Can't get enough protein
doreen70 replied to cabreralisa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try freezing them, and eating like a treat. -
You can buy them online, I think bariatric pantry has them. You can purchase the sample pack so you can test out the flavors. I added PB2 powder to chocolate chike powder protein with high protein milk-I used a blender bottle to keep it watery. I also used a straw to drink it because the smell nauseated me.

Please be honest...

I drank a lot pre surgery. At one month post op my surgeon said I could have it again. -
Yes.

I'm nearly 4 months out. I haven't had bread since surgery. I have cut out bread, pasta and rice. I really haven't missed it. Last night I took a bite of pizza, and panicked-so I spit it out. One of the doctors that I work with is teeny tiny-she doesn't eat carbs. She was excited to tell me she tried Ezekiel tortillas and they were great.

What a difference 55 lbs makes

Very beautiful! Congrats on your success! -
Try the world according to egg face. Google her blog, she has shake recipes. I made my own. Chocolate powder(chike), 7 oz milk, and pb2 powder. At one month my nutritionist insisted I get 70 gms. And I argued the smell turned me off. She said I could use a straw, and to use a shaker bottle. It helped a lot. Talk to your nutritionist.

I am a nurse, and I am lucky. My coworkers have been completely supportive. Sorry that you had that happen.

I have to say that increasing my calories has helped break a stall. When I eat better, my scale shows it. -
No More Advil.....EVER!
doreen70 replied to JeffNNJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've not tried the patch. I use a cream that is made for me by a pharmacist. Works amazingly well. She can even add Ketamine to a cream-with zero systemic effect. -
At nearly 3 months I was allowed raw veggies. Salads and coleslaw are two that I enjoy.

Check with a local compounding pharmacy, and see if they make a cream with NSAIDS. I have a script for a cream that has baclofen, gabapentin, cyclobenazaprine, flurbiprofen and prilocaine. Works great on my upper back/shoulder pain. -

Breakfast was a scrambled egg. Lunch tuna salad, and dinner was either a seared scallop or shrimp.

Some days I can eat what seems a lot, other not
doreen70 replied to notsochubbybritneyspears's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel the same way today. Most days I can barely eat two ounces of protein, and 1/4 cup of veggies. Today I had an egg for breakfast. Two prunes as a snack. 3 strawberries (we went to pick our own). Then ate two ounces of grilled chicken with about 8 bites of baby greens. Dinner was about 3 ounces of salmon plus more baby greens. I'm full, but so nervous that I are two much. -

Things to buy for post-op
doreen70 replied to LynnD's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Gas X strips, or mylicon drops. Biotene mouth spray, for post op dry mouth. Good luck!! -
No, I think a nice butt on a guy is a good thing.

I noticed during my bubble bath tonight, that it took less water to cover me. No need to fill the huge tub.
