Possible pregnancy and only(almost)three months out
Frustr8 and one other reacted to PudgeBeGone for a post in a topic
I forgot to post this but when I woke up the line was gone so I assumed it was a false positive but am going to retest tomorrow thank you all I really do appreciate it I just still worry because auntie flow still hasn’t showed and since the first period after surgery she’s been pretty accurate. ❤️❤️ but before surgery it wasn’t abnormal for me to go months without her so maybe my hormones are still trying to regulate. -

After surgery questions 😊
Bianca S. reacted to zombieskayer for a post in a topic
1) I measure and weigh all my food. I eat slow and I can usually feel that it's my limited with my measured food. 2) So I use to do three meals a day BUT I wasn't hitting my calories because my pouch doesn't tolerate as much as it is suppose to and it was giving my some kidney issues. So I do breakfast.. 2 hours later a snack, then 2 hours later lunch, then 2 hours later a snack then 2 hours later dinner. My snacks in between are protein. Sometimes it'll be a protein bar or something. 3) I'm an assistant manager so if i'm in the mornings I'm by myself so I try to run back for a snack when no one is in the store. (I work in a small store) My team members are also aware of my need to eat often so they usually can cover the floor while I run in the back and get food. -

Lifestyle changing new food discoveries

Okay so even though it’s a bajillion degrees outside today, I made the “ramen” again for lunch. What I do is take a packet of the bariatric cream of chicken soup and add a scoop of beef bone broth. I run 8oz water though my Keurig then stir in some little torn up pieces of seaweed snacks (the wasabi flavor is full of awesomeness). Then I take my angel hair tofu, rinse in a colander form 30-60 seconds, throw in a bowl and microwave for about a minute. I don’t care if it’s wet because I’m gonna throw it into the broth anyway. I also added a dollop of wasabi (not pictured) into the cup to give it some pep. All in all, I’m only able to eat about half at a time, so it serves me 2 meals during my eating window. Each half gives me 14gm protein, 90 calories, 5 gm carbs. -

Eat really slow. Measure your food. If you think you’re full, you probably are. I just started soft food this week and it is like a full time job eating all day and waiting to drink and drinking enough and taking pills at the right time. Pack things that are quick and easy. I eat a lot of string cheese right now, yogurt, cottage cheese. I have been eating the crockpot shredded chicken I made earlier this week for several days. Boring maybe but so much better than all liquids I don’t really mind at all🤣 -
1 pointSomewhat akin to me going into Wally World or another department store and not taking the largest size on display. I am having some fun going from 20 to 18, BIG BIG SELECTION- and another good point- I originally had targeted size 15 Junior, at 18 it truly is Just Over The Horizon! And Sniff Sniff💦 I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD GET CLOSE, really was something I told PCP and surgeon to take them off my Trail! Now it could and probably Will Happen!

Vsg to rny

Yes, that is exactly how I feel. I had the VSG in December 2014. A month or so after I had horrible GERD and my “full sensor” was way off within about 6 months. I only lost about 45 pounds total in the last 4 years and decided to get the revision. I got the bypass a few weeks ago and immediately there was no sign of Gerd. I’m praying my weight loss is much better.
