So tired of eating the same thing daily! any help out there?
Strwberriekissesrbetter posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
So here I am almost 6 months post op and the last month has been good I haven't been sick once and I have been eating good but now I am sick of all food again and I don't care 2 eat! I am sick of chicken,pork,shrimp,eggs and cheese. I can not eat 2 much dairy because I am lactose intolerant and the lactaid can only help so much. I enjoy fruit and a few veggies that my stomach will tolerate but I know I need protein but my protein intake is becoming less again because I am sooooo tired of eating the same old same every day!! any advice or recipes would be very much appreciated! I am also learning 2 tolerate some more seasonings besides salt,garlic powder and onion powder, But I am not very daring when it comes to food as I was sick for te first 4 months after surgery!! -

Allergy Meds post op????
Strwberriekissesrbetter posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am almost 6 months post and for the most part been healthy up until this week when for some reason in 10 years my allergies kicked in. I have no Idea what OTC meds I can use for them! before I use to use claritin and alegra but now I am afraid of what to take because I have had such a sensitive sleeve! I have tried nose spray when I had a cold but that didnt work well when it dripped down my throat and gave me the dry heaves! does anyone know what us sleevers can and cant take for allergies? any input would be GREAT! I am soo miserable right now with these stinking allergies...THNX.. -

Today was kind of a bad day
Strwberriekissesrbetter replied to samantha209's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I felt like I was given an execution date when I was given my surgery date! I never realized until I had to do the 2 week liquid diet before surgery how addicted I was to food! My whole life revolved around food, everything I did, everywhere I went was always about food in some way! I had so many breakdowns before surgery I was a nervous wreck! But I can say I don't regret any of it now! especially since I am down 201lbs I still have 231lbs more to go, But I haven't been this size since junior high and I cant help but smile every time I look at myself in the mirror sometimes I feel giddy like I child! my life is about living now, about fun,friends and family not food and I love it! Good luck too you and I hope all goes well for you.. -
Hormonal mood swing normal after surgery??
Strwberriekissesrbetter posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am a little past 5 months post op and have been extremely hormonal! I am moody, whiny,depressed,anxious and so much more then words can explain! I have been getting hot flashes lately but yet I am always cold! I figure some of it is because I just began my vitamin regiment instead of right after surgery! also I haven't had my monthly friend since the day after surgery the 28th of Oct. and they said that is normal cause I am malnourished ( I am working on that) of course my primary didn't believe I wasn't prego till I did the blood work and my surgeon said it is common for this surgery to throw off your cycle for 6 months to a year. my question is is it normal 2 be extremely hormonal during this weight loss time? I feel like I am a spaz at times any input will help! Thanks.. -
Hormonal mood swing normal after surgery??
Strwberriekissesrbetter replied to Strwberriekissesrbetter's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am 31years old and I hope I am not starting the change! My obgyn doesn't think so she said it could be the viamin deficiency and now that I am eating better and starting my vitamins.. I hope this mood swing stuff ends soon, maybe since I hit a Plataeu that will help...thank you for your words... -
So I am Happy that when I weighed in 2day I hadnt gained any weight in 2 weeks in fact I had lost a pound and a half! hopefully thiis means I am getting over the plateu!!I am 378.1lbs...

