Proud of you!!!!! My husband and I had a lot arguements over this! We both grew up in a household of where you had to clean your plate because children in China are going hungry. I refused to pass this on to my children. My husband felt they should clean their plates and I didn't. I did not want them to be overeaters like me and him. My children are now grown and are healthy eaters with no bad habits of overeating!!!!

I am a mom of adopted children. Moms never stop worrying or praying for their children no matter how old they are. My sister and I fought our weight our entire life. My mother was able to control her weight thru diets (and it was a struggle), but diets never worked for me and my sister. My sister had her surgery a couple of years ago and is down to a size 10. I just started my journey. My mom did not live long enough to see us reach our goals. After your surgery....share each milestone with your mom. Let her know how happy you are and I asure you she will be happpy and excited right alone with you!

Cauliflower: A White Food That’s Really Good for You
TEXASLADY52 replied to BaileyBariatrics's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
I saw the other day where they grated the cauliflower to rice and then fried it in a nonstick pan and made a "tortilla".......it looked so good! I also love potatoe salad made out of cauliflower! Thinking about it makes me wish I could eat!! -
RUN-----stay away from them-----too tempting

Nine weeks out and I still cannot eat. I may can eat one day and then it will be several days before I can eat again. One thing I have discovered is that I cannot eat anything with spice???? I have always loved spicey food, but just plain black pepper just sets my stomach on fire?? I made squash casserole and baked boneless chicken thighs yesterday.....all I could taste was black pepper....just one bite and that was all I could handle. I have been on a long stall......was told I was not drinking enough water and not eating enough. I cannot drink anything at least 30 minutes before I eat and at least 30-45 minutes after I eat. So it is either eat or drink? Been trying real hard to get my water and protein in, but I just cannot eat??? NUT said I should be eating at least a half cup by now.....but that is not happening ... the only thing I can handle is soup??? Any suggestions???
-
The drinking thing is for all the other WLS, not for DS. If you need to sip to help settle things in your stomach you are welcome to do so. I have been and have been advised by vet dsers that it's perfectly fine. The Nut told me the same thing and it's not for us. Many people cannot handle chicken, have you tried baked fish or even tuna with lots of mayo? I've found guacamole to be very comforting to my tummy. Are you on the FB support group for Lubbock? LADS? It's for anyone in Lubbock that had the DS, we meet monthly and they have tons of advice. You have to be careful with the advice you get here as the DS is the least known and the most misunderstood of them all.

On another thread someone said it did not matter what you took your hair is going to fall out. I truly believe this. I had emergency hysterectomy and 90 days later all of my hair fell out. I went to the doctor and he told me it was because my system went through a schock. He told me it could be from surgery, death, wreck...etc...anything that is a shock to your system.

Playing the waiting game BCBS TX
TEXASLADY52 replied to 4EverChang'nSpy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have BCBS as an employee of the State of Texas. I feel really blessed. My insurance was filed on a Friday and they approved it on the following Tuesday. I had all my medical records and supervised weight loss verification in hand on the first visit with the doctor. As soon as I completed my test, they filed my insurance. Everything fell into place without any problems. Felt like God was telling me it was my time!! -

New and Worried
TEXASLADY52 replied to mommyoftwogirls's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went to a doctor for over 10 years. He told me on several occasions that he would never agree for me to have WLS. I changed doctors and the first thing my new doctor asked me if I had ever thought about WLS surgery? I ordered my records from the other doctor (my insurance required five years). They sent me the records on a disk. Before I went to see the WLS surgeon I had complete records on what my insurance (BCBS) required in hand. The insurance clerk was so surprise....said she had never had a patient bring everything in with them. After I had all of my test ran...they submitted my claim on a Friday and the insurance approved it on Tuesday....never dreamed they would approve so fast. -
Soft is all that I eat and protein drinks. I cannot handle solid foods at all and some days can't handle food period. I haven't been able to eat eggs. I ate a whole poached egg once..... Usually after a couple of bites I can tell it is not going to stay down.
-
After I eat something that makes me sick.....I cannot eat anything else for a couple of days. It is like my stomach is irritated.... and I have to go back on liquid. I am eight weeks out and still have trouble eating. I may eat one day and it may be five days or longer before I can eat again. I have been able to eat a whole poached egg once?
-
Trying my best not to obessed by the scale. I haven't weighed in two weeks. I have tried to focus on letting my body heal and getting my protein to the right level. Still cannot eat hardly anything. I have learned if I am going to eat I have to take a prilosec first. I know by my clothes that I am losing. Everyone tells me they can tell in my face that I am losing......I am just waiting until I walk in and they say they can tell in my rear that I am losing.....LOL

Chewable/Liquid Paleo vitamins and protein?
TEXASLADY52 replied to Sherrib4health's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Do you have a GNC? If not you can order online. I got a liquid vitamin for bariatrics......it was not too bad of taste....had an orange taste to it. I have also used "Teen" gummie vitamins from Walmart....they met all of the guidelines. Check out http://www.musclegen.net/ see if this will help you with your protein. It has really helped me. There is a video on the lower right hand side to watch. -
It is my understanding that the video states that their 15 grams equals same amount as 30 grams of protein.....

I wasn't told not to eat bread.....just keep everything soft and chew chew chew right now. I only ate half of the bread.....have four legged friends that helped with the bread.....LOL Talked to the NUT Friday and she told me to work on getting 1/2 cup of food down. The main thing was the Protein and I am so glad to find one that works for me.

Pre-Op Diets........ Why the variance?
TEXASLADY52 replied to LifSvr2014's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told you do this so your liver is not as fatty. It makes it easier to get around your liver when they do the surgery. I only had to do seven days. Each doctor is different. -
I admire all of you! I stayed off four weeks and then went back to work 1/2 days for a week. I was so tired and had to build up my strength. After they started letting me have my Iron......felt lots better and got around better!

My husband has seen how I have struggled for years with my weight. I would lose and then gain it all back and then some. My knees and joints have wore out after all of these years of extra weight. I have tried and tried to get WLS and it was never possible. This past year everything fell into place. I told my husband that I felt God was telling me it was my time. I am 61 years old and the weight has ruined my health. I am praying to get healthy again and live a long life. I am telling you to go for it while you are young. Live your life to the fullest!!!

I so scared ti eat!
TEXASLADY52 replied to mrs.papa923's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had my surgery 6/10 and still cannot eat. I know within minutes if it is going to come back up. The most I can eat is 1-2 TBL. I usually cannot eat at night at all??? I can eat about a half of egg and it is ??? whether it will stay down. I get a terrible feeling and then thick mucus comes up (TMI). I do a little better if I don't drink thirty minutes before I eat and wait 45 minutes after I eat. I have to take little bity bites and chew chew chew! Wait between bites. Tried watermelon last night and I knew immediately that I had messed up with the first bite. I was able to get a few bites of potato Soup from Scholtzsky's down today at lunch and so far so good! -

TEXASLADY52 replied to Stephnance's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Don't obess with the scales. The first month you should focus on letting your body heal...it has been through a lot!
