Dont Judge/what Do I Eat?



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I have done all the classes and had the surgery. I begin solids on Monday and I am scared because I have no clue what to eat. I just got my 1st fill today. Everywhere I read says no bread, no Pasta, no this, no that....so what can I actually eat and enjoy! I hate eggs...just thought I would put that out there. I have been doing blueberry banana smoothies with a 1 scoop of Protein. I can normally drink an 18oz cup of that in about 40 mintues. Am I drinking too much? I feel so lost! I want to be successful at this so I welcome any comments!

I eat chicken, fish, ground beef, Beans of all kinds, veggies, I have a bit of a problem with thick meat but if it is a thin cut and I cut it up really small then I can eat most any meat. Yes I miss the bread Pasta and all that but it sure makes it easier to lose weight, not eating all that. My daughter in law is also banded and when she makes spaghetti for her family she puts her sauce over a baked potato. (yep I eat potatoes baked) I have had times where I ate bad stuff and usually ended up not being able to get more than one bite down then stuck. It is best to leave the baddies alone. Hope all this helps you some.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
