I am 10 days out and that is about what I get. There is no way to get that much in. I'm losing so it must be ok. I do try all day to sip sip sip! I just can't get it all in.

I am only 10 days out. I would kill for some refried beans, cheese, and ff sour cream. My nut said ok but the hospital nut said no. So I haven't. I am looking forward to Monday when I can have meat and cheese. If I can tolerate it!

one week post op in need of nutrition advice
hopingtolose2013 replied to miss_lalaaa's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I add the unijury unflavored to any soup or pudding I'm eating. 10 grams of protein for 1/2 a scoop and 21 for whole scoop. Its about $23 a can. U van also add decaf sugar free instant coffee like Suiss Mocha to a vanilla protein shake! Van also make sf pudding with shake instead od water....I like the banana cream! -

South Louisiana Sleevers?

Baton rouge! -
I think I only got it bc I am allergic to Loratab. The pharmacy had to get from another pharmacy to fill the order. We didnt think anything about it till we picked it up. We thought the dosing was crazy. I hate pain meds so I only took it a few times. It didn't even help with my headache or arm pain...just the soreness. I took kids tylenol and that helped more!

My dr. Sent me home with 180 doses of Demerol. I only took three doses! If u need something stronger...call your dr back!

I don't understand the post op 2 week diet
hopingtolose2013 replied to hopingtolose2013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I guess I'm so confused bc I was given two diets. One from the hospiyal program and one from my dr. My dr. Said ok to juicing...his nut also said ok to refried beans. However, I don't trust her. The hospital nut said no to all. I just wish I could understand how all that processed stuff was better for me than juiced fruit, eggs, and cooked well beans. I could take it better if I understood why all dr are different. I'm one that needs to rationalize it...and I can't rationalize being flushed of fluids bc I can only have processed soups, broth, and yogurt. I know this will end in one week!!! -

Absorbing the change: 2 weeks post op....The journey begins
hopingtolose2013 replied to daadelishopeful's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Lawd! I have always been obsessed with a scale. ..to the oz! I know I shouldn't but I weigh twice daily. It's been my way of life for twenty years! I.am.sick.obsessed! At least I own it! I'm too bruised to wear anything but big dresses! Hope that changes! My belly hit the purple swollen sore stage today! I feel better about food today. I am having trouble understanding the diet. I mean I don't get y u can eat cream soups and yogurt but not fresh juiced fruit or eggs. Makes no sense to me but I'm doin it. -

Absorbing the change: 2 weeks post op....The journey begins
hopingtolose2013 replied to daadelishopeful's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was just thinking this same thing! I'm only 3 days out and have no desire or room to eat food. However, my brain keeps saying how stupid this was and I could be eating fried fish right now. I am hoping this will go away. I know I needed to make a drastic change but I keep thinking I could of just done weight watchers again. Ehy didn't I have enough power to make it happen without surgery? Grieving my old way of life when I ate what I wanted. I know that is sick thinking but it is where I am right now. I also have lost 7.5 lbs...and I keep saying oh you'll gain it back. Do u really thimk you'll ever be a size 8? Why do I thinl this way? -
Acme for sure....chargrilled oysters a must! Must also do pat o brians...and get a picture!

I was sleeved on Monday. Seems like I've had someyhing different everday. In the hospital I was fine except for a major headache and jaw pain..and nausea. Once home my arm hurt like heck. All that is over and I thought I was on the upswing, but now my belly is so sore! Feeling like I will never be better. I know I will. I know its just a hopeless feeling. I just wish it was over. The plus side is that I've lost 7 lbs!

Tomorrow is the day for several of us!
hopingtolose2013 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
July 8th!! I can't believe it is here. We are cleaning and cleaning and cleaning the house for a sterile arrival back home! Trying to forget that ill be sleeved by now tomorrow! If I think abiut it too long I might cry. Scared and excited! I worry abiut my girls so much. I know the chances of me dying are slim but they are there. I know my chances of dying witjout the surgery are absolute. I almost died after having my eight year old. I developed congestive heart failure. The thought of her without a mommy was traumatic. My second daughter is adopted from China. I just love them so much and hate to put my life at risk. But in this case it is necessary. Much prayers for all going under tomorrow! -

Hahaha! I just hate coming home to a dirty house! Just want it perfect! I know I'm doing this to be better just a big step! Thanks dor the support! -
Just a thought: get a letter from your doctor stating ALL of the programs you have tried in your lifetime. State that he supervised you on the last attempt...or the nut..whichever one. Then you yourself type up exactly what you did during that time. You can find forms online. List the month, weight, weught loss or gain from prev. Month, bmi, height, diet goals, exercise goals, diet suggestions. And title it three minth diet progress. List all that you did! It might work!

hopingtolose2013 replied to LI Gemini NY's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Skinny people don't like to twist their bodies into the shape of a pretzel because their hips get sore. We shouldn't be ugly by stating that skinny people can and like to shape their bodies like pretzels. -

hopingtolose2013 replied to LI Gemini NY's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am hoping everyone is keeping it light hearted! We all know that skinny people have issues too. Lawd...I think the original poster meant this to be lighthearted. I know I did. No need to get preachy about how skinny people have issues too. No matter what someone says....if you have been or are a fat girl...you know you have made a skinny beotch comment. Just saying!
