    Who was sleeved in January 2016?

    I was sleeved Jan 5th. I lost over 30 lbs so far. I am also eating the same food over and over again. I still can't even get all my Protein in and Water. I find eating now a chore as well. I like to eat when ever Im hungry, not because its breakfast lunch or supper time. Sometimes I can go the whole day but i know thats not good, so I force myself to eat every 2-3 hours. And eating the same over and over. I have a very picky diet, I don't like fruits and veggies, Im trying to make stuff to hide the taste of certain veggies that i can have so far, but so far it has been a fail. and I still haven't had a complete meal yet. I get full from just a chunk of chicken. Loving the weight loss, but it takes time to adjust to eating.

    10 Weeks :) w Pic

    As of today I lost 31.5 lvs since Jan 5th Just about out of the 170"s I started working out last week alternating cardio and stength weight training. Food i still a struggle, I dont have a whole variety of eating yet. I just starred adding fruit such as an apple and i can only eat half, I also had pb with it. Still struggle to get my water and all my protein in. Still a learning curve, of finding out which foods I can handle. I had a baby blizzard and it was so good. But at he end must of bene a big sugar attack and i was not feeling well at all, i wanted to make myself throw up, he feeling went away after an hour or so. And the next day no effects from the icecream, before I would hve direhea. I been having milk products for a while in, motly in thr greek yogurt and cheeses. I stick to almond Milk. Also i am Having the odd fruit smoothie every now and then, i can drink a cup but it takes me well ovr 30-60 mins depends how thick it is. Here is an updated pic
  4. On regular days and strength training days?
  5. no i dont mean eating extra. I definitly dont want to eat more. What Im asking is what if you work out in the morning, and you havent eatened all night, Then when i go ahead and exercise, blood sugars tend to go low. Thats why i feel there is a need to have my first meal before working out.
  6. I heard a few ppl dont eat before, but how are you able to sustain after a full 8 jours or plus sleep. Blood sugars tend to get liw for me when I exercise without eating first.
  7. Do you find it sustains you?

    2 Months In :)

    Update: This week I gained almost 2 . I guess because Im starting to eat a lot more. And I'm eating what ever I can eat! Not good. I need to change my mind mentally and start eating properly. I need to get over my unwillingness to have my veggies. Im prepared mentally for that by finding recipes thatI think will help me eat my veggie, now its a matter of cooking it and eating it. I still can't eat as much, I get full my a chicken leg, or half a small pork chop, an dI mean the size of the 2 fists of a newborn. Veggie soup: A few carrots, potato, and turnip, with probably a tablespoon or 2 of meat I can eat a cup no problem. I can have all meats, potato, carrot, turnip. Thats my veggie and meat range so far. I tried a fruit smoothie, 1/2 c Mixed berries, with a bit of orange juice with protein powder. Today I did some cardio; according to my fitbit I burned 450 cal in 45 mins. I was just doing dance videos. And a bit of my xbox kinnect dance games. Tomorrow Im going to do some weights. So much to learn, I still have yet got my water intake yet, and Im getting better with protein, I have been having about 60 so far and thats including protein supplement. Sometime today I will more then likely do my 2 month measurements and post and update pic. You definitely see a difference. Bye for now
  9. So confused, What is the guidelines you follow on a weight training day nutrition wise?
  10. Should I weight train yet? or wait until goal weight? And do just cardio for now?
  11. My last post, I mentioned about having the stomach flu or sleeve problems. it wa stye stomach flu Its passed now.And i am now starting to try to introduce more foods. Still hard to get all the water and protein in, Im trying a method of eating every 2 hours. Would love ideas for snacks and things to eat. I am on week 8 of eating now. Today I was surprised that I made my own shake today with berries and a banana and was able to finish it but be able to drink it normally. Not like sip, wait, sip wait. I used a straw, had a few sips and was fine. Weight Update: Starting Weight: 203 Current: 175 Net loss: 28 lbs This week was my lowest weight loss of 1.3 lbs. Around the 5th of March I'll post my update on my 2 month measurements. And update pics Stay tuned!

