The Preacher

I like manshape by Under works, they are very well made.

I do use a small 6.5" plate, I'm eating about 1,000 calories per day, that's what my nutritionist told me to eat. I do notice some food's I can't eat 8oz. Things like chicken or stack. Things like ground beef, it seems like I can eat more. I'm getting all my protein and liquids in everyday with no problems at all. As for as the dude thing, it has more than one meaning, one means city slicker, that I'm not, I was born and raised in the country. The other means a man, and that I am, now days there may be other meanings that I don't know of, but if you want to call me a dude that's ok with me.[emoji106] Sent from my SM-J727VPP using BariatricPal mobile app

I eat my proteins first, for an example today I had a four and a half ounce meatball which I chewed very well, after that I had three and a half ounces of green beans. Sent from my SM-J727VPP using BariatricPal mobile app

At 2 months post-op how many ounces were you able to eat, I can eat 8 ounces before I feel full, I know that everyone is different but does this seem to be to much? Thinks!! Sent from my SM-J727VPP using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi everyone, it's been eight weeks today since I had surgery. I've been reading the forums but I've been pretty busy lately and haven't had much of a chance to make any post. I'm so thankful that I decided to have this surgery, I've had absolutely no complications at all, no pain no nausea nothing at all. I have been able to get between 80 and 90 g of Protein every day, and anywhere from 68 to 75 ounces of liquids everyday, I'm maintaining approximately 1,000 cal a day. I have lost a considerable amount of weight, I've went from a 4XL shirt to a XL and from a size 56 to a size 38 in pants. I have truly been blessed!

Yes, will be taking it for 6 months post surgery.

Thanks everyone! Sent from my SM-J727VPP using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm having trouble finding protein water where I live, those of you who drink protein water where do you buy it at? Thanks! Sent from my SM-J727VPP using BariatricPal mobile app

Both.

I started on phase 3 on 9/5/18 which is the pureed phase. Yesterday I had scrambled eggs with a little Mayonnaise and a Protein Drink for Breakfast, for lunch one Protein Shake, and for a snack a popsicle and a small thing of sugar free pudding, and for dinner I had 3 oz of tilapia with a homemade dill sauce and pureed cauliflower mixed with almond milk and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and a Protein drink for a snack. This morning I had a scrambled egg with a little bit of light mayonnaise and a protein drink. Everything that I ate went down very well and most importantly it stayed down, I'm very thankful that I'm doing so well, I go back to the doctor on Monday for a follow-up.

Unless you have an estimate or something in writing you're probably stuck with the bill. It's sad to say, but nowadays some people's word is not good enough, so always get it in writing. I hope and pray that it can be worked out for you. Sent from my SM-J727VPP using BariatricPal mobile app

I would go somewhere else. Sent from my SM-J727VPP using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes, my nutritionist said to count them, they are 11oz eachSent from my SM-J727VPP using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 10 days post-op and feeling great, I haven't taken any pain pills in these 10 days. I'm drinking 3 premier protein shakes per day, 1 cup of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup strained, two sugar-free popsicles, 1/3 cup sugar free pudding and water. On average I'm consuming about 83 ounces of liquid. The doctor and the nutritionist said I am doing exceptionally well, I feel very blessed!

It's a shame they didn't use helium gas, that way I would have weighed less when I got on the scales.
