I feel like I have dumping syndrome now and I haven't even had surgery yet. I think it's a carb think with my diabetes.

@Meryline... if you eat 120g Protein, that's 480cal. 60g fat is 540 cal. 120g carbs is 480. Which brings you up to 1500 cal.
Yes, this is less than 50% of your calories as protein, but this should get your nutritional status up where it needs to be.
(In order to have 50% of your 1500cal as protein, you'd have to eat 187g protein a day.. 6 x 30g meals... totally wouldn't happen.)
I think the 50% is about looking at your plate. 1/2 protein food, and 1/2 veggies, fruits, and grains.
To give an idea what 120g carbs looks like:
1 cup Beans and 2 pieces ezekial toast, and 1 whole piece of fruit, and 1 cup potatoes.
Yep, you are gonna do nothin' but eat!

Hi Chynadoll619! You look absolutely amazing. I can only imagine how wonderful you feel seeing your results.This is YOUR journey an you keep doing exactly what you are doin. I find myself getting quite nervous and emotional the closer my surgery day comes which is 9/27 because I know this was one of the toughest decisions I have pondered on over the years and I pray for this kind of success on the post op side. My HW was 256, an being on this 2wk preop diet i haven't yet weighed in but my last appt 3 wks ago i was 242. I commend everyone on this journey because I know it's not easy so it's a time to empower and support one another because you never know what the next persons struggles are mentally or physically and these forums maybe a person's only place to seek support or encouragement. So again you keep doin your thing because you are doin it very well an thank you four having the courage to share you updates!

Hi i had fissures so i completely understand the level of discomfort they can be. Sitz baths are highly recommended and was advised by my Dr. Sitz baths will bring great relief for the pain, inflammation an swelling in that area. If u don't have a sitz bath a warm soak in the tub will also work and for a little extra healing I also added a few spoonfuls of Epson salt to the Water which worked wonders an helps for many ailments. I hope you feel better an this helps you out. Good Luck!

I find people will always have something to say whether u are a curvy girl or a skinny girl which is why i have not told anyone other than my kids an fiance. You are doing this for you an no one else and a healthier living therefore no ones opinion matters. This is your journey so go into it with a clear mind not worrying about judgemental people an very soon they will hush up when they realize u could care less what they think[emoji5]. GOOD LUCK!!

Amazing hon! You look fantastic! How far out are you if you don't mind me asking. I'm almost a year out from gastric sleeve and i feel like we are at a similar place. Are you at goal or still losing?
