Trouble getting my protein in
Blondiee replied to Amanda121279's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At 9 days post op you need to focus on not becoming dehydrated. At this stage you won't be able to get in all of the protein recommended but, you'll get there eventually. -
I Want To See Before & After Pics! (Cont'd)
Blondiee replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Handsome fellow! Indeed! -
I have no regrets. No need to suffer in pain. Please ask your doctor for medication for the nausea so you can take your pain meds.

Well technically you asked 3 questions. Just joking...

Is it necessary to drink protein shakes?
Blondiee replied to Lisa00's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you can eat the recommended amount of Protein no, you don't have to drink the shakes. For what it's worth...I'm 3.5 months out and still have a shake every morning for breakfast; I can't get all of my protein from food. I too grew tired of the Premier Protein Shakes and have switched to Syntrax Cookies and Cream. -
Congratulations!

Thank you for writing out my thoughts.

Congratulations! -
Do you have reflux now? Never have? Gerd?
Blondiee replied to lylabelle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes. After surgery I was taking a PPI once a day and everything was fine. About a month ago I started having some issues with acid at night and my dose was increased to twice daily. That has helped tremendously and I haven't had any issues. If you're having problems with this call and/or email your doctor to see if this is a viable option. -
I know I can't clothes shop...so shoe shopping like crazy...but...
Blondiee replied to msjoy83's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I've gone down one shoe size. Oh...and I'm clothes shopping as well. I like to look/feel cute EVERYDAY and that's kinda of hard wearing ill fitting clothes. -
6 Months and 99 Pounds Lost w Pic
Blondiee replied to livvsmum's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You look great and soo much younger! Congratulations on your weight loss lady!! -
Uuuuhhhhmazing! Your radiant smile says it all.

If you're only 1.5 weeks out of surgery I'm guessing you're still on liquids. You'll feel the restriction when you move to solid foods. Also please remember that you stomach is still swollen and trying to heal from the trauma of surgery.

Where Are All The Short Vsg Girls?
Blondiee replied to sandygo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know this thread is old but what the heck... Height - 5'2 Highest weight - 293 Surgery weight - 285 Current weight - 229 That's a total of 64 pounds in 3 months ( 8 pounds lost pre-op)! I'll take it!! -
WOW!!! What a difference in your before and after picture. Congratulations!!!!!!
-
I am limiting my carb intake because that has been working for me. I'm focusing on getting my Protein in and avoiding "slider" foods. Like you said everybody has a different plan and once you have your surgery you'll see what works for you and your new tummy.

Great job and as others have said you look wonderful! -
You look great and I can really see the difference!! I really LOVE before and after pictures...thanks for sharing.

You have to do what is right for you. Everyone is not going to support you or agree with your decisions, not just with WLS but with life in general. You be your biggest cheerleader and supporter. Oh...and the fine people here offer support daily.

Eating at restaurants/ Fast food places
Blondiee replied to LynRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Chipotle: A side of chicken with a scoop of guacamole. Woodranch: Blackened salmon with a side of broccoli...off the kids menu. Any other place I might dine out at: Chicken/fish and veggies. I'm keeping it simple for now because that's what works for me. -
