Gettingsexyback

I lost 42 pounds before surgery. I am now 8 weeks out from surgery, 12/23. The first 4 weeks I was on full liquids and at 450-600 calories. I was able to do some light cardio on a recumbent bike, but it was an effort. The last 4 weeks I have been on soft Proteins, 600-800 calories and have gradually intensified the cardio getting to 30 min a day for 5 days. I have managed to keep losing, 48 lbs since surgery.

Next week I graduate to stage 5, adding fruits and vegetables and a calorie count of 800-1000 calories. After a short vacation I will begin some strength training and will watch calories closely. I feel like I may need to increase to 1200 calories at that point to make sure I can support the needs of muscle recovery.

I think that you have to make the call regarding calories and what your body is telling you. I have focused on consistent weight loss, staying within the guidelines given to me. I am also committed to no white starches: potatoes, rice, bread, etc for at least my first six months. So I haven't come across any slider foods yet because all I have eaten is liquid and soft Protein.

Unfortunately for me, sliders happen on occasion. I have to really watch it.

Red vines (addictive)

Tortilla chips

This was my belief also. But I have started eating some old foods that are sliders and have gained about 5 lbs back. I recently lost my cat, he got out and 9 days later we found him dead under a shed and since then I am so off track with eating. :( sliders is what I crave and I will stop this. As of today.

My biggest slider is Cheetos. And then of course I am addicted to sugar so candy has no boundaries either. Oh and the Quest bars are my crack. Can't seem to stop buying them. "Angry" at self!

I just don't allow myself to eat anything high cal or carbs, I think it's very important to keep yourself away from the bad food that could become your slider. My personal belief is I put my body threw major surgery and had a huge part removed, why do all that if I go back to my old ways. This is just how I believe. I understand not everyone thinks that way but it's working for me. Iv lost a total of 80 lbs 70 since sleeved oct 9 th, my way of thinking had paid off for me. So at 11 days post op plz don't be even wondering ab sliders bc it might be your down fall a few months out

I didn't ask about slider food because I want to know what "trick foods" are. I simply didn't know what the term "slider foods" were so I asked. Please don't assume or doubt my intentions.

I am 8 weeks out....I haven't found a slider food yet..and I REALLY hope I never do.

I have tried popcorn, chips and cake on my Bday..but they didn't go down easily. I haven't pushed the envelope any more than that.

'Eaten easily and in quantity' does that mean you're able to eat a large amount or very little? This is my first time hearing/seeing anything about slider foods, just want to be clear on what it really means...

Here is the easiest way to explain sliders....If it is something that tastes good, ( or did) is processed, out of a bag, box or drive thru and you know it is bad for you- that is a slider. They go down easy, you can eat too much and they were never good for you to begin with. Everyone will eventually experiment with sliders. (or a large majority of folks) The key is to identify and try at all cost to avoid. Yes, it happens. Just don't allow to happen too often because it IS a slippery slope!

      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?

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?

      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! 😞
