-op?!?
Cynisca replied to TakingBackChrissy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I think your weight loss total is awesome. Stalls are mentally so hard! My nutritionist gets me to do screenshots from a bariatric app that I use to track my meals etc. She looks at the time between eating, what I'm eating etc and it's shocking what she picks up that i never would. I imagine you have a nutritionist on your recovery team maybe do the same and just get them to look it over for you. -
My surgery date was 3/13, last week Tues. However I have to say I feel like crap, I'm super miserable. I completely understand that my body is changing and it's going to take time. I kind of just need to vent. My throat is sore from the tubing, anything and everything feels super heavy in my stomach mostly the protein shake, I'm nauseous all the time, I'm barely getting 64oz a day. Is anyone else going Through this? Or went through it? When did it get better for you? What made it better? Sent from my 831C using BariatricPal mobile app

Newby...awaiting Surgery Date In September
JMV replied to MGP713's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am also glad I found this forum so welcome from me to you Are they talking about you having surgery on September 6th? Are you on a special diet? I'm just curious because my doc made me start on one 2 weeks before he could do the procedure. Good luck and you will have to post some pictures! -
I was sleeved on 11/8/17 and have lost 75lbs so far... 30lbs since 1.3.18....I exercise 5-6 times a week (mostly strength training) Eat 800-1100 calories a day, stay away from sugar of all kinds and carbs, I've gone from a tight 24 and 3x to a loose 16 and XL.... Am I losing at a normal rate? 30lbs in almost 4 months-which is better than anything else I have ever done, but should it be more? But mentally I feel like something happened...have I done enough? Should I be losing more weight? is 30lbs since 1.3.18 enough...ugh. This journey is definitely a physical AND MENTAL one....anyone else feeling this way? Or did? what did you do?

This is exactly me! I always had to battle with my weight but was fairly successful until about 8 years ago. I had my sleeve on June 3rd and hope that this will be the solution for me to keep it to a healthy range for many years to come. The surgery isn't easy, but I'm less than two weeks out and am feeling great. The first 3 days were the hardest for me, mostly because of the gas pain. Hang in there!!

TMI: is throwing up different on the sleeve?
nsquared replied to OnlyDownFromHere's topic in Food and Nutrition
IMO, throwing up post sleeve does not feel any different than throwing up pre sleeve. What DOES feel different for me is the sensation BEFORE throwing up. Typically, if I have to throw up post sleeve, I feel it in my chest and throat. Almost as if those areas are blocked and then I run to a sink. Pre sleeve, if I had to throw up I felt it in my stomach. For me, I think the reasons were user error related. Not chewing enough or eating too fast. I have not actually thrown up because of nausea since being sleeved. Anyway, now that I am close to three months post op, I have solved those earlier issues and don't have the vomiting urge any longer. -
When I was on the 2 week pre-op liquid diet, I got scatterbrained too. I don't think the diet had alot to do with it. I think the problem was that I was so single-mindedly focused on what I needed to do to keep my head in the game that all other things went to the back burner. Not to worry.....it will get better after surgery

Can and when can I eat them? Is that a vegetable or a Protein? I'm 3 weeks post op. Just trying to be creative with meals. I'm not a vegetarian, I like variety. Thanks Amanda

I drink a glass of red wine about 3x a week, have since about 3 mths post op. Doesn't affect me any differently. The very first glass, I will admit made me quite tipsy, but from then on - doesn't affect me at all. I count the 110 calories in it in my daily allotment.

I feel like my weight loss has stopped at 7 months out. I feel like I will not lose anymore than the 100 pounds I have lost already. I am pretty bummed about the whole thing. I have been eating right all week and the scale is going up and not down. I must admit I have not exercised a single bit since surgery, I know I need to but cannot get motivated to do so.

