I go through edamame like nobody's business.

June sleevers, what are you eating?
getlownurse replied to getlownurse's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I eat edamame a lot because soybeans have tons of protein and I love salt. Shredded pork with black beans or refried beans. Chicken or steak tacos. I have a lemon pepper bumblebee tuna can for lunch a lot, it's 18 grams of protein and justtheright amount of food. Sometimes I put tortilla chips on a ceramic plate and out cheese, jalapeños, and steak or chicken strips on top and heat into the oven for a few minutes. Then dip it in some guacamole or sour cream. Can't eat a bunch but it tastes amazing. Can't think of much else. I'm having serious trouble getting fluids in. Haaaate the way water goes down, even when flavored with lemon or crystal light or even Koop aid packets. Unfortunately, I only like sugary coffees and teas. I'd really love some fluid advice. -

Surgeon YES! Coordinator NO!
getlownurse replied to 2btrim's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I didn't go with one doctor solely because the coordinator was unprofessional. That's not an answer to op's question, but is relatable. -

What foods do you no longer like?
getlownurse replied to anglicanchic85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Salmon steaks. I still like salmon cakes/patties, but salmon fillets aren't doing a thing for me. -

Dr. Lopez, Tijuana August 6, 2013
getlownurse replied to mscands's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
No food needed. Laxative- the paperwork says any brand. Idk about Canada, but in the US, you just go to the aisle in the store with laxativs and pick one. You will have no issues with your flight. You take the laxative three days before surgery. You fly the day before. You will not poop yourself. -
Dr. Alejandro López Ortega or Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela ?
getlownurse replied to sugarpop's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Mscands, you're to take the laxative three days before. Not the day prior. You should have no issues with the flight. -
Anyone else hate the protein shakes?
getlownurse replied to reenalee's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I don't do the shakes. Hate them. Did one or two but that's it. I try to eat all protein. Tuna, chicken, turkey, beef, eggs. -
I'm a month and two days out. Went diving yesterday. Had no problems, but we stayed at about 15 feet most of the time. I did go down in a 30 foot cavern for 5 minutes or so. Had a tad bit of dizziness coming up, but that happened to me several times before. I'm thinking it's more of a diabetes thing. Good to see other divers here. Out of curiosity, where are y'all located? I'm Florida, we have some amazing springs and locations to dive.

Huge difference new mommy! You look amazing.

I didn't follow my pre op diet at all. I also had a harder first few days after surgery than I thought I would. I'm not saying those two are at all related, just throwing it out there. I'm just words on the Internet though. Keep trucking.

What are your long term fitness goals
getlownurse replied to Fiddleman's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Short term- join a boxing gym. Long term- be super crazy fit like the hardcore boxing chicks. Those defined arm muscles, the endurance, the sweat. - also want to kiteboard a ton more but this is contingent on moving to the beach (I'm an hour and a half drive away now) -

The gladiator protein powder from smoothie king
getlownurse replied to EllaJo's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Gladiator is the only protein drink I can stomach. I like it. I have them out strawberry and kiwi in. It's expensive though, like $5 a pop.
