hey this sounds awesome do you happen to know how many calories and protein per serving? i suck at calculating that stuff

Hey i know how much protein i should be getting daily and roughly how many calories they want me to eat but never really gave or that i remember carbs? whats ya'lls average of carbs daily?

I've moved to a new phase that i'm allowed ground meat. so unless i want taco meat nightly i need some suggestions all and any!!!!

Your not the only one i've heard say this. I'm trying to watch what i say. i've learned that even if people ask how much i've lost most really don't care or are jealous

i emailed my doctor and this is what i got DAILY GOAL: 200-250 CALORIES/MEAL 20 GRAMS PROTEIN/MEAL 15-20 GRAMS CARBOHYDRATE/MEAL and they want 3 meals and 1 snack so i'm doing it right but i will tell you i don't get all of any of it. i have trouble eating all my meals

Hello i'm post op 25 i've moved on to phase 2. so ready for phase 3 and 4 but anyway i'm wondering when i can have scrabbled eges and just a fried on?

ya i think cause people see I'm from the south they assume i'm using lard or oil. I've been saying fry since i was a toddler i use a little spray or i can't believe it's not butter and my trusty non stick pan and because i haven't had eggs in so long it taste pretty darn good

it took me 3 yrs to talk my husband in to it but when i finally convinced him that it was this or i would eventually die from obesity related problems he couldn't argue. my other family has been supportive now i wish i hadn't opened my mouth to my co workers but that's another story.

i've never poached an egg so of course i you tubed it and yuck i hate runny yolk so i'll pass that up but i use icbinb and a non stick pan so i'll tab that in the pan tomorrow and cook (my way of frying) it solid.

Yes i heard that and i no i'll never have a carbonated anything ever again which is fine. i was told by my doc i could flatten one if i really wanted it but ya don't want it that bad. yuck

I'm day 16 post op and i've been doing really great so far. Yesterday had a major bout with nausea i think due to constipation (tmi?lol) but today man oh man i've been craving a diet dr pepper so bad!! I can't wait until the day i'm able to drink just a sip of one but i'm trying not to focus on what i'm missing instead of what i'm gaining by losing this weight!

I forget that "fry" is different for everyone. My definition is a little spray or low calorie fake butter. I did try scrambled today with a piece of 100% whole wheat toast and although my post op papers said i could do toast today i really could have passed that up! Eggs went in good toast not so good.

My doctor also required a family member to be at my appointment and i had to have my husbands consent before surgery

I got this recipe off here and oh it's so freaking good Baked ricotta 8oz ricotta 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 1t. Italian seasoning 1lg egg Salt and pepper 1/2 cup marinara sauce (I used 1/2 cup sun dried tomato alfrado sauce 1/2 cup low fat mozzarella cheese Mix ricotta cheese,parmesan cheese, beaten egg, and seasonings together. Place in oven dish pour sauce over top then top with mozzarella cheese. Bake 450 for 20-25 min. 6 servings 88 cal. 4 fat. 3.3 carbs and 9.2 Protein

i was given 4 weeks off and i go back for my post op on Jan 7 then we decided if i can return but i'm ready

Thats amazing!! congrats

I was given 4-6 weeks off because i'm in the job field where i could possible be hit and he was worried about getting hit in the stomach but honestly i was ready to go back to work by the second week

Best of luck!!! Plus you are extremely lucky for no drainage tube!! that hurt like crazy. made my chest hurt when i walked then removing it was extremely painful but i would gladly do it all over again

I thought i wouldn't be able to swallow pills but one of the vitamins that was prescribed to me is like a typical pill size and the first few days it hurt to swallow with only an oz of water but now it's fine (day 15) I use to pop ibuprofen like crazy because of being over weight my feet hurt but my doc said no more but honestly i'm walking 40 min's a day like i was told to do and my feet really don't hurt anymore. Good luck!!

Mine said 2 yrs. i actually had to sign a paper saying we would not try to get pregnant for two years but that's no worries to me as i've had 2 and my husband is fixed.

my surgeon told me never. He said it passes straight through the stomach and to the liver without being dilated. now i don't know how true that is but yellow isn't a good skin color for me so i'll take his word and keep my liver healthy

I know all about the money! i'm lucky enough that i only had to put down $2500 and my parents paid that and i get to make payments to them. it's hard with a family of four on one income but it's well worth it. Good luck

i'm 15 days out and i still have pain if i try to swallow too big. i just seriously sip everything to prevent the pain but defiantly call the doc

just wondering why you had to have an egd? i didn't have to
