Surgeons are not your best bet when it comes to nutrition. If one wants nutritional counseling - go to a dietician who's familiar with WLS patients.

Fully agree they are the cutters and once done with you, on to the next! A Nutritionist will stay with you for the long run. If you can not find one with WLS experience get a work out one, They also know how to shred weight and get you to you max health and shape

BULLY POOP

My doc said the same thing. My nutrioshist said No way you can get to a healthy weight by different diets. So i got on a work out Diet and started cross training. I shredded another 18 pounds in two months. Yes if you just stay on your current meal plan you will stall out, Change it and work out and you can lose again

Yes i eat it all the time = DO NOT GET THE LOADED BAKE POTATO AS A SIDE OR FRENCH FRIES

Very common - It should mellow a little - Mine still voices its opinion every so often like my x wife!

It will pass you tummy is pissed off and is acting in defense

I used mederma also worked great

Search this site, I have seen this posted a ton and big time losers and veterans have posted about it

Something to do with Hormone release and Head games

Ginger broth is a option! Also try a sea sick med like Bonnine - I only had a little issue and i fish a ton so i had it in my house, Worked for me

Glad I started a thread that cracked everyone up - This should get everyone a good laugh

I'm confused. Did you NOT receive any advice about portions and Stages to eat post surgery?

I am totally amazed at how many people - Including myself did not have a plan or guidance after this surgery! WTF is this industry going to get oraganized! We all know the surgery is just a tool, Without the workshop your screwed

No a penis one - Guess his body would not wake up from being knocked out - One little flush out and he was good to go!

The air thing is a pain some get tons of gas some get a little - I had a ton of gas and it was painful as hell

Yes switch up your calories and do some short term fasting - Remember this is a long journey and no two weeks will be the same

Go less calories on day and more the next It will help restart your body

Yes you body is healing this same post is all over this site, You wracked your body hard and now it is recovering. Let your body tell you when you can go to other foods. shakes do suck, But you need them. Make your own with Protein powders, The only one i like that is store bought is Core Fitness.

Feel free to join my WLS mix masters club! I can make a mean as Protein Shake and martini!

Great post above

YOU ARE NOT HUNGRY - YOU ARE FULL! Your mind is playing games with you. You do not have to eat till you are full, Eat healthy and portion it! Done

The hardest part of this journey is re learning how to eat healthy! and to put it clear It f@#ckin is a b***h to do! Not only do you have to condition your body your mind is going to fight you! Stop focusing on food. You eat for fuel not for any sort of satisfaction. Once you master this you are home free!

Is this normal?

How long until you cut the cheese after your surgery?

What can I do?

I'm seeing the surgeon in about 6 hours. Is there anything he can do for me?

Thank you all. Any advice is appreciated. PS. I've been doing knee to chest squats and raises, walking, and laying on my sides with knees raised.

It will come - But get out of bed and Put on your head phones and walk the halls! The more you move the faster you will get the gas out! I was skipping down the hall a few hours after surgery, within 10 hours i had most of the gas out! Now my brother had to get catheterized from the knock out gas, His lower unit stayed asleep!

Good luck and trust me Move your ass! and welcome to the journey

Just keep it simple 600-800 a day and move your ass and you will shred pounds!

Do not sell - Just be patient! Markets go up and down! Live simple and get thru this! We are all here for you and this is rough times. Let this go thru and then let the market rebound- It will take about 13 months!

Money does not buy your life! You can live and be happy by living simple and as for Job get one you love!

All of us here got your back - Life sucks but you gotta enjoy what you have left in it!

Well Its Game Time! Dang all you all are scaring me! Time to get back to being healthy! You did it before so put on your big girl panties and do it again!

So you had a little fun, Time to get it off again!

smoothie science is not easy Try core fitness these seem to be the best tasting I have found - But really get away from the store bought and make your own - Become a mix master of Protein Shakes - You got a long road and doing it yourself is much better and tastes better

t smelled so good at first and now I’m nauseous from smelling it in the kitchen. This really blows.

