kristi my nut said a little over 100 is safe for losing weight i dont get to 100 sometimes im under 80 it really depends on what i eat that day

yea i am pear shaped and always had the lower body problem. i have this work skirt that i wear and its now loose around my waist but still tight on my hips. there is is site that cater to pear shape with jeans best fit i ever had no gap a the waist either i just cant think of the name right now.

i was sleeved 9/12/12 like mgsmith. i have lost 19lbs prior to surgery and 35lbs post surgery total of 54lbs. my NSV is my work uniform was way to big for me, my daughter gave me some cute jeans that at first i couldnt fit now i rock them. my feet are much smaller which means i can wear my smaller shoes. my face is way thin and younger looking i love it, and ppl tell me how good i look almost everyday. i get down because i see ppl that had surgery around the same time as me and they have lost way more. but my nut said i am on target, they expect 30lbs lost in 3 months i did that in 2 months. i dont eat bad at all i eat all good healthy foods ive had maybe 1.5 cookie at work since surgery. i dont crave sweets anymore and when i do eat them it taste like sugar to me. i get all my protien through food my carbs are under 100grams a day, my only problem is i cant get enough calories in thats the hard part. the down side is i go through periods of naseau for days and then i feel better after a few days. i can only eat 2 -3 bites of dense foods. soft foods i can get in with no problem (exp) cottege cheese yogarts, cheese chili. but whole meats like chicken i get really full. some days i feel like im not going to lose all of the wieght but i guess thats a normal feeling, trying not to feel like im on a diet. trying to just be normal.

yea what getting said. get well girlfriend

its gone now i feel so much better and my appitie is back

kparker yea i had to get creative i eat turkey corn dogs, teriyaki chicken, orange chicken all from trader joes already made. i am getting bored again so i need to find some new foods to eat in order to be successful at this you must plan because if you eat random you dont know what your nutritional value is for the day. at least till you can visually see and add it in your head.

green thank you kparker, what are you talking about you are doing great that one piece of pumpkin cake will not hurt you. as long as you are logging and eating protien first you should be fine. my focus is getting my protein first, my nut said make sure i balance she wants balance so with my protien i have fruit or veggie. call your nut and talk to her. i have kaiser and i have one assigned to me and she is so helpful when i call her. here is an example of wht i am eating breakfast 2 turkey sausage patties, half of pair snack 1/2 cup of chobani chocolate yogart lunch 2oz tuna salad, 2 miltans whole grain crackers, 1/4 cup apple slices snack trader joes chicken egg roll dinner spinach salad with a teaspoon of regular ranch dressing and a whole egg snack (if Hungry) 1/2 cup lowfat cottege cheese with half a pair this is typical for me. i also plan out my meals for the day as you can see. cant wait to reach goal so it wont be as intense lol. that totals up to about under 900cal under 100grams of carbs and around 75 grams of protien

getting im better today.i cant eat as much either i have days where i force myself to eat. i need to get protien for days like that

http://xnet.kp.org/misg/bariatrics/Bariatric_Menu_Stage_4.pdf very normal. i spoke with my nut today and she said there will be days when you can eat 2 bites and days you can barley eat. now if you are eating every 2-3 hrs its natrual for the body to be hungry in that time frame, there is also what some call head hunger im sure someone will let you in on what that is, i for one have not had it. also are you taking any ppi for acid they say take that before you eat a lot of times its not hunger but stomach acid. also are you drinking your Water it could mean you are just thirsty. as far as what to eat i can give you a link from kaiser if you like. just in case here it is, thats wierd it posted at the top.

ok am i alone. i am 11 weeks out and for the past month i feel like i have been eaten cotton. at night its worse i wake up with cotton mouth grosssss. please tell me i am not alone with this. i drink all of my water and then some. i wonder if its supplements or ketosis effect?

hey aims. what part of la are you in i am west la.

googled it and its part of ketosis

i just spoke to my nut and she said with over the counter vitamins its just a .25 a day differance in price. taking the celebrate gives me all i need i just take b 50 and b12 and calcium and she said soon i will be off the b vitamins all together. she also told me that feeling sick is a part of healing. she said there will be days when i can only eat 2 bites and days i can eat 3 bites. and i told her my stomach is angry she laughed

green yes call them thats crazy.i will be 3 months dec 12 also and they took blood twice since surgery. and i didnt know there was a kaiser in atlanta

yea my mouth taste horrible also. ok good its not just me.

newstart we started with the same stats but today i am 242 7lbs behind you now. started at 266 day of surgery 277 wow

getting. i agree 100% right now my funds are funny and hopefully by the time i finish this bottle i can afford the next one if not the trader joe ones is on my list of vitamins that are recommended post surgery. celebrate are really good i feel good about taking them but it all depends on how my money looks lol. guys my stomach has reversed back to my first week after surgery i am nauseous after eating my hunger level is super low. every since i got sick on thanksgiving my tummy is not the same. and my pressure is super low now and im dizzy geesshhhhhhhhhhhhh

mdm mines is miramdi. she will follow me and katie is my nut. momof i didnt try them yet i still have celabrate left, lots in my btl. i did get there chewy calcium and omg taste like chocolate now and laters. its like eating a piece of candy and you only need two of them.

alicia thank you for this post. i am going through the same thing. i had an episode on thanksgiving and every since i have been so nauseated daily where i cant finish my food. im going to have to try drinking warm tea in the morning because every morning its the same thing and i get full very fast

i hear a lot of ppl losing hair. i take baratric advantage vitamins for wls has everything in it. over the counter is good im sure but these were designed for wls patients so what do you take?

fiddleman i take the chewables. at first after surgery they made me sick to the stomach because they are sweet. now i take them like a champ. i was at trader joes today they are getting a lot of new vitamis i notece they have chewable multi now wow. and after i finish my last bottle of celbrate i will buy trader joes they are under 10 dollars and by then i will be way over 3 motnhs out and will feel comfotrable with taken them. i also bought there chewy calcium today very cheap. i think i did good with getting the right nutritinon i feel i can stop the expensive celebrate. yayyyyyyy loli i agree. and i am bad at taken any kind of pills when i am suppose to the less the better for me. right now i do b12 3x a week mon,wed,fri with a sublinigul b Vitamin and 2x a day my chewable multi and my 2x a day calcium which you cant take with the multi at the same time. wha a pain but i need to do this.

green i am also through kaiser. i just got blood work for my dec 5th visit so far its been done twice since surgery. who is your dr. mines is miramdi. mdm i hear you girl on the funds. i ordered 3 months supply before surgery at first i was like this is a lot but now its just right. i was at trader joes today and they now have the multi in chewable take twice a day. after these run out i will get those they were like maybe $9 mines is 15.99 plus tax and shipping. yikes.

hey man any los angeles sleevers in the house. a lot of north cali folk.

getting there have you started losing hair? 11 weeks today man time flies. ive been nauseated a lot more than usual. only when i eat. now i have to order protien drinks because there are now days i wont get it from my food because i just dont want to eat all the time. weird. anyway hope everyone is having an awesome day
