Got these cook books today, I know they are for after surgery but thought I'd share for those of us who haven't had it yet to be prepared. I've gone through all the books and they have great recipes! Hundreds of recipes between the 2 books and they tell you step by step and how much of everything you need, they even already list the macros for you so you know the nutrition of everything as long as you follow the serving portion in the books you will know exactly what calories, Protein, fat, carbs, etc it has and in "eating well after weight loss surgery" every meal in that book can be made no matter what stage you are in after surgery, wether you are in purée or finally able to eat solid things each meal can be made and it teaches you how to make the modifications for each. Just thought I'd share for any of you interested :)

I love the first book. I have that one as well. I really need to try some of the recipes in that book. How does the other book look? I have so many sleeve books as well as cookbooks helped me before my surgery (10/21/16!)

They look amazing! like reading these recipes make me look forward to all this cause to be honest for the longest time i was literally upset thinking that nothing was every gonna be good again for me and that because ill only be able to eat a small amount that everything would be so plain but these all sound so flavorful and good! The book is over 300 pages so a whole ton of recipes!

Lol I still do it! It is a plus not being able to eat so much, let me tell you! Granted I never ate much to begin with, but now I eat WAY less! Just have to make sure that you make it worth while! I am only about 6 weeks out but can only eat about 1 egg and about half of a small Roma Tomato. I know some people are different. But just have to make sure you eat slow!

Watch your clock on your phone or something and time it out by at least 2 minutes. That's what I do. It will hurt physically if you don't. I learned that the hard way. I still do it for that matter depending on the food!

Lol I figured if I give myself at least 2 minutes between bites I should have it gone in the 20 minutes. If I start feeling sick I am either eating too fast or I wasn't ready for the food just yet. You will be able to tell when you're getting full. They will tell you in the hospital too, but early on you will get full faster because of the swelling, so when you start feeling full, get up and walk around first before you completely stop eating.

As far as "or more", it shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes, at that point it is considered grazing (coming from my surgeon and classes, I know everyone is different) so I would definitely check the time frames! :) I am no pro that's for sure! Lol

@@dominyks_mom I was told we have to eat away from distractions till we can tell how we are full that way we aren't distracted by the tv or computer, etc and that should help with no grazing

It helped me for the most part. Granted it is hard to do when you have a 5 year old lol and no dinning room lol. I was able to do it in the hospital. But I was only in there over night. So that really didn't help much. I have found that I do have to set alarms on my phone to remind me to eat though otherwise I don't eat.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
