    When did you guys start drinking regular coffee again?

    Equestriangirl replied to ButterflyRainbow's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

    My program didn't restrict coffee but I didn't start drinking until about 6 months post. I did however drink a coffee protein drink made by a company called Chike. It's awesome. 20 gm of protein 2.5 gm of sugar, 130 calls. It has real espresso. I am 2 1/2 yrs post RNY and still have a shake every morning. The company has other flavors as well and you can buy on Amazon.

    My surgeon said people average 3-5 lbs per week. It was true for me. It slows as you get closer to your goal weight.

    300 calories a day?!

    Equestriangirl replied to ladykatie_'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    That was normal for me, but I focused on protein and was getting at least 60 gm per day.

    weight loss at a stand still

    Equestriangirl replied to RobynPlus2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    It's all about averages. 3-5 lbs per week. That's the usual I think.

    Protein shakes...

    Equestriangirl replied to lkm96h's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    In the beginning, you have to have protein shakes. My program had us drink them for the 1st two weeks post op. Then we advance to purée.

    1 Month Out- Having A Tough Time

    Equestriangirl replied to Chelle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    One thing I learned from this process is that the time tables they give you don't always work for everyone. At 4 weeks I was still super tired and a little foggy. Went back to work at 6 weeks and was still pretty tired. 8 weeks was so much better. Food wise my stomach still isn't happy with some proteins. Make sure you get your protein, fluids in.

    Food scale help?

    Equestriangirl replied to lis463's topic in Food and Nutrition

    I like the food scale. You just put your plate on and zero the scale and then put your food on. It's simple.

    Friday Weigh-In!

    Equestriangirl replied to KevinsBabyGirl85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    HW 299 SW 247 Surgery 8/26/13 CW 215 I wish I would lose weight faster but my doctor says I am right on track.
  16. Equestriangirl
    I use the My fitness pal app to track everything that goes in my mouth. It can be very enlightening. If your calories are too low sometimes increasing them by 100-200 helps. Also, changing up your exercise can help. I also find drinking more fluids helps. If you can use the my fitness pal app. It's free and sometimes it can be an eye opener.

    Equestriangirl posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Is there anyone out there who did not lose hair after surgery? I'm only 7 weeks and hoping it's not going to happen to me but I'm still so early.

    Are Laxatives ok four days out?

    Equestriangirl replied to Mid West's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Check with your surgeon. I was on IV pain meds and so I had to take a liquid stool softener. Not allowed pills. I was OK to use Miralax.

    What is the best food you could taste.

    Equestriangirl replied to xiomara8868's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    After 2 weeks on liquids post op and I advanced to purée, I had a poached egg and it tasted like heaven....

    Equestriangirl replied to Pam Peltz's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

    I turned 55 a week after my surgery on 8/26/2013. Yesterday was 6 weeks post op. Doing well.

    How many grams of protein a day?

    Equestriangirl replied to Mid West's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Protein 60-80 gm.plus at least 48 oz of fluid. I was up walking the evening after surgery. I didn't go too far though, only to the door. I got dizzy and light headed. You have to make sure the first time you walk with a nurse. Walking is the best way to get the anesthesia and gas out of your body.

    Feel like im going to explote

    Equestriangirl replied to xiomara8868's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    A poached egg was better for me than scrambled. Maybe because with the wet yoke it's more moist.

    Protein Shakes

    Equestriangirl replied to baseball44's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Isopure comes in many flavors. I don't care for the fruit punch flavored. Grape and peach mango are my favorites.
