Well I did it, cheated my a** off today, 14 days post
Coookies replied to USMCwifeandTEACHER's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just want to point out quickly that not everyone has a post-op liquid diet... I was put on mushies as soon as i left the hospital and anything i want to eat after 4 weeks... of course i didn't follow that bit of doctor's advice and did liquids for 2 weeks, then mushies... but i just wanted to point that out! -
The Importance of feeding myself.
Coookies replied to apple-saucy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wowzers!! It sounds like you had a really tough day!! Packing Snacks sounds like a good idea!!! I've done the same thing, where my blood sugar gets so low i feel like i'm torn between passing out and ripping the nearest person's head off! LOL... you know its bad when you start to see bright spots floating around you.. I need to start carrying snacks too!! Usually i throw a small package of sliced ham into my purse before i head out the door, but with summer coming, that's probably not the wisest idea anymore.. I think i will get some of those tuna kits too and maybe a ziplock of almonds (my sister's trick...and why she is a size 2) -
6 weeks & 2 days post-op and still having trouble keeping down chicken.. what's up with that.. fish i can do, thin sliced ham, very soft cooked veggies... but chicken is my nemesis
it keeps coming back up!! -

I'm glad you are feeling so well post-op, but you should take it easy... you need to be eating small amounts of really soft foods right now so your stomach can heal properly.... take care!! I'm worried about you! -
Yay!! Congrats!!!

i've been craving veggies... i'm not used to eating so much meat/fish/chicken... so yesterday i had a nice bowl of steamed mixed veggies and then drank a protein shake before going to bed at 3 am... THAT WAS NICE!! and waking up with another pound and a half gone was really nice

Anyone else go through this????
Coookies replied to ldydrgnkpr's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My first stall was the week of my TOM... I only lost 2 pounds that week and subsequently gained 1 and then lost 1 during the next 2 weeks... total bummer!!! I heard this is common since you retain Water... but it totally sucks!! -
One of the main differences is the number of calories we intake... typically anorexics will only intake around 100-300 calories per day, and if they do take in more, they purge.... Whereas most of us take in around 600 calories per day for the first 3 months and then 800 for the next 3.... Another thing that makes a huge difference is that typically anorexics are already average weight or below... thus the side effects of their diet... ie. the lanugo, swollen joints, and arrhythmias.... ** i'm not saying that all anorexics/bulimics are normal or below normal weight... i have fought bulimia for about 9 years now...

Suddenly Single... now what?
Coookies replied to dramagirl28's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sorry about your relationship! That really sucks!! I know cuz my ex-boyfriend dumped me the Friday before my surgery!! I was heartbroken and terrified and that was the worst week of my life i think! I'm also worried about finding a new boyfriend when I'm covered in lose skin, but right now i'm focusing on me... I'm going to be thin and smoking hot when I see my ex again and i'm going to flaunt it in his face! Great plan huh?!?! Anyway, I'm glad you aren't giving up! -
Swimming--anyone know the wait time after surgery?
Coookies replied to MissJ482's topic in Fitness & Exercise
That's cool I taught Water aerobics as one of my part-time jobs in college, as well as lifeguarding at my uni pool... one woman who had had her knee replaced, could hardly get in and out of the pool when she started... i had to help her... but after a few months of daily w.a. she was practically hopping out of the pool by herself... That made me so proud!! And in a salt water pool is even cooler cuz of the increased buoyancy you get.... -
I think im breaking my stall~!! yay!! I've been forcing myself to eat 6-8 mini protein meals a day for the last 2 days...and this morning am down half a kilo
