thewinds replied to kdippy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am only 6 weeks out but allready snack but I found a local butchers shop that makes thier own jerky it is so good and soft and moist I snack on it a lot it is $$$ but so worth it in the protien calories area and more importantly keeps me out of the carbs. sleeved 4/23/12 Sent from my iPad using VST -
He insisted I stay home so he could ake care of me and my kid. But nothing has been cleaned. Dishes a week old and I am only six days out still with a lot of muscle pain I feel a emotional break coming and him as my focus for letting me down. I want to be patient and not go crazy on him but admit not even trash has gone out in four days my normaly clean house and I can't even invite people over.

About The First Few Days Of Recovery
thewinds replied to lovex5's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My 8 year started taking out trash and picking everything up for me, I had someone at home but he had to work... So I had a lot of one on one with my kid he loved helping and taking care of me, I would say I needed someone at home at least two or three days after school till the kid went to bed, I then would go to bed and get him up for school cereal for breakfast and off to school he went and I'd sleep. Help with shopping is recomened no pushing carts, ride the motorized and have the bagged load your car. Is there maybe a group that helps deployed families that might have a mom who could stay with your for a couple days. First two weeks is when the sleeve can leak so that is the most important time to be carful where are you stationed -

March And April Sleevers How Are You Doing? What Are You Really Eating? (Confessions)
thewinds replied to Anewlifeforme23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hade two bites of a chicken taco today and it was a good thing I had a bag, I was at a birthday party today and had a couple bites of a dairy/gluten free cake and some gluten dairy free ice cream it was like a watermelon Italian ice really good. But the taco didn't like me.... But might been I didn't chew it to mush like everything I chew these days. I am on full regular and required to get 100g protien 80 ounces of Water and under 1000 cal. I have found only problems are things with shells... Corn, peas, Beans, mushrooms, broccilie. I keep to my diet but if something pops up at a party I try things and don't say never can have cause that's no fun and i know I'll be stupid and try and have it out of depriving myself. I lost 28lbs in the last 30 days. -
How Fast Is Too Fast?
thewinds replied to Gastricsleeve4me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can do a cup in 15-20 minutes, I can do 3-4 ounces of chicken in a hour. My doc told me yesterday that you won't allways feel pain when drinking or eating to much so it is important to pace your self just cause there is no pain doesn't mean all is great I find out when I had to much when I run to the bathroom so I slowed down big time. And it is better -
I eat a banna every day since two weeks when I started soft foods.... It is allowed and encouraged. I also threw in some strawberrie in my shaked once for a fix. I trust was told natural sugar from fruit is ok in moderation, the sugars in it are not bad like juice and other things, but like everything strict moderation. Juice and live fruit is not the same thing they digest differently and juice is more concenitrted.

My SO is also supportive says they are going to where they naturally would be without the fat. The supportive nature is so comforting and helps while I am changing so fast.... Now how do I get the trash out lol I went for a 50DD to a 48C I might get a lift someday, or maybe just the tummy tuck.

What Were U Eating At 3 Weeks Post Op?
thewinds replied to CHELL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on soft which means fork mashable. But tuna and canned chicken make me sick so I've been eating grilled chicken that is not over cooked and still juicy inside I chew it forever and it stays down the best. PB on saltines, laughing cow cheese on flatbread toll house crackers, fish, no Shrimp, Wendy's chilli, homemade hummus, pork tenderloin, and string cheese, yogurt, bannanas, oj, protien shakes, I like vanila in oj, or chocolate body fortress with PB, banna in it, also unflavored jay rob I pudding, I drink a lot of power protien pre made shakes in bannana cream, lean body in Cookies and cream and chocolate, Isopure with a squirt of mio. I spoke to my nut today and told her everything she is really happy and says as long as I can keep it down and chew it well I am ok to eat it even if doc still has me on soft, says that everyone tolerates different foods differently and sometimes it will sit well and then the third time it won't and to wait a month and try again. 4weeks out yesterday -
