When was your surgery? I am 2 months post op.
My eating is pretty much the same every day:
Breakfast:
Protein shake (Premier Protein - Chocolate; 160 cals, 30g Protein, 1g carb)
morning snack:
a cheese stick
OR
some veggie straws (a lower carb solution to potato chips when I'm craving something salty) with hummus
*snack depends on if I'm feeling a lil hungry or if I'm at work vs. at home - much easier to have the cheese stick at work!
Lunch:
greek yogurt. I like Fage - 0% with strawberry or the new Fruyo blended kind with pineapple.
a piece of fruit - I've been hitting up the farmers market, so I have variety. Peaches, berries, cantaloupe, apple...
*If I have an apple for lunch, it's usually with Peanut Butter, so that's all I'll have with the yogurt.
and when the mood strikes, I have sandwiches - I use Flatout Flatbread, half a slice, which is only 45-50cals and 8-9 carbs. I usually have hummus on it with turkey, avocado, spinach.. whatever I have. It's small portions, though, obviously!
Dinner:
This is where I change up my routine. I make homemade Soups, or something with eggs (mini quiche, scrambles, etc), I also like vegetarian options (but I'm not a vegetarian), especially anything by the brand Gardein. Their burgers are AMAZINGLY good - taste like the real thing, with wayyy less fat/calories!
and then I'll have another shake at some point in the afternoon/evening to keep my protein intake up.
I think it's important to get your fresh fruits and veggies in - as soon as I was able to include that in my diet, I was much more "regular" with my bathroom business (if ya catch my drift).
Hope that helps!

As a woman, I can say that I can't want to see penises growing bigger and longer after I start losing weight too!

Made this today, thought I would share! You can add in other goodies as your diet allows - I would like to try it with different veggie/cheese combinations!



Mini crustless quiche
makes: 4 servings

ingredients:
4 slices of prosciutto, very thinly sliced!
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1 slice american cheese (2% or skim milk cheese would be best)
1 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste (I also put in a bit of garlic powder - optional)
*note: prosciutto is very salty on its own and you do not need much added salt in this recipe. In fact, you might want to skip salt altogether and just salt the finished product if it's needed

instructions:
spray 4 ramekins with cooking spray
in the bottom of each ramekin, loosely pile one slice of prosciutto in each ramekin
in a medium bowl, beat the 4 eggs and ricotta cheese together, season with salt and pepper to taste.
pour mixture evenly over the prosciutto in the ramekins.
tear apart and distribute bits of the american cheese among all 4 ramekins and top with parmesan cheese and one last bit of fresh cracked black pepper.

Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 13-15m or until toothpick comes out clear. Allow to rest for a couple of minutes. They should pop right out of the ramekin since you sprayed them first!

per My Fitness Pal:
per 1 serving:
148 calories
8.4g fat (you could cut this down if you use egg whites)
1.4g carbs
13.2 g Protein

Who on here is considering lapband? lol - not true from what I've seen!!
I chose sleeve over band because I didn't want to bother with fills, I didn't want a foreign object in my body, it has higher long-term complication rates and from what I've seen on this forum, many people are dissatisfied with their weight loss from the band and get a revision to the sleeve.
I chose sleeve over RNY because RNY makes you sick. It makes you sick if you want to enjoy something you 'shouldn't'. It makes you sick because your body can't absorb Vitamins and minerals the same way and you suffer nutritional deficits that can be life long. And I didn't want my intestines cut up. With RNY, your stomach is still there, meaning it might NOT take your hunger away and it has a chance of stretching your pouch so that you gain weight - but still have to deal with the nutritional deficits because you can eat as much as before, but your body isn't getting the nutrients it needs from your food. It's harder to find a balance with that surgery.
I chose sleeve for ME because it offers what I need: portion control! I'm 3 wks post op and I feel like I eat like I did before, as far as the size of bites. I drink the same as well, I haven't had any nausea, vomiting, food intolerance... in short, my recovery has been great. The sleeve, IMO, offers a more 'normal' post op life. Once I'm done with my stages, i can eat pretty much whatever I want, just a LOT less of it. Of course, I've made changes to what I'll eat. I'll make healthy choices more often than not, but if I want to have cake on my birthday, it won't make me violently ill (like with RNY). Plus, I wanted a permanent tool. I don't see the point (for me) in getting a band because I think the big selling point with the band is that it's "reversible", meaning you can have another uncomfortable surgery to remove the band, when I need something that will help me for the rest of my life. So between the band or the permanent surgeries, I chose something permanent. And, for me, the pros/cons of VSG vs. RNY are clearly in favor of VSG.
Everyone is different and has different opinions, obviously. It's smart to check out all your options before committing to anything.
Good luck!

