how much is everyone eating 6 months out?
ruaamy replied to SleeveShelly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel you. I bought a scale and have yet to use it. I think I am over eating also, we'll I know I am! I eat till I am full and just wait the hour to be able to finish my plate. Or I eat six or seven times a day. I have been starving! I increased my ameprazole to twice a day and that seems to help some. I am 8 weeks out right now -
I think it depends on the underwriter or your employees limits. I have UHC and in my plan, it took two days to get approved
-
I had surgery dec 27 th and I have been stuck for 3 weeks now. I am worried this is all I am going to loose

I ate a piece of king cake today too. Regular serving.

Mental Changes/depression/mood swings post surgery
ruaamy replied to CocoM's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did feel little blue about three weeks out, almost like I mourned food a little. It was like a final epiphany that I was never going to be able to eat an entire pizza again lol. I quickly got over it though. I think my moods are more stable and I have so much more energy -
I am six weeks post op and I haven't lost any weight in two weeks! Is this all I am going to loose? Am I eating too much?
-
Glad your cleared! Two weeks left! I am excited for you
-
I have mitral regurgitation also with heart palpitations and hypertension. Since my cardiologist already has run alot of tests, he just looked over my medical file, ran a EKG, and asked questions, then cleared me. I will tel u that I should have made a follow up appt to regulate my meds because I started getting very light headed after loosing about 40 lbs. and it takes forever to get into my cardiologist. I have to wait till feb 16th

Surgery - December 27th!

Has anyone had any issues with foods yet? -
I lost about 18lbs pre-op. I was only on a two week diet, but was able to supplement the first week with one real meal. I swear by premier protein. They are comparable nutritionally to bariatric advantage, but taste sooo much better. My surgeons office required that I purchase a huge bag of it, and about $200 worth of bariatric advantage vitamins which I cannot stand either
-
I could not stomach the bariatric advantage either! It's simply not edible! I switched to four shakes a day of premier protein pre-made shakes a day for my two week pre-op diet. I still drink one a day now for breakfast. They are the bomb digitty! I buy them at SAMs club for approx $1 a shake

I think my surgeon expected me to loose 60% of my excess weight, which would be 190. I am 5'7" and weighed 293. I am shooting for 180 myself. I don't think your goal is unattainable

The old evening-before-surgery freakout.....

Will be praying for you! You will do great -
I was sleeved on 12/27, and I am eating pretty much anything except meat. I get most of my protein and water in, but the eating is aggrivating. I feel sick a lot, and Imy stomach hurts after I eat
-
One more thing off my list!
ruaamy replied to Im done mooing.'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats! It will all be worth it -
I am three weeks out also, and I am doing good getting everything I need,but I am starving all the time. I am sure some of its mental, but if I don't eat every three hours, I start throthing and it drives me crazy. I am already eating solids, just not meat. I am afraid I am taking in too many calories

surgery @ 8 am tomorrow.

The 5th of January???

I use the microwave

I am on full liquids right now, so I still drink with my "meal", but I am not sure how I am going to handle it either, when I get to eat actual food. I have this phobia about things in my throat and take a sip after almost every bite! My Nut told me that i have to make sure I measure my food before I plate it, if I cannot abide by the guideline. I am going to try very hard to change my behavior and stick to protocol
-
I bought unjury unflavored but haven't tried it. I also bought unjury chicken soup and love it. The only issue is that you cannot make it too hot because it will turn into slop and the texture is horrible. I am still getting the majority of my protein through premiere protein pre made shakes. Each one has 30 grams and they are delicious.