I have not yet been approved for LB. It took me a whole year to get all the paperwork and doctors appointments finished that my insurance required. After finishing all of my requirements I felt GREAT when I dropped off my paperwork to my surgeons office so they could submit everything to my insurance. Well, they submitted everything on March 6. My insurance company said they had up to 30 days to approve/deny....when the 30 days was close to lapsing, I called my authorization gal at the office and she said she hadn't heard back from my insurance company and suggested that I call them to see what the status was on my claim. When I called, the company said they had NO record of anything that had been sent over nor did they even know that I had been trying to get approved for anything. I was furious....that doesn't even start to explain how I felt. Why was I so patient waiting those 30 days when I have seen on here that people get approvals within a week or so? I contacted my gal at the office and told her the situation, she was upset because she had gotten a confirmation that 46 pages was received and thought we were on the right track. She told me to breathe and that she would be in contact with someone from my insurance company to get the ball rolling extra fast. She has resubmitted everything and is in contact with a supervisor at my insurance company who hopefully will expedite my claim. So, here I am waiting again...lets hope it doesn't take 30 days...

Irrational worries about pre-op testing
PhatPhoenixVSG replied to marypups's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I'm not really worried about being turned away. I'm not aware of anything wrong other than reflux and this muscle pain in my shoulder. My Dr has reassured me at 3 different visits that it is muskloskeletal related, I'm convinced I am dying lol!! I am a worrier too. I'm going to ask my primary Dr to do a full exam and beg for an EKG a few weeks before.... I'm more worried about dying in Mexico and my family unable to ship me home (irrational I know). I trust my doctor and don't really think that will happen to me. -
Post Op Foods - Returning to Work
Diana_in_Philly replied to BusyMom945's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It depends on your plan post-op. Each plan is different. Mine was full liquids (yogurts, soups, shakes) the two weeks, then purees, then soft foods, then full meals all at 2 week intervals. So by 8 weeks out I was eating "normal" food. I have two teen daughters and a husband and I am a planner too. Generally before shopping each week I plan the protein for each night so I'm not scrambling with the what to cook or make with this issue when I get home. I just kept up my normal routine for them. During my first 2 weeks, I ate lots of greek yogurt and soup. Sometimes the eggface ricotta bake. I fed my family the usual stuff we would eat. In purees, if I made them meatloaf, I'd just mash mine up more - same with chili. By the third phase - it was lots of chicken and fish. For work, I don't have access to a fridge, so I pretty much pack the same thing on my office days. (I work from home a few days a week.) Chicken salad, romaine lettuce, yogurt and a cheese snack. Sometimes an apple (but I'm 1+ year out.) I didn't freeze stuff before surgery and I'm glad I didn't - my taste buds were off for a few weeks after surgery. -
Thanks!!! Congrats jillw8!!! I had some hurdles a couple of weeks after the sleeve, but this feeling is amazing!!! I can play with my 5 yr old and 19 mth old, and not be so tired!!!

Weird taste in your mouth..
onega128 replied to _Brooke_'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had it too. I am on my 5th week out and it is pretty much gone. It is south easier without that taste in my mouth. -
I know some of the stomach swelling was from gas. but I am two weeks out, and my stomach is still so swollen. I can tell by my pants being tight on my waist - pants that were loose before surgery and I have lost about 10 lbs since surgery. . i m sure muscles, etc are still swollen and healing in there, right? its not really painful, just uncomfortable sometimes.

I was only sleeved a few weeks ago but set back due to complications too. What are you eating at 8 weeks MAB?
-
I am 11 weeks and I was cleared for all foods at 5 week. So far the only thing that hasn't sat well with me is egg salad. All other forms of eggs are fine though, go figure. I just make smart choices, but it is nice to be able to eat anything. Salads are finally easier and I love the unwich from Jimmy Johns. No bread, they wrap the meat and cheese in lettuce. Very good and good for you when you're on the run.

Hey everyone, My wife is three months post surgery and she's doing phenomenal. I've just scheduled my initial consult with the surgeon, so I'm very early in the process here. I did have some questions/concerns that I'd love some input on. I currently enjoy obstacle races such as Spartan and Tough Mudder. I also do Crossfit 3-4x per week. Post surgery, will I be able to fuel and hydrate myself to handle a 16-mile race on a mountain? I worry with the smaller stomach size, I won't be able to take in enough calories to function, or enough water to keep hydrated. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks! Ray

Hi Becky, 23lbs!!! That is wonderful. How long has it been since your surgery, I don't recall if you mentioned that already. Since you are still on full fluids, it must have only been 3-4 weeks ago, right? I am glad you are doing so well. I like hearing about your progress, so please keep us informed. Thanks,
