What's it like to lose 100lbs?
erp replied to Rvamom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have thin days and fat days but so do my friends who have never had surgery. Unfortunately, I let the scale rule my perception of myself too much. -
Excessive Saliva Post Sleeve
erp replied to BevBrown34's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omeprazole is a ppi. In general, using it to control acid early on is a good idea, would not hurt to try it. I took it for several months post op. I would not rule out eating yet. Irritating your esophagus by eating too much and/or too fast often causes excess saliva as food can back up into your throat. -
I didn't tell my PT pre or post op about my WLS, it was simply none of her business.

139.9 - I'll take it!

Weight Gained Since Having Gastric Sleeve Surgery
erp replied to sleeve 4 me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I gain, it is because I am not sticking to my plan. When I go 100 grams of carbs or less and exercise a little extra, I lose. Now if it was only so easy to stick to that. -
This is so me. I gain and lose the same 5-10 pounds every month.

Get well soon, Jane.

Glad you are back. Maybe the "what did you eat today" thread can be revived. Would like to hear how Weight Watchers goes.

Do People Treat You Differently Now?
erp replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I echo the changes that other have remarked on, men flirt more, ladies chat more, etc. For me, though, it is the non verbals that I noticed the most. People used to literally give me a wide birth when I would walk by or grimace if I asked if the the airplane seat next to them was taken. The nonverbal was a constant reminder of what people were thinking even if they liked me and would never say it out loud. -
14-21 lbs in two weeks?! That is not stuck. Stay hydrated, walk, and focus on healing. Trust the process.

142 but it's that TOM.

I have toyed with the idea of becoming a personal trainer for about a year now.

I do fasted workouts in the morning but on days I workout later in the day, I just eat my regular meals and snacks making sure I finish my meal at least an hour before working out. If I am hungry with less than an hour before exercise, I just have light snack like a protein shake.

Feels like somethings in my throat
erp replied to Marissa Menditto's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had trouble with veggies and chicken (if it didn't have sauce) early on. Had to stick with moister, less fibrous foods. -
Dizziness/Feeling of fainting
erp replied to NatashaSaysRawr's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sip, sip, sip....Happens to me often since surgery, especially when I am working in the yard. For me, it is always related to dehydration. -

Vets still trying to lose - what are your macros?
erp replied to katesuccess's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
I eat a protein bar, like Quest or Combat Crunch, for breakfast and a snack. Lunch is almost always a salad. -
^^^^ what Jane said except 3 yrs and 112lbs.

What can I do with...Brussels Sprouts?
erp replied to Inner Surfer Girl's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)
I make Brussel sprout chips. Cut off end, peel off large outer leaves, lightly toss the leaves in olive oil, sprinkle with salt, spread in single layer and bake until crispy. I then sauté the inner sprout that's left in a pan in ways mentioned by others above. Two dishes, one ingredient for the win! -
Carrot chips- It's a carrot, it's a chip! Seriously though, I love these way more than baby carrots because I can put "stuff" on them like Greek yogurt dip or PB just as you would a potato chip but it's still just a carrot.

erp replied to katesuccess's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
P.S. I changed my workout entries on MFP to 1 calorie so that I don't eat back my exercise calories or have it inflate my macros.
