8 Years Out--Success and Failure (not necessarily in that order!)
slowtogo replied to Dana in IN's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome. I can give you encouraging words. You can DO this! Can you talk to your old surgery group? Do the 5 day pouch test? Go back to pure liquids for two weeks then switch to Protein and veggies? What are you willing to do? -
Quiche works well for me. I also make a crustless one.

What day of the week was your surgery?
slowtogo replied to agirlofaith's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't imagine sitting in a chair for 8 hours a day a week after surgery. It was all I could do to sit up after 4 weeks for all day. The pain was not minimal and the fatigue was huge. -
Its pretty good. Dessert like.

What a good idea!!

Welcome tx!! Glad to have you!! -
Should i be concerned?

Please call your doc!, -
Don't lose heart...but do keep up with your protein, water, calories...and reduced carbs!! We can do this!, I feel like I am not losing any weight at all...but when I look at the big picture, I am 120 Lbs down so far.

Its my understanding that the body processes honey differently. If I remember correctly there is 6mg of sugar in it...

Black can be blood in the stool. Call your doc. -
Strictures sux...I had to get one fixed twice. Can you drink? Try hot decaf tea with a teaspoon of honey. (If you are super sugar sensitive it might make you dump) but honey does not affect me. It is an antibacterial, an antiinflamitory, (sp) and actually a third world treatment for gasteroenteritis....
-
Also...what is your water intake? When I don't get enough my body retains it.
-
Actually try increasing your calories. Just by 100. It often breaks a stale. And 800 should be your minimum.
-
Kiser, How are you doing calorie, Protein, and carb wise? And exercise....I find that I have to drop carbs, and increase exercise to break from a stall. I let my body stall for a few weeks as long as I am not gaining, as this is the time I lose inches and drop clothing sizes.

Welcome! We all have made the same decision for many different reasons. It is life changing. Lots of good people here.

Kmh- you really need to watch your diet. Too early for popcorn, carbs are a nono... Can you talk to your nut? Long term you need to let your pouch heal. Popcorn is ofren not recommended for the first year. -
Question about post op diet
slowtogo replied to kat77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Where did you have your surgery? Some carbs are actually necessary...supposedly they help brain function. The key is a balance. Fruits and veggies help to provide this. -
