"airing" On The Side Of Caution....
cmaloney posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hear a lot of people talking about too much air getting in while eating. How can you avoid that? Air is all around us... -
"airing" On The Side Of Caution....
cmaloney replied to cmaloney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks! That's what I do, but I guess I need to take even smaller bites.. -
Is anyone else experiencing loud rumblings after eating? How embarrassing sitting in a meeting & this happens! I know I didn't eat fast at all & I always wait 1/2 hour to drink....

As The Stomach Rumbles....
cmaloney replied to cmaloney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank God I'm not alone in this Lol -
Welcome! I was sleeved on 9/17 and it went great! Sounds like the same kind of process like lap band. You might have to be on puréed longer (not sure if banders go straight to regular food right away). Protein is extremely important with the sleeve. You must get that in first. Remember, you'll be full after 4-5 bites, so make sure you stop when satisfied & not full or you will feel discomfort....best of luck to you! So glad I did this.

Left the hospital on purée for 2 weeks. Now at week 3 starting on soft foods. Cut up chicken, eggs, chunkier soups...all DRS are different.

What is everyone's thoughts on egg whites versus whole egg? I'll be started them next week (can't wait!) & would appreciate any feedback. Is is wrong to not use the egg whites only? Thanks so much...

Good idea!
-
By time I take my small bites, wait a bit in between & take another bite my food is basically cold.....lol

Week 4 And No Weight Loss
cmaloney replied to Before 50's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been in a stall since I came home from the hospital. I hope the scale is just broke because everything is loose on my & people are starting to ask me if I've list weight. So don't worry, it's coming off! -
I have to say that my dog is really benefiting from all the food that I can't finish!! Lucky Dog....
-
You're welcome. At times we do need a little comic relief on this journey! And oh - what a great profession - dog trainer! I commend you!!
-
Lol. Totally. My dog runs from whatever room she's in when she sees me heading to the dining room table. I'm still trying to only cook what I know I'll be able to eat, but so far having no luck! Hehe..
-
I swear this is my last post! Just curious if anyone has had any Italian food & how long after surgery it took?
-
You people are the BEST... So glad I found this site. Anything I have a question about there always seems to be a topic on it.

More Than 3 Bites....
cmaloney replied to cmaloney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's a great idea Artsong. Someone also recommended buying a baby spoon & that's what I'm going to do. -
I'm finally at the point where I'm allowed soft, mushed foods.. Meat loaf chopped really small. Smelled soooo good cooking in oven. But a little bummed when all I could eat was 3 half teaspoons. All that for 3 small bites.. Lol. I can't wait until I'm able to eat just a bit more.

How Were You 2 Weeks Out?
cmaloney replied to butter-fly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First, my condolences on your loss. Your belly will go down significantly. I was back to work in 2 weeks & family & friends told me how noticeably flatter my belly looked. -
I hear ya! That's what I thought & I'm also trying to get in what I'm supposed to at almost 3 weeks out. I don't know jf I envy those people who can eat just a few weeks out..
-
Thanks Andy! You do have a steel sleeve! Good luck to you also...
-
Thanks! Just curious.. I do know we have to wait awhile & I'm not craving it or anything. Reason I asked is I was watching a YouTube video & the woman was 2 weeks post- op & went to a wedding & had meatballs & pasta. Thought that was way too soon.

More Than 3 Bites....
cmaloney replied to cmaloney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
YES! My brain is still in that mode that I have to clean my plate. Hey - many years of doing something one way will take some time.... -
More Than 3 Bites....

That's what the recommended, dark meat.. -
More Than 3 Bites....
cmaloney replied to cmaloney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So true. I do the same thing! Cook so much. Thank God the family will eat it, but I have so much half- eaten food in the fridge. My whole meals now consist on what I used to "test" while cooking dinner pre-surgery! -
More Than 3 Bites....
cmaloney replied to cmaloney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good to know.. Thanks so much. I'm cleared for chicken as well. Hopefully I'll be able to eat at least a piece... I know it takes time, but mentally I'm still trying to wrap my head around the "3 bites & I'm full". I used to eat so much & so fast - hence the surgery! LOL.. Thanks again...