    Sick :(

    I don't know if I am experiencing dumping syndrome or not. But I had TMi; vomitting and diarhea for over 12 hours. or due to me not eating enough, and eating the wrong foods :S or simply the 24 hour bug. I had no incidences now for 3 hours. I can keep food and water down now. So I hope this not fun day has passed. Update: Other then today, everything is going great. Down 27 lbs now. Trying to do a bit of cardio, I was supposed o strength train but my body had other plans. Soon going to add my 2 month measurements
  13. So you dont have to worry about all the pre work out post workout stuff? Just follow your normal diet with a bit more protein?
  14. Here is my 1 month pics I lost 18 lbs, and 36 inches, you can see it the most on my stomach and my face. I still have liquid protein, and i have mashed potato, carrot, and Rutabega so far. I also have chicken, ribs, turkey. Just small amounts. I try to limit to 2 tbs of meat and 2 tbs of mashed veggie. I try really had to have water, Im still not even to 20 oz yet. But I don't constantly sip. Its hard especially when you go to stop 30 mins before and not have to drink 30 mins after for each meal you want to have. its hard to fit it all in. I get about 60 protein, and thats with 2 shakes and some meat. I still have yogurt and pudding still. I also can have a few fries, and had yam fries. And haven gravy. I find it hard now cuz when I eat I like to take more then 1 bite, and the food gets cold because you can't eat at a normal pace. I need to get used to one bite, chew swallow, wait a minute then take another. When I get full, I have a heavy chest feeling. and i just take a sip of a drink to help wash it down. My incisions have closed up, still red but healing Its been a good month. I want mac and cheese and pop!

    The Gurglies

    Anyone else experience it? I'm 6 weeks Post, and my stomach/chest make sa while lot of noticeable noise as I eat solid food or liquids sometimes. It can be funny at times, but annoying as well. I wonder when it will go away. I am not trying a bit of pasta, not too much. Pasta is my downfall, thats what caused me to gain a lot of my weight. It will be easier now since theres only pretty much only room for protein and veggies. Unless you make that you main meal.
  16. Everything is going good. Incidions are healing quite niceley. Still doing liquid protein and mashed foods. Down 13 lbs and really noticed a difference. Ps, stitches came out without s hitch. Done at home

    4 Weeks Post Op

    Down 15 pounds ! Almost in the 170's. Still having mashed food, so far potato, rutabaga, carrots. And I tried soft chicken today. I could of had more but I didn't want to overdue it because I also had some mashed veggies with it. I also been having greek yogurts, puddings, liquid protein shakes. Trying to stay away from soups and broths. Tired of it lol. I also started my vitamins today. My b12 strips are mint flavour and nasty for a few mins then becomes tolerable, then once I have a drink its fine. Its a challenge when I eat food I just want to gobble it all up. Funny thing I still don't feel actual normal hunger. Also my stomach bugles like crazy when I have solids. people can actually hear the gurgling. Incisions are healing. 2 of them are slightly open but slowly closing up.

    Day 10 Post Op

    Everything is going good so far. My stitches should be coming out any day now. Getting itchy and I want to pick the scabs lol. My stomach is chaffing now because it was rubbed so raw from the tape and bandage changes. I am still on liquids, I managed a cup of creme soup tonight, but I think I should have a little less because it was creamy, thickish. And after a few minutes I felt like throwing up; still learning my limits.
  19. I am on week 2. I can have full liquids. My question is that I been reading lots and from what I read full liquids you should consume 1/2c per "meal". I can go up to a full cup with no issues, even more, but I purposely stop at 1 cup, Should I stop at 1/c no matter what?
  20. I can have broths, pudding, cottage cheese, cream wheat. Stuff like that.
