What To Order At Restaurants, Business Trips
39m posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to veteran sleevers out there. I have to travel frequently for work and often have dinner with clients or colleagues, and I don't feel comfortable explaining to everyone that I've had a gastric sleeve surgery. I've been struggling a bit on my first trip , overeating several times (ending up in the restaurant's restroom puking the extras !) I know this is embarrassing and sensitive but don't laugh at me lol What tips can you share in terms of what to order at restaurants, reasonings to explain the small portions (I say am on a diet etc..)? I'd love to hear from you all Thanks -
wow amazing work I only lost about 45 lbs..

Oh I loved cashew nuts and almonds ! I could handle them at the end of week 3 I think , when I had trouble eating even mashed potatoes.. Hang in there.. you need 2 more weeks to feel much better.. -

39m replied to Holly5.3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got sleeved on 10/18 th the first 2 weeks were really hard on me.. Take it easy on yourself and get a lot of liquids.. hot chocolate (try the low calorie stuff), soups It DOES get BETTER.. just needs time.. I feel so much better the past two weeks and can eat almost anything -

I agree with the "hard for guys" bit ! and it's hard for people to see a 200 lb + guy eating so little anyway thanks for all the awesome answers everyone -
Wow this is amazing progress I've only lost 30 lbs in 42 days so far - havent' really started hitting the gym - just jogs and walks as I wasn't feeling good the first weeks I've dropped jeans sizes but feel sad about the belly fat.. this looks stubborn and harder to get rid off ! I should start hitting the gym seriously this week

Cashew Nuts And Almonds - To Eat Or Not To Eat
39m posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi I'm in the 5th week post op and can't tolerate well a lot of food.. but I can eat roasted cashew nuts, almonds and pistachios without any problem.. I do eat chicken, shrimp and turkey and other food, but it feels so heavy on my stomach still, yet I can eat half a cup of nuts and feel good I'm worried about the calories and fat content though.. What do you recommend ? and what was your experience ? Thanks - I'm feeling guilty right now and not sure I should keep eating those -

Cashew Nuts And Almonds - To Eat Or Not To Eat
39m replied to 39m's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for all the answers and suggestions ladies.. so a very small portion well measured could be justified from time to time.. calories should be carefully counted.. I just love nuts and they slide very well.. Mrs Saso how are you feeling at the moment? in which stage are you and what can you eat? -

Should I Be Freaking Out Like I Am?
39m replied to Aimstergal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't be depressed.... take it easy on yourself - your body is still heaving from the surgery... weight yourself once a week and be easy on yourself.. make sure you limit the juices (full of sugar) -
I also recommend you stick to what your Nut is telling you .. in my case I'm able to have a square inch of soft bread without issues, say with light philadelphia cheese, but everyone is different.. some people can eat eggs, I threw up twice trying... so everyone is different
-
Crystal light is good.. right out of Op I used to sip Gatorade all day to keep hydrated .. at 19 days post-op I still hate still water alone.. not sure why... was able to drink it normally before..
-
Wow.. awesome pics ! gorgeous really... I'm still at the beginning of the journey but feel already much better looking at the mirror..
-
Awesome ! lucky you ... I'm 15 days post op.. tried to eat a scrambled egg this morning and it didn't go through.. had to spit it out.. this is a bit hard but I'm fine on Soups / diet ice cream
-
Be patient .. weight yourself once a week (I'm doing it once a day too so am not better than you !) you will lose the weight just be patient (as long as you're not sipping sugar non stop)

Lucky you... .I had awfull reflux 2 days post-op...
