My doctor said I can have slick and slide food after surgery with no wait period. If it slide right off a plate I can have it. Anyone else cleared that early on? Makes me nervous because so many are on liquid only at this stage.

Looking for inspiration
tzepeda replied to tzepeda's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I actually only lost 20...29 was a typo. I've been getting on the treadmill 1-3 miles 5 days a week. I did start lifting some weights to firm up. -
I know we all complain about our speed of loss. I'm not complaining just looking for inspiration that it does move in the long run. I tell myself everyday that's its ok and I WILL lose. Hard to say when you have failed so many times before. I was sleeved 12/14/12 weighed 224 today and 204. I know 29 lbs in two months should make me excited. Anyone have some inspiration for a realt slow start?

I'm So Hungry On The Pre Op Diet Does It Get Easier After The Sleeve?
tzepeda posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I've done diets my whole life and yet I feel so hungry on Pre op. Why does this feel so much harder? Is it because in my mind I'm dealing with food separation issues? Please tell me I'm won't be starving forever -
I am going to try for dinner this week

Great link thank you

I Loved that ordered a salad with steak for dinner. Best part was when the waitress kept asking is your dinner OK.....Do you need a to go box? I know some are uncomfortable in those situations but to me it's a reminder that I no longer eat huge portions. I also order because of taste not because I want the biggest serving to fill me up.

This week is my first week traveling for work since surgery. The way I used to survive was either drinking, eating, or all the above. Now I'm in my room trying not to eat because of boredom. Brought my shoes to get on treadmill just can't get the motivation. I'll be home Friday so just a few more days. I now know one of my mental demons to fight

Struggling in hotel room
tzepeda replied to tzepeda's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 4 weeks post op. I decided to do a hotel mani to keep my away from bad decisions -
I Thought once before I read something about your restriction increasing after 1st month. I'm about 4 weeks out and last two days have been much harder to eat then any other time. I understand dense food but I was eating the same way all last week with way less problems. Anyone have this?
-
I'm 3 weeks out and have had them twice. It's a great way to get protein in and take a long time to eat. I had no problems with them but I haven't had problems with much

tzepeda replied to DanaInNewOrleans's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take the Bariactic Advantage chewables and feel sick everytime. I try to avoid them but my hubby is always asking if I took them yet. He is concerned I'll get sick if I don't. In the market for a new vitamin now also -

All of my December sleevers...

I've decided my body is stubborn but I'm more stubborn so I will defeat this slow loss. In 6 months I'll look back and laugh at how obsessed I was for no reason -

Surgery weight 222 12/14 Today 213 Needless to say I'm frustrated. Following doc orders and getting on treadmill daily. My body just needs to get on board -
WHy can't I break my addiction to the scale. 3 weeks out and my scale has only went down 8 lbs. I've been on treadmill at least 4 days a week getting my water and protien. I know that I'm probably shrinking somewhere on my body but the addiction is worse then my addiction to food. I continue to tell myself this will work this has to work!!!
-
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I told my husband to hide the scale while I'm at work so that I can break my habit.

WLS Discount Cards & Restaurants Who Accept Them
tzepeda replied to delta_girl's topic in Food and Nutrition
My husband has been telling me to print of of these. I think I will today. Thank you -
I've used them on the past not a home version but one at a club. They really are amazing for firming. I would use bands while on it and you could truly feel the burn. If I thought the home version was comparable I would buy it but my concern is they won't be as strong.

Hows your weight loss coming along?
tzepeda replied to PoohSoup0803's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sw was 235 got to 222 for surgery date 12/14 and today 212. I'm telling myself 10lbs in two weeks is good but truth is lost 12lbs first week went up 2 and can't get it to budge. I've read all about stalls just didn't expect it one week from surgery. -
Those sleeved around 12/10....
tzepeda replied to lucky8mb1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 12/14 and i've tried refried beans, cottage cheese, devil egg and a few bites of hummus. Nothing seems to bother me yet. I haven't ventured into any meats. Won't go there till next week. My doctors said I can try anything I want after two weeks. -
Can't wait to clean my closet out. So many years of YoYo dieting I have soooo many clothes in all sizes. I would never give up clothes because who knew when I'd be back. This time off they go for good!!!

Ben & Jerry's has frozen Greek yogurt. Almost same calories as regular but taste like Ice Cream with 10 grams of Protien
