Topic: ***HELLO OUT THERE***
Where have all of my November Pre Ops gone now that they are Post Op? I can remember we posted EVERYDAY before we had surgery and now that all if not most of us have had our surgeries, Ive seen very little posting from the November surgery group!
How is everyone doing? How much weight has everyone lost?

Topic: RE: 5 weeks out!
Hi! I had surgery 2 days after you. At this point, you really shouldn't be eating many fruits or veggies....or red meat (unless it's ground up in like chili or something). A few questions though...how much did you lose before surgery? Are you getting in your protein? Are you exercising? The basic rule is to get in your protein first, then veggies, then starch (preferably good carbs, not bad). 6 ounces seems like an awful lot to be eating right now. I'm lucky if I can get in 1/4 cup while I'm eating. If I'm eating soup or something liquidy, I can usually get in a little more....but after 1/4 cup I start feeling nausiated and things start getting "stuck". Are you not feeling full??
Topic: RE: 5 weeks out!
We are told to never eat more than 1/2 cup at a time which is 4 ounces. I think 6oz of red meat at once is way too much! We are not allowed to eat fruit or veggies until 6 weeks out. I am eating chicken, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, tuna, jello, pudding and protein shakes. I am 4 weeks out today and am down 28 pounds. Check with your Dr/Nut! Best Wishes and DO NOT GIVE UP! :-)

Topic: RE: 5 weeks out!
I had my RNY the week after you. I am down 21 since surgery... My dr has very strict guidelines and I am just now approaching "full liquids"... i would say that 6 oz of meat is a bit too much. I would call your nutritionist / dr and ask for suggestions. Maybe you aren't getting enuf water in. It could be due to so many things...
Good Luck, keep us updated....

Topic: RE: 3 week post op appt/What are you eating and your weight! Am I on the right track!
I'm 3 weeks and 2 days out. I am down 27 lbs.
I am on the mushy/soft food diet. It's been
kind of hard for me pacing myself eating, but I guess
it's trial and error getting used to my new stomach.
My fav's so far are
WENDY'S Chile
El Pollo Loco Chicken tortilla soup
and of course mashed potatoes
We are all doing awesome! Kudos to us!

Topic: 5 weeks out!
OK! I had surgery on Nov 18 everything went great. Went back to work that Friday and had surgery that Tuesday.
I have not lost any weight in 2 weeks. I know we have stalls but I was not expecting on this early out and for this long. I am not sure what I am doing wrong will someone PLEASE help me get back on the losers path?
I have been eating Meat, Fruits, and Veg. That is it. I have not attempted to eat any BAD stuff. I am scared because I am not even losing eating the right stuff. Am I eating to much or what? I have just ate lunch and had 1 and a half of a hamburger. Is that to much. I asked someone here at the office that used to be a chef and he said it was probally about 6 oz. . I want so bad to lose weight and feel that I am not doing it as fast as the other you that had it done close to the same time.
I lost 25 pounds in 3 weeks and not a pound since!!!

Topic: RE: feeling bloated but still hungry??????
I had the band surgery on the 18th of November. I understand the hungry part. there are times when I feel like I can eat a house - but after a couple of bites I am back to being full.
There is definately a difference between "head" hungry and your body actually needing food - this was my major hurdle. I would think its noon - time for lunch!! But while making something to eat - I would realize - i really dont want this. But if you are hungry - talk to your doctor. I am sure he/she would love to hear from you. It may be time for an adjustment for your band. You can also try talking to the dietitian - they may have some insight for you! Best of luck to you!