I just cant get use to eating new food. Any advice
Strwberriekissesrbetter replied to Tammy K's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had my sleeve on Oct.27th 2010 and up until the last few weeks my foods were extremely limited! My stomach wouldn't take any veggies but broccoli and spinach, I became severely lactose intolerant and the only meat I could eat with out vomiting was pork loin baked and that was only 1-maybe 2oz a day for almost 2 months I lived on tangerines( the only thing my stomach would tolerate weird but true) and pork loin! I became malnutrition and vitamin deficient! the Surgeon upped my prilosec to 3 a day but I take on average 4-5 so I can eat! I avoid greasy and spicy but I am eating chicken, turkey lunch meat from the deli cut in shavings, egg beaters and even some dairy now! But I take it very slow when I eat and I listen to my body if within the first bite or 2 my stomach feels funny I quit eating whatever it is and try something different! I wish you luck and hope all goes great for you!! -
Feeling pretty good lately. I am getting more protein in my diet I am up to about 65grams a day and trying 2 get more and I have increased my calories to about 8-900 a day. I am a little worried about getting on the scale this week as it has been 2 weeks since I increased my calories and since I weighed last. I am a little scarred I have gained cause I hit a plateu last time I weighed. But whatever it is I will get it figured out and fixed sensibly...

day after post op psych appt. feeling hopeful..
Strwberriekissesrbetter posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
went to my psych appt. yesterday and he said I have anorexia which I find odd because I am still 381lbs! But he says with my strict eating and severe calorie counting and anxiety about weight gain accompanied by the occasional fasting to up my weight loss that these are all symptoms of anorexia! He says it is not all my fault or in my head and that he figures it began the first month after surgery when I was unable to keep an food down and lost almost 70lbs in one month. He believes my stomach has become accustomed to vomiting and the pain I feel in my stomach is real , so he is gonna get a nutritionist that specializes in anorexia to help me and get me some meds from my surgeon to help with my stomach so I can finally Begin taking my vitamins and take in he proper amount of protein a day! also he believes I have a fear of eating due to the severe vomiting I have had in the past which makes total sense to me.. I am happy that I made the decision to go to my appt. yesterday and I for once in 3 months feel hopeful on feeling better and having more energy along with being healthy and weight loss.. -
Been hitting the gym this week! Made it 3 days strong and feeling good. also did my first physical therapy for my knees and that went well.. Hoping everything will come together so I can live a long productive life...

Scarred about my 1st after surgery psych appt.
Strwberriekissesrbetter posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
so here I am four plus months post op and I am going to see a psychologist cause my surgeon thinks I have an eating disorder cause I am afraid of food. does anyone blame me? I didn't get to 565lbs having a good relationship with food! so in a simple sentence I don't trust myself with food! I keep me eating very simple I don't try things that may taste good cause I don't wanna know I can eat it! I have about 12 foods I eat and that's it and that's all I need. I know I need to up my protein cause I only get about 25-30grams a day and I need at least 70 grams cause my hair is beginning to let me know! as for my food I eat nothing but protein (pork ,chicken and beans). I know I have gotten really bad about calorie counting but like I said I will never trust myself with food! I told the nutritionist food is like when you have a bad relationship for years when it is over it is over, you want nothing to do with it she said that is a bad way to look at it and I said yeah right you weigh like 3lbs you have no Idea of what I have been through.. they say my attitude is negative I say it is not negative at life but toward them micro managing me and every time I see them they always make me feel terrible and unaccomplished. so back to the topic I am very nervous about this appt. because lately I have been trying to figure out why I got to be 565lbs and I though I knew why before surgery I thought I was just a gluten and over indulger but it turns out that may have been like 5% of it and I have no idea what the rest is. I know now when it comes to my eating I like the control factor of me being able to tell my body no and you can wait and having that control! I am so afraid of what they are gonna pull out of me and I am scarred of breaking down cause I wanna be strong not weak but this today is really gonna test me. sorry for venting but I am nervous, scarred and confused.... -

Food amounts by time
Strwberriekissesrbetter replied to Georgia's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am only 3 and a half months post op but I find it hard to eat anything till the evening around 6ish. I make myself eat a piece of fruit in the morning around 10am and maybe some cheese in the afternoon.. but in the evening I really have no problem. I can only eat small amounts so I eat dinner in 3 sessions so I can get at least 3oz of chicken or pork in plus a veggie. my surgeon doesnt see a problem with me breaking my meals up but also I am only eating 4-500 calories a day. if that. Wish I could help more....
