    kaleeshab got a reaction from katterbees in Do you have a Treat, what is it, and how often.   
    I’ve known several people who have had this surgery. Some people are diet commanders and some who slack every now and again. The diet commanders that I know have gained massive weight back. This procedure is not to scare you away from food. Its to help you make better choices. I have a close family member who has maintained for years who has a snack every day but stays strict on everything else. I don’t think one Reese’s will harm you if you’re doing everything correctly. Some bad foods your body just won’t ever agree with again. I can’t tolerate hamburger meat. It’s the only thing that makes me vomit. I use to listen to people on here about carbs and limiting them when my nutritionist told me to not worry about carbs. Guess what? I stalled! I started consuming carbs and the weight began to drop so fast. So now I try to have a few crackers with my tuna or a low carb wrap. Just make better choices! Try searching for a healthier version of Reese’s.

    Don’t take what everyone is saying to heart. Everyone is different and everyone dosnt have the restraint to eat one piece of anything. I know before hand I would eat an entire bag of chips. Now I buy healthier options and only eat the recommended amount. I know I want to lose weight and to think I won’t have a chip ever again is ridiculous. My nutritionist said moderation and every now and again. I don’t feel deprived and I’m still loosing weight. Keep your head up and good luck. I know if I find another product that I’m iffy about I just message my nutritionist and ask her opinion.

    I had some points to use at express. I use to just buy accessories and never even think about trying on the clothes. This week I went in and tried on a xl and it was too big. I tried the large and it was perfect. It gave me so much confidence to finally be able to shop in there because I love their clothes. Since then I’ve lost another 7 pounds. Thank god the shirt was only cost me $2!

    I never met my liquid goal one month out.

    I did however meet my protein goal and took all of my supplements. I actually noticed that my hair (everywhere) grew faster.

    kaleeshab got a reaction from lisadf in Favorite restaurant meals post WLS?   
    I usually indulge in a soup while people are eating appetizers and bread and give myself time to digest some. It’s hard when food keeps coming. Then when my food comes I only take a bite if someone is looking because I’ve been pushing my food around. I notice I make more eye contact and talk more since I’m not stuffing my face. I usually have enough to take home for about 3–5 more meals. I order a lean meat and veggie.

    kaleeshab got a reaction from GreenTealael in Pasta and weight stall!!!! :o   
    Once you can start eating veggies try spiraled veggies instead of pasta. Make them very soft so you can tolerate them. You will stall eventually but 16 pounds is a lot in a week. Keep up the great work! If you’ve any questions its best to speak to your nutritionist.

    I was having the same issue. I was almost three weeks out and lost 10 but gained 2 back. It puzzled me because I wasn’t hardly eating. Well, after I talked to my nutritionist we agreed that I needed to eat and drink more. Literally two days later I dropped 8 pounds. Maybe you should speak with your nutritionist.

    kaleeshab got a reaction from ChellNC in August surgery ppl   
    I met with my nutritionist as well and she wasn’t as upset as I was about the 8 pounds. She said that’s 10% of my goal weight which is 184. It just gets annoying when I see others losing so much! It makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong and makes me want to revert back to liquid only. This definitely messes with your mind. I wish they required more mental health appointments.

    I was in terrible pain for about 5 days and then it became less and less. At 8 days post op I’m literally pain free and stopped taking my pain meds.

    I was sent home with
    Miralax
    Sennakot
    Lovenox
    Urisodiol
    Ondansetron
    Pantaprozole
    Oxycodine
    Multivitamin

    It’s so hard to keep track of all of this. ?

    Why not start with adressing this problem instead of turning to IF and "portion control"?
