Looking for a Vegas buddy



Recommended Posts

No I haven't tried those, I'm going out tomorrow so I'll look for them. Yeah I can't get 3 oz of anything without feeling uncomfortable. I've been pretty good with chewing a lot and taking small bites but I forget not to eat too fast sometimes. The worst for me is waiting 30 mins before and after eating!

It took me a while to be able to get all my Protein in when I started adding real food into the mix. Just don't over do it and try to eat too much at one time to get your protein in.

Are you on all whole foods now? I am just starting the transition from pureed into foods, slowly. I have one out two meals that are whole, then one that is pureed, plus I still have to supplement with shakes it hot chocolate to get in the 90 grams my doctor wants. Do u have suggestions of foods you have used to transition or ones that worked well?

I am 10 months out. For puréed I did a lot chicken salad/canned chicken, egg salad, and cheeses. Chili is also a good option. I think I did taco meat as well.

Let me know if you have anymore questions!!

I live on the southwest part of Vegas in the spring valley area. Yes I try putting some of that into some foods, I'm just a stickler for food textures! I need to stop being so picky I guess haha this process is definitely a lot harder then I imagined!!

I tried ground turkey taco meat tonight with some spices and salsa added, couldn't get 4 oz. down. I did manage to get 4 ounces down at lunch, barely, using refried Beans and a meatball.

Zone,

I am a texture girl too. Try making a slurry with some warm Water and the Protein isolate and add it to what ur eating. If what I am eating calls for water, I use what I am using for slurry in my total amount.

Vicki,

Taco meat works great! It's one of only a few things I can eat 4oz of at a time. I ate ceviche the other night with shrimp cut really small. It was delicious. I also found salmon salad at Trader Joe's that I am enjoying.

My gym day is Monday at 6pm I go with my sister. We won't to try body pump but the classes are always packed. But today the Zumba class was pretty empty. Saturday is are new Zumba day. LVA has a good special $5 to join and $23 monthly I paid for two years and it comes out to $17 month. They have different plans and it is worth the money with all the classes included.

Piggy Piggy,

Unfortunately, I don't work full-time so money is an issue. I am looking at the multi-generational center.

Mich-welcome!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
