Sassyprassy

These are a few photos of my changes. the one with the 2 pictures, the purple shirt was in Aug. the other one was in October. The other photos were taken today. Do you see much of a change. I see it a bit.

Man this weekend was rough.. My husbands Aunt died and we had to go out of the town to pay our respects. So that means.... Restaurants.. First restaurant his family wanted to go to was Chinese food Buffet.. So $24.99 a plate and lots of grease later...... I am a bit sick.. I tried to stick with veggies and the meat that is mixed in it, but they cook that with lots of oils. So i had more salad than anything.. Just not filling plain old salad. Ok then next day.. Well gee lets go to PIZZA... Soooooo here I go again. Hubby ordered medium pizza, deluxe, and I had one slice and I was done.. The place we stayed at was last minute so they had no groceries and it was too late to go shopping. So all morning I lived off cheese strings.. That was ok.. But I went to grocery store and got yogurt for my breakfast the next day.. No Protein Premier in Montreal, Quebec that I seen. So i was a bit ticked. Anyways I weight myself today and from last week i lost over 10lbs.. How did that happen. I hav eno clue. I thought I would of gained it from this weekend.. I am also still having to eat every 2 hours. My stomach is in like lots of pain. hunger pain, and I just can't keep up with eating.. I am constantly making meals and having LOTS of left overs but how long do they last in fridge.. 2 days???? So how is everyone else doing with their WL.

No still only losing a pound or so a week. I have no eating issues. As long as I don't chew forever. I try to take smaller bites. I still can't eat a cup per meal but I want to eat every 2 hours. Mine could be acid. I feel bad because I have not been regular in taking my antacids. I had one of my sons move in and my hubby lost his job. So I can't afford the $100 a month for them. I am hoping next week I can Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

My weight loss is at a stall too. I was losing a lot. and now I lose about 3lbs in a week. My biggest worry still is eating. I would eat and 2 hours later I would have to eat again. I am eating full portions. Someone said more protein but I at a chicken breast no skin, boneless last night and 1 1/2 hours later I wanted to eat again. So i had my protein shake and 1 horus after that I wanted to eat again. I know it is my stomach because it would hurt soooo much until I went to eat it. The hunger pains. I am so worried about regaining my weight back because I can eat anything. well all that is on the list. I never got sick yet. Oh wait I did w hile cooking a turkey. Smell made me sick. But i never liked turkey anyways. But the food going down nothing makes me sick. I dont know if i am listening to my body when I am full or what. Other issues is when chewing I chew my food a lot but if it gets too soggy or mushy then I am gagging. so i can't chew it that much. I try to chew at least 20x. But it does not take me an hour at all to eat. More like 10 -15 min. So that worries me. I worry I am stretching my stomach eating more solid foods. Anyways else having this issues.

I feel the same way. I am 6 weeks post op and omfg. I eat and about 2 hours later I am starving. Like my stomach is killing me wanting food. It does not matter what I eat. Although if i do not eat protein i am hungry and hour later. Yesterday I only had a chicken breast. No skin and no bone. I only lasted 1 1/2 hours and I needed to eat again. Instead of eating again I went and had my protein shake. But that only lasted an hour. Am i the only one wanting to eat all the time.

Hello, Yes i am doing way much better. Maybe eating what I should not be.. I dont know. I am on solids. and I am sticking to the diet they are telling me. But i have been eating almost everything as long as it is on the list. the vitamins I was on Procare vitamins. Big huge orange ones. I found it is the vitamins themselves. I at first thought it was the food i was mixing it with. But eventually figured out it was the vitamins. The taste and how it sits in my stomach I dont like it. I got free samples from Pro Care and they sent me capsuls. A waste of time but I have been taking them because they are better than nothing. I am waiting for the other meds to come in. I orderd new ones from Bariatric that are tastier.. I was able to try some at the clinic i go to. My favorite things to eat right now are Egg salad sandwich, Chicken Greek salad, and Chicken with cauliflower I have been having a few mental breakdowns.Which i was told is normal. I use to love food and it bugs me sometimes that I can't eat more foods. I miss popcorn, and my nuts

What is everyone doing to help with portion control. I seen many things on amazon to help but just curious what everyone else is doing Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

Since June 18 I have lost about 40lbs. 1 month optifast and then surgery July 17. This week i have been emotional and irritable. Friday was my last day of school, we had pot luck. I brought potatoe salad because that was all I was able to eat. And Saturday I went to my mother in law for a family get together and I had to bring food I can eat. I am getting sick of making food every where I go. I want to eat solids. Like a Caesar salad or steak. Hamburger sausage. I am also in these vitamins I bought and I can't stomach them. I eat a few and vomit. So who knows how much I am getting in. Yes my rant for the day. Here is a before and after picture so far. Before picture was taken in March. Other picture was taken 2 half weeks post op Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

So I seen this recipe to make pancakes using only eggs and milk. Well I don't want to use syrup. What other things can I do. Also when can I have peanut butter? Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was told 2 weeks of full liquid, puree for 2 weeks then at one month the bariatric program said they will tell me if I can start solids. I was so happy today. I had edamame today and I was almost crying. It is my favorite. I had Melba toast and homemade spinach dip with ricotta cheese. So so good. Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yesterday I was struggling with wanting something else. So... I decided to try peanut butter. I had a tsp and I felt like I ate a rock. It hurt so much. Today I went to my grandparents house and they made cheese cauliflower and I was able to stomach it. No problem at all. And man it was so so good.. Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

I got the sleeve done same day as all of you. I am not sure what is going on as I feel normal now. First 4 days it hurt to drink water. Now I can gulp it and it won't hurt until the 4 of 5th gulp. Anyways I am on full fluid. Milk, pudding, yogurt, apple sauce, juice, cream soups. I can't wait until next week when I can go on baby food. Or puree foods. I am having a hard time getting enough liquid in. I feel like all I do is eat and drink. Then my urine is still really really dark. Anyone else. Has anyone had sex yet? I have a few times. Not sure if that was right of me to do. But hubby was gentle and no pain. So.... Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am on full liquid as well but it took a lot 3 days to eat more than 2 tbsp at a time

My issue was no pain at all. I was on oxy and I felt that is all I did in hospital was sleep. I was surprised they sent me home 24 hours after surgery

I had my surgery on Monday too. I found I get it and I eat a bit then I have a new pain. But it goes away.
