Oh guys, you make me blush! :blush:

I am thoroughly touched that you think the inner rantings/musings of my mind are worthy of your attention and subsequently bring you a form of entertainment. I just think I'm an overly verbose bombastic mad person. :blink:

I am, sincerely, humbled.

Tell you what. If things get a bit dull, one or all of you, nominate a global issue - could be entertainment, could be WLS, could be politics - could be anything. Give me a subject and I shall produce my own bilious vomitorium. Just for you.

I think, taking the lead from @ Mrs.RRN 's suggestion, it should be placed between the Rants and Raves section and the subject of 'Constipation' in the Post Operative Gastric Sleeve Forum. :blink:

I think us newbies should stick to our post op questions and sleeve discussions and the more advanced members should maybe stay with the posts of the people that have been here a long time and have already gotten close to their goal weight....... Us newbies (if you all can remember) have a million questions about what we are going through at each stage of the game and it's helpful to find someone you can relate to. We don't come here to have interesting reading. Get a good book if that is what you want. Us newbies are crying for support...... being Pedant is not helping anyone....

@Iambeautiful

Dude! Darling! I'm not belittling people who need information.

Please carefully read the caveat I wrote at the start of this thread.

Before i cry. And tear my hair out. And flagellate myself. And eat chocolate (which makes me sick, incidentally)

And as you posted your follow up, before I could post this... There is no need to be like that. Sincerely. Go back to the start, absorb the tempo and timbre of the thread (and find the correlation with how everyone on this thread responds to newbies) and you'll understand that you're so far off base, you might as well be in Mogadishu.

Don't bring this here. Its not welcome and its not warranted.

My rant today, I'm a newbie well not actually true as I'm sat in the airport waiting to be a newbie and I love these threads. I've read everything twice but who doesn't love a rant.

Remember another day and another hour you could feel the love, it was just on this particular day the thread bearer had a Protein meltdown and rather than make sour lemonade she made a... well not actually sure what this would be called but I like it lol.

Secondly parisshel I could batter u, fancy telling me that Ryan gosling has big ears, I'm too scared to look at the thumbnail president rev sent me. Though does the saying about big feet equate to big ears in which case I would hug u as you've given me a new happy thought as they put me under, well I know what my kids look.

The ABSOLUTE best of luck, darling. Hope your surgery is without incident and your recovery pain free.

We'll all be waiting for you on the losers bench.

You got this, honey! xxx

Her name is Anastasia and I have had her since she was about a week old. She was not being fed and in a crowded 20 gallon tank with about 20 other iguanas. She had a Calcium deficiency that caused her to be paralyzed for the first seven months of her life I syringe fed her Gerber baby food. She is 3 years old now and a spoiled ass lizard. She once was a nice little iglet but now has become a Diva. If she doesn't like something, she throws her food all over her cage. She has been a costly investment but never the less she is my baby with igatude and all.

LOL well I have handled her every day for three years. She is tame and is good most of the time until she has to go to the vets. Then the wild child in her comes out.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

      1. NickelChip

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
