Getting ready for surgery....
Sammi25 replied to readingteacher's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
hi diane! i am 3 months out, and my surgery has helped me kick my prediabetes sleep apnea and balanced out my hormones. it is scary to take on this challenge, but only during the surgery. it is sooo worth it and this site offers amazing support! reach out to us for questions it will definately ease your mind! my tip would be to find a good tasteless protein powder so you can mix it in with your liquids post op. i use bipro and its great even now mixed in with yogurt. i was tied the first week post op but now i am back in the gym and i feel so much better than i used to. it really is a fresh start to a new life!!! and also some of that hormone that creates the hunger sensation is removed during the surgery i hve felt no hunger just some acid which is remedied quickly by a tums now and again. good luck to you!!! -
sounds delicious!

My roommate hid my scale
Sammi25 replied to FishingNurse's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i had a stall bout 1 month out and was wondering the same thing. not sure if the body goes into "starvation mode" and tries to hold onto all of its fat? i walked as much as i could tolerate (slow walk!) and the more i did that the more inches that came off. i hope you take your measurements because i know that is where most of us see the biggest difference when it is not always reflecting on the scale! -

they are great for some Fiber and Protein but their high carb count kind of negates the positives -

Question for Post Op Sleevers!
Sammi25 replied to lisajxoxo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i would have purchased a tasteless protein powder and not wasted my money on other drinks i love bipro i got it online and it is great -
nacnic, i am 8 weeks post op and just found a tasteless protein powder called BiPro. i bought it online and i mix it with greek yogurt every morning. a scoop gives like 20g of protein and it keeps me full a few hours. I like it because it is tasteless and is not sweet like other protein powders. It is like $40 for a giant jug but it is worth it!

How much weight loss in 1st week?
Sammi25 replied to jillw8's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
i was down 16 but im sure most of that was fluids i am 7 weeks out now and don 33 from surgery 50 from my highest weight. good luck and remember to measure your inches lost! -
I love salad but the ingredients never go down smooth. i can have any veggies or fruit that have waxy coating on the seeds the only thing that really gives me trouble is lettuce and cucumbers im about 7 weeks out too
-
i could barely do 4 ounces for a long time now i can do 4 oz of anything really but if i go above that it comes right back up as u go u will learn if u have "one bite too much" before u swallow it. i am almost 2 months out now and feel perfect u will g et there too
-

How much should I be eating?
Sammi25 replied to CCinINdiana's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Cathi - I am about 6.5 weeks out and i can handle about 4 oz at a time, denser proteins like chicken or beef maybe a little less. You don't seem to be eating as much as suggested and I can't imagine you are getting in enough protein. It will hurt at first to do the 4 oz (or recommended amount by your surgeon) but try to get in good protein rich foods first, greek yogurt tuna chicken etc. Hope you find a comfy level for your sleeve! -
