August Post Ops

[bloreorbust 286]

I've only went over into 900 cal. two times. Then I try to make sure I don't do that if at all possible. I just need more Protein n fluids. I usually get the protein but never hav I got too 64Oz of Fluid a day. I'm not a big drinker some days I do better than others.

I've only had one other day like that, too. But honestly MFP helped me do exactly the right thing which was see where I could have made better choices and recommit. I can't tell myself I don't need to food log anymore, that's for sure!

My surgery was the 6th of August also...started at 322...day of surgery 303 and today 258.6....feeling great!!!

Finally felt well enough to walk and do more today after surgery healing followed by cold/flu. I burned more calories than I ate for sure. May the scale get back on the move!

Wow Becky!!! U r doing great! Med n.u r the same day, so Wat r u doing.. Like how many Cal a day? Do u get ur 64oz if Fluid? N all ur Protein? Have u had any stalls?.

Sorry for all the questions. But my dr. said I should be down 60 but i'm only down 40. I've had 3 or 4 different stalls.

My dr didn't give me a certain number of pounds I should have lost...I think your right on track!

I'm sorry to hear you're still in pain and that you still have that horrible drainage tube. Did your Dr say why you ave to keep the tube in? Mine was removed at my 2 week check up. I feel nauseous most days and certain smells make me queasy but I can eat a little more than I did weeks ago. The key for me is chewing' date=' it works but if I can't get it to mushy then I have to spit it out. Sorry so gross but its true.[/quote']

Sorry just seeing this. My doctor wasn't pacific on the reasoning for the tube being place. However the tube fell out on its own 5 days ago and they want to place another one stating I. May need it to feed myself! I refused to allow the tube being ace back in. I feel ok. Still finding it hard to drink and eat. When will it get better?

Hey guys!

How often post op do you see your bari doctors?

I've seen mine once and I had my surgery 8/5. I'm thinking about switching doctors though, the place I went through is 2 hours away and there's a less expensive dr in town.

Also at time of surgery I was 304 and I'm down to 260 as of today went from a size 28 to a 18 and a 3x to a XL. Definitely feels surreal.

Congrats on everyone's loss! It's still hard to process that I'm post op now lol. Drinking and getting Protein in is still hard but I so as much as I can to get everything in

They scheduled me to come in at:

-3 weeks

-100 days

-6 months

-9 months

-1 year

But really it is up to you when you go after surgery. They told me feel free to come in for a checkin between those times if I wished.

I'm sorry to hear tey want to put it back in and that you made need it to feed yourself. I've lost track I'm either 7 or 8 weeks out and have been cleared to eat anything but my new pouch is so fickle so I try to stock with moist chx, fish and ground turkey but I chew until its puréed. Some days are better than others. Smells make me nauseous ad so do certain foods. I can drink a little more than the baby sip but I'm still a work in progress. So each day you will get better a little more pain will subside and eventually you will begin to feel somewhat normal. Granted I still slime from time to time but I'm getting better. Just be patient. I pushed myself to move around and to get in my fluids and meds and still do to this day. Eventually we all adjust. Keep on striving and you'll do great! Best of luck to you! Oh try the small 8 ounce bottles of Water or a tumbler cup so you can measure your fluids better and not feel overwhelmed. I've even started drinking more Decaf tea because water doesn't taste as good as it use to but it's slowly tasting better.
