Yesterday I watched some of the YouTube videos...
shahada replied to jessiquoi's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
It is definitely overwhelming at times (it still is post op when I think about not having a full stomach), but it is the best choice I have made for myself. You'll be so grateful for this little tool Congrats for fall surgery! -

Need food suggestions!
shahada replied to alyssaajoan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the exact same problem post surgery - my solution was savory liquids: tomato soup, V8, broths, etc. I drank water only for my hydration. Try things in teeny little bits at different temperatures - that may help you handle the sweetness also. Good luck! -
My coffee restriction from day one has been 1 8oz portion a day. I didn't start drinking coffee again however until about 2 weeks ago (6 weeks post op), but only because I wasn't wanting it before then. I had forgotten how great of a morning hello coffee is!!

Not enough hours in a day
shahada replied to Krispiekreme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Honestly, as time goes on it's gotten easier for me to manage drinking/eating and spacing everything out. I've gotten comfortable with the foods I can eat that make me feel the best and drinking spaced out that prevents me throwing up said food. Be patient with yourself and the process and it'll happen -
4 months and 80lbs later
shahada replied to meharris07's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
WOW!!! Congrats! -
I didn't have near the drive to my clinic (only 4 hours round trip), but I completely understand the frustration. Every time something was rescheduled it was enough to make me want to cry because it was a whole day event. I hope you can get the surgery done within your needed window - stick with it if you can because in the end, the sleeve is totally worth it.

I use these rather frequently. They haven't given me any trouble - their carb count is around 22 or 23 so if/when I eat one, I'm careful with my carbs the rest of the day. They taste good however and I can only get through 1/2 of one at a time. Try one and see how it makes you feel!

I do follow the drinking rules, most especially no drinking 30 minutes after a meal. I still find I have time to drink Just make sure you have a water bottle with you at all times and remind yourself to sip.

When Does Fatigue & Weakness Go Away?
shahada replied to BDM's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 2 months out almost and I still feel really tired a lot of the time I'm hoping to feel better soon! -
Where are all my May Sleevers?
shahada replied to sandirufophoto's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I still throw up regularly and like you I believe it's because of the pace at which I'm eating. I'm still just trucking along ... almost 2 months out and 35 lbs down. Working really hard to be okay with the weight I've lost. Happy day May surgeries! -
Have you tried making your own? I make a chocolate peanut butter protein cookie for breakfast (I still like that flavor lol), but on pinterest, they have lots of protein granola bar ideas Most of them include dried fruits, protein powder, an egg or two, honey, and oats. I think Quest bars (at GNC) also make some fruit flavors. Those are super high protein and low carb for sure.

Whats your "full" signal?

I take a biiiiig breath, like I'm trying to settle my tummy. I've realized this is my signal for belly is full. -
Looking awesome!!! I too love this tool

I'm especially curious as to why to eat slowly. I find it very difficult to do. Knowing why will help me out. Thanks!
