Travelher

it is a forever thing. if i am dehydrated I'll drink up to 15 minutes before...but never sooner than 30 minutes after. it pushes food through your stomach too quickly and 1 or both of two things can happen. Dumping syndrome (trust me you don't want that) or it can make you hungry again quickly...don't think you want that either. I was never told the 30 chews, just to chew my food well.

I have to say I can't recommend Quest chips, they have a terrible aftertaste...like this dusty flavour. I do like the Kay's Naturals chips though...more tolerable, left of that powdery aftertaste.

You can customize without premium...it is done in the goals section. you can set your own macros and change the dashboard as well.

Im not sure what ending your day would do for you. I never have and I'm not missing anything..journal entries are there, macros are there. not sure what i gain by closing it out..I can get reports on my nutrition, weight loss etc...

My dietitian wants a minimum of 100 carbs a day as well. I was between 30-50. carbs do help brain function and I have noticed an improvement in forgetfulness since I started adding them back in. I am trying to a 35% carbs, 25% fat and 40% Protein macro balance. I usually end up around 30/30/40. at my current calorie intake I end up with 76 grams of carbs which are mainly from oats with chia seeds for Breakfast and blueberries. as I up my calories I'll hit the 100 grams of carbs/day. i looked at my food diary yesterday and I had 76 grams of carbs, however when you consider the carbs i eat are all high in Fiber if you subtract that (24 grams) I netted around 52 grams of carbs.

I'm following macros..30% carb, 30% fat 40% protein

Wow I've never heard of someone dumping with every meal. I wonder if it is a surgical mistake?I wish I knew so I could help her What does her doctor say? I hope she's been back or gone to someone for a secon opinion. That should definitely not be happening.

I agree with you that this stuff makes me sad. I stumbled upon a vlog of a young girl post surgery talking about her first drink etc etc, she wasn't following plan either, was getting into it with people offering constructive criticisim, fast forward to a few years later, her vlog show that she is now an alcoholic and has countless health issues including seizures. It was her last vlog and it was 5 years ago. Have a feeling there was not a good outcome there...was disheartening.

Thanks! Yes and no. I planned breakfast: overnight oats (chia seeds and oats with premier protein) (brought that with me, but picked up the premier when I got here. Did a Walmart run as soon as I landed to pick up the protein and snacks like blueberries and almonds. Then just ate out for meals and took home leftovers for lunch at the office.

So am traveling this week and noticed my clothes felt looser. I took out my tape measure and it says I've lost 2 inches from my waist in the last 3 days!!! So I took a picture...these pictures are 1 week apart. Awesome!

Congrats! That is huge progress in such a short amount of time!

wow that must be hard. I agree to try the egg Protein powders. i have a whey aversion now, though i can tolerate premier (I think it is a mix). I would not have gotten close to the protein goals on food alone at your stage. and even at my 6 week check in the dietitian acknowledged that almost nobody can meet protein goals that early on.

I'm travelher on my fitnesspal. If you want to add me you can go back to the beginning and see what I was eating In The early days. My surgery date was oct 4. I'm assuming you are around a month out so take a look at November.

For me it is nausea, hot flashes, sweaty, dizziness, racing heart. Just wanting to curl up in a fetal position for an hour...awesome...Not! Others throw up, others get explosive diarrhea

Can also be a sign of not enough carbs. Our bargains need carbs to function properly. I had the same. Mine has gotten better once I started adding healthy carb so back in. First bump in brain power came when my calories started upping, second was adding carbs.

I can't do crackers...slider foods...yep, gateway food for me..yep. I could live on cheese and crackers. I don't keep them in the house. I also do nuts for crunch..also, Water chestnuts...awesome in anything you want to add crunch to like chicken salad, but not high in fat like nuts. I use cucumbers to eat with dips like hummus.

Your surgeon should be able to provide their own complication rates. Based on my surgeon's data that isn't even close to being true. Also not close to being true based on all the studies being read. Here are my doctors short and long term complication rates for sleeve and rny for reference.

Complication rates are so low. And usually lower than the health risks associated with staying fat. I felt like a heat attack waiting to happen 3 months ago...everyone's situations are different, but noodle on that

Your hunger pangs are probably not hunger, but are acid...I thought I was hungry until I started Prevacid for reflux and the hunger pain was suddenly gone. Are you on a ppi?

I use rogaine. It worked when I had the band years ago...hair started to regrow...so this time I started it preventatively

Not true, people experience it differently and. The causes are different too. I have a friend who dumps by projectile vomiting for hours...she was eating sweets. I have only dumped from my Protein shake. Drinking too fast did it. I get hot flashes, nausea, dizzy and feel totally gross.

I just ride it out. I dump if I drink my protein shake too fast. It sets in within 15 minutes and lasts an hour then is gone. I get nausea, dizziness, hot flashes and generally feel gross.
