Does anyone know why we dont sweat anymore? or it takes a long time to begin to sweat when working out ?
donaboss replied to OHHLALA's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omg I was thinking the same thing.. I worked out and not one sweat.. If I did the same workout before surgery I would look like I took a shower from sweat.. And I don't think it's the less weight because I only lost 19lbs since surgery. And no I am not complaining because I am loving it -

Phase 2 guilt. OmG am i doing this wrong?
donaboss posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Be been using my fitness pal and my own personal food journal to keep track of everything I eat. All I've been eating is yogurts, cottage cheese, SF pudding (not every day), mashed potatoes (not everyday) and watermelon. It never ends up being more than 480 calories a day and I walk every day during my lunch break for an hour and I go the gym and workout for another hour. I have no idea how many calories and carbs I should eat a day. Yesterday I had 489 calories, 8.5 fat, 72.4carbs and I am freaking out and I know this is from mashed potatoes and watermelon and finally 35.4 g of protein(I have trouble with this but I know it will get better soon) Today I had 455 calories, 5.7 fat, 51.9 carbs and 51g of Protein. Am I doing something wrong guys? I eat cottage cheese twice a day because each time is 16g of protein and only 4g of carbs and 90 calories.. I am so nervous about the carbs... I am trying so hard. The only reason why I like the mashed potatoes are because it's hot food and makes me feel normal and full like really full. I tried to have broth but I was still hungry.. Any suggestions? I am a very picky eater and I always hated cottage cheese but this one is whipped and I am able to tolerate it.. Ohh and I finally started to take my Vitamins everyday even though I hate them I still take them... -
Today is such a disappointment I am so sad that I can't stop my tears. Today I tried 4 different Proteins and I had to throw everything I made because I was disgusted ... I was always a very picky eater. I loved sweets that was my problem.... I am soooooo sad I was only able to get like 15g of Protein maybe it's even less.. I don't know what to do or what to get. I spend over 200$ on protein products and I did not like any of them at all!!! I can't believe I did this to myself I am probably never going to be the same!! Today was my first day taking Vitamins... I took one Multivitamin that I bought from my surgeons office and I almost threw up.. I will never take it again. I took the b12 under my tongue and it was ok not the best but not something I can't tolerate. I didn't even try the Calcium because it looked exactly like the multivitamin. Today was just sooooo horrible. I was disappointed and I literally forced myself but just couldn't. Then I cleaned my room thoroughly and did 2 loads of laundry. I had too because I am a freak clean. The problem? Well when I took a shower my scar by my chest was feeling like it's burning and I looked at it and it's kinda open it's not like the other ones. I took the shower anyways and went to the gym after. The gym was closing at 5 and I get there at 4:30 and I was so upset. Went to cvs to try and buy some other vitamins because I don't want to give up. I found some chewable calcium vitamins that are caramel and chocolate and I bought both since it was buy one get one free. I tried the caramel and I loved it. It tasted like candy and I chewed it really really well and it didn't upset my stomach. I hope I will like the chocolate. I also bought fruit burst multivitamin which I will take with my dinner. I hope I will like it. I know these are probably not approved by the surgeon but I do want to take something and I have to take these. I really don't know what to do about protein. The only think that had high protein which I liked was the Greek yogurt. Farina only had 2g. Uhg this is so frustrating and upsetting. I tried a Jello sugar free double chocolate pudding which I've been craving since day of surgery and now that I am allowed to have it, my tummy didn't like it so much .. Maybe I ate it to fast and I will give it another try. I also am having mashed potatoes for dinner and I hope I will like them. The supermarket have them now in 4oz cups and microwaveable. I might add some sour cream. I am working so hard to lose weight and eat right. But I think I am going to have a hard time because I am a really really picky eater that it's unbelievable. Today was just a really bad day. I know everyone says it will get better but when?

I told my co worker which she is my biggest supporter. She's always searching new protein food I can have. I work for attorneys and the wife keeps calling me skinny lol nothing suspicious though

Phase 2 guilt. OmG am i doing this wrong?
donaboss replied to donaboss's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't drink any kind of juices... Just water... I eat a sugar free candy daily just to keep my sugar normal but that's it.. Size surgery I did not like any of the juices. I love water and I can drink a lot at once. So no clue what I'm doing wrong Uhg -

donaboss replied to donaboss's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No I've been stalling the past 2 weeks. I do not like protein powder or anything that has to do with protein shakes.. I guess I will say good bye to the watermelon and potatoes.. Wahhhhh now I have to find some other food to eat haha -
Vitamins and protein :(
donaboss replied to donaboss's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omg you think so? That makes me feel so much better. I've been eating cottage cheese twice a day which equals 32g alone. Plus I have light and fight Greek yogurt which is 12g of protein each. I guess I'm not doing so bad -
I just added you guys donaboss

Vitamins and protein :(
donaboss replied to donaboss's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm feeling better. I never liked cottage cheese until yesterday..my amazing co-worker always searching new protein food for me. She tells me to get the whipped cottage cheese which is only 4g of carbs and 16g of protein for 4oz. I tried it last night and omg I was in love with it. Still I am not getting more than 30g of protein but that's all I can do for now. I am forcing myself to take the vitamins though. Of course my co-worker is on my ass and always reminding me haha... I don't know what I would do without her. I know she doesn't want me to get sick so she is always checking up on me -
I feel you... I've been on a stall for the past 10 days .. Monday will be 3 weeks and I decided not to weigh myself until next Saturday and I am really disappointed. I eat right and work out so don't get what the problem is

Time of month- at time of surgery
donaboss replied to loveelaura's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi.. I got my period literally 4 days before surgery and I was freaking out. Luckily mine don't last more than 5 days so day of surgery was my last day. They let me have my own undies and pad until I got to the surgery room and once I got there, they gave me their own huge pad lol. It wasn't bad at all. Worked out fine and thank god I didn't have any cramps. -
I went to the gym on my 8th day and only used the treadmill. Now I'm almost 3 weeks and my doc said I could use the bike and no more then 10lbs in weights
