I'm a week in. It gets easier after 3 or 4 days... I am really NOT hungry now. BUT if you don't follow the program, you have to start the 3/4 days over again... and again, and again!

Hello everyone. I am having trouble finding food to eat. Since I have been on puréed this week I have been eating puréed pinto Beans and I can only get in about 40 teaspoons. I am sick of Protein shakes in the morning. Any good puréed recipes? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You've lost .57 lbs a day average which is great! Stalls happen (for me a lot) and they suck but your skin & stuff is adjusting during that and as long as you are drinking water and eating mostly protein you will lose. I started at 310 the first week of May, 285 on surgery day 5/25, and this morning was 188.6. 8 full months, 121.4 down.

Help! Being revised from band to RNY on Monday. I don't know what to expect!
SoccerMomma73 replied to PrincessErin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yay for you!!! I had my band out August 1. The original plan was to convert to bypass at that time but I had so much inflammation and scarring from my band prolapse that he felt it safer to send me home to heal for 6 months (would have had to have made my pouch larger...who wants that,?!?!??). Six months was up February 1, my surgery is Monday!!!!! Yay!!!! Healing from the band removal was a piece if cake except EXTREMELY sore where the port was removed for about 6 weeks (my surgeon said the actually scrape it off the abdominal wall, ouch). I've attempted to attach a copy of my diet progression for you. I have 6 days full liquids, 1 month gastric bypass soft diet (meat must be spreadable plus soft squishy stuff) then 2 weeks of the same except meat should be ground and I can add toasted whole wheat bread. Then 2 weeks with shaved deli meats then normal foods with caution. 2 months and 3 days post op I will be back on essentially a normal but healthy diet. My doc does not forbid anything but recommends a healthy low fat low carb diet. I am allowed (as tolerated) bread, rice, potatoes, popcorn, etcetera just in moderation and prepared in a healthy way. A lot of folks on here are totally anti-carb so every doc is different. I like my docs approach of anything in moderation though, it does seem practical to me to never eat bread or potatoes again! Good luck!!! Keep us updated! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 241.6 -
Yes, I had mine at 2.5 weeks post-op and I've just had my second fill at 8 weeks post-op. I didn't notice a lot of restriction with the first fill and I only have a slight increase after the second. I am scheduled for a third on 12 Feb.

Intermittent Weight loss, How do you handle it?
GEAUX SAINTS replied to Stevehud's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Stevehud - I weight everyday, as well. I went for my first 2 1/2 weeks losing a pound a day. Then the "dreaded stall". I stalled for 4 days straight. UGH!!! I didn't get upset, other that I couldn't say that I've lost a pound a day anymore! With the sleeve, you KNOW it's not gonna just stop! You WILL loose it, probably a couple! Guys are so lucky! Good luck on your journey!!! -
One week post op, how do i get all my protuen in?
Luckystar12 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just started pureed and had pureed chicken. I was able to do 2 bites every hour. Omg. So maybe i am not ready for denser protein?? Please advise when you were able to get this down. Also, it does get easier right??? Ahhh -
One week post op, how do i get all my protuen in?
Imabeskinny replied to Luckystar12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every surgeon has different instructions but I am on week 2, and not supposed to begin the puree stage until week 3. My first week was all about hydration and rest, I am just now focusing on adding in more protein. Take it slow...it will get easier, at least thats what I keep reading and saying to myself! -
I wonder: are you getting as much Fluid on the weekend as you do during the week? It's easy for me to slack off on days when I don't have my usual routine---sleep late, etc. And when I'm not properly hydrated, I have lots more trouble--my stoma is just tighter and less happy. I'm sorry you're having a hard time! ETA: Blood is always scary, but it's not unusual to see a bit of blood streaking when you've had issues/irritation. Be sure to mention it to your doctor. S/he is likely to recommend that you stick with liquids for a short time, then gradually move through mushies back to solids.

An anti-acid will help with existing acid (my doc recommends 1/day for 6 weeks). A PPI will help prevent the acid from forming in the first place. Sometimes both are used, sometimes only one or the other. I'd check with your doc. The doc and his staff are there to help you. My doc's staff has been AWESOME about answering my questions and providing support.

