Hi Deb! How are you? I'm doing okay...sort of slowed down on my weight loss. I need to start exercising, but have been working too many hours and taking an online class so am just sitting on my butt!

have been eating chicken and ground beef most the time. I don't seem to have any trouble with ground beef as I thought I might. We went to Mexican Restaurant and I ordered a taco with no lettuce. Dumped the filling out (ground beef and cheese) and added salsa. It was really good! I also had some of Arby's roast beef. It is sliced really thin and I did not have any trouble with that.

Just wanted to see how everyone is doing and get some ideas on what to eat this early out. I'm 12 days Post Op Today's menu: Protein Hot Cocoa Deviled Egg 1/4 Cottage cheese Premier Choc Protein Drink Deli Turkey Slices with Cream cheese rolled up SF Choc pudding Vitamen and Water!

Not sure. I have had a small piece of SF Hersey Bar and did fine as I just let it melt in my mouth. I'm trying to stay away from protein bars due to the carbs but have wondered about them too.

Suddenly Single... now what?
wannabethinn replied to dramagirl28's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am sorry to hear you are having a tough time. I truly believe things happen for a reason and one day soon you will see that another door has opened for you. I would encourage you to go thru with your plans as having this surgery has been one of the best decisions I have made for myself. I almost chickened out before surgery and am so glad that I did not. I am only 5 weeks out and already feel better about myself as I am feeling better and moving better. I was really scared to have the surgery, but it really was not difficult. My best to you as you begin your journey. -
Painful GAS pain!!
wannabethinn replied to christina420's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I didn't have problems with gas in the hospital until I laid my bed back to go to sleep that night and was overcome with horrible pain in my shoulders. Couldn't hardly push the button to call the nurse. I would recommend keeping your bed more upright as this really helped me. I repeat DO NOT PUT YOUR BED BACK!!! -
Lean cuisine 1/2 for lunch 1/2 at break
wannabethinn replied to Guitrman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What kind of Lean Cusine are you eating. I think I might try one. -
So good to hear from you. I'm glad you have picked yourself up and are feeling better. I have really missed you and have thought about calling you, but didn't want to bug you. I am doing well. Don't seem to be having much problems at all. I have an appointment with Dr. H in June (June 15 I think). Anyway, lets try to get together when I'm up your way. It would be great to see you again!

April Update from everyone
wannabethinn replied to Ready2BHealthier's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Glad you are feeling better Stacy. What brand of Cappacino protein drink do you get. I've been thinking I need to try something different. I am almost five weeks post op and am getting along well. Just need to work on getting in more water and walking more. I'm down almost 50 pounds (counting lbs lost on pre op diet). Can't believe I am actually losing weight. I Love My Sleeve! -
It's good you are working out so much. I keep telling myself I need to get with it. I am just starting to feel like I could get going on some exercise so need to kick it in gear.

Pork rinds... Good or bad snack????
wannabethinn replied to Sunny123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you think I can eat them at 5 weeks post op? -
Good Luck to you! I am just 5 weeks post op and love my sleeve. Did not have much pain after surgery, did not puke, can eat and drink fine and I'm down almost 50 pounds (including pre op diet). Love my Sleeve! I also was scared I would not wake up and actually told my surgeon I was not ready to die...not sure what he thought of that! You'll do fine and will be on the other side before you know it. Let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it.
-
Just stopping by to see how you are doing? I seem to be getting along well and am losing weight! Love my Sleeve!!

As for what I'm eating --- I'm still drinking my Protidiet Hot Cocoa in the AM - that is the only supplement I have been doing. I'm eating cottage cheese, greek yogurt with fruit, refried beans, hamb and shredded cheese (inside of taco minus the lettuce), rotissuire chicken with ranch dressing to dip (needs to be moist), I'm thinking about trying some watermelon. What about you?
-
I think you are doing great - you're down 28 pounds! That's awesome. I'm doing okay. Still need to get more exercise as I have a desk job and find at the end of the day I'm tired! I know I need to push myself and hope to get walking this next week. I'm tracking my food and sometimes am lacking in protein and water so that is another area I need to work on.
