LB RECIPE GROUP



Recommended Posts

First jof all this not a support group. I started this because I like to look for recipes and I like to share. Whether you look every day or just when you need to find something. I have people ask for specific recipes and I am glad to look for them. Yesterday it was tuna recipes with no mayo. Another time someone was looking for pumpkin Protein Drinks. I encourage anyone who wants to share recipes, ideas or suggestions . I am not nor do I claim to be a nutritionist. the group is on face book and is supposed to be private but I encourage people who don't want other in their lives to know to just start a fb page just for your band. All you need is a different email address. If anyone would like to join please friend me at Hely lb. everyone is welcome and I promise no drama. Once a add you I then unfollow your posts. I have over 130 people so far so it's too much follow. All recipes are organized in documents under file at the top of the page. We are always looking for suggestions. Please feel free to message me on face book chat anytime.

thank you to everyone on here who has supported my journey. This is one way I can give back. Also once a member you can add others as well.

I would definitely like to be a part of this group. I had my surgery on Dec 3 2012 and down 30 lbs but I sometimes run out of ideas of what to make. I find myself eating the same things over and over again.

Especially because I can't eat bread or Pasta I am looking for new ideas! I will look you up on FB, thank you!

Hi Same,

I am a part of this group and the recipes are helpful. I am also only 11 weeks out and already getting bored of some foods. I am lucky though I can eat bread and Pasta. So far I am good with every food I eat.

I am down 55 pounds now.....so happy.

I made pumpkin Protein cupcakes last week for Snacks.

YUMMY. So yeah it is worth joining the group for recipes and also I email Helen for specific meals I am looking for!

;)

Quinoa is great. It is a grain that is gluten free and has Protein. There is also a quinoa Pasta I have not tried yet.

I would like to join, this is a great idea and I didn't think about a second Facebook page, I have not joined other LBT facebook pages because only 4 people know about my surgery and I would like to keep it that way :).

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
