  1. Keto calculator, macro calculator, digital food Journal, MyFitnessPal, Baritastic, etc But you may have to write things out until you have a handle on it
  2. Reach out to your Surgeon/NUT/Team if you can for clarity, everything here will be mere conjecture based on personal experience Sorry
  3. IMHO always listen to your surgeons instructions immediately post op.
  4. Google. Google the parameters you want and if you cant find anything...
  5. ? CONGRATULATIONS ON EVERYTHING ?
  6. As promised a wrap using lettuce: pastrami/turkey/gouda I left it opened/unrolled for the pic to show the size of the lettuce leaf (A really large Tupperware top for scale ?)
  7. Where are the yams ?!?!?! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
  8. Collagen proteins work well too. You can make your own jello from pure gelatin and popsicles from whatever you will drink Good Luck ❤
  9. I was just eating them randomly ?
  10. Nuts are super calorically dense, way less bang for your caloric buck at 3 months post op. If you are ok with this, understand that your daily calories will likely be higher that what your NUT standardly recommends (for someone who is eating mostly proteins and nothing else) Good Luck ❤
  11. Shhhh... don't tell anyone but those are fancy waters ??? I'm still on that b*******
  12. What are you eating/drinking? Here's some caloric information on popular protein sources
  13. Oh, I WILL take you up on that offer, I'm SHAMELESS ?
  14. 1 month + Update: Life is progressing along, some days it like I never had surgery other days a sneeze leaves me incapacitated ? Belly button is coming along better now. My Primary swapped it for kicks and giggles to run a culture because she is that thorough. Turned out positive for an infection... no doubt from my inability to keep the area dry during showering. No problem, messaged my surgeon to keep him in the loop and set up a follow up visit some time soon. Received a rx for antibiotics and I'm using a wound wash after I shower to clean the area as well as bacitracin. I am so glad I have a surgeon and primary who are consistently accessible. Current weight today is 152 but 2 days ago ot was 162 because of water retention and swelling ? this is exactly why you cant always trust the scale. I'm sure ill be something else tomorrow. Sadly with the water weight/ swelling I developed really nice curves and now they're gone again ? Bathing suit pics below (this suit didn't accommodate my breast pre surgery but now its slightly loose)
  15. L*A*X*A*T*I*V*E*S Ask your surgeon what's the strongest one you can take. Don't try to be a hero ?

    Awwww thank you so much However my BF laughed so so much this morning as I threw a fit because of this new development... Or lack there of ?
  19. Your Surgeon is absolutely spot on, IMHO go with the RNY bypass I chose VSG originally as I had no precursors to GERD/Reflux but I developed it along the way. I had to be converted to RNY. *Please note: It doesn't happen that way for everyone* The decision you may have to weight is if you are at a higher risk (which you are) will you be comfortable having a second surgery (revision/conversion) Good Luck❤

    Well bad news bears, deflate gate happened overnight as I lost 4 more lbs of water weight and as the swelling subsided my newly lauded hips disappeared. Back to square one So plastics it is.
