To count or not to count (calories)
lizonaplane replied to lizonaplane's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I know many people really like Baritastic, but I have more than 12 years of data on MFP and I am comfortable using it, so I don't want to change... I think I'm going to track calories this week to see if I can lose the 2 lbs I gained on my trip and then see from there. -

stalls typically last 1-3 weeks, but it's not unheard of for them to last longer. Just stick to your plan and your weight loss will eventually start up again. Stay off the scale if it's messing with your head too much. -
June surgeries? Tell me your preparations
FutureSylph replied to Songbyrd420's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I went overboard with prep spending. (I'm a bit of a control freak, and that was my way of dealing with pre-op jitters/fear of the unknown.) One of the best things I bought: a 16-month planner with squares big enough to write in surgical appointments, weeks since surgery, diet change days, etc. Two things I wish I'd decided against: portion cups in various sizes (I used a grand total of about 25, not 200 each of three sizes!) and a big stockpile of protein shakes which I now can't abide. -
I am a few weeks away from my 3 month anniversary and still struggle with an upset stomach when I eat. I also have the "foamies" and wondered if anyone has found anything that helps with that? I no longer take Tums or Pepto. Should I start with them again? I do take Prilosec daily though. Protein seems to upset my stomach the most. Question: How are you all doing with eating cooked vegetables with skins on them? Should I peel first? I haven't tried any yet and am worried about how my tummy will respond to peelings even though they are cooked. I love me some grilled succinic!

lizonaplane replied to lizonaplane's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Unfortunately, this wouldn't really work for me as I eat most of my meals out due to work travel. I'm always "guestimating" what I am eating, but usually that is not an issue if I make good choices. At home I do make recipes in MyFitnessPal and know exactly what I'm eating. But that's only 1-2 days a week most weeks. -

I just came back from a two-week overseas vacation. I decided not to track calories because I had no idea what was in food and I wanted to try different things, like a bite of this or that that my family was eating. I ate way too many sweets, but I also noticed that because I was not "tracking to eat" (usually I serve myself a portion then add it into the tracker and finish it), I was focusing on my hunger (that's not to say I wasn't eating too much, because I was. I ended up gaining about 2 lbs over the two weeks, which is a LOT less than before surgery, when I might gain 10 lbs on a two week overseas vacation. I found that I enjoyed focusing on my hunger cues, and I am thinking about not counting calories, but I have read so much about how tracking calories is the best predictor of success in weight loss and maintenance. I am wondering if I can focus on eating healthier foods and honoring my hunger, can I continue to lose weight and then maintain? What have other people found? -
I think my pee smells like protein too. I am about 9 weeks post op though. It is strange but is what it is.

June 2022 surgery buddies

Hi, all: my surgery date is a week from tomorrow. Today starts my last week at school. I will be out of there 3 days before the ‘official’ end of school. Today starts my 5 shakes a day and 2 snacks. I’m looking forward to the discipline of that. I am most compliant with fewer choices as opposed to more. Wishing everyone best wishes on their upcoming surgeries. Today I have a tele-visit at 4pm to go over pre-procedure actions. Tomorrow I am out of school for pre-anesthesia testing. Wishing you all a great day! ❤️ -
Thank you for your input! I am experimenting now and I’ll have a better indication of how things are going this week. It’s great that your body responds like that. You’ve found your formula!

😊 Yes, thank you…I started that a few days ago and will wait until the end of the week to weigh myself. I increased calories by 150 or so.

I'm struggling losing weight

Could be a stall. I lost 30 pounds in 2 weeks, then hit a stall that I am now on day 14 of. I gained a few pounds and then nothing. Not a single ounce lost. Nada. It's super frustrating, but it's normal and from what I'm seeing and reading, it's gonna eventually break. Just gotta keep working the plan and wait it out. -

I just read that consuming under 800 calories may contribute to a stall. I've been so busy tracking water and protein that I haven't been really monitoring calories but I'm sure I'm under. Anyone else been told this? -
Getting ready to have this surgery
ShoppGirl replied to Laurie Rohrer's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Do you have specific medical issues that necessitate you eat three “meals” a day because my nutritionist was fine with my having just a protein shake for breakfast. I would ask your nutritionist when you speak with them but if it was for medical reason I would ask the surgeon. -

LilaNicole20 replied to Laurie Rohrer's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have been averaging about 15lbs/month since surgery 12 weeks ago. Today for example, I restricted myself to only getting my protein bc I have been enjoying some various foods that I hadn’t been previously (small slice of veggie pizza, few French fries, bite of a sandwich, etc.). Yesterday I did a strong leg workout, too. Today I woke up and the scale was up .4 lbs and just said okay. Get to work. Have had 2 protein shakes and a packet of quest protein chips today. Met my goal. I’m not hungry - just drinking water, getting my vitamins / calcium - will maybe have a small salad or some fresh sweet peppers a little later. Fiber is always nice. This is mostly in response to you saying you skip meals. Just make sure you’re hitting your goals. This is a dreamy procedure when you stick to the plan! -
It only takes a couple of weeks to break sugar's hold (unlike nicotine!), so after two weeks of pre-op diet and the first 3 weeks post surgery I'd broken its hold. Right after surgery, my taste for sugar was gone and it still isn't really back 8 months on. Sweet things were suddenly horrid, it was like a switch had been flicked. This happens to quite a lot of us, so hopefully you'll get that add-on bonus too! The only sweet things I like now are fruit (apples, grapes and berries, mainly). Anything that contains processed sugar makes me feel sick if I have more than a small taste. Quite the change from someone who could make a batch of hokey pokey and then proceed to eat it over the course of a single day!

DaisyAndSunshine replied to Happy Stylist's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
3-4 weeks of stall. Majority of us have gone through it. When you're losing a huge amount of weight right after surgery (water weight) you're bound to stall for few weeks (as you regain water weight while lose fat/muscle simultaneously following weeks). Do watch the above shared video. Stalls will happen and you should be ready for it. Good Luck. -
I dont think my plan is that far out with beef and honestly at 3 weeks out I have tried ground beef and did not have any trouble with it. Now that being said it was probably a teaspoon and a half only. I dont want to rock the boat lol

Getting ready to have this surgery
Crisscat replied to Laurie Rohrer's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Most do really well and since its a tool some have better weight loss than others. My Dr told me it is not uncommon for some to lose 30 lbs in the first month post op but again depends on the person and the circumstances. I am 3 weeks post op and have only lost 14 lbs. I struggle or I should say my body does with letting loose of the excess weight. I am however losing inches everywhere. so thats a positive. -
I'm struggling losing weight
Crisscat replied to Happy Stylist's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have not lost anything in a full 3 weeks!! Im so aggravated beyond measure! I lost I think 22 lbs fast before surgery. after surgery (May 3rd) by day 9 I was down another 14 lbs. Nothing since not a single pound. In fact I go back and forth with gain a pound then lose the pound. It is very frustrating to say the least. My team tells me I hit an early plateau after 9 days.. because I lost 36 lbs quickly. But dang lol 3 weeks out and still nothing. Now all that being said I cannot exercise much because I am pending a knee replacement as far as walking goes. I used to tell myself it was because of that but the 22 lbs I lost pre surgery I did not exercise either. So unfortunately for me I have to suck it up and trust the process and hope for the best at this point. I am very discouraged tho to say the least. It wears on me pretty heavily. I do notice clothes fitting loose and my boobs have took a big hit to my husbands dismay lol. Thighs and hips also are seeing inches coming off but that darn scale doesnt move lol
