How much protein do you get in a day?
QueenOfTheTamazons replied to cuteNATL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 30 days post op. I get a min of 60 but aim for 80. In the last week I was averaging 75. My main source lately has been a shake I have for Breakfast made of 5oz fairlife milk, 5oz fairlife chocolate milk, 1 tbs GENEPRO and 1 tbs PB2. Its 242 cals and 48g Protein. It takes me 2-3 hours to drink it, but most cause I forget its there when at work. HW 385 SW 359 CW 338 Sleeved 10/5/16 -

QueenOfTheTamazons replied to Redmaxx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like to use liquid eggs and scramble 1 oz fairlife milk to 4 oz egg. It creates a really soft moist egg. Its 82 cals and 15g Protein. HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16 -

Walking the dogs

I walked each of my 3 dogs for 20min. 6000 steps! HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16 -
My bariatric nurse said that she wanted me to get at least 800 cals a day, as anything less was a starvation diet. She also said 70g of Protein a day and 80-100 when I started working out. I was at 600-750 a day. I still have problems getting 64 oz of Water but I am getting better. HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16

Past life drive through foods...eye opener!
QueenOfTheTamazons replied to The New Kel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was a double cheeseburger addict too. My typical order was two doubles (add grilled onions) or a double and mcchicken and a large fry. Thats over 1300 cals and that woukd just be lunch or dinner. I would usually have another similar meal. HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16 -
Period, constipation, stall or all of the above?
QueenOfTheTamazons posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was 338 on 10/30. On 11/1, I was 341.4. I dodnt worry about it because i the last couple of days had been closer to 1000 cals because of our anniversay and because I hadnt "eliminated". On 11/2, I was 340.6. I also had some spotting. I have mirena and havent period in years, so this was a bit weird. But the spotting has stopped. Today, I was 339.8. Its going down a bit but I realized the last time I remember having a decent size "elimination" was Saturday. Do I consider this the three week stall (4 weeks post op yesterday), some psuedo period or constipation? If stall or constipatio, what do you guys suggest to "break through"? I would really like to . Thanks HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16 -
Period, constipation, stall or all of the above?
QueenOfTheTamazons replied to QueenOfTheTamazons's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ive been getting around 60oz of fluids. I have a hard time remembering to drink. I was always a volume drinker, 16-24oz at a time a few times a day primarily with meals. The fluxuations in weight dont usually bother me. I have been daily weighing because i jumped my cals at the advice of my bariatric nurse and i wanted to keep track of the results. Dairy is my go to food. I use fairlife milk and genpro for Breakfast and oikos yougurt for lunch. They are my primary Protein sources during work hours. For the past 13years i have had cronic diarrhea as a side effect of gallbladder removal, so i have never dealt with long term constipation. Its a new issue for me. A coworker suggested raisins. I was planning on walking the dogs (rather than fetch in the backyard) so hopefully that will help. HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16 -
I was a cheap date (half a cocktail could get me buzzed) prior to surgery, so I am choosing to abstain. I dont want to have a couple of sips and start stripping. Lol HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16

Not losing weight
QueenOfTheTamazons replied to Jenny9541's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on the same day. Are You getting enough calories? I was averaging 600-750 cals and losing about 0.5lbs a day. My bariatric nurse said i should be getting at least 800cals as less is a starvation diet. When i jumped, i lost on average 1lb a day... That may be different for you because of starting stats, but it doesnt hurt to try. At worst you have another week of slow loss. Except now because of constipation. Nargh!

Does anybody elses scale mess with them?
QueenOfTheTamazons posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I swear my scale has a sick sense of humor. Today's weight loss would put me over into my first 10%, so I was super excited to weigh. But my scale gave me three different weights 2x each. 347.4 (gain of 0.6), 346.8 (even) and 345. The first 345 blinked and shut off so I did it again and came back the higher number and I was thinking WTF, so I weighed again and its the mid mumber. I try a couple of more time trying to get the same number twice in a row... no go. I give up. My scale is a jerk. HW 385 SW 359 Sleeved 10/5/16 -

Does anyone else plan and celebrate mini goals?
QueenOfTheTamazons replied to QueenOfTheTamazons's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats!!! Also, looking into getting a FitBit... but was undecided. Like the reviews on the Alta. Which fitbit do u have & how do you like it?I have the alta. I really like it. Husband has the original flex but we might upgrade for him. Unless you really want the HR ability, I recommend the alta. I think it looks better on a womans wrist and it has lots of accessory style bands to dress it up. HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16 -

I like this new bracelet/band for the fitbit alta. Trying to decide if for christmas or a goal reward. It depends on what else cool I find. Lol https://www.etsy.com/listing/475437492/pre-order-alta-sanabelle-fitbit-bracelet HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16 -

Ive got a back piece planned for goal... maybe after plastics, depends on how things "hang" HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16 I have horseback riding on my list. Not sure when... it depends on what the weight limit is. HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16 -

I added them to a bucket list app. When I complete it, it draws a line through it and moves it to the bottom. I like seeing things moved to the bottom. HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16 -
1 week weigh in post op
QueenOfTheTamazons replied to mzvanessa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel less restricted at that cal range. I get a Breakfast lunch dinner and snack which helps keep the fatman (head hunger) at bay. Plus, eating more AND losing more weight = WIN/WIN!!! HW 385 SW 359 CW 340 Sleeved 10/5/16
