Well today made my 5th week out and my experienced today' date=' everything I ate or drank felt like it was stuck and a few minutes later I would spit up thick white mucus, therefore I phoned my surgeon office around 7pm and I received a return call, instructing me to go to the hospital's outpatient unit where I will receive lots of fluids, toradol for pain, and blood work, my nurse said I was experiencing stomach spasms, he said I will receive treatment for 3 to 4 hours for 4 days, until my stomach relaxes and after that I should be fine, God is my help...[/quote']

Feel better soon and keep us posted!

I had surgery June 25' date=' lost 20lbs the first two weeks, then nothing! I read somewhere on here that some people had similar issues and once they could eat more, like 100-200cals per day more, the weight started coming off. I am now trying to eat on a regar basis, every couple hours just so I can get in more than 850cals. I feel like I am force feeding myself. My nutritionist said that getting in 850cals is appropriate for my stage. But somehow, it just doesn't seem right. I'm not hungry either but I exercise every other day for 60mins. If anyone else has any input, I am all ears!![/quote']

My surgery was the 26th and I have also lost 20 lbs. this week nada! The only thing making this bearable is fitting into clothes that were too tight three weeks ago! I don't see the nut till aug 17 for my next meal plan. Technically that is almost three weeks later than what I should be, but was her next available.

I look at stalls and plateaus like this - the slower I lose, the less loose skin (maybe). LOL #MYsilverlining

I'm nearly 3 weeks out & I have stalled. The scale actually said I gained back 2 lbs. How the Hell do you gain on this??? I don't feel bad hearing I'm not alone.

This happened to me recently. I realized the gain was die to Water retention related to my cycle. About a week later I lost what I had gained plus some. Hang in there, stick to the plan, it WILL happen!

surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 308 GW: 150

Just went out to Water the shrubs. It's so hot I almost soaked myself with the hose in the front yard. I really miss chugging icy cold water. : (

      🥳 Jan 1 2025 - Day 1 of Pre Op, surgery on the 16th! 😬😅

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
