ANY APRIL SURGERIES?....



Recommended Posts

I haven't tried any fish yet, chicken has been good, oh I did eat 1 fish finger with some ketchup, and it was amazing, lol. Before I would have had 12 fish fingers. Today I had some of the roast beef off an Arby's sandwich, and that was really nice too. Just chewed very well. It's very thin moist and easy to eat.

When was your surgery? One fish finger is pretty good.

Ya know' date=' I agree, it is hard to calculate. My shake has 35 G Protein, so I still drink that for Breakfast and assume the small portions of protein for lunch and dinner are enough. Not the best answer, but that's what I do.[/quote']

I was sleeved April 8 prepared myself physically and mentally for this procedure used VST for support but mostly info.I've had my days of ups and downs but nothing drastic i just thank God i made it through the procedure and pray for good health for the remainder of my life. I'm okay with getting in whatever amount of food and liquids i get in because each day it gets better. I have a daily focus on no vomiting, i was told that its okay if you only get in small amounts in the first stage and in the beginning my saving grace with fluids has been mostly sf popsicles. I find myself looking for small things to eat that's high Protein tried smoked oysters yesterday rinsed and ate what i could as lunch and popped the rest in my mouth throughout day 11g protein.I've made the decision, no time for regret, if no complications I'm just continuing as planned.

Thank you' date=' now I am on day 7 and I have lost 36 pounds. I weighed 296 and now I am weighing in at 260!!![/quote']

That is great. Surprisingly I haven't weighed myself since being home. I actually lost about 60 lbs pre op so I guess I've just been ok knowing that. Also, I lost my "gas and fluid' weight before I left the hospital.

I take the nutrametrix vitamins u can order them online @ www.yourvitaminshere.com & I use the Isopure unflavored protein powder rarely I use the GNC wheybolic chocolate Protein Shake & I don't eat a lot either that's y I mix my unflavored protein with bout 2 tabkespoon cream of chicken its easier for me 2 get it down that way & 20 grams protein I also find that its easier for me 2 get more water in if I use a regular cup instead of the bottle my doc recommended

      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.
