I had surgery Dec 15 and am down to 179. I could not wait to eat fruit absolutely love it. I don't eat breads, Pasta, potatoes, or other processed carbs. However last night my daughter was eating Doritos so I tried and had some. That was after 86g of Protein. I do have a shake before I work out and after. I work out everyday. I think it is inappropriate to judge someone because you don't know their daily menu or work out schedule. I believe after almost 4 months since surgery, w nothing but healthy food (proteins, veggies, fruit) for me, you have no place to be judgmental. Before last night, I didn't touch one processed carb. Many people on here might be the same way. So please step off that pedestal you placed yourself on and stop looking down your nose and making rude comments to those of us who are honest about what we ate. We are human, we aren't perfect and neither are you. Sorry just had to say something cuz it seems like most everyone you quoted you sounded snotty.

I was seen today at the center. I am down 65 pounds since surgery and 80 since preop. I can't wait to someday hit "Onederland". I asked about sugar alcohols and milk intolerance. The dietician said to stick with Protein Bars with less than 10 grams sugar alcohol. She suggested low cal. Soy milk or try Lactaid. I picked up a book called Eat It Up they suggest would be a good read. The center is doing a book group. About being one year out and real life choices to maintain.
I get to have some fasting labs done tomorrow. They asked my why did I choose to have bariatric surgery? I thought was odd at a 3 month post op visit. She stressed always eat Protein first, veggies then fruit if still hungry. Stop when full. Push fluids. Water, water, water. Ugh....

I had my 3 month appointment Friday. I'm down 60lbs, I feel good for the most part. I still have a lot of nausea and carry zofran with me at all times. I don't enjoy eating at all. Which I guess isn't a bad thing. I have difficulty getting my Protein in since I don't eat. I know I have to so usually drink Protein Drinks. Which my nutritionist said yesterday wasn't ideal but however I have to get it. I did my 1st 5k and had a blast. Already signed up for another!
