You are in the right place - VST - for support, compassion, everything that is positive. As Chilihot59 said, hang in there and think of all things you want to do and will able to do. My dr's. all said I should consider WLS since I have tried...and tried to lose weight on my own and haven't been that successful. I am glad I did. I was sleeved on June 26 (8 weeks post op & counting), started at 289lbs...surgery weight 267lbs...as of today 226lbs. You can do it. And VST is in your corner.

I will give this a try... after I get all the players. Sounds good tho.

This Is My Food Journal For July (What Could I Change If Anything)?
CoolBreeze replied to CoolBreeze's topic in Food and Nutrition
@ dorrie robles - Appreciate that. Cut out the potatoes, got it. -
There have been confusing report on whether or not as WLS patients we can or can not have Pasta. My NUT says not for about 6months. Others have said not at all (ever!). It's a bit conflicting. I love pasta - wheat is my fave. I'm so confused Has anyone else had or heard conflicting stories on whether or not we can eat pasta....at some point?
-
. that my problem too.
-
Thanks everyone for your responses, remarks. It is greatly appreciated.
-
I was thinking that if I do eat some pasta, it would be one of my favorites...bow tie or spiral (I forget the Italian name for them). And would limit it to 1 cup a month (OMG...did I say that - a month !!). It's for the greater good - in me
-
@ lynneo @ likasulema @ carolc Thank you. I guess if I haven't eaten any since surgery, I can wait another 4 months. I miss my pasta tho
-
I love chicken thighs. I love seafood (crab (imitation too), shrimp, scallops. Need new ways to fix them. Especially shrimp toast (doctor says I can eat wheat bread as long as its toasted). Why not have the best of both. I would like to get a recipe for New England Clam Chowder (oh yeah, I like clams too ). Any ideas/recipes will be greatly appreciated and used. Thanks
-
Wow I never thought about doing that, thanks

Salsa chicken souds delish...gotta work up to salmon tho
-
Thank you, since ceviche is something I wanted to try for awhile, I'll give it a try.
-
What type of cheese did you use? Was it singles or you sliced it yourself? I prefer cheddar or parm. This I will try.

What Is Everybody Having For Lunch?
CoolBreeze replied to Lauranbob Mc's topic in Food and Nutrition
Ok, I'm 4 days late but... this was my lunch for Aug. 23 - meatloaf - 3oz -(93/7 lean), mashed potato (1/4 cup), 1/4 cup brocolli. 30 min. later unsweetened green tea (2 splenda paks). -
Carbs, calories, fat.... with all these things to look out for, what should the grams of sugar be? It seems some bars have as much sugar as they do Protein. If the sugar content is as high, if not higher, wouldn't that defeat the protein grams?

Share Your Tummy Tuck Journey..

I will follow this topic closely, I'm 8 weeks post op so this subject is down the road but gathering information now doesn't hurt either. -
Sleeping On Your Tummy
CoolBreeze replied to pinkbwlr16's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It took me a little longer to sleep on my stomach. I'm 8 weeks post-op and I did not sleep on stomach until the 5th week. And I still mostly sleep on my sides. For some reason I'm still not completely comfortable sleeping on my stomach. -
Sounds like an adventure and a fun one at that. I can't afford a personal trainer but with my doctor's advice and planning I could do some of things you're doing, just in moderation (I'm 8 weeks post op on Sunday (26th) so my doc says not so fast. But I can do cardio as well as my walking and maybe add a bit of weight lifting (2-3lb weights). Much success to you and keep us posted.

In Serious Pain, What Can I Take
CoolBreeze replied to melissamae99's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You should call your doctor and let her/him know what's going with you. I had pain like that and I thought it was because something happened to my sleeve, but luckily nothing was wrong there. CALL YOUR DOCTOR....PLEASE -
Some Workout & Weight Loss Inspiration & A Zero Impact (On Your Joints) Exercise :)
CoolBreeze replied to nyxa's topic in Fitness & Exercise
how much $$ does the video cost? -
Hello fellow Sleevers. Gotta question. I have been noticing - here on VST and personally that when people talk about being vegetarian most (and in my family too) talk about NOT eating meats. But some say they eat fish/chicken/turkey/seafood. Most, that I talked to, do not consider these things meats. Can a vegetarian explain just what makes a vegetarian? And what considered meat (other than the obvious) not considered meat? I am eating veggie burgers (Morning Star Famrs products), chicken thighs, turkey (roasted, grilled, slice (lean)), as well as eggs and soy/egg based Protein shakes (those I can tolerate). This I have been doing since May (was sleeved on June 26, 2012). Thanks.

Well from what I am reading so far, I'm the 'Flexitarian'. I have not eaten red meat in such a while that I am afraid that if I did now, I would be sick. I really don't miss it. I go by McDonald's on my way to work each morning and would actually like to get a fish sandwich or a fruit/yogurt cup. I'll stay in the 'Flexitarian'. Thank you all for your comments, much appreciated

Well I Made It On The Loser's Bench!
CoolBreeze replied to SweetQui's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats of becoming a Sleever . It was hard for me to get comfortable especially on my left side - that the side my doctor said he removed my stomach from one of the incisions. It will get better. As for the water, just continue to sip sip sip sip as much as you can, no need to force it. Those SF popsicles are great, I keep at least 2 boxes of them in the freezer.
