I had my two week Post Op appointment this morning. I am right where I am supposed to be. I've lost 18 lbs since Pre-Op diet, wounds are healing nicely and I have advanced to pureed food! I put Amy's Organic Black Bean and Vegetable soup in a Magic Blender and had about 1/3 of it. Delicious after the liquid diet. My husband and I are leaving first thing in the morning to drive from CA to NY (a family cottage)...three days. We used to stop at fast food places but now it will be rest stops since I am bringing my own food...greek yogurt, cottage cheese, shakes and the leftover bean soup. Even my husband is bringing his own food. Since I have not told anyone about my surgery, it was my plan to have the surgery, get clearance to go to NY and by the time I return I will be on regular food (just smaller portions). It will be easier in those social situations back in CA. I am glad everyone is doing well.

May 2023 surgeries
SleeveMeAlone23 replied to WVJess2Less's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just checking in a week post-op VSG. I’m doing really well, meeting protein and water goals. I can take about 3 swallows of water at a time, which works out to about 3 oz. Then I gotta allow 10 min or so before I put anything else down the chute. At first I couldn’t even get 3 oz of my protein shakes down at a time, but now I’m getting half shakes down 4 times a day. I also had some Greek yogurt tonight. I absolutely hated Greek yogurt before surgery, but was so good and felt good in my stomach too. I also now like unsweetened tea and I used to be 100% sweet tea girl. It’s absolutely crazy how your body changes. Good luck to everyone with surgeries coming up this week. Thoughts and prayers are with you all. The pain doesn’t last forever, and things will get better quickly. Soon, we’ll all be looking back and celebrating our success and seeing these moments of struggle as just stumbling blocks on our journey! Oh, and 22 pounds down from start of pre-op as of this morning!! 🎉🎉 Much love to all! 💕 -
Lucky #7 are still going strong !!!

Janet, thanks for the suggestions. I need to get some deli meat, I think that will be agood idea. Anything 'creamy' (yogurt) seems to be giving me hell. AND I agree, it is the dehydration. This summer I drank at least 40 oz of water a day, now I am lucky if it is 8. So back to figuring out how to go about getting in the fluids. Linda, glad the surgery went well. Yep, babies are for young people. I don't know how some of these ladies have babies in their late 40's. I'll let you all know how the dr. appt goes, TTFN -
How do you get to 60g protein and stay under 800
Losebig replied to ElseeG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I shoot for 80 - 100G and routinely do it in under 500 calories. The key is protein dense foods. Here’s a typical menu for me (I’m pretty boring so I eat almost the same thing every day and like it): .5c egg whites with .5 oz mozzerella cheese (17g protein, 106 calories) 3.5 oz chicken (28g protein, 105 calories) 3.5 oz of chicken for dinner I will usually have 1 - 2 snacks of string cheese (7g protein, 50 calories) or cottage cheese (10g protein, 90 calories) or sigg yogurt (15g protein, 110 calories). Sometimes I just repeat a meal for a snack (chicken). Recently my favorite meal has been a little higher calorie, but tastes great: 3.5 oz 99% lean ground turkey w taco seasoning (25g p, 140c) .5 oz mexican cheese (4g, 50c)) .5 oz sour cream (.5g p, 30c) The key is all calories are protein calories. My plan doesn’t allow carbs until 6 or 12 months. This does seem to be helping me maintain muscle mass, which is the goal of this particular plan. -

Morning folks... I'm having a booger of a time sleeping right now. Don't even know why. Read a book for the first time in a really long time. Lost Symbols by Dan Brown. Bought it almost a year ago and just haven't had the time to sit down and read. Left the TV on for a little background noise, but thoughouly enjoyed an evening of reading. I am going to have to stay later at work tonight to start packing up my room for the summer. I hope to have it done in time to leave on Thursday as soon as we can. I need to be able to go home and build the dog gates for the kitchen. If I build the gates right, I'll be able to leave Simon out of his kennel while I'm gone. Then I need to start planting the...wait for it...8 FLATS of flowers (annuals and perenials) that I brought home for work. What was I thinking, oh yeah, I need one of 'these', two of 'those', ooh, it that a wheeping willow tree? I was going to leave all my flowers at the nursery so I didn't have to plant them right away, but with the weird weather, rain & no sun, the greenhouses were starting to show mold and blackspot. So it is healtheir for me to bring the plants home and baby them here. Janet it must be weird to garden all year round. But I bet is it fun to have roses blooming all the time. Do you have hybrid teas? I use to grow hybrid teas, but with school starting in the fall I didn't always get them 'tucked' into bed for the winter. Phyl, you are so kicking butt watching your food. See you did learn some good habits. I'm hoping to have the energy to cook dinner tonight. The last couple of nights I have had a bowl of my blueberries/kashi/yogurt and a strawberry smoothie for a snack. Well best get busy, you all have a great day.TTFN -

