Recommended Posts

Ok I don't understand I'm 6 weeks tomorrow and i can't eat hardly any of the stuff everyone's eating my food is yogurt tuna string cheese egg but only fried at first I eat fish Salmon& Flounder but the other night tried Talapia and got sick

7 days after my Rny I had an upper GI bleed, lost almost 2 units of blood, I had Chunky chicken noodle Soup pureed noodles removed. I pushed it to soon. I almost died in my sleep. DON'T PUSH IT! I don't mean to scare you. I then was psychologically affected by my near death experience and didn't go past Protein Shakes for 120 days and was @ 165lbs at 6'2" tall (440lbs b4 Rny) I almost died again ahhhhh! Be careful and take it slow.

I had surgery Dec 15 and am down to 179. I could not wait to eat fruit absolutely love it. I don't eat breads' date=' Pasta, potatoes, or other processed carbs. However last night my daughter was eating Doritos so I tried and had some. That was after 86g of Protein. I do have a shake before I work out and after. I work out everyday. I think it is inappropriate to judge someone because you don't know their daily menu or work out schedule. I believe after almost 4 months since surgery, w nothing but healthy food (proteins, veggies, fruit) for me, you have no place to be judgmental. Before last night, I didn't touch one processed carb. Many people on here might be the same way. So please step off that pedestal you placed yourself on and stop looking down your nose and making rude comments to those of us who are honest about what we ate. We are human, we aren't perfect and neither are you.

Sorry to have struck a nerve. You must have thought I was talking about you. I was not. My error in NOT sharing my comment privately to whom I was blogging with. Congrats sounds like you have food under control, keep up the good work:-)

We can't live others lives for them. But you know what, for many people it was judgmental people and abusiveness that may have caused us/them to eat the way we did before the surgery. Heck, it could have been medications, such as in my case. Many used food for comfort to try to heal those wounds. Why would you want to open wounds that are healing??? I think if something negative must be said, you can drop them a note and start a conversation. I would like to hear positive comments and hear the reality of what people eat. We are all at different stages and can eat different foods. So what if someone gives in after losing 70 pounds and has something they shouldn't. Maybe that was their treat to themselves. It is ok to treat ourselves occasionally. If you see a post day after day about a specific persons diet and are "worried" or whatever it is you feel, drop them a private note.

No you didn't point me out specifically but I will stand up for others. We need to be supportive of each other, not break people down.

I have over 200 posts of positive, uplifting and helpful comments. I made an error and admitted this for all to see.

You want to continue to chastise me. You have made your point. Let us move past this.

I made turkey tacos tonight. At first was a little weirded out using turkey as the meat but it was so good. Instead of sour cream I used Greek yogurt. Just had one taco and it was perfect.

We're all in here for ONE reason to support each other no ones perfect and we all make mistakes just some don't admit it so be nice don't gossip at least some of us are human and do things we aren't spost to and aren't afraid to say it and if you take a bit of that cake or eat a chip or a piece of chocolate that's going to happen as long as it just one bite or one time

I've used ground turkey for years. But I do have to say when I first thought about trying it, I wasn't to sure when buying it. But since then thats all I buy. My family loves it. Even those who come to dinner that don't know it's turkey burger have no complaints.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
