My 1 year surgery anniversary is today!
Sarahboy13 replied to Piplula's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Looking wonderful! Way to go! -
I was exposed big time to the stomach bug, feeling ok, but my question is can sleepers get a stomach bug? Isn't that kind of dangerous? I am almost 4 months out.

The hospital was the worst of it, you will feel better once you are home

If you have an Aldi's near you, their Greek yogurt rocks!! Not as tart as the others
-
keep drinking I got dehydrated in the beginning and it was awful!! Also take it slow, don't expect to eat much. Remember this is a learning experience and their will be bumps in the road, I am only 4 months out and everyday I am still learning what I can tolerate.

Stalled and eating more
Sarahboy13 replied to wilecoyote's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Change something, if its your workout, the time you eat, what you eat, something, it may just be enough to trick your body. Good luck! -
Sounds crazy but up your calories by 100-200, sometimes the body just needs a change. Make them meaningful calories, extra protien or some veggies/fruit. Don't stress over it, we all hit stalls.

Amount of protein shake to drink for breakfast?
Sarahboy13 replied to riemem01's topic in Food and Nutrition
Drink what you can just take everything slow. I usually do one scoop of protein powder to about 8 oz of water but I never get it all in. -

How often do you weigh yourself
Sarahboy13 replied to Joe I's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only weigh myself every two weeks at my doctors office, luckily it's right up the road :-). I have started stepping on my own scale, I may to throw it away....lol -
Ahi tuna and canned tuna are night and day different. ahi tuna is very moist and basically eaten raw, really high in protein :-). Hope you pick something yummy, I hate eating out, it seems like a chore and I waste most of the food. We do Japanese and I eat and appetizer and it feeds me for two to three meals.
-
I ate seared ahi tuna about 2.5 weeks out, just slow but it dissolves in your mouth.....yummy, still a weekly staple in my diet.

Sarahboy13 replied to LHT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Have a protein shake it helps -
I'm Afraid of my Scale
Sarahboy13 replied to AmandaRaeLeo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wait for the scale at your doctors, I only weigh myself every two weeks, you will make yourself crazy if you weigh yourself everyday. My first follow up appointment I was down 21lbs, happy day! -
Reflux is giving me the FLUX!
Sarahboy13 replied to Patienlywtng on my Curves's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ask your doctor for Protonix, works wonders. My doctor hade me on it for the first two months. Try a piece of cheese if you can, it may help. I also found plain water set it off, try crystal light or add some cucumbers to your water for some flavor. Good luck -
4 days out and can FINALLY take a sip without pain!
Sarahboy13 replied to JennyBeth's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats!!! I had hell in the hospital as well. dont stress over the protein yet, just make sure to keep sipping, I ended up dehydrated and I felt awful. Good luck with the great new journey! -
You are the, it took me a full month to realize that pain in my chest was me eating WAY to fast or too much!! Live and learn, this is a process :-)

Taking out the trash
Sarahboy13 replied to Decembersleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Way to go!! I actually put a Rubbermaid tote in my closet, if it is too big it goes in there and I make a goodwill trip once its full, it's a great feeling!!! -
Does the surgery help with energy?
Sarahboy13 replied to NewAshes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you have sleep apnea? If you do and are not using your mask it could be causing sleep issues, I would check with your doctor. -
Protein Powder Questions for Pre-Op Diet
Sarahboy13 replied to Mom2Stella's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try frozen fruit if you can or a yogurt, usually helps! -
I could barely eat one egg at that stage. Slow down your eating and you will probably eat less. I am 3 months out and I still have a tough time with a whole egg. You should never have pain, that is from eating too fast and you are stretching your esophagus, also you may barf, go slow :-). Good luck!!

6 weeks post-op. Not losing ANY weight. :(
Sarahboy13 replied to nikkimyers1127's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you are working out that could stall things, your body is in shock. Try upping your calories by 100-200 if you can, your body may be in starvation mode. Hang in there, it will happen. As far as the constipation, I am in the same boat, try prune juice once a day, it makes a difference, or if you can eat an apple, they are full of fiber.