You know our girl - I am so glad she is back - she is such a great motivator !!! Haven't you heard from the Navy doc's??? Well it's over now - back to normal - you gotta get back on the band wagon with the rest of us ... Ok gang - she's lying :w00t: She was getting hooked on Sangria for a minute there a while back on FB she was talking about it - I do good when around other pple on food - it's when I am home that I am bad - it's the closet eater in me Karla I am going to kick your freaking butt.. I think you need your meds ck'd - You are keeping yourself in a funk - no life's not perfect and it never will be - so get a grip.. Quit dwelling on the bad things and focus on the good. You have lost weight - not too far from goal - You had your girls home for Xmas - You are heathly (not counting your prolaspe) - have a roof over your head and a job and food in the fridge. I sent you that 2010 motto thing - I thought it would fit you to a t - did you read it.. Today is a new day - get the junk out of the house - go for a walk - I am glad you got w/a friend yesterday - that's good - You need to get out and be around other pple - or go to a homeless shelter and help feed them As to going to the gym - that was an excuse - no more excuses - go for you - those pple there can't hurt you - the only way they can hurt you is by stopping you from going - which in turn stops you from getting healthy.. I was thinking about you last night and figured you were in a funk cuz you weren't posting.. I wish I could help but I can't till you want to help yourself.. Now pull up those freaking boot straps and move forward. Make a plan and stick to it.. Ok off the soap box.. Yesterday food = popcorn - blackeyed peas - collard greens - sf yogurt - cherries = 1200 calories for the day Exercise never did my Wii I napped instead I napped on the couch till about 11 got up and went to bed - and was up at 5:54 (dogs) Going to get dressed - hit the gym and the go to the movies w/Debbie to see "It's Complicated" I will do anything to get out of the house so I don't have to deal w/taking Xmas stuff down Candice I agree w/Phyl you need to enter that pic some where it's great... -

My nutritional plan has completely changed..here it goes: Meal #1: 1/2 cup of pineapple, 1/2 cup of 1% cottage cheese Meal #2: Protein shake..isopure (50 grams of protein!)..plain yogurt mixed in with some rasberries Meal #3: Salad: 4 oz (if im lucky) Grilled chicken, flaxseed oil, spinach, almonds, carrots, kidney beans, and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese on top for dressing (I usually split this for meal #4 and just add more chicken) Meal #4: See above Meal #5: Sauteed chicken (4 oz), in olive oil, green peppers and onions, garlic, made up for a chicken fajita...without the fajita..also add flaxseed oil when cooking Meal #6: Plain yogurt with some added strawberries and pure vanilla extract Of course all bets are off if my food gets stuck and takes hours to get through..but I do the best I can.

Not sure if you like oatmeal, but I recently saw a recipe for an smoothie that looked super thick. It was made with a ripe frozen banana (sliced), cooked oatmeal, yogurt, and almonds. I imagine the banana and oatmeal would work pretty well with the PB2. You could try starting with the frozen banana, cooked oatmeal (1/4-1/2 cup), PB2, protein powder, and a splash of milk and blend everything together. You can add more milk if needed, a little at the time, until you get the right consistency. If you don't like oatmeal, just adding the frozen banana and less milk will give it a thicker consistency. I use frozen fruit in most all of my smoothies and they are usually the consistency of a milkshake. You can even make banana ice cream by blending a ripe frozen banana and little to no milk....it is seriously like eating ice cream and the best part is that it is super healthy! -
Mornin' girls! Allie...you are soooo close to goal also. You and Long and almost neck in neck. How about a good ole' race? Just kidding. Everyone is different and wouldn't want anyone ending up disappointed. Crazy around here with hauling corn to town and getting equipment ready for spring. I have said this b/4 but think it really does happen. I think DH stand out by mailbox (we live on an extremely busy tar road) and waves people in and yells "She's cooking today and there's room at the table!". I have two homemade chicken pot pies in the oven, three loaves of yeast cheese bread, a strawberry, banana, fresh pineapple and yogurt salad made and a two warm Dutch apple pies sitting on the counter. Then I go to town and volunteer at the hospital till 6pm. But, busy makes me happy. Tomorrow I am heading to Fargo to look at my new tanning bed. This is something I promised myself I would buy when I got to goal. Got to goal in Oct, 2008 but just haven't gotten the task done. Need to have an electrician come in b/4 the bed is delivered to put in a new outlet for it. I'm EXCITED! I never overdo in a tanning bed but a couple of times a week makes me feel and look better. VZ...we are going up to our lake place on Sat to open up and stay over night. Can't wait. Gotta hit the shower b/4 the "herd" pulls in for lunch.
