It's hard. Im still in liquids and my uncle just had a BBQ with his amazing smoked ribs. It I just temporary and we will get through it. This could be a cool chance to expand the menu in the restaurant if you don't have many low carb high protein options (while giving you yummy things to have at work)!

If you have Comcast, they have a ton of exercise videos on demand for free.

Frustrated, Disappointed, Annoyed And Need To Complain
jenneliza replied to aleyampat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hate clothing shopping for that reason! Don't be discouraged - you know that you are losing pounds and inches. Soon you will be able to walk into any store and buy what you need! Good luck on the interview!! -
And no dumping? Have you found any yogurts that are lower in carbs? I miss yogurt so much!

Hang in there. The dizziness just could be meds and anesthesia but make sure your nurse knows about it. Happy for you! -
Anyone Have Bad Post Op Pain?
jenneliza replied to dstollery's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I thought my pain was abnormally high and something must be wrong. This was my 6th abdominal surgery so figured I knew what to expect. But I had 50mcg fentanyl in my pca and it wasn't doing much. Switching to oral pain meds really helped (oxycodone). The gas pain is wicked and took about a week to fully go away but it really does get better every day. Hang in there! -
it's not an overnight process. you have already lost 15 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks. that's impressive! i had my surgery on 7/10 and have lost 15 pounds as well. i've never lost weight that quickly doing atkins, medifast, or any other diet so i'm happy. just keep following your directions and it will come off!!! hang in there!

They recommended getting a word search puzzle. Put the fork/spoon down between bites and find a word or two, then take another bite... This could work with sodoku, angry birds, whatever.

i'm still on liquids but going to ask to be advanced sooner due to migraines. But just on what I know and have learned, even if you aren't full, you should still stop at 1/2 cup if you are that close to surgery. Your nutritionist may have some answers for you.

Full Story Or Cliff's Notes?

Welcome! This place is full of so many wonderfully supportive people! -
My dr said to have half a saltine and suck on it until it dissolves then clear liquids only for the rest of the day. Your dr might not agree to this though.

I just got the same thing today. I left a message for my dr. Hopefully he prescribes something bc this sucks!

That sounds yummy! Almond milk is so great! I try to limit my soy intake so this is a great alternative.

Very strict. But he has a great reputation and track record!

Wow congrats on that amazing weight loss over the past few months! You must feel great! Your metabolism may be re adjusting. If you are exercising, you way want to switch forms of exercise for awhile (ie instead of walking do Zumba or swim) but I'm sure you will start losing again soon. Just make sure your not cheating with carbs! Good luck you will do fine!

Anyone Ever Tried ... ?
jenneliza replied to americas_suiteheart's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did mine with water and banana and it was a great change! Also the pb boosted my protein and calories. I want to try a few days with extra protein and cals to try and boost my metabolism! Thanks for the recipe! -

Yay clear liquids! -
Just after I wrote this I started dumping and te only thing I had was a cup of decaf black tea with trivia. I didn't think you could dump from that stuff!

Walked 2 miles with the kids today on a beautiful trail. There are 20 miles of trail so will try a different stretch tomorrow. Can't wait to explore and be active! I'm thinking a sunrise trail walk is in order!

my surgeon is hardcore...liquids for 3 weeks then puree for 2-3 weeks. i'm sure it will be great!

Once We're Able To Eat Reg...heres A Protein Filled Breakfast!
jenneliza replied to shrinkingDEE's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)
Bought my ingredients today. I'm going to try to make and freeze a bunch so I can pop them in the toaster oven. Could probably even purée one of those -I'm gonna try! -
Well said as always! I am striving for this. I have chosen to walk on some nature trails in my town. We have turned it to a family thing and tonight my daughter brought a friend. I want to be daily motion to be easy and a part of our family fabric. I'm looking forward to incorporating more healthy choices as food is reintroduced again do I can be a better role model for my kids. Thanks for the motivation!
