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?

My dr told me to have Miralax everyday. Also, if you mix prune juice and apple juice together and heat it up that works great! Just make sure to get the no sugar added juices.

Had my bypass 31st. Woke up from the operation thinking they hadnt done it yet lol. The gas pain was ok and there was very little nausea. I think I had a good recovery, could drink liquids right after, no problems. Post op 1 day I was back at home . But I have to do those anti clotting injections myself for 20 days, that sucks. And the liquid diet is hard with head hunger. I don't drink shakes because the one I have give me gas.

I put my scale away until my next appt (Nov 17). Anyone else? I know I’m doing everything I am supposed to do and the weight will come off. I started getting frustrated, weighing multiple times a day and I got sick of it, lol! Last time I looked on 10/30 I was 203lbs (down 40 lbs from starting weight and 10 from surgery on 10/19).

Yes I am bad for hopping on the scale OFTEN. And even though yes we are losing, it's hard to not get disappointed. I just had my first post-OP appointment today and had my drain taken out, I was surprised to see today that I am down 18 pounds since my surgery on Oct 26th.

I didn’t do the shakes either but quickly realized that they help tremendously just keep buying one at a time until you find one you like so far the one I like is
Fa!rlife (chocolate) one shake will last me either 2 meals or sometimes 3

same! i put my scale away a couple days ago and plan to just do weekly weigh ins on tuesdays (that was the day I had my surgery)

i hear around the 3 week mark (where I am) there is a weight loss stall phenomena called the "dreaded 3 week stall" it doesn't happen to everyone. I decided I didn't want to step on the scale daily and get frustrated

anyone not get their cycle after surgery? i'm two days late and haven't started it yet. I usually get my period like clockwork. No chance of pregnancy

I had my VSG done on 10/29. The first few days were bad with the gas, and me wondering if I made a huge mistake. I got my drain out yesterday and have felt so much better. During my first couple of days of feeling like I made a horrible decision. I Google and found this site, and am so happy I have.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. The gas will continue to subside and you’ll get feeling better every day.

You are wise. There are just so many factors affecting small fluctuations in weight day to day so weekly is the wiser choice. I My personal journey has me up and down one to two daily only to lose 4-5 by weeks end. I'm on the week three diet right now and I am curious what will happen when I start introducing food. I dropped 10 during pre-op with a total of 34lb since starting the process.

Something else I used to mention to clients back in my personal training days (many, many moons ago obviously if I had a VSG), is to be sure to weigh at the same time every day. People tend to weigh less in the morning, but you can also do evening. It is less about the number on the scale than the differential from one weigh in and the next.

24 days out, I have hit the stall! Only down .2lbs in 4 days!

Looking forward to the wooosh.

I was surprised when I weighed myself today, Day 18 after surgery and only down 14lbs! I wasn’t told to be on any sort of diet before the surgery except for a liquid diet 1 day prior to surgery.

Is it unusual to loose so slowly?

[Deb9386 110]

I've only lost 10lbs since surgery 16 days ago. I was quite pleased with this!? I'm only managing to take in about 800 calories per day and was told to do 800-1000, so I guess it's just down to the individual. Some will lose more, some less?
