I agree with Gene1970... Lose the mashed potatoes. They are just empty carbs & carbs turn into sugar.. no protein. And like everyone has said, drink & walk, drink & walk...Get as much protein in that you can...

Good luck...and the journey beginnings! Keep us posted!!!

It's Been A Month....
Doreykn replied to pinkiguana's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try not to be so down on yourself(I know,easier said than done)... we all have slows. It will come off,if you follow drs orders. Not everyone loses at the same rate. If you can't exercise yet, WALK... Walking is what helped me the most and still does! It will get better. Try tracking all your meals on myfitnesspal.com That's what Iuse.It helps me keep on track... Good luck -
The Worst Decision I Ever Made
Doreykn replied to 1maryreigel's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Praying you feel better soon... -
Try resale shops or Salvation Army in your area. That's what I did. I now buy cheap stuff from Walmart until I get to my goal weight!

No Longer Hot? Omg This Is Awesome!
Doreykn replied to WhoozisAnyway's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I used to be a human furnace... No longer!!! Now, I actually get chilled in the air conditioned buildings! I blamed it all on peri-menopause! Just another reason to LOVE my sleeve!!! -
New Here! I Was "sleeved" On 5/9/12.
Doreykn replied to bean406's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome to the site... Lots of info here...AND LOTS of SUPPORT too! Check out myfitnesspal.com to help you track your eating. It's a great tool to use. Oh yeah & take your measurements if you haven't already. That was my biggest regret (I didn't even think to do that in the beginning)! Good luck & remember to drink plenty of liquids & walk, walk, walk!!! If you ever eat too much or your sleeve feels funny, WALK. It helps soooo much! -

How About Protein Bars?
Doreykn replied to MSVEEKAYWHY's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Look up the Atkins bars...I use them all the time. Takes care of the munchies & gives you the protein! atkins.com The chocolate chip granola & peanut butter granola are great! -
I don't have periods, but Liquid Tylenol works much better for my knee pain than regular Tylenol

Yeeha.... The size 12 shorts are to big! Wore them yesterday & I could slide them off without undoing them!!!

Veterans: Ever Wish You'd Gotten A Diff Surgery?
Doreykn replied to amytug's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was considering the bypass until my surgeon totally explained the differences in a way I could fully understand. It was the best choice for me. I'm just over 6 months out & have lost 82 lbs. I couldn't be happier! -
I do the same thing... My drs. scale makes me 3 lbs heavier... I told him I like my scale better, he said it really doesn't make that big of a difference, as long as as I'm still showing a loss...
-
My only regret is, that I didn't get my sleeve sooner! I love it! It won't be long & you will be able to eat other foods, just be careful what you choose to eat...
