Essentially I haven't lost weight in almost a year. I work out on an elliptical 2-3 times a week and walk on the other days for a total of at least five days a week. I eat small portions still about...
I am days away from my one year anniversary of the pre-op liquid diet and found myself on this site today so I figured I would update my status.
Prior to surgery I was on 3 blood pressure pills...
I surround myself with appropriate foods. I give in to my cravings or hunger all the time but the difference is that I reach for the right foods. Sweet cravings? A handful of dry cereal or a...
I think BMI is BS. Yes it is a guide and should be used sparingly. Here is how I backup my statement. I was 240 pounds with a BMI of 37. Now I am 175 and my BMI is 26.6. I have a 32 inch waist...
Yes, I suffered from "Dumping" it does go away after a while. Now I only get it once in a great while. Eating ice cream is not a sin if you just have it once in awhile. I cruise on Royal Caribbean...
I would say the headaches are your caffeine withdrawal and will subside over the next few days. As to the pain near the incisions, I would call my surgeon if I were you. I had no pain whatsoever...
I am 11 months post-op and I get hungry a lot. Head hunger and stomach hunger both. When I feel "Snacky" I reach for the limited foods that I allow myself and that I keep close at hand.
I find...
I had a dinner out while on pre-op liquid diet and was fine. I had lean meat no starch and some veggies. You won't ruin anything with one meal.
I am one week out from my one year anniversary of beginning my liquid diet, pre-surgery. I completely know what you are going through. You will never look back. This surgery is nothing short of...
6 more months would be acceptable. I don't understand why with the amount of calories I consume and expend but it is what it is.
Yes the 30/30 rule is no liquids 30 minutes before or after food intake. I've heard 15 minutes is good too and sometimes I have to admit I'm closer to that than 30, given my hectic eating schedule...
I am about 6 days shy of my 3 month sleeversary and wanted to let the forum know how things are going for me.
I first would like to say that the pre-op and post-op experience could not have gone...
I travel for work and I need powder to take as opposed to ready made shakes. I am having a tough time finding ones that meet the criteria my surgery group requires. They want it to contain 18-20...
Yesterday I had my breakfast. I think I had two tablespoons of cottage cheese and two tablespoons of baby food prune puree. I went outside to trim my hedges and every time I bent down, I got dizzy...
I will wait for the real thing. So far nothing I liked before is not appealing to me I don't think. I am just not hungry that much so I am not missing too much of anything since I want nothing.
When I was on Optifast I would wake up in the middle of the night 2X and now post op I don't and I am drinking nearly 48 ounces if not a bit more of Crystal Light as in pre-op diet. It should slow...
Hi all,
I'm Steve and I had my surgery on Jun 12, 2012 here in Northern Virginia at Bariatric Weight Loss LAP BAND Gastric Bypass Surgery Washington DC Northern Virginia
Anyone else on here?
My approach is totally different and as of yet since I am only one week post op, I have not been out eating in public. I would have said that I has WLS and been proud of it as I really am proud.
...
From my understanding and I am day 5 post surgery, you will be able to have that BBQ sandwich and beer. Maybe two to three bites and a half a beer but there are no food restrictions with the sleeve...
Hi,
I had previously been looking into a LAP band procedure and stumbled upon the Gastric Sleeve. I had never heard of it and now after looking at the info I am beginning to consider it. I...
Mostly the same information from me as a US hospital patient. The two hours seems pretty standard across the country. In that time you go over any information not previously discussed, at my...
Good luck and welcome to the forum. You will mourn food for a minute and that's about it.
Every morning pre-sleeve, I would wake up and be the only one stirring about, sit in my kitchen with my dog and my computer, check on emails and surf the web and drink my coffee. Gatorade is not the...
If you are trying to remember how to use which word "Loose" or "Lose" One way is: Lost has one "O" as does the word used for when you lose something. It lost the "O."
I had my sleeve done on Tuesday. I took advantage of the pain meds in the hospital but when they asked me to rate the pain I kinda told a fib just to get groggy to help me rest and pass the time...
