  1. #RJ's/beginning so sorry to hear of all your post op medical issues!! That's crazy! Do they know why you had leaks and what symptoms you showed that u had leaks? Thank goodness you are here now, hope you are healing and ok????????
  2. #aloudwhisper and #auntjanny I track everything on My Fitness Pal. I love the app cause it helps my stay in track right now. One day I hope to be at goal and not have to use it. For now it's critical for me... Lol I went on MFP and averaged my last 3 weeks and daily I'm getting - 77 grams of Protein, carbs= 53 and sugars = 19 I am drinking between 8-10 cups of Water daily My NUT recommends 60-80 grams of protein daily. Are my carbs n sugars ok? I didn't get a guideline for them except to keep them low.

    Ladies, I wish I knew about Genepro during my first weeks post op. It is tasteless and a small spoonful packs 30 grams of protein. There is a thread somewhere on here that I kept reading. I finally went on Amazon and am kicking myself for not buying it earlier. #traveler60 sorry about the scrambled eggs. Not sure why they didn't settle well with you. Still happens to me sometimes on eggs n everything if I "mindless" eat my meal. I forget to chew sometimes... Lol. Boy does it hurt! I try to walk it off and that helps a little. Happy Friday everyone????????

    too much protein?

    The amount of orotein intake depends on your current weight also. Higher the weight, the more the protein
  12. Wishing you a quick and easy recovery!!! Congrats on joining us in the other side ???? isn't it exciting!!!

    LCHF?

    My NUT also promotes Low Carbs ( Complex) and Low Fat. She said during the beginning stages Post op Low Fat is better for the Liver and organs. I did Atkins (LCHF) and lost great on it but always gained it back plus some when I went off. But it sure was fun losing weight while eating scrambled eggs fried in bacon grease!!! Lol I guess follow what works for your and your NUT n Doc recommend ????

    Progress...

    9 weeks already! Can't believe how quickly that went . Congrats on a great success!!! It's great that you got a trainer. Mind sharing what they recommend at this time? I got 1 session to get me started. I can def see how having scheduled sessions is better to get us into the gym!
  17. 5 for me, 4 small n 1 a bit larger. Hope you are feeling better, it's always great to get home! Sip Sip Sip????

    Laparoscopic. 5 little holes, not bad at all. I had 4 C-sections years ago, so this was a walk in the park for me! I just read where some doctors are now doing a procedure where they go in like an upper endoscopy! No external cuts at all. Very new I think though. What do they propose for you ?

    I did the 2 week one also! It was really great for me and helped me to jump start into the post op life ????????
  21. Thank for your input. I was weighing myself in every day and finally stopped, it was killing me! Now I am 1 time a week, which is taking incredible willpower... Lol !!

    #onmywaytoonederland Welcome and congrats on your new journey! How excited you must be, so close to getting surgery. Hope all goes well with your insurance approval and you have a great December! Are you doing any pre op diet?
  23. Anyone in a stall? I can't seem to break this one! It's been just over 2 weeks and I gained a pound. I'm logging everything I eat, drinking my water and stated exercising. I read the thread about stalls and understand it, I just want it to end.. Lol Any recommendations?

    To all you fabulous 50's women, welcome!!! I love that we have this wonderful group of new friends to share our journey with. I have had a couple of crazy bust days, but normally I am on this site constantly just surfing and reading all the threads. It has helped me tremendously both pre and post op. I was 8 weeks post op yesterday. I am overall thrilled with my results so far and have lost 42lbs. Now I am experiencing a 2 week stall. From this site I learned the physiology of a stall and understand it (still hate it though.. Lol!) I know that without my surgery, I would never have lost that weight, and it's only the beginning for me. 53 years old, 5'3" HW 249 CW 207 (for 2 weeks now!) I am trying to see onederland and anxiously await it's arrival???? I look forward to sharing my journey with all if you !
