Recommended Posts

Keep in mind I'm 15 weeks out tomorrow! Some days are great others are terrible, I want to eat my arm or my husbands, but then I eat something hearty like soft beef or a mini red potato dressed up and feel better, followed by fruit, Propel and Water... All serving sizes unless Soup are typically 2-4oz in either volume or weight.

What I ate today:
  • Two egg white bites
  • Apple slices with peabut butter and a date
  • Sushi Rice
  • 1 Peanut Butter cookie
  • Non-fat greek yogurt, made locally, with a sliced banana and mashed strawberry sauce & granola
What I ate yesterday:
  • 2 egg white bites - 13g carbs 13gr Protein 170cals
  • 3oz split pea Soup (was still full from egg white bites)
  • 1/2 pc pizza (no end crust)
  • 2oz yogurt with granola, half a small organic banana
  • 1 baby potato chopped and mixed with avocado hummus, seasoned rice vinegar and seasonings
What I ate two days ago:
  • Thai Cashew Slaw ( I LOVE IT)
  • cheese wedge and almonds
  • More Thai Cashew Slaw (no mayo)
  • Pot salad - 1 baby red potato cooked and chopped, with 1 egg, 1/2 of an avocado, cilantro, herbs, green onion other seasoning. Mashed avocado with herbs and other seasonings to make a dressing

Do you snack at all between meals, usually? I can't wait 4 hour between meals, I get dizzy. How do you do it, any smoothies, or otherwise between? Thanks!

I don't snack in the morning at all. I don't feel hungry and have to make myself eat Breakfast.

BUT

When the 4 hours ( sometimes 3.5 or 5hrs) is up I know my a hollow feeling I get in my throat.

Don't get me wrong I feel I could eat cause I want to. I haven't lost that yet or ever lol..

In the arvo it's harder. I eat my "snack" or small meal at around 2 pm and by 4 I'm feel I'm ready to go again. Not because I'm" hungry" but cause I just wanna eat!... I do have the occasional bit in between like cheese etc or a Protein drink but not a lot..

When I roll through the door at home I'm stil straight to the fridge .. but I don't eat it's a habit.

I'll make a cuppa tea. It seems to tie me over till grub time again.

A Protein Drink made with Water would be ok.

Maybe I'm too strict lol

I have a minimiser ring in as well so I'm not sure if that helps me.

I get dizzy but cause I need my meds adjusted.

It's all a learning game and a massive head game.

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
