LASTNIGHT DINNER VSG LIFE



Recommended Posts

@matchoutsideinside everyones dietician and surgeon is different... 3 hrs is perfectly ok and unlike most i have not had a weight stall...if you look up weight loss and body building you actually have to eat more to lose...please do not form your negative opinions...its not grazing and perfectly ok...

Eating every 3 hours and having a meal last 3 hours are two totally different things. Most of us eat every 2-3 hours. It just doesn't take 3 hours to finish a meal. The idea you should finish eating in 20 minutes is one of the few WLS standards.

Every disagreement isn't negative. This is the internet people are going to disagree.

Wls standard is not the same everywhere and by far standard!! Everyone is entitled to their opinion but when you says its wrong is not proper or correct... And its rude cause all we are trying to due is help someone...

Yes and I made the statement. Think about it?? How are you supposed to fit those 6-8 meals in? At least ask your Dr. This was my first post and was just trying to be helpful. No one seemed aware of it. So It wasn't aimed at you til someone else is taking the heat for my statement.

If it's taking you 3 hours to eat one meal and you can't eat and drink at the same time, when are you supposed to get your Water in?

I'm actually trying to help you. I'm not being rude. You are just taking it the wrong way.

If it takes you 3 hours to finish a meal, you are eating 9-12 hours a day. How are you getting your fluids in?

This makes no logical sense to people reading it.

@@JamieLogical I installed a Water app that reminds me every 30min to drink in 8 hrs I get in 40oz..

Sorry. My question wasn't directed it a you. It was directed at the person who said it takes them 3 hours to eat a meal. I was curious how anyone could get fluids in if they are eating for 3 hours at a time and not allowed to eat and drink at the same time.

Yes i exceed my fluids...im fine and doing great..dont worry about me unless i ask...we are trying to help mzstockton...your all losing perspective...

As for how i get fluids in and food (not that its anyones business)...i dont like the feeling in my stomach when i eat. I asked my nutrionist i can stay on liquid diet. She said that was fine and it may take me longer to adjust back to eating then most...but as long as i eat ONE physical meal a day to challenge my body then its ok....so i CHOOSE to eat 1 meal a day...the rest comes from liquid Protein...so i get my protein/liquids at once...so i over exceed my Protein and fluids in a day with out batting an eye...as for my one meal...thats the one that takes me 3 hrs..and since by the time i eat that i have already met everything else..i can take all the time i want...hope that helps you to know my business...

@@MzStockton didn't ask for help that I can see. She just posted a visual statement about not being able to finish all her food as presented to her which is something we can all relate to, if we eat in our Dr directed time slots.

This is a public forum, anyone can comment on anything you say. You can't pick and choose what people respond to.

What you are doing is not recommend or optimal. I would hate for some new person to read your posts and think this is normal. Lots of people lurk on these forums, posting and responding to other posters helps more people than just the people posting in the thread.

3 hour meals are not normal or advised for WLS patients.

NO ONE should take these posts serious...NO ONE here is qualified to give medical advice...i am not qualified to do just simply telling everyone what " I DO" your surgeon and nutritionist are your proper guides...

If no one should take these posts serious, why is your back in a hump?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
