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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
