Quany

Congrats!

I was literally salivating lol

Just checking in. How's everyone doing?

I was told I can have quinoa during the regular food stage. Every Dr is different but the regular stage for me started at week 5. He suggested quinoa because it's a good source of protein.

@@Quany - How are you feeling? What's your progress been like? I've been doing really well. I'm down 30 pounds. I've been in a stall for the last 2 weeks but my Doctor just cleared me to work out at gym. I am able to get on all my fluids and I'm prettying doing trial and error when it comes to food. The only thing I have a problem with it the no drinking while eating rule.

Lol this is hilarious!

I don't think that is necessarily true. About 25% of patients get gall stones and may have to get their gall bladder removed. Pretty much you could wait it out, as it may not affect you at all. This was one of my biggest concerns. My Dr. told me to watch what I eat after surgery because fatty, oily foods causes gall stones. I'm 5 weeks out so far so good.

I didn't do abs because I'm only 5 weeks out. I go to the Dr. Friday and I'll find out when it's okay to start working on the abs

I was sleeved in July 29th, 2015. My paperwork post op surgery says its okay to work out in the Gym after 1 month. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I plan on taking it slow .

It turned out better than expected! I didn't get tired and it felt good to sweat.

I was sleeved on 7/29. SW 274 weight before surgery 268 CW 243. So I'm about 25lb down, 15 pounds was lost the 1st week after surgery. I've been stalling this last week but judging from the others post, it's completely normal. I'm not worried at all because after this month I should be cleared to work out in the gym. Good luck everyone!

Let me know how it goes! Good luck with everything

Congrats you look awesome! I had surgery July 29th and I can't wait to get of the 200's club. sw 274 day of surgery 266, as of yesterday 243

Try a little pickle juice but be careful because it does have a lot of sodium. There is a current post that was talking about the effects of pickles an nausea yesterday. A lot of people seems to think that it helps (including me)

I'm 3 weeks post op and my stomach loves pickle juice. It helps me with nausea.

What Walmart do you get your Premier Protein from? None of the Walmart's in this area have it. I'm in New Jersey. I found it near the pharmacy section. It's $6 for a 4 pack

Yea I scrambled mine. Haven't tried them sunny side up

Eggs give me heart burn and it just don't sit well with my stomach. I was so excited to eat them lol I tried it twice and got the same feeling. I haven't tried them boiled so that will be my next experience

That's awesome! My work pants starting sagging this week! I'm 22 pound lighter is 2 weeks

The chocolate taste like chocolate milk. They are very good.

Thanks so much! Just got thru ordering mines this now. This is a great deal. I pay this amount for 12 of them at Walmart.

I'm doing really well! I'm patiently waiting for Wednesday which is my 2 week mark. I'm ready to eat some fish and eggs! I'm tired of only fluids.

Yayyyyy! You got this! Let me know how it goes tomorrow.

Typo Dr. Forester

The vitamins for me is the hardest. I take the celebrate chewables and the 1st couple of days were fine but now I literally want to puke whenever I take them. I prefer to take a pill that I can swallow. I always drink protein shakes whenever I tried to lose weight in the past so it was easy for me to get use to. However those shakes get boring, I've been mixing pb2 in my chocolate shakes and it literally taste like I'm eating a Reese's peanut butter cup ( yum). Btw were practically neighbors I live in Edison. I had my surgery with Dr. Foster with the NJ bariatric institute. Who was your surgeon?
