Interesting article on protein + recipes!
padremama replied to Thinside's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Interesting article. The recipes look really good but way to complicated for me. I like simple. -
Arnica instead of Aleve?
padremama replied to padremama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm taking it more for inflammation. It's working more than tylenol for pain. -
Drip Drip Drip.....Ugh!

That made my best laugh for the day -
It let me add the entry but says something like "you are not getting enough calories in". If I do 1000 calories it tells me at what rate I will lose weight.

Yay!! I can not imagine if we didn't get spicy. I'm sure we would of dealt with it, but so nice we don't have to.

I just bought a peanut butter quest bar today while I was at vitamin store. Trying tumeric for inflamation.

I think I started about 5 weeks. You didn't have any problems? Do you have any suggestions for me on where to start? I am 3 weeks post of and on pureed foods and slowly starting soft foods. I have always eaten super hot foods and this has not stopped me. I even had wasabi. So just try a little and see how it goes. I really thought I would have a problem with it after weeks of Protein shakes. Oops just saw the 3 weeks post op. I didn't try any til at least a week after solids. Wait a couple of more weeks.

Strange Info from NUT re: Carbs
padremama replied to MarceMonster's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I went to a Mexican food restaurant and at "The Whole Enchilada" What do you eat at the Mexican restaurant? I love Mexican, but I have been avoiding it because I don't really know what I can eat there anymore. I ate a cheese enchilada! I had sour cream on it too. I couldn't believe I finished it. My nephew wanted me to split this huge beef burrito but I just was afraid to try that. I make a machaca type Breakfast almost daily. I put a little shredded beef or pork with egg white. Sometimes with peppers and onions sometimes with cheese or salsa. I even bought 2 ounces of chorizo one day and added egg whites. It was so good. Refried Beans were my favorite on soft food stage. -

How long have you been doing 1,000 to 1,200 calories a day. I'm at 8 weeks. -
This is what I was told on Calcium too. Also I always take Vitamins with food or Protein shake so I don't feel sick.

Inspiration for the 3 month and under folks...
padremama replied to lucky1gg33's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am with you all the way. I now see people's comments that were sleeved a month or two after us and I want to say "just wait!" That first 8 weeks is so confusing. And the stall was the worse. Everyday to be the same weight after going through this surgery. I went through being hungry and not understanding why. No help from my nut. Have been trying for a week for her to answer my calls. Wanted to know what she thought of me upping my calories to 1000. Went ahead and did it and it's working for me. Maybe it's better she didn't call. She might of told me not to. lol. So like Lucky said: Hang in there! -

Anyone diagnosed w/ "Functional Dyspepsia?"
padremama replied to RichardVST's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Me too, I am getting better. I upped my calories to 1000 a day and that seems to help. And I'm actually losing. Was not losing at all on 800 calories. -
I'm going to go shopping today. I need to go pick up some Syntax Nectar anyway. I bought a sample of it last week and love it. They carry it at "the vitamin shop" I'm sure they will have a bunch of probiotics. I just have to make up my mind before I go or I end up spending too much money on what they talk me into if it's anything like Gnc.
-
It actually isn't a bad price.
-
Thanks
-
I also am interested in what brand or type of probiotics. There are a lot out there.
-
A new topic just started on probiotics. I am interested in learning more about them.

I could drink Water from the start fairly easy. I was warned by nut how painful it would be if I drank water too fast. Still haven't felt that. Feel I can eat a lot more than most can too. Sleeved May 20th so I think I should be feeling more than I am. Losing slower than others sleeved the same time too. I am only eating Protein and a little little bit of vegies. Tomatoes, Cauliflower, sweet potatoes, squash. And add Protein powder or yogurt to sweet potatoes. But feel hungry 30 min after eating. I upped my calorie count to 1000 this week to see if that will help. Any suggestions?
