veggie woes



Recommended Posts

This is gonna sound ridiculous but I really miss veggies. I feel like there just isn't any room in my diet for plants. I eat a veggie burger for dinner just to feel like I am getting some plants in my diet. Anybody else feeling this way?

Trust me, it's not ridiculous! I have always been a huge veggie fan! I am with madam...I want a huge salad with all the fixings!! And it's sweet potato season! OMG I want one sooo bad...well technically I had one, but could only eat a tiny bit of it!! URGH.

I am 8 weeks tomorrow, and I too feel like I do not get enough veggies in, I focus on protien then after that I am full. I try to have a lil spinach, or green Beans with dinner, but I am so worried about Protein intake I make that first priority. I hope I will be able to eat more eventually.

How about chopped salad? It was easier to get my veggies in that way when I had my band!

The issue is that space in my tummy is valuable real estate now and it seems to be an all Protein neighborhood! I picked up some vegan Protein shakes today which ima try to sandwich my day with so I can at least fill one meal with veggies. I'm a vegetarian and the whey Protein, cheese, yogurt, eggs and tofu diet is starting to make me sick! I'm only 2.5 months out.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
