  1. I am not getting diet info that helps me and I can't see my doc until next month. Can someone please help me by telling me what their daily diet consists of (a woman) in ounces and total calories, Protein, fat and carbs daily. My nut gives me plans that consist of foods I don't like and can't prepare as my work schedule does not allow me to cook each day and eat the same time each day. If I can get a daily target amount of nutrition for each day along with portion sizes in ounces or grams I think it may solve part of my problems. I'm not good at eyeballing a piece of meat to determine its the size of a deck of cards or estimating this piece of meat is about 1/2 cup. At this point I need to go by ounces/grams as I need a more specific way to determine portions. I'm doing something wrong and I'm giving up. I bought a digital scale so I can weigh everything in advance but I need to know how much. Thank you!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  3. I need to find a new doctor for my follow up visits for my sleeve procedure. I've called several doctors but none are willing to see me. Does anyone know of any doctor in the Baltimore, Maryland area who will see a post-op patient who is almost a year out? Any help will be appreciated.

    Help getting back on track!

    Thank you all for your suggestions! I do use fitness pal and love it. I set it at about 1000 Calories a day, I get at least 60 plus in Protein but I need to work on my Water. How do you all incorporate that into your meals? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  5. I'm 10 months post-op, lost 80lbs (including pre-op diet) but I've been losing and gaining the same 5 pounds since May! I'm doing good I think with my food choices but I eat and then suddenly feel super full. When do I know I've eaten enough before I over eat? Should I weigh my food and be limiting to a certain amount of ounces? Also, any good Protein bar suggestions? I do drink Premier Protein shakes but I prefer something solid at times. Can I get some good protein suggestions other than fish? I want to start loosing again but I need to find ways to deal with stress and depression without eating food. I do not find my doc to be a lot of help sadly. So...any help with me "resetting" would be great! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  9. I had the sleeve done last Monday, October 19, 2015 and unfortunately I had the most horrible experience in the hospital and several issues post-op. Although I should, I will not, state the name of the hospital or doctor. This experience has had a horrible mental effect on me and I just can't move forward with the doctor or hospital as a support systems if I want to succeed. I now find myself looking for a new doctor to handle my post-op needs as well as a hospital or facility that will offer a support system for me. Is there anyone out there that can help or recommend anyone in the Baltimore area? I began this journey excited with the chance to have a fresh start and motivated to help myself and to do everything necessary to be successful and now my spirit has been broken. I am just beside myself. I want to try and make this a good thing for me again and get past this so joining this site is my first step. Thanks for listening.
  10. I know my reply is late and you most likely had surgery but this doctor isn't mine....I hope you are happy with your progress. I have been dropping weight but I've gone through a deep depression over the situation and stopped loosing for several months, I drop and gain the same 5 lbs. I'm sure people will say get over it but you don't know what someone has been thru until you've Wales in their shoes. Now I have an issue finding a new dr to do my follow-ups with.

    60 grams protein?

    I like the Isopure Zero Carb protein drinks in the 20 oz. bottles. They have a bunch of flavors (grape, apple, punch, blue raspberry). they are 160 cals, 40 g protein - lactose free! They are a little pricey but the Vitamin Shop has them on sale now. I bought a few cases of them to stock up.
  12. I am having a hard time not drinking 30 minutes before and after meals!
  13. I had my surgery on 10/19 as well! I just started phase 3. I would love to connect with people that had surgery on the same date, I haven't even considered that til I read your post. I would like to know how you are and where you are in your process (as well as the other's who have posted stating they are interested in a buddy and had surgery around the same time we did). I've lost 25 lbs so far but I was required to do the 2 week pre-surgery liquid diet. I look forward to hearing from you all! Olga
