Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Thanks. I'm gonna try and start tomorrow. Hopefully it will work as well for me as it did for the others. Of course alot of it has to do with will power and self control, of which I have trouble with both :smile1:

Great, please check in with your progress!! Once your 5 days are up, you just go back to following the sleever rules. I agree with the self control. I'm sure that will be something I'll battle for the rest of my life! ^_^

Omg I was peeing all day! I think this is going to work.

LOL Yup!! I'm actually looking forward to starting now, but I always need a timeline to follow. I'm never as successful just starting and doing it. I'll work it out the whole month of February. My plan is to do this on Feb 1-5 and get back to Sleever rules for the rest of the month. I'm hoping I can get my belly down enough by then. Whoot!!

What is liquid amino dressing and where do you get it?

I am guessing Braggs? You can buy it at a health food store.

And a vegetarian thread would be amazing!!!!

My hard drive crashed and I needed to replace all my apps... but I will start the veg thread later this week. Braggs aminos or sometimes health food stores have their own brand.. I just add 1/2 t of Brags and 1/2 t of flax oil- sometimes a few drops of sesame oil ... braggs is sort of like soy sauce... salty. Really. I use it because vegetarians don't always get enough of the right aminos. You could use vinegar if you prefer.

Since I don't like yogurt, cottage cheese or seafood (weird I know), it limits my choices so I have 2 questions. Seems like beef or pork are out. Correct? How about skim milk with or without Protein powder?

Oh yeah skim milk and/with Protein Powder is fine. Did I not mention Protein shakes? I'll have to fix that! I have Protein Shakes every morning after my workout.

@meggs, for me yes I avoid beef and pork for the 5 days. They tend to bulk me up and have a history of this. Especially pork as it is higher in sodium. When doing this plan along with flushing with lots of Water it will work against me.

@humpty... AWESOMENESS!! I'm sooo glad this has helped you. Once the 5 days are up, the trick is to go back on sleever rules. I've found that continuously changing up routine helps so much to avoid plateaus that last more than a few weeks at a time.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL! Feb. 1st is only a few days away. I'm starting to get pumped!!

      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
