6 Mo Bloodwork--Fast Prior or Eat Like Normal?
shmily replied to thinndskies's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Usually you have to fast before major blood work. -
Well there usually is a reason as to why doctors move without leaving contact information. . .A) they are being sued, or they are being sued. . .doesn't he have a partner or someone else who could perform the surgery. . . I'd drop that Dr. as fast as I could. . .very suspicious if you ask me. . . .

Hi everyone hope you’re well, I’ve been on the pre-op diet for three weeks and I was very nervous because I had a scheduled trip to Las Vegas. Before the trip I had been meal prepping, measuring my food, weighing my food, etc. so naturally I was very nervous for what I was going to have to go through Las Vegas because all my friends were going and I knew I could not eat as I normally would or drink any alcohol whatsoever. It was very difficult because all the options are fast food and restaurants so I made sure to order the most protein dishes but I found myself eating more larger portions than I should have. I did a lot of walking and I took the stairs when possible. I was there for five whole days no desserts sticking with three meals a day and no snacking while watching all my other friends eat anything they wanted. I was so nervous to get up this morning and weighed myself since today is my first day home because I have my psychologist appointment on Monday. I wanted to show progress but I was so scared that this trip may have set me back. I am so excited to announce that I am actually down four more pounds while on my trip in Vegas putting my total weight loss in the past three weeks on pre op diet to 21 pounds. Thank you God!

I bought a small 2 cup food processor from penny's. It makes noise but it's very fast. And it doesn't "whine" like my blender does. You might want to check it out?

salsa1877 replied to Just Banded's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You might be eating too much, too quickly, or too fast. Do you get the same feeling when you drink? or eat soft/mushie food? I know I had some wierd sensations when I first started eating with the fill...and most of them were caused from overeating. Try to find your soft stop...a sign that you are full that you usually don't get in your tummy. For me...my nose starts running when I am "satisfied" If I stopped when I reached that point I didn't have pain. If that is not working and it is still cramping or causing you pain, I would contact the doctor. Good luck -

anxiety over changing behaviour 3 weeks preop
NicoleInVancouver replied to NicoleInVancouver's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks so much for your input, everybody. Diana, I used to smoke so your analogy really resonated with me. I've decided to do what I did then - get a bit angry! When I smoked, I felt that cigarettes had control over me and having control over my life is a HUGE thing for me, so deciding to take control away from the cigarette addiction and put it back in my hands was what really helped me quit. Next month will be 5 years, I quit "cold turkey" and never looked back, no nicotine replacement or anything. So, fast forward 5 years and I'm going to do this again. Also, stopping and reflecting 'why do I want this food?'. What purpose is it supposed to serve? Will it move me towards my goals or away from them? Thanks again for your support, ladies. I really appreciate you all. -
I had a glucose tolerance test a couple years ago and scored one point (lol, like a sports game) above the borderline diabetic line. 120-something. I don't remember. When I had my appointment the other day and just had a finger prick in the office (not fasting, but hadn't eaten in about 4 hours), it was like 82.

2 week pre op diet, average loss?
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to Seymour1971's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
great loss so far..but the pre op is not really about losing (weight) its more to get the body ready for surgery..larger BMI people can lose more and sometimes some people hardly lose anything...its basically liquids...and it happens fast and also on the post op.....and then when people start to eat again (slowly) because one is just in drinking their food, they can gain or (even not lose anymore) and then they start the whats wrong stuff.......AND that is where you need to realize, inches lost mean actual weight.. measure yourself now.......and then again a couple weeks post op.....use that guide as a sign.. all the best. -
They had me a surprised intervention.
diana89131 replied to diana89131's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I really don't know. My surgeon told me maybe I am eating too fast and not chewing enough but I don't think that's the case. I am really starting to hate to eat. I am now on Zofran for the vomiting. I had an ultrasound and a cat scan plus blood work and it all looks normal. I get sick at least 4 times a week two times a day. -
This has been so accurate for me! I will drop 10-15 lbs really fast, and then it will slow down/stop for a bit, and then drop fast again. Repeat. I have to give myself a pep talk every time it happens!

