I live like 3 blocks from the middle school where the highschool plays football. I never would have thought about that

Lucky! All the walking paths are way steep around here. Havent found any flat enough to walk (Have an app on my phone that shows all the hiking trails near me.) I finally was able to walk around my block this morning but really need to get out of the house!

Restriction Is A Lot Less After 4.5 Days Post Op - Is This Normal ?
mkb805 replied to marketingdude's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It wasnt me with the sore throat. I ate last night because I wanted some real normal food. I felt fine after eating it. I took only a few bites though but sure as hell feeling it this morning I guess I thought since I was able to eat eggs and oatmeal no problem that I would be able to eat anything. Big mistake but definitely learned I need to stick with the diet list! But yeah. Starbucks I ordered a kids size so didnt feel too guilty but same time dont want to think of the calorie count!!! -
Restriction Is A Lot Less After 4.5 Days Post Op - Is This Normal ?
mkb805 replied to marketingdude's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on Thursday and I am having the same thing. I was craving real food so I actually ate. No vomiting. I only ate a few bites though. I kinda ruined the diet by getting Starbucks after a meeting though I noticed with me I can hold way more now than last few days. -
Try bringing it in the bedroom next time yall do your thing. I have toys but usually keep it hush hush til the guy suggests trying it. Or even buy a new toy and ask if you guys can try it out?

Talk to your primary care doctor. Mine was able to get me the referral to get me started. I have an H M O insurance so with mine everything must go through the primary. It took about a year after my first doctor's appointment to get the surgery so dont give up -
I got it at Vons. (Some stores are called Safeway here in California too) They are no sugar added and there are 12 in the box.

How far should we all be walking post op? I had the surgery on Thursday but still hurts to walk. Yesterday I was able to walk to the mailbox and back, Got out of breath since its on a hill. I did it today also just my stomach is killing me. I was only told to walk everyday but how far should I go?

Thanks! So much to learn now!
-
Im only 4 days out. Ill give it a try in a few weeks
-
Would it even be ok to try after surgery? I used to eat pumpkin seeds a lot before surgery but couldnt imagine having them now.
-
Im curious too lol. My aunt had bypass and still hasnt got rid of the saggy skin. So gross when she showed me! I been hoping with lapband to lose weight slower though.

I was scheduled on Tuesday to get the gastric sleeve. I started freaking out the night before and was not mentally able to go in. I called and asked if I could get lap band instead so tomorrow is the big day. Really looking forward to it. I think the lap band is right for me.

Try Dryer's fruit bars. Sugar Free and yummy

Good luck on your surgery Destynee1! I was on the verticalsleevetalk.com site and the night I tripped out and was like "Im getting lapband instead" I got so many negative comments it just made me want to get this and prove that I can lose weight. I wish you the best! Let me know how you do Monday! Ill be thinking about you!!!

She is blessed to have a step mom like you! My parents were always at work when we were little so we ate a lot of junk food and fast food.Unfortunately those were that bad eating habits that stuck with me as an adult. I would have done anything for home-cooked meals every day!
-
Done! Still feel sick and nauseous. Stomache hurts like hell! Can anyone tell me how long it takes to feel normal again?
-
What foods are good sources of protein? I was told meat but I really dont eat meat. I live alone and cant afford meat, plus never really liked the taste/ texture.

I am really looking forward to this. Little nervous. I never had any kind of surgery. But I feel better knowing they are not taking out 85% of my stomach. I am just thankful my insurance let me do this last minute. Gotta be at the hospital tomorrow at 9:30. This clear liquid diet is miserable! Cant wait to become more active and learning better nutrition.
