This illustrates why your numbers are so much better than mine. My "after" plate would have no veggies left, just one or two pieces of fish.

Mine would have been licked clean of every speck. :D :(

@GreenTealael Did you have any nausea after eating the fish filet? I struggle so with high fat meals, and I'm so chicken to try to eat a piece of fried fish. I can do oven-fried or air fried...but that looks delish! What was your experience mam?

No nausea and Fish was fine, not super oily but I havent has an issue with oil. But I did only eat one...

High refined sugar/carbs on the other hand (maybe higher than 10g) may do me in.

But I didnt like the onion rings so I didn't eat those and they were by far more oily.

Hope that helps

Thanks hon! Yes, it did help!! I might screw my courage up to try a filet or even half of one! I do miss the occasional fried fish or shrimp or small piece of fried chicken or a chicken wing...etc. Once a year would probably do it for me. :) It's thankfully not one of my triggers (yeah, I'm talking to you pasta!) hahaha

Glad you don't get ill feeling from it! It totes sucks about the carbs and 10g/meal limit on it. But yeah, I get it. For me it depends on where I get those 10g from. From a salad or veg? I'm probably ok. 10g from carrot cake would send me to the morgue. You know? Or make me wish I could go there.

Remind me...do you have your gallbladder?

TY!!!

I’ve found that I can do sugars okay, but thankfully I hardly ever want them. Things like mayo or too much heavy cream give me stomach cramps for hours. I haven’t had anything fried so far PO, and quite honestly very thought of it gives me the jitters 
And so far my gall bladder is just fine

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
