    Average calorie intake

    Threetimesacharm replied to Huntingnurse's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    At six weeks 500-600 calories. I am now 22 weeks and probably float between 600-800 calories. I find that too much I don't lose. I know that many on here eat more calories but you want to make the most of your first 6 months as you will lose the most during this time.

    At OCC - lots of waiting

    Threetimesacharm replied to SoCalDixieGal's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    Oh at least you have the paper underwear, I had none!! Sending you all best wishes your way, you will do fine!!

    I did not have to get out of the car in either direction. Coming back your coordinator should give you a medical pass and you should be able to sail right through no waiting. Make sure that you get/ask for one.

    Hmm chocolate is not "unflavoured".

    No magic for sleevers in Disney

    Threetimesacharm replied to SkinnyInDisney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I totally agree with other posters. Firstly you should speak with the Manager and let them know what happened. Secondly for your next "meal" tell them you are NOT eating, get a drink, and bring a protein drink if you have one. That is ridiculous that they made you pay $40.00.

    Has anyone used, or know of anyone who has used Dr Salas for plastic surgery? I am considering going to see him March 2013 and thought I would see if anyone could offer some insight. thank you

    How big is our stomach now?

    Threetimesacharm replied to Pinkputter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Most are correct in saying the shape of a banana, not a "thumb"(it is not the gastric bypass) and remember that it does not stretch so yes a banana it is. For anyone that had the barium swallow you would have seen it on the xray machine as the liquid flowed through it.

    does it grow back?

    Threetimesacharm replied to soprofound's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I don't think anyone will only be able to eat an "ounce" of food for the rest of their life. You will be able to eat more but never as much as pre-sleeve. They say you can eat as much as 6-8 ounces in time.

    cauliflower crust pizza

    Threetimesacharm replied to stacygrdnr's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)

    When you put the riced cauliflower in the microwave to cook you don't need to add any water, it has enough moisture in it to cook fine. This might have been why one poster had mashed consistency instead of riced.

    Nut up'd my calories/workout questions

    Threetimesacharm replied to sarahp_newme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I find that switching up my caloric intake has helped me with my weight loss. The poster that talks about the 1200 calorie minimum has obviously not had surgery yet. I find I vary also from 600-800 calories and sometimes when I eat more I lose more too. I think you will be fine eating less on weekends and more when you work out.

    omg never ever again..

    Threetimesacharm replied to Nicki13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Curried what and why are you eating rice? You are only three weeks out should you not be on a pureed/mushy stage? Follow your nutritional guidelines.

    Post-VSG meal amounts = Normal Servings

    Threetimesacharm replied to theosmom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I agree with you. I am shocked with the copiuos amounts of food that my coworkers eat. They literally shovel it in in huge mouthfuls and barely chew. Now I was banded previously for 5 years so I guess my eating habits changed a long time ago. I guess this was me too at one time. How sad I am for myself.

    Mexico?

    Threetimesacharm replied to SuchaPrettyFaceBUT's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    As Bluto mentioned the Mexican doctors have performed thousands of surgeries compared to the hundreds that many doctors in the states have performed. They are top notch and definitely go the extra mile. For instance many doctors do not do 3 leak tests; those in Mexico do.

    you will be weak and tired, as your body is adjusting to the low calorie intake and is using your fat stores for energy. For some it takes weeks for them to get their energy back, just be patient and enjoy the ride!

    First of all you are not "starving", people in third world countries are starving. It sounds like you need a PPI it is probably stomach acid. Try taking one and see what happens. You can also ask your surgeon for suggestions when you see him. If you are still supposed to be on clear liquids, stay there, I had a week of clear liquids until I went to full liquids.

    Blood sugar spikes with Miralax?

    Threetimesacharm replied to Facing50's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    To answer you yes it can increase your blood sugar levels.

    Can we have rice?

    Threetimesacharm replied to geneseohubcap's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    The answer is no, you are only three weeks out you should be on pureed stage. Do you not have a food plan to follow or a NUT to consult?
