Still Not Getting Enough Protein...... HELP!
phutch824 replied to Daddysgirl10's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Try ground up chicken breast or 95% lean beef grounded up. It packs a lot of protein. Cheese sticks are good also. I have also found lightly salted dry roasted edamame is good! -
People and thier opinions
phutch824 replied to heatwhip's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are the only one who can decide what is best for you. I had a bmi of 36 however I also have a fatty liver, high triglycerides, and a recent diagnosis of diabetes. The diabetes was the final straw for me. Some of my closest friends tried to talk me out of the surgery. I am now 1 month out, I look and feel so much better than I did before. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Stay strong!! Patti -

I have capital BC/BS. I had regular bloodwork, gallbladder US and h pylori test. Mine came out positive. The cure for that sucks.

18 days out and have pains on left lower abdomen

Did you vomit? Ovarian area? Have you had a recent bowel movement? -
I am scared to death
phutch824 replied to patsybrown's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Fear is normal. The worst part is the first few days post op and it is the gas pains. I suggest walking ALOT and a heating pad also helped. I have no regrets. Good luck! -

I can't wait to have a piece of pizza. It is one of my favorite foods. I actually had a craving for cheese fries a few days ago. I had about 4 then stopped. I took the rest to go for my boyfriend. As I carried the container out I thought , wow, this is heavy. I used to be able to eat this. Yuck, what was I thinking!! I am now free of cheese fries perhaps forever!!

Hi Everyone, I got sleeved on 3/19 and have been progressing well. Today I started with a "burning" feeling beneath my left incision. I also have pain in m back on the left side. Has anyone else had a similar reaction? Thanks!! Patti

When I had my 2 week postop they said it was the healing process. It is now gone. Yay!!

Do you have any comorbidities? If you have high triglycerides, diabetes, high blood pressure etc, explain to your doctor that you need to live a healthier lifestyle. This is a step in that direction. Good luck.

I was sleeved on 3/19. I am on pureed now. I had trouble with the shakes, gag me, so now most of my protein comes from foods. I actually had a ground up burger for dinner yesterday. Added some mustard and low fat blue cheese. So yummy!! -
Please don't hate me, encourage me!

April 12 is my date and I'm afraid
phutch824 replied to Doughboi's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
To all of you April Sleevers, stay strong! It is normal to be scared of the unknown. While waiting in preop I had thoughts of what am I doing! I had surgery on 3/19. I am starting on eggs and other soft stuff and realizing this is so worth it! I will be able to eat normal foods again just less. It is about making good food choices. I am SO happy I did this for myself.
