I do prenatal gummies more vitamins

I eat my cereal with milk doesn't bother me but the serving size 3/4 cup with 1/2 cup of milk is more than plenty at this stage(i don't always finish it), I will also put it in my yogurt but goes soft quickly.

My NUT says 6 200 calorie meal/snack with at least 10 grams protein each I do Protein shake with coffee 2, babybell cheese, lean cusine, greek yogurt, small portion of dinner and then special K protein cereal at night. I will also change up and do some of the products from my doctors office at times or indulge at night instead of my cereal

Mix them with coffee much better!!!!!! if you like latte's and such .

Down 80 pounds since my 2 week pre op diet SD may 23rd, I have alot of hair so when it started falling out I wasn't worried, however I was tired of cleaning it up so I chopped it all off. From mid back to pixie cut. I really like the new do and really feel and look like a new person. It is still falling out but not as much hopefully with the frequent cutting it will slow down.

I was not on any antibiotics after surgery so I don't see that being a problem. As for the peel, I don't think I would risk it before surgery, thats a lot of shock to the system. But if you have a few days left before going home I would go for it. I am family practice, OB nurse so skin is not my forta but I did break out into a horrible rash about 2 weeks after my surgery that was miserable and painful. Not sure what it was from but the doc I work with thought it was from the tubing from surgery the way it went across my neck. Good luck

53 pounds is great, I have had alot of stalls myself but I no longer wt myself but every 2-3 weeks so each time Im down a few pounds. Some of us weight alot more so we had alot more to loose. Good luck and it will come off.

I am Offically out of the morbid Obese catagory just Obese at this point, BMI from 50 to 39 Surgery was May 23rd down 72 pounds

HW 342 started my 2 wk pre op SW 326 May 23rd Cw 287 Total of 55 pounds No hair loss yet, I am taking chewable prenatals vitamins instead of reg vitamins to help with hair loss and nail growth.

I found chicken easy at 6 weeks out. On the fly I do a grilled chicken wrap I eat the chicken and a little of the wrap. Over the weekend grabbed a kids chicken soft taco meal and was able to eat the whole taco after about 1/2 hour. I am 10 weeks out. Protein bars I like Luna protien and choc covered soy beans.

I am 7 weeks out and am on a regular diet. I took a vacation at 4 weeks out, I drank ALOT of milk, but I was able to eat eggs at breakfast or yogurt. Soup at resturants and I did try some shrimp and took lots of my own high protein food from my doctors office. My mother in law was concerned that I was going to get sick but I didn't have any problems. However bring your gas x just in case.

Fyi for the moms out there, post op was like 1st trimester. It literally reminded me of morning sickness, some nausea, tired and a little dizzy at times. But unlike the 1st trimester it didn't last for 6+ weeks, for me it was 4-5 days. So if you have more than one child you know how hard it is to be pregnant and take care of your kids. Same senario, Hopefully!

I have a 2 and 4 year old, My husband was home with me one day before he went back to work. I never had a wt restriction I was told I could lift my kids (they are 30 and 40 pounds) and drive when I could look over my shoulder. I had about 4 days that I was just tired and napped with them. Other than that didn't need pain meds or anything else. Life was back to normal other than I had to keep showing them my bo bo's so that they could kiss them better. I would say you would need help for maybe one week but to not pick them up for a month seems a little overboard. I have been lifting wts and excersicing since 2 weeks post op and picking up kids all along. Good luck

I have the same feeling, not a feeling of being full but a feeling like something is in my throat and chest. I have only vomited once (this was due to my Multi vitamin) besides right after surgery. I thought that taking my prilosec or nexium would help but it doesn't. But same thing once I am done eating it is gone. However when I know I need to eat something I get the same feeling. So basically I eat very little and try and eat several times a day. Good luck your not alone.

I was off 10 days but could have gone back after one week. I am on my feet all day (Nurse) and talking. Only issue was dry mouth and not getting in enough liquids in between patients.

I have never regretted this decision, I did 2nd guess myself before the surgery. But I came to a relization that you don't get to 340 pounds just because I had 2 babies. I have had what I think is a very easy recovery. The best part of this has been my lack of want for food. I eat because I have to not because I can or I feel like I am starving all the time. On my 2 week pre op diet I watched alot of supersize vs super skinny on youtube. This show really helped my deal with the amount of food that I was eating. I highly recommend it to anyone.

I bought food from my clinic which has alot of choices. So protein drinks and soups, mostly they wanted me to get in 2fluids for every protein drink. I didn't get alot in but at 2 weeks I could go to soft foods but I could also start eating protein chips from our clinic which are really good and crackers and such with tuna. That stage is 2-6 weeks. I am one month in and have added some other thinks to my diet. Tonight I had turkey meatballs and they went down well. Egg salad is another favorite. I read another person on here does a glass of skim milk in the am and pm and that has really helped me. Easiest thing for me to get down is a glass of milk and I started that around week 1. Good luck

High amount of protein with low amount of calories. The higher your protein and the lower your calories, the more wt you will loose. Also if you work out protein helps build musle which helps burn fat. So even though they are not the most tasty thing. They do help. Also I put coffee in mine to take away the sweetness. Its like putting alot of creamer in your coffee just healthier.

Just rode a waterslide over the weekend, was too afraid last time we went that I would look like shamu coming down and the splash that would follow, but down 35 pounds and feeling great!

wt myself today a few days from my official 1 month. I lost 12 pounds on my pre op and another 12 at my 2 week visit. I then didn't loose a thing for 10 days. Started loosing again another 5 pounds since sat. So overall in the past 6 weeks 29 pounds

Protein is good at about 60-70 a day and calories are 700-900 but I just started working out again so hoping this helps

almost a month out and over the weekend started having Good lunch meat (chicken) love my baby bell cheeses and Just had 7 pieces of shrimp but couldnt get the last one in. I do one 30 g protein drink a day in the morning and mix it with a 1/2 cup of coffee to make it less sweet can take me all morning to get it down.

Is your wt loss since surgery? I had mine 23rd and lost 16 pounds prior to and 12 since the surgery. I have been stalled the last week and am really discuraged. I read about the 3 week stall but I also read about all these people down 30 pounds in a month. I do not wt myself everyday or even weekly. I just really want to be less than 300 and that is driving me crazy.

3 weeks out and 1 chin gone. , Worst trying to get my fluids. I am a nurse and walk and talk alot so I often drink alot of water quickly. Can not do that anymore so I really have to concentrate on drinking.

I ate alot of it and mine had some mild cooked veg in it. I didn't drain it out I just chewed the veg to nothing. Good luck
