partofme!

Congrats! I just added you as a friend as we are within one week of one another for surgeries but also have close to the same starting weight and same goal weight! I wish you the best of success in your journey! What are you eating so far? What's a typical day for you?

I broke the rules and tried some three weeks out. It was no fun. Got a buzz right away, got tired, woke up dehydrated. Ugh. Just have a glass of juice, honestly...alchohol is not the same.

I saw someone on here that did do this accidentally 4 months post op. There are huge issues with this as a-you can barely consume 800 calories a day right now, and a pregnant woman needs to consume about 1800 a day. Also, you need to give your body time to adjust and I would think (in my opinion) it would be a huge risk to you and your baby if you did this. I want to get pregnant too, but I am not planning to do so until fall of this year, or almost a year from surgery. I want the pounds to stay off!!!

Hi there! I am 21 days today post-op as well! Woohoo for both of us! I have lost 23 lbs eating high-protein, low carb. I intro'd solids late last week and doing well...definately hear you on the sweating and nausea thing though if you eat too fast :S I eat typically: low fat cottage cheese for break 1/2 c soft egg whites for snack sugar free applesauce -1/4 c soup (broth based) for lunch..i usually can tolerate about a half cup ground chicken meat ball or ground meat (i had meatloaf last night...woohoo...although, had about 4 bites lol) mashed veg like squash puree, peas, etc...these are TOUGH so as much as I can handle. I want to start noshing on spinach pretty bad for the iron, going to try it today and try to combat this tiredness shrimp-oh man, lovvvve shrimp and no issues with digestion...I find anything seasoned, overly salty, etc is what gets me. Al lthe best!!!

Movie theatre popcorn is THE WORST!!! If you can sneak in a bag of your own airpopped stuff, that would help! Also, if your movie theatre has a yogen fruz, a small fro yo with some fruit topping would still satisfy your snack urge maybe? Good luck and keep going!!
