Hey I Got Was Reading This And I Like It What Do You Guys Think?



Recommended Posts

Because their stomach capacities are reduced, bariatric patients must gain many nutrients from the foods they do eat. Eating adequate amounts of Protein is critical, as the body can't store it yet needs a constant supply to repair and replace worn or damaged tissues. Therefore, at least 60 grams of protein should be consumed each day to meet the body's requirements.
Lean sources of high-protein foods are recommended at the beginning of each meal. Such sources include lean poultry or fish, eggs or low-fat cheese.< br />High-protein recipes for bariatric patients focus on providing maximum protein in small portions. Therefore, many recipes will call for minute amounts of carbohydrate "fillers" such as crusts, rice, Pasta and breads. Common bariatric recipes include crustless quiches and pizzas, hearty Soups, seasoned grilled lean meat recipes, high-protein sauces or toppings, and items that contain only a little starch, which can fill the stomach rapidly.

      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.

      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! 😞
