Lol one thing I forgot I'm 20 lbs down since my surgery. Yay!!!

Hello my original date was July 28 but because I had sore throat was love to august 6 I wake up better today but las night was terrible le with the gases on my chest and left shoulder...

10 days post op and feeling great. Have been exploring recipes to hel make sure my mind and body felt satiated. I made a HUGE supply of high protein infused beef broth. Recently, I Made a soupy version of instant mashed potatoes and paired that with a protein powder "country gravy".

Have lost 25 pounds since Tuesday, July 28. The journey is much more fun and exciting than I dreamed it would be!

Cheers to everyone!!!

I have been stalled for a week. Part of it is fluid retention and some is constipation. I am getting frustrated. I kicked up my workout hoping to see some results

About how many calories are you eating a day, I'm thinking my calorie intake is too low

I'm eating 500-600 - I was sleeved the 29th. How many are you eating? When I follow up w my NUT Wednesday - I'll get a specific plan- then share it w u.

Thanks I appreciate it , I've only been getting in around 400

I will be a month post-op on Tuesday, down 43 lbs. My tastes have changed quite a bit, basically limited to three or four things like don't gross me out or cause me pressure/pain. I'm having trouble getting above 500 calories per day because of it. Ugh, can't wait for my sleeve to heal more so I can tolerate meat!

My typical day:

1 protein shake (160 cal, 30 protein)

4oz cottage cheese (90 cal, 10 protein)

4 oz refried beans purée (100 cal, 5 protein) sometimes w sprinkle of cheese

4 oz of Greek yogurt (110 cal, 15 G protein)

1/2 protein shake (80 cal, 15 protein)

That's 540 calories, 75 protein. I need to add fruit and veg soon. Meet w NUT Wednesday.

What are you guys eating?

I haven't as focused on calories as I have been following the meal plan suggestion in my bariatric binder. Eating the right foods in the right portions has been the winner for me. Also, if I make anything that needs to be puréed, I ALWAYS add my protein broth. I find the more protein intake in, as well as the constant sipping of water also helps. I don't drink any crystal light type drinks. I HATE artificial sweeteners, and by not drinking those drinks, I feel like I'm keeping those chemicals out of my body and that is keeping my system clean.

Just ordered some new protein powder from Quest Nutrition. One of them is a multi-purpose powder for baking, etc. they have GREAT recipes that will will be able to integrate very soon. They act as a reminder that there is still GREAT food out there for us to eat! (Especially for this of us that love to cook!)
