At ten months, I was still in weight loss mode and a typical day might look like:
Breakfast: 2 oz spicy turkey sausage + 1 oz refried Beans
Lunch: 2 oz chopped chicken breast + 1 oz chopped green veggies + 1/2 T. salad dressing
Dinner: 2 oz tuna salad + 1 shirred egg
Another day might be:
Breakfast: 2.5 ounces Greek yogurt with 1/2 ounce almond butter stirred in
Lunch: 1/2 turkey spinach feta burger patty
Dinner: 2 oz lamb chop, 1 oz oven roasted broccoli
And another day:
Breakfast: 3 oz sirloin steak rolled with dabs of mustard inside romaine lettuce leaves
Lunch: 1/2 can sardines + 1 oz chopped grilled asparagus
Dinner: 1 egg + 1 egg white scrambled with curry sauce & 1 T. cheddar cheese
Snacks on all days: Protein shakes only
My basic rules were: 3 meals per day of 3 ounces per meal (at a year out I went up to 4-5 ounces per meal), no Snacks other than Protein Shakes
At least 2 oz of each meal must be high Protein food (meat, fish, eggs, beans)
No grains, starchy veggies, sweets, tropical fruits, or liquid calories other than Protein Shakes
I leaned heavily -- and still do -- on frozen and prepared food from Trader Joe's and my local food coop.

An naso-gastric (NG) tube (or oral-gastric, OG) is a tube put down into the stomach for various reasons - pump out the stomach, put in nutrition, deflate, etc. In an emergency, if you need to be intubated (breathing tube into the lungs) they often put in an NG tube at the same time. The procedure is "blind" because a scope isn't used, the tube is just pushed through the nose or the mouth and into the stomach.
NSAIDs are prohibited by most surgeons for lap-band and bypass patients, and most surgeons don't want VSG patients taking NSAIDs because the action on prostaglandin in the body increases the risk of ulcers.
And to be clearer related to my earlier post, it's never a bad idea to wear a Bracelet or necklace with medical information (or a medic alert number to get the info), but if you don't want to wear something, a card in your wallet with your drivers' license will likely get the info to the people who need it fast enough, since the hospital staff will want to get ID in the computer system ASAP if you're in an emergency and can't speak for whatever reason.

So yes ... I am freeeezing most all of the time ... But we're saving on our AC bill !
Went to the movies over the weekend ... ( Live in GA ) ... it's like 98% humidity and 97 degrees outside ... I'm wearing a jacket inside the theater .... ( jeans and a long sleeve shirt too )
People next to me are in shorts and tank tops looking at me like I just rolled out from under an igloo!
I'm just amazed at how my body temp has changed ... before I would be literally dripping sweat all the time ... now I'm sitting ( right now as a matter of fact ) with my desktop heater on ...
at home I'm in a sweatshirt and sweatpants ... and sometimes even have the hood up AND a blanket covering me !
It's strange strange ...
But hey ... if this is a side effect of losing weight and becoming healthier and feeling better and being able to do more things ...
I'M IN !!!!!!!!

It's important to get the Protein and using quality Vitamins. Most Vitamins only have about a 15% absorption rate in your body, but there are vitamins that have been proven to have a 95% absorption! I found switching to these vitamins as well as making sure I get my Protein in has helped with the hair loss and I also noticed my fingernails got weak as well but this also changed that too! Good luck on your journey!
