Surgery on Dec 27th. What did you replace food with?
liannatx replied to MickeyKat's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A water bottle! -
I was off 6 days. It was do-able with no lifting, but the tiredness is REAL. Your body needs to recover.

Best foods to introduce first?
liannatx replied to chuswysly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Solids or soft pureed on your plan? I started with Tilipia. Did fine with 2 oz. Solids don't seem to take as much as the purees to hit the satisfied point. -
Having trouble on soft protein stage
liannatx replied to time_for_me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ate chicken salad almost every day at that stage. Canned chicken breast makes it super easy to make also. -
I went protein crazy!
liannatx replied to gettingsleeved1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Syntrax Nectars! I liked the Isopure over ice, and really liked the Syntrax Nectars mixed with Water and over ice. I still keep a container of Cappuccino for the random mornings I drink a Protein instead of having some Breakfast. -
Nail polish/Acrylic nails

I kept nails on, I was told I could with a french manicure. I took my toenail polish off. -

I need full liquid suggestions please!
liannatx replied to sleeverv's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Egg drop soup! Strain or puree, it was heavenly. Felt like a "real food" treat. -
Finally a real before and after picture

You look fabulous! Very inspirational. -
Isopure zero carb flavours
liannatx replied to Shell ????'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The Peach Mango flavor is the absolute worst in my opinion. Most of the others are good to tolerable for me. With 40 g Protein per bottle, they are also good if you mix half and half with Water and add some Mio or Crystal Light in a flavor that you like. That also lets you split the bottle into two servings of 20g protein and helps with fluids. -
When will I stop regretting this surgery?
liannatx replied to LadyJustice007's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The regret should pass as you heal and are able to get more fluids and foods down. I hope this happens soon for you. Like most of us (once fully healed) I only regret not doing it sooner!- 134 replies

This can not be correct! (Bra talk)
liannatx replied to Nurse_Lenora's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Wow... that says I need a 36 I, lol. No way. I was 35 in on the band and 44 in around the bust, but I have always worn a D or DD depending on my weight. The one I am wearing now fits like a dream and is a DD, I imagine they would just drip to the bottom of an H or I cupsize and leave the top full of air ; ) I also have to bend over and pour them into the bra... I see a breast lift in my future dreams. -
Any juice protein drink suggestions?
liannatx replied to DMH82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Syntrax Nectars. The fruity flavors mix easily in Water with no clumping. Mixed with water it has 100 calories, 0 carbs, and 24 g of whey isolate Protein. -
Look! I can wear bright colors!
liannatx replied to Djmohr's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I love the top, and it looks great on you! -
Vacation season...What are your plans?
liannatx replied to Healthy_life2's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
Anything with water! Cruise with hubby, neice and nephew in June. Planning an all girl trip to camp out and float a river in June also. We are spoiled girls, so will take a camper or get a room... have to have AC and toilet, lol! Hubby and I will most likely also take a trip to New Braunfels to go tubing or rafting, we do every summer! Will be so much more fun at this size!!! -
Do you need someone to take care of you after WLS?
liannatx replied to nikki78's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I didn't really need any extra care or help. My husband wanted to hover/help, but I knew that the more I moved around the sooner I would feel better. I wanted to get up and move around for circulation and to prevent blood clots, and also to work out trapped air. -
how important are teeth after surgery?
liannatx replied to CallMeTee's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I think things like eggs, chicken salad, tuna salad, Tilipia or other fish would be easy options for Protein even after the puree stage. You will limited to 2-4 oz per meal/snack.... you should be able to make workable meals until you get implants. Even cooked broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, etc... shouldn't pose a problem. -
Need help choosing my protein shake.
liannatx replied to Taltyana's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
1 scoop of the Isopure has the best numbers. I personally like the Syntrax Nectars. -
Looking great, and happy!
-
Yes, I have lost half to a full shoe size. I can wear insoles in most of my shoes and have them still fit, which is actually great as it makes them more comfortable. I only a have a few pair, plus my favorite black boots, that are just flat out too big.

@saasycat@bypassdoll Have you tried the Syntrax Nectars? They are fruity StarBurst like flavors that mix great with Water. More like Kool Aid. 100 calories, 0 carb, 24 g Protein.
-
Yes, some flavors are good... some aren't. I personally gag on the Peach Mango.
