Recommended Posts

Ok now I'm just starting to eat food. Boy this phase is scary!

Todays menu, please tell me if I'm being terrible!

1 string cheese=7 pro

8ox protien drink with 1/2% milk

almost half of a turkey wrap

20 peanuts..ummmmm (maybe less)

5tsp of creamy onion Soup (Outback)

3 small bite pumpernickel bread with a dab of butter

less than 1/4 chicken cutlet

5 bites of sweet potato

1/4 diet low everything Ice Cream with a Tsp of DCool whip

I did not drink anything with the meals.

I think I only drank about 36oz of Water today.

So am I ok or am I screwing up already!

I don't know - I can't even figure out how much mush I'm supposed to eat!!! But it sounds like 1/2 of what I would have eaten pre-band. I think the ?'s to ask yourself are do you feel satisfied - do you feel full? I'm trying to get in touch with my brain (of course, this hasn't ever happened in 26 years!!!)

I'm not sure your Protein is where it needs to be (did you hit 60-80 grams?). BUT, I think you had a great day! Look at what you ate when you went to Outback. I know for myself (pre-banded) I would have eaten 5 times that at Outback. Doesn't it feel great to go out to eat and not blow the whole day? :):D:D

Make sure you're taking your Calcium supplement and Multivitamin. It's hard to get in the fruits and veggies...

Now that you are on solids, you may see s slight wieght gain but not to worry this is so normal...your body will ned a few days to adjust to the new food it is getting, once that happens you may see the scale going in the downward direction again, you have no fill which means no restriction, so be patient once you get your fills and the band works like it was meant to work things will change. This is not a race we have a lifgetime to lose this weight, enjoy your band :)

I started at 268/then pre-op scales I was 257 when I looked on Friday 244.

I hate the mental part of all of this! I mean in the real world I would have had a few pieces of bread a salad all the fixins on the sweet potato, instead of asking for the fixins on the side, and a blummin onion!

I was bulimic years ago and at times durning my ups and downs I had times that I was afriad of food. So now I'm starting to feel afrain again! Which I sure don't want to. I've just been hungry the past few days. Plus you hear things like people only losing a very small amount in a year. Do they eat so much more that what I ate yesterday?

Will I feel full when I'm restricted alot quicker?

Is this food fear just me?

Ok so far today I ate

protien shake 30gm P

Terriyaki chicken cutlet, I hate less that half the cutlet

a few bites of veggies

about 8 mini oreo Cookies..the devil made me do it....

protien shake 30 gm P

What I'm I gonna do on the cruise? Will I even be hungeyer then...

AHHH

Thanks so much for your encouraging words! and for all of your support!

      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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
