Veritas34

Just came back from my surgeon follow up. He said it’s just muscles. I need to build up more . Again thank you all for the responses

Thank you all for the great responses!!

I am about 9 months post op. I have lost close to 200 lbs. I took a very long break from work and have taken a job with much physical labor. I am beyond sore and care barely walk after about 10 hours of my shift . So bad that I walk like I’m about 100 years old. I didn’t have this pain when I was bigger. It’s been over 2 months at this new job and my body doesn’t seem to be feeling better with this. Any tips? What is happening?

This is the worst still! I can not sit for longer than 20 minutes anywhere .

Thanks for the responses… to some of you… I don’t drink. It was a question just to hear the answer to when I asked it and was shocked that the answer was NEVER and I was just trying to figure out the true why….. Thanks for the supportive and factual answers to my concern. I will loose zero sleep not being able to have a drink…..

I went to my nutritionist today for my 4 month visit. Down 135 lbs since I started my journey in April. (Surgery in June).... I asked the question as my birthday is this weekend and I thought maybe I could go out and have A drink... I am not a drink. I never have been.. But I was told by nutritionist that there's no way at all I should be having any alcohol... EVER... I was kind of shocked to be honest.. Again I dont drink but I didn't think one drink would be so off limits.... Not a big deal to me but shocked at the answer today...

Lol Thanks for all the answers... It does suck... I just ordered a cushion hope that helps for my desk chair...

Yes this app is a lifesaver for me … I know timers work but this app makes you check off you took the medication as well. Love it!

As funny as it sounds it really sucks that I have lost my butt! It hurts bad! Sitting down for some time hurts. Getting up after sitting for a bit hurts… any tips? Anyone have a cushion that helps them with this? Will it get less painful when I loose more weight up top? Literally my only complaint of this process…

Same issues here... Lost weight and now its insane!

Great! I am asking about a specific company named "Oats Overnight". But thank you for your response.

Protein Booster? Can you give me an example ? Thanks!

They all have sugar

Has anyone tried or use daily Oats Overnight? It looks interesting but does have some sugars and carb.. Good with Protein though.

I used to love premier protein before surgery.... Not I hate it. too sweet for me.... I have the Atkins Chai or Atkins Coffee. Not the most amount of protein but it tastes good to me .

Anyone heard of It's Skinny Pasta or rice? I had some tonight and it was great! Less than 5 calories a serving!!! No Carbs or Sugar! Im almost 2 months post op and I thought this would be okay.. Anyone have it before? How is it for us?

never tried okra or squash before.... Just looking for some new ideas as the plan I have been given seemed very basic... Thanks for the ideas!

Im 2 months post op and have had no issues with any foods ive tried but I am getting really bored with what im having as it seems to be the same rotation..... I need some good ideas. Ive been living on: Oikos triple Zero Wendys Chili Protein Shakes Rolled lunch meat (Diet Lunch meat haha) Ricotta Bake Soups Refried Beans and cheese Tuna/Chicken Sugar Free Pudding I know this has been posted a million times but I find it easier to post.. Sorry...

YES! Tomato soup is my go to right now as well. Which kind are you having? I actually enjoy the Bariatric Pal brand.

I had this same issue... I would drink my drinks to where the label started and I couldn't have more. I never went to hospital for IV but I did almost pass out at doctors office... I found it easier for me to have a fountain drink from WAWA with ice cold Powerade ZERO.... I can drink a 32 oz cup from there before the ice melts.

Yesterday was 29 days since my surgery and the first time I did something more than just going to the store. I went to a baseball game with my kids... WOW I was not ready for that. I felt terrible the entire time. Tired, sore, almost felt like I was going to pass out at times. I defiantly over did it. But I didn't want to deprive my kids of going to do something... Should I feel so bad a month after surgery? Im nervous now to do anything else like this... Any good ideas of what I could have eaten there to maybe get my energy up ? Everything I seen was fried and I couldn't bring anything into the stadium. I hope It gets better because I can't feel this way every time I do something....

I lost 34 lbs in the first 2 weeks after surgery now I haven't lost anything week 2-4.... My day consists of about 500-600 calories.

I unfortunately have the same issue... After 1 week I started to break out on my face a bit. Im not almost a month and I still have a few pimples on my face left...

This is the exact page from my book that I was told to take…. Sorry I didn’t add amounts from original post
