I'm three weeks Wednesday and I'm on protein. My program suggest three meals a day ND no snacking. I have a egg for breakfast, tuna for lunch and been trying different meat at dinner. Very small amounts. So far so good.

Will we ever be able to drink liquids like we use to?
shawnak911 replied to Lovelyladybee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Who knew sipping would be so hard? I feel I don't get that satisfied feeling unless I drink half the water bottle. -
Good luck. And walk walk walk after surgery. Best of luck!

My surgeon and NUT will not approve patches.

Progresso Soup ...
shawnak911 replied to CantStopMeNow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had soup the last ten days and didn't worry about the label. 1/4 cup three times a day was not gonna add up. Good luck -
My name is Shawna. Had bypass on 2/15. Down 14 pounds in two weeks 40 total since I started my program in November. Feel great already. Are you a dispatcher? 911

I'm only two weeks out and disappointed in the scale. But trying on clothes in my closet...that is what made me say "wow"! Just keep working the program. Good luck to both of us.

One Week Ago Today & So far So Good
shawnak911 replied to miss_malis's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I had my surgery two weeks ago and have a 2 yr old. I had my parents help for two days and it wasn't needed. But everyone is different. I didn't take pain meds at home and went on with my life. Water and fluid intake no problems. Moving onto food tomorrow goodbye soups and pudding. -
Scheduled for 03/02 Anyone else?

Good luck to all of you. Just remember to walk when in recovery. -
Birth Control
shawnak911 replied to sleevingbeauty321's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the bypass and was told the pill increased chances of blood clots and therefore had to go off it. Make sure to discuss it with your surgeon as well as your obgyn. -
Birth Control
shawnak911 replied to sleevingbeauty321's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had to stop my pills before surgery and go with another plan. I got the DEPO shot about three weeks prior to surgery and couldn't be happier. It's already stopped my period which has been great. I was told the pill was a thing of my past. -
My NUT always says go back to the beginning to the basics and get on track. Don't wait til Monday just do it now. You can do it!

Eating too much at this stage
shawnak911 replied to shanm's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Cheetos and popcorn and you're not even healed yet? I hope you can remember why you did this surgery and get on plan soon. Best of luck. -
When do you get your surgery date?
shawnak911 replied to MelissaRose24's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon didn't give me a date. It wasn't until I met goal weight, attended classes, met with the shrink and then my case worker assigned my date. She basically held the cards. But that's Kaiser, Northern California. -

Skipping meal plan phases
shawnak911 replied to Resha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a week out and feel I can eat anything. But it's not about us. It's about the new pouch and our insides healing properly. I have to remind myself that. Good luck -

Hello everyone. New to forum
shawnak911 replied to JDBR2017's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm with you. No pain no meds easy to walk. Had bypass on 2/15. I only had to stay on clear liquids for three days. I'm on soft foods now for ten days and I'm loving it. Yogurt, soup, applesauce, jello and pudding. -
10,000 steps a day is phenomenal. It's the equivalent of five miles. I used to take my dog out twice a day and struggle hitting goal. I'm usually between 6000-7000.

I'm on my way!!
shawnak911 replied to strengthin#ers's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
After surgery walk walk walk. I got up at a quarter to every hour and walked til the hour. I went home the next morning with no pain, no gas, no nausea. Two days later no meds at all. Just walk. -
Vitamin/protein gummies when?
shawnak911 replied to mexicosleever88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had to start the vitamin regimen day three. Multi vitamin chewable twice a day, calcium chews three times a day, iron, b12 and vitamin D. -
Anybody on Atkins?
shawnak911 replied to hermione53's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The diet set up after surgery is basically Atkins. High protein low carb. Just work your program and you'll be fine. Good luck!