Pretty Tight Fill (again), Does sodium effect your tightness?
agreatknead replied to want2beme's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi, I was banded in Tijuana by Dr. Francisco Gonzalez. It was a great experience and I think he did a wonderful job. I am getting my fills locally and that Dr. seems to be very good and really "with it"! I don't have a ticker on my signature, haven't figured out how to do that. I started at 245 and weigh 202 now. Hoping for that last 3 lbs to go fast so I can be in onederland. I know how it is with the ice cream. Some times you need the calories so that your body doesn't think you are starving. At least it doesn't have much salt in it! Keep up the good work. You might be set right where you are and not need to go back anymore for fills. That would be great! Sally -
Truely, you could try joining a dating site like Match.com or Cupid.com or whatever. It's really easy and you can take it as fast or as slow as you like. Just my .02, though. :-)

How long until surgery?
audaciousmarie replied to Pinkberry2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It all depends on your insurance and your surgeon's office. When my info was submitted to insurance (on a Friday) I was approved on Monday. I had a surgery date about a week later. I went through UHC. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App WOW i hope mines moves that fast! Thanks for replying Little tia You are welcome. I hope it moves even faster for you than it did for me. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App -
I hate to ask this question but I am month 4/6 in pre-approval process. My whole life I have tried anything you can think of and I have been so very sure each one was the answer. I usually lose between 8-12 pounds each attempt and then stall. It's been the same thing pre-op. I did intermittent fasting with being gluten free since 7/31/19, no problem fasting 20-22 hours but when I would try to do alternate day fasting or 24 hour fasting I would gain with the lower calories. I have researched starvation mode and most experts agree it does not exist. I ended up averaging 19 hours and plateaued at 12 pounds after 3 months and then started gaining again even with the fasting. When I did my pre-op I was at one of my lower weights (my weight plot looks like shark teeth) and was told I was not allowed to gain at all during the process or my surgery would be denied. As part of my pre-op I have continued intermittent fasting for an average of 16 hours but I also gave up all grains, dairy, sugar, and soy. I have lost another 12 pounds for a total of 24 but cannot get any lower. I've played with calories, food types, anything I can think of. I track all my calories and activities and range 1200-1500 being mostly on the lower end of the range and get at least 30 mins of walking 5 days a week. I have no emotional issues with food and am very disciplined. I do have Hashimoto's thyroiditis but my hormone ranges are good according to my bloodwork. My thyroid is almost not existent except for a large nodule so my endocrinologist wants me to have me thyroid removed in addition to the sleeve. My big fear is that there is something weird with my metabolism and that I'll have the surgery and not be successful. It sounds crazy to even say that but this is a support group and that is my truth.

when will this work smoothly?
options123 replied to options123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
thanks vlp1968 for your response. It is not truly something stuck. It feels like something is in my throat but nothing is there. It is this feeling i get after I have eaten. I feel it when i am finished eating not during. I was told my stoma is irritated from chewing to fast or eating too much. I have never thrown up or had a traditional stuck episode. I seem to be in this place and i do not know how to get out. I try to eat slow and chew well this is so difficult to me. Could that be the issue, that i am eating to fast and eating too much? Thanks -
I went to run on, a shoe store where they fit your foot and such, watch you walk around, etc. I over pronate a ton, but the guy said he used to be in the upper 300's, had surgery and now is considered normal in terms of pronating, and said likely I'll be right there in a year or so. I was happy to get someone who had been in my shoes before, well not literally. I was fitted to some bad ass Mizuno shoes that were last years model, marked down to $160 and I love these things so much. My wife got fitted to, she was NEVER a runner of fast walker, ever, always complained of knee pain. Now she jogs, double times, and runs with me most of the time now with ease. I'm all for the shoe stores that fit your feet and your walk.

Sounds like you're bored. Change up your diet. Slow down your eating. Focus back on how you ate at the beginning. Use a smaller plate. Don't eat standing up or in front of the TV. Move more. You're probably eating the same things too often, and/or eating too fast. Turn things around, and see if it makes a difference. Force yourself to change the same old routine. Sometimes all you need to do is rearrange how you eat in a day, to get back on track. Good luck! Dave

Pre Op Liquid Diet - stomach upset
ladygodiva replied to ladygodiva's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
They also allow Atkins advantage, SF Carnation Instant Breakfast, or Glucose Controlled Boost. They told me to pick one kind and stick with it...but ugh! Maybe it's the soy in Slim Fast. I have always had a hard time with soy. I may try another brand for a day and see if it helps. All this SF stuff is blech. -
Does anyone else has this problem?
Kay__S replied to ag333's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I've found that the junkier the food is, the more of it I can eat. I only learned this over Christmas staying with my in-laws. Now that I am back home, I get full very fast eating vegetables and Protein like I'm supposed to. I keep absolutely no junk in the house because I'm a real addict when I'm around it. I really think you should see your doctor about getting on medication to deal with Depression. If you're already on medication, definitely look into changing it. It sounds like you are self medicating throughout the day. The right medication will be much more effective. I know this one from experience.
