Two Weeks & Regret!
kristlynngirl replied to kristlynngirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm supposed to take small bites setting the fork down in between and stop either when I'm full or at 20 minutes. 65g protein and minimum of 64oz of liquid. It just all seems so so so impossible. -
Two Weeks & Regret!

These sample menus they gave me are 1/4-1/2 a cup at each meal. And they want three meals a day only. No snacks. But 65g of protein. This seems an impossible mountain to climb with just tablespoons at a time. -
So much for that. The 1/4 cup total of cottage cheese mixed with peaches? Yeah. That came back up. So, so far, I can eat scrambled eggs and yogurt. What the hell did I do to myself? I just wanna cry.
-
Ok. I think if I burp, I'm full. I ate about 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and diced peaches. Burped. Stopped. Feel full but not uncomfortable like I have in the past.

I miss food!
kristlynngirl replied to futuremrsparker's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I keep eating by myself on my lunch break too. I feel like an idiot nibbling next to nothing while they shove junk food in their mouths. And the smell, OMG. -

I have no idea what I ate today that didn't agree with me but I'm in agony. I have this stuck feeling that won't go away. I've vomited. Tried papaya enzyme. Sipped water. Now trying a heating pad. This is awful.
-
Everything I have tried to eat today has come back up. And naturally it's my first night back at work. Ugh.

How many times do I need to puke from drinking too fast for me to quit drinking too fast?! Ugh.

Had my post op this morning. All is good. They said I'm losing better than average so far! My HW was 277, SW was 270.1 and at 12 days post op I'm 255.7! Woo!

Like I said I used e-cigs to break a pack a day habit last June. Best thing I ever did. Have I gotten some weird looks? Yeah. But I also had a lot of friends/coworkers ask about them, try them, and it got them off tobacco too.

^^ the yogurt and the egg/ham were too different meals. I failed to make that clear. lol
-
I was also able to eat a whole 5.6 oz yogurt which freaked me out. Everyone said "Three bites and you'll be full." Nope.
-
I don't have a food scale yet so no idea. Guess that needs put on the pay day shopping list.
-
I'm getting concerned because I seem to be able to eat more than everyone else can on soft foods. All I need is for this not to work either. Like for dinner I ate almost a whole hard boiled egg, and a piece and a half each of very thin ham and cheese from the deli.

Thin slice of ham with thin sliced sharp cheddar an a hard boiled egg. -
I'm 11 days out today.
-
I'm totally wiped out today too. I don't know if I just did a little too much over the weekend or what. Concerned because I go back to work tomorrow.
-
I'm completely exhausted today. I don't know if I overdid it over the weekend or not. All I wanna do is sleep. I have so much to do and I go back to work tomorrow. I don't need all this.

Questions on hospital stay
kristlynngirl replied to PittGuy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a private room. Visitors in and out as they pleased. Polite nurses. Always asked about my pain. Would try not to wake me up unless they had to. The interruptions were quick tho - just vital signs, blood sugar and maybe meds. Typical stay is two nights but I stayed a third because I was vomiting.
