  1. Just wondering? Does everyone experience this? I am reading and it seems most do. I am 2.5 months out and so far so good but everytime I shower I look to see if I see hair in the tub.
  2. Does anyone have any good recipes for low calorie low carb dishes? I am lost at what to what to eat and so tired of the same ole things. Thanks!
  3. Thank u:) I have had no sugar at all since before surgery and my carbs are very low as well. I go next week for routine bloodwork. Maybe my b12 count is high. Also I had was very busy yesterday and didn't drink I should had. Maybe that was it?
  4. I am just a little over a month out and just today felt my first hunger pain. I was upset cause I hadn't felt one since before surgery. Will this mean I will be hungry all the time now or want to eat more? I hope not....
  5. I am drinking Premier....I wonder if that is Whey?
  6. I had bypass on June 19th. I am still having diarrhea with everything I eat every day. No matter if I have yogart, soup, eggs, etc I am so sick to my stomach. Even my protein drinks. Any suggestions? Will it pass with time?
  7. Thank u. I will get some. My team okayed meat after 2 weeks but I'm not ready. I had yogart this morn and my protein drink and feel pretty good today.
  8. So I am almost 4 weeks post op and everytime I eat it feels as though its stuck in my chest. I am stopping meat all together right now because it's the worse no matter how I chew but even yogart this morning didn't feel good. I had bad stomach issues before surgery and was hoping it would go away but it's gotten worse. I get terrified if I'm not close to he bathroom after eating because I never know how my stomach will react. Any advice would be so appreciated!!
  9. My plan is the same as yours. I'm 3.5 weeks out and meat still doesn't set well with me. It's like it just sits there forever no matter how long I chew it how wet it is. I am gonna give it a little longer and try again later. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BariatricPal mobile app
  10. I will and thank u. I just had some cheese and it hurt. I hope I didn't hurt myself.
  11. I will try that. I like them and few calories is always good:) Thanks so much!
  12. Your weight loss is amazing!!!! So happy for you!
  13. Really? For how long?
  14. So I'm at work and was at lunch, 3 wks post op and was having small bites of chicken breast that my team ok'd. I suppose it was too dry because after about 4 bites I felt as though it was caught in my chest and I barely made it to the bathroom before I threw it back up and man did it hurt!! I don't want to waste extra calories or carbs on dressings if I don't have to right now but I wanna eat the chicken for the protein. Any suggestions? I don't wanna have to go through that again!!
  15. I hope both our days are better next shift lol. I felt like I’d walked 10,000 miles. Oh well though it’s good for me I guess lol. Lets hope so and I'm sure it helps with our weight loss as well!!
  16. I was in so much more pain than i ever expected! I woke up from surgery feeling as though someone took a steak knife to my stomach! I just remember moaning and groaning so loud. I was so sick and needed to throw up but there was nothing there to throw up. Walking did help but the pain was so bad for the first three days but then started to get better day by day. I couldn't sleep laying down at all for about a week. I couldn't get up the pain was so bad so i slept in a recliner. I took pain med for about 4 days then just otc meds. I read where some people have little pain and I envy them. I felt like such a big baby. I always thought I had a high pain tolerance but after my bypass not anymore. lol Hang in there. I am 3 weeks out and no more pain at all!
  17. My first day back was yesterday and I worked a 12 hr shift and I felt as though I worked out 12 hrs!! I was exhausted!! I miss being home and wish I had more time to just rest. Oh well...guess life calls us back.
  18. Does anyone else have hot flashes after eating? Ugh! These are terrible!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BariatricPal mobile app
  19. I feel the same. No restriction when it comes to water. Kinda worries me also. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BariatricPal mobile app
  20. I felt this way until the 4 week mark. Once I was on soft foods and could incorporate more calories, then I felt better. I was even able to start working out. It takes time for your body to adjust. Hang in there, your energy will return. Hopefully like me, ten fold! I sure hope so! I love the thoughts of lots of energy!! Feeling like I have the flu is old!
  21. I'm taking my vitamins now. Started 10 days post op and have always been an avid vitamin taker so hopefully I'm ok there.
  22. I'm 16 days post OP and feeling weak. Thoughts of food make me nauseous but I try to eat what my plan allows anyhow. I am getting my protein in and most my liquid but still feel like poo. Any suggestions? I feel a as though I'm starving myself and not meaning to Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BariatricPal mobile app
  23. I am meeting all my requirements. I'm not upset at all. I'm really not. Actually I am happy with my 13 just a little surprised I didn't drop at least a pound or two. I've read enough on hear to know there will be stalls and know my surgery is fresh. I would like to know though how many times a day I am suppose to be eating soft food which my dr approved for us. If I ate when hungry I'd never eat.
  24. First week after bypass I lost a whopping 13 lbs! This week nothing!! What's up with that?? Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BariatricPal mobile app
