Need help with meal plans
HHHappy replied to schoen2014's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I supplement with protein drinks. Post op I prefer the nectar like lemon tea that I add crystal light peach mango tea to. Also unjury strawberry sorbet mixed with water, then crystal light pomegranite/cherry bland. -
I couldn't tolerate anything cold in the hospital. Peppermint tea saved me! Take some teabags with you. unjury chicken Protein mixed with low sodium chicken broth was my other life saver.

Look at the bigger picture. If you lose 18 lbs every 34 days, in a little over 6 months you will have lost over 100 lbs. -

post- op food ideas?
HHHappy replied to Valerie R.'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Peppermint tea saved me right after surgery. I couldn't eat anything cold. Low sodium chicken broth with unjury chicken Protein powder. nectar lemon tea and fuzzy navel protein powders. Crystal light individual packets to mix with the nectars. -

Protein Shake Sickness
HHHappy replied to LosingWeightLiz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It would help to know what you've tried and don't like. I'm not as found of the Protein I was drinking before surgery. But I can drink unjury strawberry sorbet mixed with Water with a packet of crystal light pomegranate/cherry flavor. I also like Nectar's Lemon Tea with a crystal light packet of mango peach tea added. And the unjury chicken flavor mixed with broth has been wonderful, even though I'm not big on broths! -
I'm having no trouble with liquids either. But I've read that isn't abnormal with liquids. True test is denser food.

13 yr old getting sleeve. Need recommendations in Mexico
HHHappy replied to slcmommy5's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I can only imagine how hard it is for your daughter to face the weight battle at such an early age. There's a subsection of this forum dedicated to Self pay and Mexico. Look for that and read, read, read. Has you daughter been online reading the forums, too? I would suggest that as well. You may have already done that. -
50 lbs in 5 months. That will be 100 lbs in 10 months. I would say that is FANTASTIC!!!

I started right away, too

3 days post op
HHHappy replied to Sarah Waring2014's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sarah, your post op sounds like mine. I felt great after they took me off the morphine. I prepared for the worst though! -
What are you eating on liquids post op?
HHHappy replied to Zoumommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Low sodium chicken broth with unjury chicken and a splash of cream. Sometimes I add a few instant potato flakes. This is my go to Soup. Surprisingly, I like it more than creamy Soups. The Protein powder makes the creamy soup too thick. I also like greek yogurt with unjury strawberry sorbet. -
good job!

Stomach Burning ? Normal?
HHHappy replied to lapnicky's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
How long does it last? I'll have what I call a "wave" of burning for a few seconds and then it's over. I'm really not experiencing hunger but I do get my Protein in daily. -

Everyone is different, that's for sure. I'm retired but could have easily gone back to work after a week. -
Encouragement needed preop diet blues
HHHappy replied to Littlegirldreamer's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
About 3 days into my preop diet I wondered if I could make it. I so wanted to eat, eat, eat!!! But I stuck with it and the feeling went away. Now that I'm postop it's even easier. I think the preop makes you stronger!
