I have to share this pic with you



Recommended Posts

In case some of you are wondering how much (some of) you will be able to eat after your surgery I wanted to share this picture with you :).

I am 6 weeks out and this was my lunch today...a small, narrow, thin piece of veggie gourmet pizza from Round Table, and I AM STUFFED TO THE BRIM. And I don't eat the hard crust edge. It's such a miracle for me because I could eat at least 4 regular pieces before the surgery. This tool is truly a miracle.

Thanks for sharing. I know this sounds wierd for someone who hasn't even gotten my date yet, but I look forward to the day when I'm full from eating that amount. Before the pre-op diet, it always felt like the bottonless pit! :rolleyes:

It's really a great thing to kind of see all the changes. . . I know that it's so weird for me to go out for Mexican food, and be content with 4-5 chips with salsa, and a few strips of fajita meat with Beans and rice rolled up in half of a tortilla with loads of guacamole ! ! ! I could eat an entire basket of chips with salsa and queso, plus 3-4 fajitas. . . with all the rice and beans, plus some more chips and salsa pre-op.

Regular crust...they asked if I wanted pan, I was like no way, for fear it may get stuck ouch! I put some regular size paper clips at the side of the plate to show just how small it actually was :)...I'm hoping to be able to eat a regular size pc. of pizza soon, I really think I need to eat more, especially for energy :(

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
