Anyone for October 2020?

[chrispat123 11]

I am 16 days and 14 lbs too!

I started at 233. I think we are in the middle as far as weight loss goes. I've seen people lose more and less. I am happy with the 14 lbs as long as it continues! When you think about it, its almost 1 lbs a day, kinda crazy.

Two days post op and I'm back home now. Managing pain Ok. The worst pain I had was from the hiatal hernia repair that was done at the same time as the VSG. Wow ouch. It's still hard to take a deep breath. Now I'm just working on getting in enough Clear Liquids to stay hydrated, getting up to walk around, and trying to get some sleep. I can't seem to get comfortable in bed! Hope all the October folks are doing well!

Omg yes!!!! Still it feel different and hurts sometimes I have to keep remember I can’t drink or eat anything unless I am fully upright. Hopefully it will start to subside mine did about 6 days post op.

I am 16 days post op (Sleeve) I only lost 14lbs so far. I feel like my clothes are looser but the scale doesn't seem to move. Preop weight was 222. Triple zero greek yogurt for Breakfast 2 Protein Shakes and 1/2 cup of heart healthy pea Soup for dinner. I have been getting close to 32ozs of Water. What am I doing wrong??

Sent from my SM-N981U using BariatricPal mobile app

When I started this whole process I was at 230 day of surgery 222 current weight 208 dr was very happy and he said looks good. Once I start eating he said that the weight lost will be 1-2 lbs a week. For the next 6 month to one year.

I had my 10/26 too. How's it going for you? So far I've completely dodged the gas pains.

I had mine on the 26th! Pretty good with pain - but shakes and liquids take forever to get down. I manage like 1 shake a day.

10/20 1 week 4 days post op

[Brittanyanne12 16]

Just had mine on Oct 26th!! 5 days post-op, I have been doing well on liquids, but I am lactose intolerant prior to surgery so shakes are next to impossible.. I've tried to force it and end up nauseated or a quick trip to the restroom.. I have ordered some Protein Soups and Gelatin from this website that will be here next week, hopefully can just suffer through until then!

I had the horrible gas pains and for the first 2 days post OP I was EXTREMELY nauseous and vomited pretty much all the time.. It was miserable! BUT! I have been on full liquid diet for 2 days, it's going good, but I do have a really hard time with Protein Shakes. I was lactose intolerant prior to surgery, so it's been near impossible to drink them and I've tried several. So right now I'm just trying to stay hydrated and eat what I can, and struggle through until I can start eating protein! So I have lost 5.7KG since Monday!

Good morning m, got a question. For those in the purée face. Is anyone else not going to the bathroom with #2. It’s day 2 for me. I’m not feeling bad or any pain I just need things moving. Has anyone added any tea or something else?

I’ve had some movement but it’s not routine. I’ve been drinking coffee even on the liquid phase. Have you tried some fruit purées? That might help.