Actually I disagree. As a chef i have done the same thing you are doing many times. But i take this journey a different way, We all had food and way to much food we loved! We choose to get healthy and live! so i love trying to design and eat new foods that i never did before. However you are way to early in this journey to go that strong towards dairy. The shock and awe plan does not work, Been there - I tried making chicken parm about one month out and dang near killed me - sick for 4 hours! Slowly progress into new foods but go easy on the dairy and sauces.

Here is on thing about your time that worked. I made spring rolls with top shelf ingredients. Air Fried and Jap Soup. Never ate these pre op but the different tastes and flavors got me going on this search for new foods - Do it every week now. For example this week doing all Grilling foods. Veggies. Fish, wings, Pork. But all healthy and tummy friendly. Sure i will hit a bump a food that does not sit right, but sure is fun trying to eat different

Good luck and be patient - Take it slow and you will get it

NO NO NO-

None of you are hungry! You are addicted to food like everyone else on this site! You are bored and you head is playing games with you. You do not need to eat and consume non stop.

We all had to get thru this phase! You are in the head game stage and you are not hungry! You head is tricking you to think you are hungry. Your nerves and sensors were cut out. So how the heck are you getting hunger pains when you only have a 4 oz pouch. Tv marketing and packaging is everywhere. There are so much more things in life then a box of Cookies or chips. However all of us addicts are caught in the food industry nightmare@

Ok now that i attacked you ---- You guys got this ,,,,,,,Change focus from food to something else. Slowly you need to sip something to get your mind tricked to think your not hungry. This is a b***h to do! I crashed and crashed big time The post is here way back. I was saved but my key was a puppy! Yes a lab puppy. I started focusing on him and training him and walking him and getting my abusive behavior towards food and vodka Under control. I also have chosen to Fish a ton and Travel a ton.

You guys do the same - Mix up you life. The old life sucked you were out of control with food and unhealthy. Now its time to change. Look up Fluffy Chick here and she has great posts on changing you lifestyle. Find something new to add to your life, hobbies, craft, outdoors, Partners, Pets, movies, Like Nike JUST DO IT!

This is not going to be easy, but once you do it the best journey gets even better!

How to Vortex them

First things you have to get a Vortex

https://www.amazon.com/LUTANI-BBQ-Kettle-Grills-26-75/dp/B07BP7JFWK/ref=sr_1_4?crid=GUJUNI9LG6TT&keywords=vortex+grill+accessory&qid=1584617398&sprefix=Vortex+grill%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-4

Step one

We prefer only wings but get you chicken wings and legs. RInse off and put in bucket, Now the key to this is the brine. To brine use 1/3 cup of salt, 1/3 cup of red hot. Use chicken stock or base. I prefer the chicken base paste. Also on Amazon. Add Water to cover wings and refrigerate for 12 hours. I do this before i go to bed then they are ready the next day.

Step two

Remove wings and lightly rinse. Put in zip lock bag - Add wing sauce, butter and pepper and shake it all up. Store for 3 hours or more flipping bag every so often.

Step three.

Get your grill rocking with the vortex in the middle. The ones i did yesterday the vortex had the grill at 600 degrees Hot as Hell in there. I found it easier to remove the grate and arrange them around the outside off the grill. We wanted a little smoke flavor so i added a chunk of apple wood to the middle of the grate. Put grate back on grill. Close lid. You have to keep the lid closed the heat is going to roll around convection style with the vortex in the middle of the grill. Took about 30 minutes and I did rotate them at 15 min.

Skin was perfect, moist from the brine, and perfect taste.

On the side we did have a variety of hot sauces, Ranch and blue cheese - Not a wing in site 15 minutes later

Fiber to your shakes daily

60 plus rolls here - Only cuz i bought by the case long before Corona - Single dad with teen agers so just buy the box
