Not sure how I have missed this thread. LoL. Surgery was 9-6

I feel like I have turned a corner this week. I have more energy and food just seems easier :)

I was sleeved 9/05... I have lost a total of 40.2 pounds this far... Pre-op and post-op ... I think my schedule is the most complicating thing. I'm up really late with work... I sleep til late morning and early afternoon. So Breakfast is at noon... dinner is at 9... I get in around 1100 calories, around 70 grams of Protein. I do eat carbs... Probably something to argue, but I eat only whole grained stuff... Particularly flat out wraps for lunches and such and KASHI products... Whole grains... Low sugar... Higher in protein and Fiber and I'm not eating a ton of it... But I honestly don't have any urges. I experiment with recipes a lot... Recently been making a pumpkin dip with my protein powder... And dipping apples. I feel like my relationship with food is fine, I don't feel like I'm missing out and I still see results. I'm a happy girl. I feel balanced. I eat every 2-3 hours... Drinking between eating, Water, diet v8, protein coffee drink, and Vitamin waters.

hey mandymay where have you been?

I've been here reading! I love hearing what everyone has to say and that we are all doin this together! it's certainly trial and error, ups and downs, but what's important is that we are making better lives for ourselves. I have been back to work, so I have been fairly busy but doin very well :)

NG what did you eat today that got you 107 grams of Protein? That's great that you did that, I average about 50 a day.

Today is 5 weeks for me and it finally happened, I guess I ate too fast and within a minute I threw up. I always eat too fast but never had that happen.

I haven't lost any weight in 3 weeks but did gain 7 pounds :( so I have only lost 13 pounds since surgery. It's crazy that I went from 3,000 calories a day to 600-800 and still can't lose weight.

I know I need to start walking but until I get a cortisone shot in my foot next month, it feels like the bone is ripping through my heel.

Eating too fast has been the bain of my existence. I have learned that I must first, take smaller bites, chew...of course....which is easier to do with a smaller bite. And do it slow. I get in more Protein that way. Slow really is the key.

I did NOT get enough Water in yesterday. Having a really hard time lately with that. But I eat slow, and it seems like I'm hungry so soon after. It takes me an nearly an hour to eat. I used a low-carb tortilla yesterday and put 6 turkey slices (lunch meat type) and two pieces of provolone...warmed it in the microwave then folded it over and cut into six wedges. Awesome protein at 18g..only 6 carbs, but it takes me forever to eat it. Because too fast is painful or I vomit. And then I have to wait to drink. And it's like while I'm waiting to drink, I get hungry again.

Irritated.

I have been at a stall for over a week. I had my husband hide the scale :) I told him to bring it out on Saturdays and then hide it again. I got up this morning and it was gone. It was kind of freeing... I think it will be better for me to see more of a loss once a week. I just had to jump on that thing every day!

I tried toast with Peanut Butter today. It was awesome!! First time I have had it in months!! The dog was happy as I couldn't eat it all and gave a bit to her! lol

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
