Help! Having trouble eating...
Threetimesacharm replied to bradsgirl007's topic in Food and Nutrition
Soft proteins can also be considered pureed. Try soft fishes, tuna, refried beans, chili, cream soups, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, soft cheeses, canned meats(chicken, ham). I would suggest staying away from chicken now as it is really a normal food, unless you puree it with some broth or a liquid. -
Some emotional turmoil after cosmetic/plastics consult
Threetimesacharm replied to CowgirlJane's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
To the OP, I have just recently had a little PS in Tijuana Mexico. I totally experienced standing naked getting your pictures taken, it was the worst feeling ever. Luckily the lady taking the shots was very professional and did not make it seem out of the ordinary for her. I too need to get more surgery, butt lift/thigh lift and my surgeon said that I don't have much fat left on my body! Well can you imagine, I am 5'10" but still weigh 190 pounds. I do see the thinness in me though the breast bone sticking out, concave stomach. He said not to lose more weight as I need the fat to move it into my flat butt. So goal weights are very different, if I stay at this weight I will be overweight according to BMI. I think that I am okay with this. It is all about how we look and feel afterall. -
Thank you for posting your pics you look fantastic. I have the same questions as VSGBrandy if you don't mind saying.

careful eating too much this early out. Your stomach is not healed yet and the nerves are not back to 100%. Keep measuring!

Sounds delicious!!

How long can we safely take a PPI like prilosec or pepsid? I really find they curb my hunger and feel much better taking them. Can we take them long term or should we stop say at 3 months/6 months?

biggest regret
Threetimesacharm replied to rockdutchess82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
None. -
How much is half a bowl? You need to make sure that you always measure out your portion of food; 2-3 ounces of mashed potato and eat slowly. This will alleviate the problem of you eating half a bowl. Good Luck

Craving something sweet
Threetimesacharm replied to mzrich's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
sugar free jams are very sweet if you are looking for that sweet to be satisfied. Careful with the ones with any seeds in them. Add it to yogurt or cottage cheese, very satisfying. -

Managing VSG while traveling every week for work -- tips please
Threetimesacharm replied to zoekids's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like you have a good handle on it. As another poster said the most difficult time will be liquid, pureed, mushy. Try to order things you can eat: soup, mashed potatoes, a dip. These might not be the best choices but if you have to go to dinner with them you have to order something. Most times no one will say anything if you have food in front of you. Push the food around your plate, if it comes with a meat cut it up, make like you ARE eating it. You can always have a shake in your room. Best wishes in Mexico!! -

Quick question before going to the grocery store!
Threetimesacharm replied to mezanne1401's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As others have said asparagus is very fibrous. You are 8 weeks out, if you tolerate many foods well then give a little a try. -
Leak test mexico surgery
Threetimesacharm replied to novam vitam's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I had three leaks tests in Mexico: one during the surgery one drink a little blue water and see if it comes out in your drain one clear liquid swallow where you can see the liquid go through your system into your intestines very cool. If you have a leak I am sure they then fix it. -

Problem: Can eat, but don't want to. Help:-
Threetimesacharm replied to mommyradd's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Unfortunately you will like food again. Take this precious time to lose as much weight as you can so when weight loss slows and your liking for food comes back you will be close to your goal weight. -