Congrats to you on your weight loss so far...it sounds like you are doing great!! I had port pain a few weeks after surgery also, but it went away shortly. I love myfitnesspal also. I wish I would have known about it when I had my surgery. It definitely keeps me accountable for bad choices that I make.

I went to the hospital today to get my endoscopy since I’m having trouble eating most solid meats. They weighed me once and it was 102 kg(point something idk exact number) but they told me it was 224.9lbs. Well the past few days when I weigh myself at home it shows that I’ve gained weight. For example a week ago I was 227 and yesterday it said I was 232. Well I got home after my procedure and weighed myself and it said 233lbs. Which is almost a ten lbs difference. My question is which is more accurate? Or which do you personally think is more accurate. Usually I go by mine because it says I’m a couple lbs less than the office but this time it’s the complete opposite which confuses me. I want to say the lower weight but that’s just because it makes me feel better😂

Today I have realized...
Silvernova replied to Isabelmonster's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This thread is exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve always battled depression with appropriate treatments, but this is a new level I haven’t experienced. I think what is so bad is the weakness/fatigue I have daily even with getting in vitamins and short walk around the house. But, I’m also struggling with the soft food stage. I’ve only been able to tolerate cottage cheese and a super tiny amount of wet ground beef with cheese. Everything else comes up even if I chew to apple sauce consistency. (I can tolerate apple sauce though). :/. I’m 5 weeks post GS and would appreciate hearing similar stories and/or encouragement. -
I had my second fill after not loosing any weight for 3 weeks. I went from 1.00 to 1.4 after a week it was still hurting to drink coffer or orange juice in the mornings. All I could get down was creamed Soup and puffed cheatos. The Dr could not belive I gained 1 lb, he took out .2cc for some releif, I go back in 3 weeks. Dr said I had to be eating really bad food. Cream of (take your pick) twice a day and Carnation instant breakfest in the morning. Sometimes crackers, chips or popcorn just to get something down. I am getting very disappointed I have only lost 20 lbs since my surgery Oct 8. I have not lost any weight since before Christmas. Anybody else had this kind of problem. :confused:

Go on vacation 2 weeks after getting the VSG? I'm planning to go to Hawaii 2 weeks after surgery for my friend's wedding. It's a 15+hr flight duration from the East Coast! Any survival tips? How did you feel 2 weeks after surgery?

I've lost nothing in 4 weeks... I think my problem is not drinking 64 fl ozs of water, making sure I have 60-70 grams of protein and also counting my calories. I'm basically not eating or drinking much so I think my body is just getting used to the way I eat. I've read my post op diet package and there is nothing on there about how many calories per day... Can someone tell me please? Had surgery dec 9th lost 48 lbs

Is timing of hair loss important?
Ree224 replied to Bluesea71's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello, what I was told by hospital staff that if your hairless is within the first three months of the surgery it is most likely from your anesthesia. If your hair loss comes after then it is a lack of protien in your diet. I am very recently post op so I have not had the personal experience to the hair loss and fingers cross it will not happen. I hope this information helps. -
I recently heard that the timing of hair loss post surgery was relevant. The sooner you started losing, the sooner it would end. For example, if your hair started falling out at month 3, the hair loss would only last 3 months. If hair loss started at month 8, the loss/regrowth process would last 8 months, etc. Has anyone heard this before? The information was reported from a fellow BP friend after attending the 3 month follow up class offered at the hospital where we had our surgeries. I'm attending the same class in a few weeks and will be sure to clarify! Are there any veterans out there that can share their experience? I have been shedding hair like crazy since 6 weeks post op, so I'm selfishly hoping this is true!!!
-
I had to attend all the classes prior to surgery. Then I saw my surgeon at 2 weeks, the 2 mos, blood work will be at 3 mos, and I will see him at 4 mos and 6 mos. He set goals for me for the first year. Only blood work for the first year. I don't know after that. He knows I live 2 hrs from the support group and that I attend it here. LOL
