That's what I noticed - people measuring their food. Hopefully my doctor goes more into detail next week when I meet him for my "pre op appointment". And LOL omg I can't imagine being full off an egg LOL

@Nana1222 hmm I'm gonna ask about that at my next appointment. I honestly thought all pouches were the same size.

I'm still in the hospital, nurses are all telling me it's normal and keep giving me different nausea medicines to help. I guess I just have to get out all the gas for it to stop. I just had the UGI test and no leaks.

Hi, its nice to meet you, welcome.

If I drank my whole bottle of protein water, that would give me 40g of protein. But my NUT last time I saw her told me to only try drinking half a bottle each day. She really wants me to try getting in most of my protein through food. I eat yogurt every morning for breakfast, but that’s it. I don't know what to eat with it. I'm going to ask my NUT for suggestions when I see her next week. I don't like the texture of cottage cheese. I usually eat 3 times a day (every 4 hours) but I think I can stretch that out to 4 for now.

Middus, I told them I had surgery & when, but you are right I probably shouldn't of done it without asking my surgeon [emoji848]

Maybe you're eating too much? I was sleeved the week before you, but I'm not on food yet... protein shakes and clear liquids for another 9 days.

I'm sure there is an explanation. I have not changed anything. Still working out, walking, same diet. It has be Water weight or something. I am not getting discouraged. I'm at 14 weeks and very happy with my results so far.

The night before the by pass. Feeling good and very ready to start anew. Surgery at 0800 Friday morning, 1.5 hours left to drink Water. The liquid diet diet was much easier after day two. First two days were pretty rough for a fat guy. At my PreOp appointment I had many more questions then the initial visit. No catheter was welcomed news. I will try to post tomorrow evening about post op feeling.

Clinically, HFLC diets are used for non-WLS gastrectomy patients who need to avoid weight loss and ultimately regain unwanted loss and indeed, this does present one of the challenges for WLS patients who adopt this approach. During the early weight loss months (when we are relatively insensitive to diet due to the enforced restriction courtesy of our WLS,) many will proudly proclaim that they "do full fat everything". This works fine when we are largely consuming "condiment" amounts of fats early on, but often bites people when they carry that practice into maintenance and allow the higher calories to get away from them. It can be done for whatever reason you may want to do it, but you do need to be watchful of your overall consumption to avoid regain. Philosophically, in the absence of a specific medical condition that warrants it, I'm not a big fan of diets that are "low" or "high" of anything as that implies deficiency or excess. One might do a short term very high or low diet to counter an existing imbalance (such as treating insulin resistance with a very low carb diet,) and then moderating that extreme to a more balanced state as the body's chemistry corrects itself for the long term.
