Checklist for AFTER surgery...
Sophie74656 replied to reachbree's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you don't really need that much post surgery for the first few weeks. -
No nausea but having diarrhea

liquid in, liquid out -
While you're eating?
-
That's about what I do. If I don't take a sip I feel like the food gets stuck in my throat. I used to have several of glasses of something while I ate. Not doing that anymore has been one of the hardest parts for me

I hate mint so that sounds terrible to me LOL, but I love to add things to my water to help get it in. In the summer I love to add frozen berries. keeps it cold and infuses it with flavor

HOW DO YOU SUCCEED WITH HEALTHY EATING WHEN YOU'RE MEXICAN
Sophie74656 replied to marthaejurado's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't think being mexican, or from any specific culture, has anything to do with it. You can eat delicious home made foods and not be overweight. It's all about how much you eat and how active you are. It's not the culture to blame but our bad choices. In my opinion you can still eat the same foods just in moderation. If you had something that's "bad" for dinner then have light breakfasts and lunch before that. -
your sleeve, not pouch, will not stretch

after a month post op I was taking a few sips during meals. but....as people who are trying to loose weight, there are a LOT of habits we need to break right? It's just something you need to do if you want good post op results

Pre-op clothes shopping
Sophie74656 replied to abuckeyeleaf's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
don't buy anything, you don't know what size you will need -
Maybe I'm doing this wrong...
Sophie74656 replied to debd80's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
at 11 days you really shouldn't be eating much anyway. for months after surgery your stomach is swollen from the trauma. Once the swelling goes down you will be able to eat a bit more -
this is something your surgeon should have gone over with you. Basically drinking while you eat will help push some of the food out of your stomach allowing you to eat more...which defeats the purpose

What does your plan have you on for the first few weeks? Are you on clear liquids only, or just liquids. I would get some broths, gatorade, sugar free popcicles, jello, some crystal light. And of course your protein shakes
-
nope, no free samples. I just kept buying individual bottles until I found something I liked
-
that's awesome!! congrats, keep up the good work!
-
any fruit. I add frozen berries to my protein shakes, I eat oranges, grapefruit, watermelon, grapes, apples...
-
Isopure was terrible for me but a lot of people like it. In the store here there are some mixes that look more like a juice than a shake like this one https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/fruit-drinks/products/bariatricpal-15g-protein-fruit-concentrates-mixed-berry

yep eating too fast still makes me throw up post op. Eating slow is still something I struggle with. I try to put my fork down between bites and count to 10, or do something else while I eat like read if I'm eating alone. Finish a page, take a bite

Sophie74656 replied to mlgok's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you shouldn't feel "super full". That means you had too much. -

Sophie74656 replied to MarlenesLifeJourney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
get some gatorade it will help with dehydration better than Water and go see your surgeon. Call their office and tell them what is going on. -

Are Protein Bars even worth it?
Sophie74656 replied to OutsideMatchInside's topic in Food and Nutrition
I don't understand why the quest bars are so popular. They are almost $3 each and taste terrible. I have tried so many flavors and they are all horrible -
