How Long Before Chicken?
Tracym1107 replied to dstollery's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For some reason I can't eat chicken. After trying several times...I just gave up It was moist but just doesn't work. Hope it works for you. Chicken was about the only meat I ate before the surgery so I'm being forced to try new things! -
Do You Still Feel Hungry/have Cravings?
Tracym1107 replied to Fishy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon requires high protein...low carb as well. -
My Holy Cow Moment...

I've always been bigger than my husband so when I tried on his t-shirt today and it fit....I was excited. It was almost too big! -
Sh!t Just Got Real. Regrets.
Tracym1107 replied to got2bethin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is tough! I am trying to make things as normal as possible. Still go out to eat with my husband and family/friends. I missed the social part of it. I don't eat much...just a couple of bites but at least I feel included. I wish you the best! Hope it gets better soon! -
Yes! Please keep in touch. If you are on Facebook, you can add me. Tracy Walters Mills!

Ground burger is listed as an acceptable food by my doctor's office as long as it is soft enough to be cut with a fork.
-
Oh wow!!! I'm sure you have lost more than me. I just started losing weight bc I had so much fluid. Yes, I eat a ton of cheese and meat. They want me to add more vegetables but I'm so concerned with getting in the protein...I don't get a lot if veggies in. Are you doing ok since the surgery?
-
I get all my protein from food. If I had to drink or eat anything with whey protein, I would starve. Can't even stand the smell of it. It makes me vomit. My husband drinks protein shakes after working out/lifting and I will not even let him come near me while he's drinking it!

It does sound like a stricture. A co-worker had that problem and she had the symptoms!

1 Month Post Op And Not Losing:-(
Tracym1107 replied to Sandy009's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think 22 pounds is great! I will be one month on Sunday and I've lost 18 so far. But I didn't lose anything the first two weeks due to fluid retention. The doctor told me not to compare myself to other people (which is hard). The scales are moving in the right direction so don't get frustrated! -
Ugh! That's terrible! I only have that problem with eggs and whey protein. The smell of both make me vomit immediately! Hope it gets better soon.

One Piece Of Advice?
Tracym1107 replied to Uniqueladybug's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Once you can start eating...chew...chew...chew and eat SLOW! I've learned the hard way. Best of luck!!! -
If you are chewing good and eating slow and it's still happening...I would call the doctor....just to be sure! Hope you feel better soon.

How Much Is Too Much Sugar Post-Op Diet?
Tracym1107 replied to Cheryl Barfoot's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You may want to check with your doctor but I was allowed cream soups in my liquid phase. As long as they were the Healthy Request and I strained them. -

I Feel Horrible
Tracym1107 replied to TinyMamiOf3kids's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thinking of you and hoping you get some answers! -
I did have complications after surgery and had to be moved to ICU but please know it had NOTHING to do with the surgery. I am a type 1 diabetic and had complications due to that. I would do it over and have no regrets! No worries you will be just fine!!
-
Happens when I eat too fast or don't chew enough.
-
Glad to know I'm not the only one! I wear a coat at work and sleep under two blankets.
-
Saying a prayer for you! Hope it all works out!
-
I worry about the same thing. I had complications in the hospital but after that I haven't had any issues. Never took pain meds. I can drink fine (I'm just not thirsty). No trouble with any foods except eggs (and that was a problem prior to surgery). The only time I've been sick is bc I ate too fast. I can eat 2-4 ounces depending on what I'm eating. I thought something was wrong with me!
-
Me too! Can't do beef or chicken so I used turkey in everything!
-
Lots of tuna. 2.5 ounces has 16 grams. Turkey sausage and ground turkey and chili without Beans. Oh and cheese. It's been easier because everything was pureed. Now that I've started trying regular foods...I can't eat nearly as much. I try anything possible to keep from drinking Protein shakes. If I absolutely have to...I drink the pre-mixed EAS shakes.
-
I am almost 4 weeks out.
-
I don't do shakes at all...can't stand them. I get at least 70 grams of protein from food (which is what my surgeon requires)! You don't need them as long as you are getting your protein requirements in.
