Recommended Posts

I been Away for a while. My Family took a birthday break at duke university. My upper GI came back great. Now I have to take 3 meds 1- Prisolec 2-carafAte and 3- new drug Bp meds for muscle spasm. I'm kinds sick on not beig able to drink Water. My calories are still under 250 but I've gained a pound. I'm really starting To not like the progress I am at. I seriously popped 15 times in 1 day while on vacation to see my niece at Duke. Now, I'm freelancing from home for jobs, but most days I'm too sick to get out of the bed. I'm really ready to start exercising and moving to the next step with the bypass. Soooo frustrated. !!!! I really need a schedule to get the Protein in, does anyone has one? Excuse iPhone typo.

Girl, Sorry you are having problems. I start my morning off with a Protein Shake that way its 32 grams of Protein right off the bat. Around 2 hours later I eat a baby bel light 6 grams. 2 hours after that a yoplait greek yogurt 12 grams... then just eat every 2 hours some sort of protein. The wetter the better. Hang in there.

kiwilady...I'm glad your test came back fine and you're on the meds you need. At this point it sounds like you just need to really try. I know I didn't want to drink or eat at all and I had to make myself do it. I found the right temperature of Water to drink that was right for my pouch. It wasn't easy and I had lots of cramping at first but, now it's good. Once you get hydrated again it gets easier. Eating...well that's one step at a time. I found adding some carbs back into my diet actually made me feel better. I try to make sure they are complex carbs from whole wheat vs white flour carbs and only enough to satisfy. I eat my Protein first then have the carby item. Such as meat...then a small piece of potato, or a poached egg and 1 slice of low cal whole wheat toast. How far out are you from the surgery? Have you been able to get together with your nutritionist for some ideas on what to do? Hope you feel better soon!

I am a week away from 4 months. I'm hoping new meds will get rid of spasm so I can increase Water intake. Yes I spoke with Nut on a few ideas, but I just do not feel hungry most of the time. I had my first chance to eat pizza an I ate 1/8 of a slice and couldn't eat anything else. I am able to do 1 shake a day ✨- 17 grams. In stuck at the weight of 220 and about 250 calories a day. When I do ear, especially meat, I find myself spitting most of it back out. I do like a medium filet now, but can only eat a 1/4 or 1/2.

I really feel bad for you. I'm almost 4 months & I can eat normal just not bunch of food. I can eat a cup of food. Depending if it's meat it's less softer food like mash potato I can consume more but solid less. I hope your intake increase so you can lose more weight.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
