Wtf To Eat



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Oct. 30th. My starting weight 256.8' date=' Surgery day I weighed in at 247, as of Tuesday this week I weighed 228.2. I lost 8 pounds during pre-op diet a week before surgery, so all in all, I am down almost down 29lbs. I weight in on Saturday, tomorrow, so hopefully I've hit my 1st small goal of 30 lbs. :)

How about you?[/quote']

I was banded April 2011, weighed 267. Had the band removed sept 28 and got sleeved Oct 24 weighing in at 233. Nov 24 i weighed in @ 213. I went to visit my nurse yesterday and the scale says i gained one pound since last week. I'm not sure what's up. Was it the clothes, was it cause i haven't had a bm. That actually surprised and scared me since I'm eating the same.

I'm dealing with the "not having a bm". I actually called my doctor today about it... waiting for a response if I can take anything for it.

I drank chai tea straight, no sweetener and my not going troubles were resolved. It's a natural remedy- actually black tea of any sort is. Just watch the caffeine if your surgeon restricts it. (Mine was caffeine-free.)

I ate a baby dill pickle and drank some of the pickle juice. I'm sure it's an awful thing to confess that' date=' but I'm simply being honest. It took me a bit to eat the pickle but I enjoyed every last tiny nibble![/quote']

I do it too !!!!! Sometimes I just need that little pick me up a shot of Pickle Juice has to offer!

Pre-sleeve I never would have drank pickle juice!

Now it tastes like delicious Nector

I went to Buffalo Wild Wings and bought some of their sauces. Now I buy a rotisserie chicken and I make little 4oz meals with a teaspoon of whatever sauce tickles my fancy!!

Moist and delicious

My Dr said said it is normal not to go for days. When i first had my surgery, i didn't go for exactly two weeks two the day. If we are not really eating then nothing is going to come out.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
