Thanks! So basically, as Tea and silly do, you eat when you're hungry?

You've seen my pics of food here, I'm assuming? On your meals, do you eat less than I do? I can finish most of those meals. I would really like to get back to being satisfied by smaller quantities and I don't quite know how to accomplish that since I refuse to do only Protein Drinks for 2-3 days. LOL.

Sorta, I have a "light" time line that I follow during the week just because of work and all. But I do only eat when I need to.

Today:
Woke up at 0450
0515 coffee with a splash of fat free milk and a splash of sugar free sweetener/creamer - unknown, 50 calories maybe?

0800 1 Larabar - 200 calories
1030 1 bag of Kay's Protein Kruncheeze chips - 130 calories

That's it thus far, I'll try to remember to update as I go along.

Thanks so much!!

Yeah it sucks getting up so early. I usually get up between 4 and 5:30 to start the day. And I'm generally fine until 11:30 (14hour fast) with just black coffee--although, I miss my PP "creamer" in my coffee hellerbad. LOL.

Do you Protein bars/snack fill you up? And about when do you stop eating at night?

LOL. 20 Questions. Thanks for playing!

Oh and one more--are you animal, vegetable, or mineral?

bahahahahahaaha:lol:

The bars to fill me up and keep me going for quite a while. Some more than others.

Right now with the 8-6 fast I eat between 8am and 6pm. I have "cheated" a bit after 6, but I do my best to avoid it at all costs. Otherwise beforehand on a typical work day I would go to bed between 8-10, so I'd stop sometime before that.

Do you blend them together or what?

You gave me such a flashback with Jesus, Mary and Joseph. My grandmother always said that. :)

Hahaha! Sorry I missed this! I just stir everything except the blueberries and the WF Syrup together with a spoon. Then I add the frozen berries and drizzle the syrup over it. :) I'm hoping to post yesterdays pics of it. :)

IKR! My RD was so upset at our last meeting that I'm still between 500-750 calories per day. She wants me up around 1200. And I'm like, in what universe? I eat all of these meals and seriously don't even want to think about food between them--for the most part. Some days I have these munchie days where I only want munchie stuff and that's when I could literally graze all day. But like yesterday, I really only fixed lunch cuz I was trying to meet Protein goals.

So when I showed her pics of my plates and told her how concerned I was about how much I could eat at a meal, she relaxed and said I was doing fine. LOL. Weird. Huh?

I haven't done bars since I have a whey intolerance. But I'm about to receive a metric ton from Bariatric Pal, so we'll see.

But I do eat Kay's Crispy Parmesan Protein chips (super cheap on Amazon), and I find them very filling and satisfying. I've never eaten more than a half a bag at a time. I don't feel my restriction, but I feel full, if that makes sense.

Yesterday I managed to do IF. That is a bright spot, because I ate crap and didn't get Protein, fluids, or supplements in. All my eating was within a 6 hr window though!

No IF for me today. Had Breakfast (that's what I'm calling the chimichanga :blush:), that was especially early, since I was in another time zone. And I have dinner plans tonight, so that is going to be about a 15-16 hr window. I should be able to do protein, fluids and supplements though.

I'm still fasting, currently drinking tea w/ stevia and light cream (modified IF)

I may be getting lazy so I'm going to actually eat real meals later to prove I do... Stay tuned

This actually does happen. :)

I'm just now eating my first meal--PB&J "yogurt" with SF Hershey's chocolate Syrup. ROFLMAO! Yep yep, better living through chemistry. I have a salmon salad planned for lunch and I'm like, "Fork! I don't wanna go make it, I don't wanna eat it...maybe when I get hungry later, I'll just go grab a couple of ounces of leftover salmon and call it done." :)

Oh no, your meals are just so pretty ....

At least do better than I do :P (And this is fancy, I only used plates for the pics!)

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
