East Bay, CA buddies?



Recommended Posts

Today it became obviously evident that I need a buddy. Sleeved 12/18 and doing well with liquids. I'm having plenty of head hunger and with my family at brunch today was horrible. I just wanted to eat it all. Any buddies further out that can share their experience?

Hey East Bay! I'm near San Jose and was sleeved on the 16th. I find I am having a lot of head hunger too. It was really tough today with food all around me all day while I was sucking my sugar free Popsicles and having my Protein Shakes. I feel your pain!

How's it going? It's getting better for me, but really want to get to more solid foods. Having a big family dinner now and I brought my strainer and had Soup. The rice and BBQ was tempting but once I started eating, I was fine. So thankful this is getting better. Stacie.

Hi Stacie.It's weird how fast I get full. I have been eating soup a lot too and it is filling. I am a day away from being able to do puréed food so I went to the store and got hummus, cottage cheese, laughing cow cheese wedges and almonds that I plan on blending to make almond butter. Not sure what I will spread it on, maybe just have it from a spoon. I tried cottage cheese warmed with a little marinara tonight for dinner (a day early) and REALLY enjoyed the different texture! How far out are you from your next eating stage? Katie

I have until Wednesday and if feels weeks away. I can't wait. It's getting harder for me to just drink and fix soup. I want to chew something. No regrets, I weighed today and I'm down 276 the morning of surgery to 259 today. I also know this gets better. I can't wait to hear how tomorrow's eating goes for you. What you got sounds yummy! I did get full tonight and stopped eating before my bowl was done! Another small victory..…

wow! You are doing great! I started at 308! Then lost some on my pre-op liquid diet and the day of surgery I was 298 and today I was 281. My goal is to get to 180 so I have about 100 pounds to go...ugh! I have my first post op appt with my surgeon tomorrow and I have lots of questions like, when can I take a bath??? I am getting tired of showering all the time, I am a bath girl, I like my soaking time :) Food today was better, I mixed some hummus in with a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and it tasted wonderful! I'm always tired during the day so I am wondering if I am getting enough Protein. Do you drink Protein Shakes? If so, what kind? I drink sugar free muscle milk light and I am getting really tired of them. Wednesday is coming up fast for you and then you can change it up a little! You are doing a great job. This is one of the toughest things I have ever done!

Hey, Katie!

How's it going? I'm doing okay, but still really tired. I'm eating 3 meals and sticking with 1-2 ounces a meal. I get full very quickly. It's so weird. I'm going to start the gym on Monday, just walking now. What about you? How's the eating coming along? Are you on my fitness pal? If so, friend me. I'm stabuch.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
