Hello I am 5 weeks post op with the sips surgery and looking for support and information. Would like to know what others are eating at this stage.

Hi. I had the SIPS on 12/3/13. I went from 268 to 110/115. I love the surgery. No complaints if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

I sent a message but I'm not sure if it posted. I eat SF slice of cheesecake with no crust and when I have a craving I will eat one/two SF Cookies. My suggestion is place yourself in therapy before and after surgery. This has helped me tremendously.

Sweetmel17...I am already seeking therapy now, that's a great reassurance that I'm on the right path. Your regimen is quite strict, but it makes sense. This might be TMI but do you get bright oil spills when you use the toilet? I get them every now and then and usually after eating something that has fat in it.

I get oil spills if i something extremely high in fat. I know if I don't get enough

Fat bc i will be constipated. I rather have oil spills instead of constipation. How far are you post op. I realize that when I go to the foods that I don't eat it is bc I am off emotionally. So I know to stay far away from the foods high in carbs. So far this has worked very well for me. Even when I am upset my first reaction was to stuff my face with foods high in carbs or sugar. Now I will walk or exercise when I am upset. I'm glad your seeking therapy bc it will help you with looking in the mirror . I am almost 2.5 yrs post op and I still don't recognize myself. Even at times I have to post pics on FB or look at the pics bc I have to remind myself from where I came from to now.

Yes. I agree with you. I am only 1 month and 2 weeks post-op. So a very newbie lol. My surgery weight was 294lbs and I am now 260lbs. I am an emotional eater and I know it. Which is why I'm seeking therapy. Cause I need to have healthy habits, and break old ones. I'm doing good diet wise but every now and then when I'm making food for my kids it gets hard. If you don't mind me asking ...what is like your daily diet like? Breakfast, lunch, dinner, Snacks etc...and how much are you eating? I'm still in puree stage and will move to soft foods next week. It's a challenge to get all my Protein shakes in and Water too. I'm eating at most 2 meals a day ( one food item each meal at 4-5oz). And then I just pick here and there off my kids plate which probably isn't good. But I'm learning.

Hi. I'm sorry for the delay in responding! I still have difficulty getting 90 grams of Protein in but I aim for 60. There are days Im good with getting protein in and there are days I hardly have any appetite. On the days I dont have a appetite I buy Quest protein chips. For breakfast I try to eat eggs , egg salad, lunch I try to have chili with no Beans or fresh roast beef roll ups. It depends on what I'm in the mood to eat. There are times I love hamburgers, steak then there are times I can care less. . I try to eat something high in protein every couple 3/4 hours.

I just wondered if I would be eating small for the rest of my life. Not that I'm complaining lol. I'm glad your doing well, it's such encouragement. ????

I'm only a month and 2 weeks but I feel like I should get results fast. Or I should look thinner. I know it won't happen over night, but I can't wait til the day I reach goal weight. <150lbs.>.
