Recommended Posts

So I'm 5 weeks out and I feel like I am eating more than I should? I eat almost every 2 hours I'm getting hungry so I will eat cheese or any snack. What are people eating and how much?

I'm 6 weeks out and have a Protein Shake for breakfast, string cheese about mid morning, for lunch usually 2 oz chicken and 1/4 C veggies, sometimes an afternoon snack, and dinner is about the same size as lunch. I do find myself hungry about every 3 hours, but eating something reasonable doesn't make me feel guilty.

Eating every three hours is ok, but things like cream of wheat and fruit won't stick with you that long so when you eat applesauce it's going to run right through you stomach. Same with sweet potatoes. Always start with Protein even at snack time then at meals have your veggies second.

Breakfast sounds good with the cottage cheese and a bit of fruit. For your Snacks make it count like a bit of chicken or even deli meat and cheese. Or try hummus for a snack also.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
