Everytime I take my vitamins I get sick so I have few weeks without taking them , on weds I have an appointment with my doctor hopefully they can help me because They will also check my levels :/ and ugh I'm just frustrated. I've notice a lot of hair it's coming out when I brush my hair I'll be 3 months out on the 19th

  13. 4 weeks post op and have pain on my right side around my waist it hurts when I'm standing or when I'm bending down I'm so mad idk what's wrong
  14. I need recipes, it's like my brain shut down.My recipe? Go to the freezer section of the store and get Green Giant or other brand of frozen vegetables. Put them in your freezer. Pull them out and nuke them, following the directions on the package. Another of my favorite recipes? If you are fortunate enough to have a Lee's Famous chicken nearby, go through the drive through and buy green beans. Add a tablespoon or two to your Protein. Added: you can also get prepared vegetables at Boston Market, and even some grocery stores. I have some vegetables in my freezer not a lot because I'm the only one that eats vegetables my hubby doesn't, and my 1 year old only like broccoli haha, but I will try to incorporate more vegetables to my diet
  15. I sorta feel your pain. I felt the same way but I gotta tell you, I ate a li'l bit of rice, after a half fork full I was so grossed out. The feeling it left in my stomach…I don't know why but, that's what it did. It may be different for you, but for me, for some odd reason, the smells of foods and nauseousness has all come back. I'm to a point I don't mind it except that I stop eating and can't get full because of it. Still biding my time like the rest (4weeks out). that's exactly what I'm afraid of, that's why I haven't tried rice because I don't want to feel bad the other day I had fried plantains well only two, and threw up
  16. On several occasions you've mentioned being Dominican and eating rice and beans. I'm Mexican and we also eat rice and beans. Big deal. When you did your pre-surgical research, were you not told rice was going to be a no no? Is eating rice REALLY more important than losing weight and getting healthy? I loved rice -- any kind of rice. Now I don't, no big deal. I'm over it. It makes me feel horrible and I no longer want it. So instead, I eat rice and beans...without the rice. Bring thin is a much bigger deal. I promise. yes I know Mexicans love beans and rice, and I wasn't told I couldn't eat rice, but several people tell me they didn't have rice until they were 6 months post op and they couldn't tolerate rice for some reason, rice it's not more important than losing weight but if I can have some in moderation I would be happy
  17. I'm willing to try quinoa I just thought it was going to be the same as rice people say they can't tolerate neither , but I actually bought some quinoa
  18. I've tried cauliflower rice it's just not the same but I'll try it again
  19. I'm almost 4 weeks out , I'm on puree next week I'll be on regular food
  20. Today I'm feeling really depressed, I'm so tired of mashed potatoes idk what to eat anymore with my protein (eggs,meat, fish) I miss my rice and beans so much I know k can beans, but I'm dominican we eat rice everyday and not being able to eat it makes me so mad 3 weeks and half post op
  21. I've been stuck in the same weight for the past week it's driving me nuts, every time I weight myself I'm either 261 or 263 I was sleeved 11/19 see today I have my monthly friend but it has been the same before I got it, I've lost 27 and 17 of those since surgery but come on I'm getting tired of not seeing the number go down I'm just getting so mad I feel like I did this surgery and it's not working
  22. I miss Diet Pepsi too I'm 10 days out maybe when I'm a month out I'll buy one and make it flat
  23. thankfully !! I hope I'm one of those too once I start trying different things!! Hahaha
  24. I created a sort of new normal. I eat a most of the things I used to eat pre-op, but many things I don't eat. High on the list of things I no longer eat or very rarely eat are highly processed carbs like breads, white rice, and refined sugars. I didn't even have brown rice until I was at least 6 mths out. Some will eat the pizza toppings and leave the bread. I think I've had pizza maybe twice since I was sleeved 14mths ago. It fills me up too fast with not enough of a Protein payout to make it worth while. They can also end up being slider foods. Foods to can eat easily but also overeat easily or lead to bad eating habits that cause you to gain or impede your losing. oh no I def want to eat brown rice instead of white after I'm able to eat it, and pizza well it would be like once in a while like on a weekend but did you feel sick when you first tried rice? Or Pasta?
