    Prilly82 reacted to Tufflaw in The need to eat until stuffed   
    Have you ever seen Finding Nemo? Remember the scene with "fish are friends, not food!" Well, right now, fish are your friends, AND food. tuna fish is great, it's filling, and has ZERO fat and ZERO carbs (get the stuff in Water, not oil). For dinner tonight - 0 carbs, 0 fat, 26 Protein, and only 120 calories! I added some lite mayo, 1 carb, 3.5 fat, 0 Protein, 35 calories. Also put 1 oz of shredded cheese on top just for taste, 1 carb, 9 fat, 6 protein, 110 calories. Healthy, protein-rich, low carb, low fat, low cal, and I was stuffed at the end. Very filling.
    If you're craving bread, I've heard good things about a cauliflower crust pizza - just make the base and don't put any toppings on if you don't want, and you've got a bread-like snack that's much healthier.
    For several days in a row I had homemade chicken salad. I put 4 chicken breasts in a crockpot with some low sodium chicken broth and a little barbecue sauce for taste. Next morning they were really soft. Ground them up in the food processor, add some some lite mayo, sweet relish and mustard, and it's great! One 4.5 oz serving (are you ready for this?) - 0.5 carbs, 3.1 fat, 39 (!) protein, and 196 calories. That's half your protein in one meal. And it's filling too.
    Just plan ahead, I know it's a cliche but if you don't plan to succeed you're planning to fail.
    One last suggestion, I've been eating Shelly's Ricotta Bake almost every day (it's amazing) - one serving is 6.8 carbs, 12.5 fat, 16.3 protein, and 206 calories.
    You can do it, just remember why you got the surgery in the first place. Nothing worthwhile is easy, just tell yourself that you WILL do it.

    Prilly82 got a reaction from GBLady41 in My VSG experience in Tijuana from start to finish!   
    I got a prescription from my dr on what medications i needed post op. But in Mexico you can buy most meds without prescription and there shouldn't be any issue at the border. I brought meds for my husband for hypertension too. There was a time I was flighting back from Mexico and there was a pharmacy in the airport and we bought meds there to bring home. Anyway you shouldn't have any issue coming back home with your meds they will give you a medical pass for crossing the borders as well.

    Prilly82 reacted to shedo82773 in 6 days post op and screwed up bad...   
    Come on now. I totally think she gets it!! And every Dr.'s guidelines are different. I don't think she would lie about the prune juice and able to have 100% juice. She got it pretty hard guys. Each and every one of us had and still do make mistakes. She admits to having PSTD and an eating disorder she needs a little slap on the hand (which I feel she got whole heartedly) Hon, I am scared for you. Please reach out to your Dr and your Nutritionist/counselor. Like you said we all have problems with our food. Don't take everything that was said to you hard. KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!

    Prilly82 got a reaction from ChickenChick in Any other November sleevers out there?   
    Hi. I am feeling good, better than i thought Id be. I had a lot of pain on my shoulders. I also had a hiatal hernia repair with the sleeve, so think that is what caused this pain. Other than that i am fine. Sticking with the clear liquid diet.
