Recommended Posts

An anyone else eat tons of watermelon ? I seem to be able to eat lots of it and it goes down easily ... Is this bad - can I gain weight from it ?

I haven't gotten that far yet, but I know the dietician said I could have melons or peeled fruit once I got to that stage, so don't think it is TOO bad.

I'm two years out and I can eat over a cup of watermelon, but not a lot more. It doesn't slide right down like popcorn and sweet baked items.

I've been eating watermelon for awhile now.... No problems so far. My doctor said it's okay because it helps keep me hydrated.... It's considered a full liquid , which I found kinda strange.

My doc said it was a full liquid. I eat it too...well I chew it up, drink the juice, and spit out the tiny bit of watermelon particle that's left. Goes down great and it REALLY helps get my liquid down. I'm only 12 days post-op.

What stage is watermelon in? Liquid or puréed? My doctor has his patients at each stage for a month at a time. I'm hoping it will be ok in the liquid stage if I put in my vitamix. I just got my approval for surgery, now waiting for the doctor's office to call with my date.

I eat watermelon every day. I have it cut up into 1 inch squares. I seem to crave it when I'm thirsty.

I have no problems with it. I'm 4 weeks out

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
