18 Days Post Op And I Just Want A Salad Haha
TracyZ replied to girlnamedNikki's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It took me 2 1/2 monts until I could handle salad-- it hurt my belly earlier than that-- I was on a lot of yogurt, soups, tuna, eggs at 18 days out.. They told me 700- 800 calories ... which some days I am over some under.. I have re-introduced shakes because I don't feel I am getting enough protein.. LOVE bean or pea soup though! -
Looks good but even a large seems like it may be small.. I may look into custom garments

Yoyu are moving ahead and they loved you then since they are noticing your loss-- if they said nothing then they did not care back when you were heavier! Congrats on the new you

Exactly at least the cheat was not and not 5 days after surgery as the repercussions are so much worse-- Move on and behave... You can do it

Thanks so much!!

OH and I have that darn indigestion/acid too and I never had it before-- TUMS are my friend now!

WOW they did not tell you to be sure to get in Protein?? SO important-- here is a link to a meal plan for us that I found online that is similar to the one I got from my NUT .... Google Cornell VSG Diet and the link is probably the second one on the list it is a PDF file ... this is the name of the document: The Cornell Weight Loss Surgery Program: Dietary Guidelines for Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Good luck!!!

What Are You Eating At 7 Weeks?
TracyZ replied to phatdivabbw's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Main thing is to ge tthe protein-- try to get some vegs/fruit in or you will get all bound up I am eating 5 prunes daily to combat that issue! One of my favorite "snacks" is edamame-- I buy the steamfresh bags-- pop in micro-- sprinkle with sea salt and nibble on them... I love my sf ice pops and fudgesicles too! .. Todau I broke down and got a Taco on the way into work from taco bell-- one of those Dorito ones-- chewed a lot for sure!
