December bypass buddies



Recommended Posts

Mine was Nov 30th so practically December! I'm doing pretty good as far as compliance however just spoke to my surgeon's dietician about Soda and using too much Splenda and have redoubled my efforts and doing things the right way. Also since my first day of bariatric soft starts Christmas Eve I inquired about puréed prime rib cuz I didn't know if it was a lean meat. It is not but since I'm craving it with horseradish sauce she told me to bring some canned chicken chunks that u make chicken salad sandwiches with and combine it with a small amount of Horseradish

Hallejillyah - I LOVE Chai! I will definitely try this! I can't wait! I am not a broth fan at all! And that is an awesome idea about the mason jars! I will have to make a run to our Dollar Tree tomorrow when I do my Trader Joe's run!

Tranquility - Let me know how that chicken and horseradish turns out! I love horseradish.. and red meat. LOL

@ that is a GREAT idea! I will definitely be at the dollor tree looking for those jars tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.

@@SassyMedic congratulations. I was discharged on Friday and I was surprised that I slept so well. But then on Saturday morning at about 330am I woke up to the most excruciating gas pain in my neck and shoulders and to me it was just as bad if not worse than the surgical pain. So just remember to walk almost as much as you sip liquids! I walked about 4-5 times a day and that still was not enough.

Oh and I'm still working on my liquid intake. I'm constantly trying to get it in but its a real struggle for me, but as long as I just keep sipping I should okay.

I can't wait to eat. Changed things up by adding Campbells Tomato juice today. That was different. It was tasty I guess.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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?
      Thanks

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