I don't think this is a bad idea, especially since (I assume) your MD knows about your surgical history. This med CAN be addictive (it's an amphetmine, after all), so it's good that he's only giving it to you for a month. If you see results/success using it, then it's definitely worthwhile to use!!!
Since we're not judging here, I'll tell you that I used Phentermine WITHOUT my surgeons knowledge to get me through the pre-op liquid diet phase. THAT is a bad choice, but I didn't want to ruin my surgery plan by telling him and I didn't want to cheat on my pre-op liquid diet.
I'm only 2 months out, so right now I feel like I'm on track. IF I get to a point where I'm not doing what I need to do and need that extra kick, I would consider using Phentermine again. I'm not proud of using it pre-op without telling anyone (I got the rx from a weight loss clinic in my area, so my PCP and surgeon didn't know I was using it), but it got me to where I need to be and I'm thankful for that!
I hope this helps you, and if you feel like you need to use it again, I encourage you to take a month or two off before restarting it, to avoid an addiction to it. People think "Oh it's a weight loss drug, it's fine.." but it's actually a pretty powerful stimulant and your body WILL start to rely on it if you take it for a prolonged amount of time.
I wish you the best of luck with it!!
ps - stop with the soda! i know, you know it's bad... but especially on Phentermine you DON'T need the extra caffeine. You'll give yourself palpitations! (IDK if Mr. Pibb has caffeine, tho... I was never a fan of that particular soda)

I told my mom about my 50lb milestone yesterday and she said, "See, you don't even need surgery. You can do it on your own."
I told her, "Having surgery is still doing it on my own." And then all day I'm questioning myself if I really believe that.
Part of the reason that I don't want people to know I'm having surgery is because I don't want people thinking I didn't work for it. I know, I know, I shouldn't be bothered by what other people think... easier said than done.

Waxing was painful the first couple of times, but you get used to it over time. It was painful the first time I plucked my eyebrows, but that's no problem now.
I love getting waxed. The slight sting is almost like therapy... and I love the smoothness and how my hair grows in finer and softer now. Try it!

The pic on the left was taken 9/22/12. I was at my highest weight. Two months later, I went to my weight loss seminar to start my journey.
The pic on the right was taken 9/28/13. I had surgery almost 5 months ago, on 5/2/13.
From my highest weight, I've lost 116 lbs.
I feel like a new, different, better, happier version of myself.
I never aspired to be a size 2. Or hell, a size 12.
My goal for this surgery has never been a certain weight or a certain size.
I just wanted to have more confidence. To see myself the way I wanted to see myself. To feel cute. To feel beautiful again (because I've always known I'm beautiful! At any size!)
So although I'm still overweight and still need to lose more than 100lbs, I can't tell you how great I already feel. Yes, I'll keep working on me. Yes, I'm excited to see exactly what I can do with this body. I am motivated and looking forward to seeing where I'll be in another year.
But most importantly, for me, I'm ENJOYING MY LIFE. And for me, if I don't lose another single pound, I will have had all the success I could have dreamed of from this surgery. People are taking notice how damn fly I am. It's about time!!
I'm trying to prepare myself for the big changes... cuz I know more are around the corner. Life just gets better and better and better!!!

thank you, everyone. You're all too kind w the compliments!
I feel great - that's the best success for me!

My man is a card-carrying American from the deep South. His diet consists of: Fried chicken, Bacon, Mash Taters (as he likes to call them), Gravy, Collard Greens (which he can't get in the UK), Beef, Burgers, Ribs, Hog Roast, Chickens (usually eaten whole), Red Bull, coffee by the gallon load and if he could get him some pie... He'd be chowing down on that every evening, too. (I have promised to make him some, soon, when I am not craving anything which isn't a yoghurt/protein thing.)
He loves me - fat, thin or indifferent. He knows I eat waaaay more healthily than he does (and this was before my surgery and will continue on afterwards). The gross injustice of it all, is that whilst I was eating my 5 portions of fruit and veg a day, nice lean Protein and admittedly faaaar too many carbs; I was the fat one and he, who has the metabolism of an athlete, was as lean as a fighting machine. (Although, in truth, I suspect his BP is up and his cholesterol levels aren't so clever.)
But, I had the surgery and I am eating what I should and what I can. 4 days after surgery, I even stood in the kitchen and made him a roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings (and made him eat a whacking great portion of veg as compensation for my cooking it! Ha!)
My advice? If you're doing most of the shopping and cooking, you cook what YOU want to cook. In fairness, most men don't care what's served up to them, as long as it's tasty and filling and they don't have to cook it. If your man desires a bit of badness? Let him. Just don't be around him when he eats it. My man brought some fries home one evening and I was nearly beating my chest with frustration and crying my eyes out with longing. It turns out, it wasn't the fries I was craving. It was the salt. So I went into the kitchen and broke off a bit of a bullion cube and put it in my mouth. Job done.
As Endless identified; if you're on the way to checking out before you have this done, it isn't going to get much better afterwards. Searching for 'valid' reasons to call it a day under the guise of 'well, you just don't want to share my healthy endeavours', is both weak and unfair to him. If you have nagging doubts which aren't related to the surgery and diet, have the balls to evaluate what it is that's bothering you and tell him accordingly. He deserves that much, at least?
Wish you the best of luck x

Please...Please...put yourself first! I kind of chuckle when you said you been dating a a lot. I did the same thing when I lost about 90lbs. I was loving all the attention.. And gain it all back and some. Don't lose focus. The men will be there after.. And you can continue to date but be more aware of YOUR goal.

