Recommended Posts

So, let me understand because im 3wks out and i feel like im not losing weight. I lost most of minebefore surgery. I feel like im at a stall and even may have gained. Im still not having a bowel movement so thats not helping me feeling fuller. But so doing the 14 day liquid phase will jump start the weight lose again?

I'm 6months out... lost 60 pounds, everything was great! For about a month or so I've been off track and gained 3 pounds. Now I'm paying more attention to what I'm eating and trying to get my Protein in. I hope the weight starts to come off again

At three weeks out you shouldn't be worried about this:) most people stall at three weeks ( my stalk was three weeks long) but then it goes back to losing again! Keep on the plan your dr told you! You are so early- it does work I promise!

@@tenseintexas, thank you so much. Even though i dont think i took a quick way out, i dont understand how the people who go to Mexico deal with this. What im saying is i had to go through 6 months of nutrition classes, i didnt just hop on here and say give me tips. I had to go to a therapist to talk out any questions or if there was any eating issues down deep. Im not an emotional eater but what do those people do? Im having these thoughts at almost a month out so without any of that help, where would i be. This journey is definitely not something that i couldve taken without those tools and without this site. But back to my stall, so does everyone go through this? This is my problem i think, tell me if im wrong. Not only did he do my sleeve but he repaired a huge hernia that i didnt know i had. So idk if this is why but as of yet, i cant have a regular bowel movement and i cant get down but like 4-5 sips of Water before i get that fullness feeling and pain. Im nauseated all the time so i havent been able to get Proteins in but my dr said dont worry about that right now, hes just concerned about my fluids. Now i can crush my medicine and take that but i have to take zofran in order to get those down.

Yeah my dr wasn't worried about the Protein at all for like 3 weeks! And it was very hard for me to get liquids- and then it all changed and I drank lots of water---

I do think most people get that stall. I wouldn't even weigh week 3-5! I am not a big weigher so that's easier for me to say- but I lost one pound in three weeks- it was very frustrating- bit since then I have actually wanted the weight loss to slow down a bit- so don't worry!! It will happen!

Yes I don't think I got enough pre op help before I did his surgery. It's done now- but sometimes I think it's like I cut off my foot when I had a little itch. Ha! I was a low bmi and didn't have health problems- but had been overweight my whole life and knew I couldn't get it off myself. Anyway- I wish you the best of luck! It will come off - I promise you that

Oh and yeah- I have pooped like once a week since surgery - yikes.

Girl, how long have you had your surgery? See i like this form, but i need 1 person to just keep in toucb with, i really just want 1 person to keep track with. I stay away from the

scales. Ive been small all my life until they found out 5yrs ago that i have MS. They started with all the steriods and i ballooned from 145 to 298. Couldnt get it off on my own. Even with stopping the steriods and living with the pain. Thats what im doing now. But i know i can do it and i just have to get out and get my walking in.i dont have the room to get anymorefluids than i am in, so im doing what i can. Im use to seeing myself with no neck and fat face but everyone else is saying im losing it. But please lets keep in touch. Send me a friend request on fb. Pamela taite-pressey

      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.
