High Protein Food Choices--When You Really Don't Like Shakes.....
Brandywine replied to Texarkolina's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love edamame, However my paper work reads dry edamame.... can we eat raw... I love it! Im 6 weeks out tues -
So I've been doing so good with food nothing bothers me, last night I took one bite too much im guessing and it got stuck in my throat lower area. Had to throw up .... Tonight at dinner same thing chicken was going down nicely then one more bite. Got stuck! Had to throw up. I'm 6 weeks out and can't figure out how much I can hold yet, any suggestions on how to find out or how much we can hold, I know everyone is different but some kind of gauge would be nice! Thanks y'all!

Hi guys, saw my Dr. today and it went great down 29 lbs in a month could not be happier and now onto eating soft foods but after a month of liquid anything sounds good Anyways, Larry at my Dr. office suggested we do a pic on our bathroom mirror (recent one) so we see it everyday... and every 3 months add a new one under the old, this is because we tend to "see" the same old person everyday in that mirror even though we are changing drastically, this is too remind us of our amazing effort and progress even if that darn scale isnt moving our bodies are changing and we need to remind our selves daily... Thanks Larry! And best of luck to you all! xoxox

Feel Like I'm A Failure
Brandywine replied to mufasas-mom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are doing fantastic, however I know what you mean.... I was 240 and 233 day of surgery today I went up a lb to 218 so far 27 since pre op and surgery was sept 25 th. I've lost 16 after .... I have the same thoughts too but trying not to focus on it. My good friend in NJ lost 45 in two months I'm nowhere near her! Lol anyways, I like you did tell people around me, lets face it they will figure it out anyways and I feel people are just waiting to know how much I've lost! I might tell people I don't know, not weighing .... Maybe you can too . Hang I'm there you will be laughing at this day in a few months! It is a huge adjustment physically emotionally and mentally!

Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call
Brandywine replied to newgrandmother's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi all! I posted in this one way earlier . Ill be a mth out tues yay!!! Dr on weds and looking forward to moving from liquid diet!!!!! Done! I'm about 26 lbs w pre and post op so far. I'm totally getting protein in about 70/ 90 a day because I pretty much only do protein shakes! Ugh!!! Lol anyways I feel like my water is low though possibly 40/ 50 oz a day. Am I the only one having trouble getting water in when out and about, if I'm home I'm good about it.... If I run errands or carpool kids whatever we moms do I forget! Anyways, I have been reading about everyone having a relationship w a Nutritionist. I'm jealous! I got a phone call w her and an email w info and have emailed her a question or two since. She lives in FL and I'm in California! Wth! Anyways thanks for support and answering questions all the time! Hope everyone is doing well. I'm glad I did this just ready to feel "normal" again! Xo -
