Yay Debbydo!!! I am SO glad you are doing this for May. I can promise you that May folks will absolutely CRAWL out of the woodworks like ants from a woodshed. April started with me and TrshS, and now look at it! Folks from May will not automatically come here (well, maybe for you but they didn't for me in April) so you have to hunt them down and post them anyway. When you see a surgery date mentioned in another thread, tell them they are on this list and put them down. I recommend One post (like your #1) where all the names go. It's alot of fun, actually, and very therapeutic to see people go and come back banded. Also, if I could go back and change April's I would add their Dr to the list too (like you did on your name) I thinks it's helpful for researchers. Good job! Keep bumping it to the top once or twice a week or so.

Happy May Banding everyone!

Yes Girls, by all means get your Magic Bullets ordered or bought. It has truly been a blessing for me. I blended all my Soups that had bits of veggies in them. Also, it make a great egg salad. Tonite I am going to try tuna salad in it. At any rate I wish all of you luck!!!

Hey bubblesstina..A big New Yorker How you doin? .......Am I nervous....humm lets see...as I sit here filling out my living will and health care proxy...am I nervous? HELL YEA! I just wanna be on the other side of this sooo bad! I cant wait. I am very confident in my surgeon.....I know I will be all right. I just wanna cover my basis just in case.. This next week is gonna go by rather quickly for me. I work in a high school and we are off on Monday...The week will fly by. Then theres the preop testing and BAM!! the surgery date! CAN'T WAIT! My approval went thru quick too. My insurance actually called my surgeons office and gave them a verbal approval within two days! Then they sent letters to follow up....really awesome GHI ROCKS! (so far...we will see what kind of bills I get afterward) I went out shopping and got myself some comfy pj's for after the surgery....Im thinking about wearing them TO the hospital....so if I haveto be in them it wont bother me... I am gonna stock up on my liquids for the afterwards...My husband will be home to take care of our son (and hopefully me :) )sooo its just getting there...which we will!!! What else can we do in the meantime? Count days!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU MAY-DAY SISTA! Had to put that hyphen in there, sounded too much like a call for help without it MAYDAY MAYDAY! EHEHEHEHEHE my silly side is coming out...GOTTA GO! TALK TO YOU LATER!

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
