measuring my protien....is this right?
laylasmojo replied to mommytoethan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Jane, please don't take this as me trying to be rude as I am not sure if you have spent any time in USA but here OZ are used both as a volume measure and a weight measure CC's are only used in medical terms. Like most things over here they like to give terms two meanings , I personaly think that it is just to confuse school children and adults across the country. NTV, If I am remembering what my NUT told me there are 7 grams of protien in 1 oz of chicken as for the other meats I do not know. Your best bet would be to use a program like mydailyplate.com or myfirnesspal.com that will take all the guess work out of it. -
measuring my protien....is this right?
laylasmojo replied to mommytoethan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nope sorry 2 oz weight in different then 2 oz volume. If it make sit easier dont think of your protien in oz think of it in granms. but there is 28 grams in 1 oz. Good Luck all -
I take 5000 mg a day but I am still pre op so I am just trying to build it up in my system hopeing it will work

measuring my protien....is this right?
laylasmojo replied to mommytoethan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
well kinda what fits in a half cup is 4 oz volume wise which is what should fit in your tummy but to count that protien grams you should then take that 4 oz volume and weight then multiply that weight with the amount of protien in the meat that you are eating. ex.. 1/2 cup chicken might weigh 2 oz 2 oz times 7 grams of protien == 14 grams of protien in that 1/2 cup of chicken I hope this makes sense cuz what makes sense in my head does not allwats make sence on paper or well in pc screen. goof luck -
How bad are your scar's?
laylasmojo replied to christina@MIA's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
pumpkin you are the first person on here that I have found that had the SILS my dr also does that. I was just wondering do you think that you had less pain the the 5? how was your healing time? How long till you could lay on your stomach i am a tummy sleeper and this is a worry for me? sorry for all the questions but like I said you are the first one I have found. thanks -
Yup must be a lucky date!!!! Anyway I unfortuanatly dont have a date yet still jumping through insurance hoops yea!!!!! Well Good luck tomorrow recover quick and keep us updated:)

Try dymatized elite thay dont really have that mediciny protied taste and there is alos isopure RTD thay are okay and come in small bottles so you dont have to spend a ton on a tub. Also before you buy any more powders get samples before the tubs even if you have to pay for the samples it is still way cheaper.

Its hard to not be discouraged.
laylasmojo replied to Ihave6kids's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dont be discouraged 13 pounds in 3.5 weeks is awsome thats over a half pound a day!!!! So congrats on that and keep your head up every one is different. -
I'm sorry you have a DR that is like that. That is totaly not right I think it may be time to find another DR that is more willing to take care of there patients.
-
Unfortunatly I have talked to both DR's and trainers and no answeres from them )I think that all think I am nuts and it is all in my head), thats why I thought I would post on here. and yes I am fine with brisk walking its more the ab work out and weight training, and its not that I really get tired just sick, I guess the best way to describe the way it feels is almost like being motion sick. Donna, LOL NOOOOO I most definatly would not be doing anything like that that soon after surgery and I would totaly expect you to yell at me if I had posted something like that.

Hair loss.... wig?
laylasmojo replied to Lori21769's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am in the same boat as you I all ready have thin fine hair you can actullly see my scalp. I have used Nioxin before it helped a little but not to much. I am curently taking biotin hopeing to build it up in my system before the surgery and I plan on gettin Nioxin again after the surgery. But I have a feeling I will wind up having to get some wigs( not looking forward to that )good luck -
Protein Shakes and Staying Hydrated
laylasmojo replied to Lady E.'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
congrats on your date!!! Try not to worry to much. Dymatized elite is my fav you really can not taste the protien in it. Also Isopure RTD will be great for the clear liquids. Sorry I dont know about the rest of the questions as I am still pre op. Good luck keep us posted. -
