    krisstep got a reaction from Trayjay33 in Finally procrastination ended   
    After 4 months out and 55 pounds gone, I finally stopped procrastinating and joined Barry's bootcamp in Sherman oaks. First off Let me say how much I loved everything about. The motivation, the attention from the instructor, the music. Barry's Kicked my ass pretty hard today. I must say I am proud of myself. Will continue for 4 times a week for a few months. Hoping for major results

    krisstep got a reaction from catdaddy in How much is to much?   
    Wow congratulations. I think it is different for everyone. Sometime you can't control it. I think it really depends on what you're comfortable with honestly. I am still new and for me it's been a little over 2 months. My highest weight was 254 surgery weight was 240 I'm down to 212. I feel it's moving a bit slow for me but I am ok with that. It should start picking up as soon as I start exercising which I plan to soon. I hike on the weekends but it's just not enough.

    You should feel full at 1/2 a cup to a full cup depending on what it us you are eating. If your eating high Protein you should be full at 1/2 cup at least that's how it works for me. I'm 2 months out. I hardly feel hungry and after a few bites if food I'm done.

    krisstep got a reaction from lau4lau in 10 days post-op: diet help   
    I am 8 days post op and I completely understand you. I wish I could at least be able to eat some berries or citrus to get some flavor in my mouth. I've been only drinking Water, broth, and taking my Vitamins haven't been drinking my Proteins as I should be ????. I was on stage two (full liquids) that didn't go well so I have to give my body some more time to heal. But I wonder how long does it take after surgery to be able to eat? I know it will never be like before and I'm glad but when is it ok to have a few bites of salad or tuna or few berries??

    krisstep got a reaction from MisR in Protein help   
    Just had an appointment with my dr today and she couldn't stress enough how important it is for us to get the Protein intake. I had been doing very bad in fact hardly taking any and she had a long talk with me. Now I am home sitting in my kitchen for the past 45 mins trying to finish a Premier Protein shake. I completely understand what you're going through as I am on the same boat. But I've decided to put in my big girl panties and make this happen I cannot end up in the hospital I have two small children that depend on me. WE CAN DO THIS!!

    Vinnie hang in there it gets better!! Look at my previous posts I am only two weeks out I was feeling the same way! Met with my dr on the 31st he put me on purees and soft foods k am feeling a lot better, granted I am not taking in all the necessary Protein but life's not as bad! I still have my days emotionally I am never se to eat like before, few bites I'm done. We just need to allow our body and mind to adjust to all these changes. But trust me if I can do it so can you! Hang in there. Let me know if you need any advise or support I'll help you as much as I can.

    I'm only 4 days post-op so I don't have anything to contribute to your question about what others have experienced. I can say that this is exactly the thing I think we're all at risk for in the first couple of months. If we lose focus for even an hour, our bellies will remind us that we live in a new world now and need to plan conservatively. I don't know that I would have remembered to pack a shake either, but I am so glad you could find what you needed from the Magic Google Machine. That was some quick thinking and quick acting, and you should be proud of how you handled it.

    I called the registered nurse she said my body is going through a lot of changes and I had major surgery she suggested me to see a psychiatrist I refused ... She said it's common. I get to see one of the surgeons on the 31st. I'll discuss with him and see what options I might have.
