Thank you, Chad!

Good information and I need to really focus on staying on track. It worries me how easily I can eat now compared to barely able to eat. It is now up to me!

Putting this on my fridge too. I'm finding that having pre-portioned servings of good stuff keeps me from reaching for the bad stuff.

Not having good Stuff in the house is dangerous for me. I have been packing Snacks with me for work just in case I adverted some famous donuts, too. My coworker scarfed one down in 28 seconds flat.

Do the best you can. I remember back when i used to have donuts i used to eat an old fashion in 10 seconds. I would be satisfied only after 3 or 4. I had this inner carb beast that would surface and devour huge quanties after having 1 of something. I am super glad that this beast has been tamed after the surgery. He may still be there, but now I don't have the urge to have even 1 of anything sweet.

I also remember eating a whole box of donut holes between the store and home on commute home ( about 15 minutes). LI was baaaddd.... Thankfully, I am a new person now that no longer has these food issues.

Chad, my first 2 months post op I didn't leave the house without some healthy snacks in my possession. Or I would put Protein Powder in my shaker bottle so all I had to do was pull over and buy some Water. I just didn't know when those cravings were gonna hit me or how I'd react. Now it's much easier. If I get hungry and I'm out and about I can always pull over and buy a grilled chicken sandwich from anywhere. I eat the chicken and throw the bread away.

If I'm going out for any length of time, I always pack a bottle of Muscle Milk Lite in a cooler bag...along with a couple 20oz bottles of Water. On days when I have class, I pack lunch with me, because my class ends right at noon, and its a long drive home...I eat before heading home, to make sure I don't "crash" on the way (literally and figuratively!). Eating out is no problem...I order lean Protein, and some non-starchy veggies, and take home lots of left-overs! Thanks for the list, Chad...it includes all the guidelines I received from my surgeon! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