Like Gamergirl said cut yourself some slack. Do the things you need to like getting your Protein in and water( like isereno said find some portable protein to take with you), buy gummy vitamins to take you might enjoy them, and have the guys take you out dancing or roller skating or hiking...... just saying you can have fun and get in your exercise. Enjoy your weight loss and never forget that you are doing it for you, so can continue to enjoy life.

Thank you for your replies.
SassyTink, Yes, I do have some health issues related to my obesity. I have edema in my legs and feet, RA in my feet, arthritis in the rest of my body. I have sleep apnea.
Thanks for getting my mind off of how I'll look and back onto my health issues.
makemyownluck, You are so right. I wouldn't have even signed on for this if I didn't think that I needed it in the first place.
I didn't mention that I signed into wl surgery programs in the past and have always dropped out. One reason being, or so I thought, b/c I didn't want the roux-en-y. Well, now I got my wish: My insurance now covers the vertical sleeve. And, here I go again, talking myself out of the operation.
I'm going for it.
Thank you everyone for helping me out here.

Drink some Gatorade and eat a banana! Rule out dehydration and potassium first. I do martial arts and I get the same exact cramps when I am lacking. I take a potassium supplement now and make sure I am drink drink drinking!

So it's been about 4 1/2 months since my surgery. I'm down 112 lbs since November 2012. I haven't seen my surgeon since my 2 week follow up appointment. I say it's because he's all the way in Chicago (a 45m - 1 1/2h drive depending on the time of day) but I sure didn't have a problem making those pre-op appointments!!... in the winter... with the snow... So, I'll fess up here and say I haven't gone because I know I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I feel like for everything I do right, I'm going something wrong.
I'm getting in my Protein, but I'm also skipping my Vitamins A LOT. I just forget to take them. I don't know why this has started happening, I took so much stuff pre-op like clockwork and never had this problem. Post-op absent mindedness, perhaps? Anyway, while I haven't seen my surgeon, I have been getting my blood work with my more conveniently located PCP. I just had blood drawn yesterday, I'll see him on Tuesday and find out if I'm seriously deficient anywhere due to my lack of consistent Vitamin use...
Also, I'm getting exercise in the form of walking, but haven't been to my gym in at least 2 months. It might be more like 3 months... why? I have no idea. I'll go walk a trail for a couple miles, but I have no motivation to go lift weights. I've been seriously slacking on my workouts for a while. I'm not sure I ever got back on track after surgery, although I was getting it in when I was testing my limits while recovering. It just dropped off when summer really kicked in.
A big part of that is because I've been dating. A LOT. I've had more male affection in the past 2-3 months than I've had in my life for the past 5-6 years. It's been amazing, enlightening, exhausting, a little painful and overall lots of fun. I feel like I need to slow down and shift the focus back to myself. I like something about each of the few guys I'm seeing, but none of them is the full package or giving me that 'spark' that I want to feel with the person I'm with.
I know there are a lot of people who will want to criticize or judge me for dating, for slacking on my diet and exercise, for being a bit promiscuous. I know this because I find myself thinking harshly of my own actions and wonder why I'm doing it... right now I need to build my ego a little bit. These men are helping me feel like a woman again. I've been single for so long, I've forgotten how to date. I still find myself not knowing what to say to guys on dates. I feel like I have no good stories to tell because I've wasted my life feeling too fat to participate in anything. So now that I'm down to a size that lots of men find attractive - tho I still have over 100lbs to lose, there are plenty of very attractive men who like a plus size figure - it's been a lot of fun receiving all of this attention! Considering how long I went without, this barely covers what I've missed out on. My recovery from this surgery reinforced my will to live and be happy living, which has meant less time in the gym and more time with a man... but it's all exercise, right? I mean, if I'm so tired I can't walk right the next day, doesn't that count for something? AM I REVEALING TOO MUCH?? lol...
I share all of this because I want pre-op people to know how quickly life changes... it's something I honestly didn't consider much and really couldn't imagine how different it would be. I have never been confident when it comes to men, I've been single most of my adult life, so this is all such a 360 from where I was even 3-4 months ago. It's wonderful, it's exciting, it's DISTRACTING. I let myself get off track with all this excitement. I'm glad only a few months have passed and now that I'm checking myself, I'm going to get back on track. But just know how fragile the lifestyle changes are.. you have to stay present. Don't take your eye off the prize.. I'm sorry for the time I've lost to work on myself, but I also know I had a lot of fun and don't regret having those experiences, either. I can't beat myself up about it. I'm human. Just gonna change course and carry on!
I'm going to write a memoir of this time in my life. And I promise to start taking my Vitamins.

I'm being careful - getting in my Protein, but strugging with the Water (I try). I've been eating okay but I do have some junk here and there, obviously only a bite or two, but literally only once or twice a month. I really have no appetite, I have to remind myself to eat to get my protein in. I've been steadily losing - had a couple stalls here and there, but haven't regained.
Overall, I think I'm doing okay.
Could do better. I'm gonna work on it!
