    Surgery went great. Resting off an on and getting ready to be discharged. Not as bad as I thought. Feel like someone is sitting on my tummy and I'm tired but other than that I feel pretty normal

    antigone40 got a reaction from jfzimmerman in avoiding temptation when...   
    Temptation isn't what it once was at all. It's weird, you just learn quickly that you've got only a tiny bit of real estate in your stomach and that you want to fill it with Protein or Fiber so you don't lose muscle mass or pass out. Eating to live becomes a real thing fast.
    It was easier than I expected because your cravings change. For the first couple weeks after surgery, I was highly aware of my limited capacity and my brain caught on quickly. I walked past things I couldn't have before, and still do, and it's not me being strong as much as knowing --really knowing, without a doubt-- those things will make me feel bad.

    I have been on my supervised dieting now for just a couple of weeks but so far I have been doing fantastic and I feel fantastic about it.
    My NUT told me low carb hi Protein and suggested between 30-40 carbs a day as a goal.
    I have really been toeing the line and even though I have had several temptations nothing has pulled me off. Even able to ignore the hubby eating nutty buddy ice cream. I purchased it before I started dieting and it has to be eaten so I told him to have at it.
    What really makes me happy is that we went out to lunch yesterday for the first time to our favorite Fish place. We love their catfish. I was torn for a few minutes but actually found myself reading the menu and asking questions. I ended up with a GRILLED SHRIMP salad, all totally approved and a glass of Water. It hit the spot and proves I can eat out and follow the plan too.
    I am not scheduled to see the NUT again until Aug 17th and I can't wait to see if the change shows up in my weight.

    I tell you something that has absolutely blown me away is the Hydro Flask. During my classes a gentlemen had his with him and kept going on about how great it was so I purchased one myself.
    I can put Water and ice in this thing before I go to work, and that ice will still be there keeping it icy cold up to 24 hours later! It still amazes me. I knew that it also claimed to keep hot stuff hot for up to 12 hours, so I recently tested it out with broth. While it didn't stay hot quite that long. It stayed too hot to drink (I used boiling water) for at least an hour, and hot down to lukewarm for the next 6 or so hours. And it doesn't sweat on the outside either. I swear I'd volunteer to be their spokesperson, I love it that much!
    It's a bit pricey, but well worth the investment long term, and they come in a variety of sizes. I've thrown all my other Water bottles away, as they don't come close to comparing. Love it!

    Hi C2F,
    I'm 5 weeks out. I had VSG and my gall bladder removed and I was feeling okay after 6-7 days. After the second week, I felt fantastic.
    Sometimes when I have other things going on, I forget that I'm sleeved and take a big gulp of ice Water ('tis summer after all). It still hurts when I get up in the 2-3 oz. range. I think it's bothering me the most, because chugging Water used to be so fun, and that's how it became a habit!
    Best of luck; you'll get there!

    When I expressed concern about hair loss, my bariatrician recommended Biotin as a preventative, so that may be worth a look.
