Pre Op Tomorrow
kimmy*custis replied to emelia.larock's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am sooo excited for you all! You will do great, dont dwell on the issues, I kinda did and guess what, I had none! No gas, no issues whatsoever! I only had to do the clear liquid diet for two days before surgery, thank goodness! Best of luck with your surgeries, keep us posted. -

Deli Shaved Turkey
kimmy*custis replied to Nomadgirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That is understandable. There are sooo many different plans depending on the Dr you had so I just tried it, chewed really well and had no issues. Give it a try, your body will tell you if it is ok with it. Just start slow, a very small bit or two and see what happens. Good luck to you! -
6 Days Out And I Feel So Tired And Weak
kimmy*custis replied to allmee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It is normal to have these feelings, your body is going thru some major changes right now. It will get better, I promise. I was a little tired the first two weeks but I feel amazing now, sooo much more energy. -
Woo hoo! You are doing great, keep up the good work!!

Deli Shaved Turkey
kimmy*custis replied to Nomadgirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was eating the thin turkey/chicken at just under 3 weeks. I am 5 1/2 weeks out and have had lots of different meats, no steak, pork chops etc yet but lots of ground chicken,pork , fish etc. I never end up having much room for vegies but I try to get al least a few bites in. -
Can Exercise Be Bad?
kimmy*custis replied to Joiebean's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was wondering the same! I have been doing light weight training and have stalled just a bit the last few days. I havent eaten any more than normal so it sounds like a logical answer. -
How Did You Progress Through The Food Phases?
kimmy*custis replied to tasherie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I progressed quicker thru the food stages than most. I was eating soft foods at 3 weeks, I am eating normal foods now and I am 5 1/2 weeks out. I am only eating about 1/2 cup at a time maybe a bite or two more but that is it. Your body will tell you when you need more, at least mine did. I havent had any issues but be carefull when you do try and chew, chew ,chew! -
Finally Made It To Onederland!
kimmy*custis replied to jerseygirl74's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Yay Jen! Congrats to you! I am hoping I can be there soon, 15 lbs to go to onderland! -
I have tons of energy now too! I actually felt it about 2 1/2-3 weeks out, it was amazing. I could normally take a nap every day of the weekend but now no naps! It is amazing how just a small amount of weight loss increased your energy. Congrats to you!

3 Days Post Opt...
kimmy*custis replied to susiegotsleeved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What are you trying? I had trouble too since I slept a lot. I used crystal light the most and switched off with my protein drink, muscle milk and it was a chore but I tried to drink every 15 minutes. Sometimes I didnt but I never got dehydrated so I guess I did ok. It will get easier every day so dont worry. Just listen to your body, it will tell you really quickly if you need fluids. Good luck to you on your new journey! -
Don't Walk, Run To Your Farmers' Market!
kimmy*custis replied to MegInNOLA's topic in Food and Nutrition
I am sooo hungry now...I love all my vegies and cant wait to try these recipes! -
I have my 2 cups, black , every day...no issues! I think they are assuming everyone loads their coffee with sugar and creamer and that wouldnt be good. I guess it can be acidic but if we drank it before what is the issue, we have the same stomach, just smaller!
-
I did the same, I needed real food...and I did it! Just take slow and chew well.

I can honestly say NO REGRETS whatsoever! I am having the best time with my friend sleevie! She likes me, I like her! My only "regret" is that I didnt do this sooner!
-
Go ahead and use your bbq sauce, cant be using that much can you? I have all kinds of sauces ( I am a condiment queen) Take a look at the labels, I am sure some have less sugar than others.

When Can U Can U Hotdog Without Bread Or Chicken Sausage
kimmy*custis replied to fat2handsome's topic in Food and Nutrition
They have fat free hot dogs, I havent personally tried them but my girlfriend, who had the rouy-n-y 7 years ago swears by them. Cant hurt to try one and see! -
I dont think you are doing to much. How are you feeling? Your body would tell you if you are doing too much I am sure. Keep up the good work, I wish I was as motivated as you!
-
I had no gas...thank goodness! It will get better daily, hang in there! You will be up and about sooner than you think. Just dont forget to walk, walk, walk! As far as the protein/water thing, it was hard for me to get it in too but I did it, just had to force myself cause I didnt want to end up back in the hospital because I was dehydrated! Best of luck to you!!!

Your Healthy Go-To Food
kimmy*custis replied to Joiebean's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love this topic! I actually havent found anything different, believe it or not. I was expecting to hate all kinds of things, like when I was pregnant but I can eat pretty much anything I did before. My go to food that I cannot get enough of is fish ceviche, I can eat it all three meals a day!!! -

Sleep On Your Stomach?
kimmy*custis replied to Debvzw's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a side sleeper but I found myself waking up on my stomach the first week out of surgery, it was weird! I quit waking up that way after the second week. I would say by 4-6 weeks otherwise. -
I agree, we cant eat much at one sitting so I dont think th sugar will be an issue. We did chinese last week and the hubby had cashew chicken and beef egg foo young and I just picked some meat out of both, a few bites of vegies and a couple small bites of the egg foo young...was fabulous and I didnt eat much.
