EarthyGoalie replied to EarthyGoalie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks! It's good sometimes to know that we're not alone. I def felt not only mad at my sleeve but so alone since everyone was so deep into their pizzas! -

Hang in there! -
I'm sorry to hear this, and I hope you quickly get out of starvation mode and drink drink drink! By the way, how did your doctor determine that your body was in starvation mode?

I had a homemade pizza, and it was delicious! 9grams of fat, 10grams of carbs, and 14grams of protein. Yum! -
I Want To See Before & After Pics!
EarthyGoalie replied to Christina760's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I did! It was wonderful! Although, I'm still shy about wearing anything that shows my scars around the pool. I just had to find something else to feel self conscious about. Ugh! Here comes those one pieces -

"Someone who is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 149 pounds has a BMI of 24, considered a healthy weight. Add a pound and the same person has a BMI of 25 and is considered overweight. At 170 pounds this person has a BMI of 40 and is considered obese." Huh?!!!! Lol I'm 5'5" and currently 170, and NO ONE is gonna tell me I'm obese right now! Hm!

*September Sleevers Check In*
EarthyGoalie replied to Roxiaa's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Truly, I've been getting an average of 40 grams. Somedays even 20 to 30. It really is hard. But one thing that always bumps it up is a premier Protein shake. Though I hate Protein shakes now. :-( Greek yogurt also, the fage plain has 18grams of protein and very low carbs. And I always add some fruits and/or sugar free fruity syrup to give it some taste. And I eat babybels as Snacks (light babybels give u 6gr of protein) -
I love mine too! :-) Congratulations on your success! So tell me, what is it like being a year and two months out? I'm 4 months out but still have 600-700 Cal maximum daily. How's your restriction?

Sleeved september 27th. Lost 70lbs since pre op. 55lbs since surgery. So far, I see a pattern of losing 2lbs a week for me. I'm not having enough Water or Protein though :-( -
What are you NOT doing (but supposed to)?
EarthyGoalie posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Apparently, I'm not supposed to chew gum (my doc didnt tell me that, but many others have said that) but I do. Every week. Maybe a couple of times a week. So far, I don't see any negative thing happening to me for that. Or at least, I don't "feel" any negative I should say. What are you supposed to do post op that you aren't doing (or vice versa), and how is it affecting you? -
Indeed! Congrats too!!!

170 today. Reached my goal!!!! :-) This brings me to a 70lbs lost since the start of this journey. :-)

Omg me too! Lol

Need a good iron supplement
EarthyGoalie replied to Mel1071's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take Fusion. I believe it is only with prescription but it does not have a taste (it's a capsule) and my doctor prescribed it to me. It's been sitting very well with me. -
You are too sweet :-) doing all this! It is AMAZING we lost 190 lbs as a group! 190 lbs that are no more. Sounds so wonderful! Congrats everyone!

1/3 of a banana, 1/3 cup of egg whites, 2tbsp of protein powder and voila! Blend them and cook as you would a pancake. This recipe made one big pancake for me, but I could only eat half.

This morning I made pancakes with protein powder, egg whites and banana. It turned out alright and I had 16 g of protein
