June Post Ops!

[Weight Warrior 445]

I have to agree guys I do not get hungry when I do not watch TV!! If I watch its like torturing myself! Too much food on TV' date=' just like the violence in video games, they should rate all the food commercials that will be aired!! Give a brother a chance![/quote']

Amen too that! or at a very minimum give some basic nut info. lets face it corporate food distributors and manfacturers are trying to shove as much pre- processed gmo enhanced super sized buy one get one free food down americans throats that they can afford or digest. is any surprise that obesity is a major problem in the USA.

i have been eating on a 4-5 hour schedule and it dosnt take much to satify the beast that is our pouch. also i try and stay occupied as much as possible my TV time has gone from a major player in my routine (last year) to almost non- existant post surgery. it seems if you keep your brain occuppied or distracted as it were. it has no time to think about hunger. Good luck! its a tough nut to crack. im engaged in a mental battle between mind and pouch currently.

Before I was eating three meals a day. Averaging about 350 calories per day. After I started back at work my body felt so exhausted and worn down. I started making an extra snack and now my calories are around 450. I'm feeling much better. Anyone else eating 4 times a day? I work at 5:00am and go to bed at 9:00pm so I'm up for several hours during the day. Almost a month post op.

I find I normally need to eat 4 times to get enough Protein and calories in. Otherwise I'm exhausted. I'm about 5 weeks post op.

I'm 2.5 weeks and I'm eating about 4-5 times a day. I thought it was a lot but my doctor wants me eating 6 times a day... I feel like that's impossible.

Yeah my doctor said 5-6 small meals. A Protein Drink counts as a meal though. Doing it this way is the only way I am even close to getting all my Protein.

[sarjblack 29]

Whew!! My doc said no Protein Shakes and only meals 3 times a day. I can't do it. I feel like I'm staving to death. I started adding my 4th meal (snack) as 1/2 a Protein Shake.< /p>

I had to take my mom to the airport today and I ate my breakfast and the oatmeal was very filling… however by 11 I was starving! My 5 year old really wanted a taco and I had already told him he could get one so I did a quick research on KFC and I picked one of the boneless whitemeat pieces. it had a little more fat but one piece says it has 24 g of Protein. i cut tiny pieces and ate mostly around the crust and it was so good! lol glad it's not close enough to home to become a habit…

One thing I really miss is chugging a bottle of Water. I was usually instantly hydrated. Now I'm lucky if I can finish one before it gets warm. I usually take a big swig and swallow it down in a couple of gulps but its not the same. ????

You did what I'm starting to do when going out, I research the restaurant and meat if it's high protein and low sugar and fat, I'm eating it...Good for you for trying something new.

Yesterday and today have been pretty exciting. Had my esophagus dilated yesterday and was able to eat some Soup and keep fluids down. I cannot eat or drink much, but anything is better than ice chips only. Today I have had a few ounces of potatoe soup, a popcicle, and a little lemon Water. I know it's not much but I am happy with anything. Hopefully after just a few more dilations I'll be back to normal!
