Tabathia reacted to GiantRN in Pre op diet wearing me down
Ugh, It's killing me too. I'm one week in and 16 pounds down. The work crew is doing a new years pot luck tonight and they all brought such amazing looking and smelling food. I about felt like breaking down in tears. It sucks but it'll be worth it! We can do this!

I was unable to stop drinking coffee, still drink a ridiculous amount [emoji19]

Tabathia reacted to Jeaniered in What Post-Sleeve Rules Do You Break?
I'm 2 months since sleeve, I can't drink all the Water, I forget to chew, I drink coffee and tea (it's allowed), I occasionally drink wine and gin and tonic. I never manage all my Proteins.

I've been careful to follow the rules except for one. I need my coffee. I started drinking coffee again about three weeks ago. I'm doing good otherwise.

Tabathia reacted to KarenOR in Popsicles?
The lowest calorie ones, I think, are the Popsicle brand, sugar free at 15 calories each. They are available just about anywhere. I suppose you could also make your own with Crystal Light or something similar.

Tabathia reacted to BigAussieGirl in What couldn't you be without now?
I prepared and brought so much food for post surgery and it was a waste of time. I was on liquids for 2 weeks. After 48 hours I felt fine and could defiantly prepare a meal or go to the shops.
The only thing I would suggest would be lip balm for the hospital, I always get cracked lips in hospital...
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Tabathia reacted to Creekimp13 in Sample Menu from dietitian for Week Five 1141 Calories, 103g Protein
I'm loving that we're moving away from so many Protein supplements, eating real food, balancing healthy carbs, and getting some plant protein in there. And fruits and veggies make me smile! Couple more weeks until salad...and I'm dying for one:)

Tabathia reacted to briae13 in Water & eating?
So I know it's not advised to eat & drink at the same time (20 mins before/after rule) because it flushes the food/nutrients through the new pouch. I was wondering if the same effects happens with a small sip or two to help with dry/spicy food? I know once I have surgery I may not have a desire or capability to drink while eating but right now this seems to be one of my toughest habits to break...

Tabathia reacted to 1234567890 in 10 months post-op,. Down 175 lbs… 40 lbs more to lose
Hi all, quick update, I am close to my 10th month post-op.
I was VSG’d 03/10/17, HW: 405, SW: 385, CW: 230. My goal weight is 190.. It is very hard to shed last 40 lbs, it seems to be attached to my body LOL.. I am very thankful to this process; it is definitely a great tool. However, it is 50/50 we need to engage the other 50% and battle every day with our old bad habits. I am satisfied with my weight loss, but really wanted to lose more weight by now, I hit stalls 3 times, and they last for weeks.. I don’t even look at the scale, now is my enemy (LOL) , instead I rely on clothing and noticed I am losing size… I increased my workouts the last 4 months, I do 4-5 times a week (1.5-2 hrs), I split weight training and HIIT. Now I am working really hard on core workouts.. I hope I can meet my goal by March 1st,
PS: pardon quality of photos.. as header says (quick update)
haring this few photos for now… Will post more in March and I hope I can see a difference. You always friend Carlos….

@Redd73 I cooked veg and garlic in beef Bone Broth and strained them out added a dash of cayenne....in chicken bone broth I cooked some cabbage, onion, spinach, added a tsp of lemon juice and a dash of cayenne.
I liked Jay Robb dreamsicle shakes, and Isopure ready-made blue raspberry or punch - they are tart and good on ice, can dilute w half a glass of crystal light lemonade. Hang in there, it feels like 10 years to be consuming liquid diet but it gets better on the 'other side' by week three....chin up!

Hi I am Lisa and I'm having my Gastric bypass surgery December 12th. This liquid diet is killing me. I am so sick of Protein Shakes popsicles broth and Jello. Is there any secrets out there to make these things taste a little more glamorous? I have just a couple of more days to go. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Pre-Op but surgery is next Tuesday. I'm pumped up with excitement, my 2 week liquid diet has me down by 30 pounds and feel so mush better. Yet I read horror stories on the post-op recovery. I'm praying for a smooth recovery, yet preparing myself for far less than smooth!
