    I've been off coffee (and caffeine in general) since about a week before my surgery. But now I'm going back to work. I start work at 430AM. I never really got a clear understanding of the role of coffee and other types of caffeine post-Sleeve. Any thoughts?

    As for the phone app, you have to try My Fitness Pal, it's been a life saver.

    Calories post op?

    menjaz replied to hopeful2loose2014's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was about the same at first, too. I was worried that I wasn't eating enough. Now I'm eating more, and am worried that I'm eating too much...go figure!

    I have tried that, and it does help, thanks.

    Thank you all for your suggestions. I'm inspired to try new ideas.

    Thank you ALL for your feed back. It's soooo nice to know I'm not in this alone!

    I have found My Fitness Pal to be an invaluable tool. The phone app is a bit different from the Internet version. I found that I am able to personalize my needs more on the internet version.

    Other: My sister and I go out a lot: We started sharing something like an omelet. She gets half plus the bread and potatoes. On Easter Sunday, my family went out. I shared with my grand daughter. I do hate wasting money on a whole meal. My eating out bills are much, much lower now.

    This is a great article. I've been having a terrible time getting my liquids in. The article gives great information.

    Enough calories?

    menjaz replied to proudmama1319's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions

    The first couple of weeks I was not hungry at all....I loved it! Now I do find that I am a lot hungrier. I think about food more. One day at a time.

    Giving Up your favorite foods

    menjaz replied to TatorTot's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions

    My biggest fear is that I am going to stretch out my stomach. I don't want to go back to my old way of eating. I don't miss any specific food. I miss eating big meals.

    Hardest thing for you?

    menjaz replied to snowkitten's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I thought the hardest thing was going to be giving up coffee. Surprisingly, I don't miss it, so far. What I miss is having a big, satisfying meal. I'm still going through mental withdrawal.

    I'm thinking that people will probably assume that I'm lying if I make something up. I guess people are going to talk about you no matter what. I'm working on NOT Caring what others say.

    Awakening / Fear of Being Seen

    menjaz replied to HumanMerelyBeing's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    OMG..I thought I was the only invisible over-weight (fat) person. When ever I walk around with my sister (and best friend), everyone makes eye contact with her and ignores me. It always makes me feel so ugly. Even worse...people always think I'm my sister's mother! She's only 4 years younger than me. This is one of my driving forces for my weight loss. I want people to think I'm the younger sister!

    I've been losing my hair. (Not my gray's though-they're doing fine!)
  16. menjaz
    That's so interesting! I've been waking up around 3 every morning too, feeling very hungry. A few times I got up and had some fruit, which helped.

    ice cream....big mistake

    menjaz replied to justforme2014's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    The same thing happened to me! I'm kind of glad...won't be tempted again, very soon!

    Regarding the Isopure: All the ones I tasted had a weird after-taste: Except the Apple Melon. It is really good. Not as sweet as most. They are expensive, but if you don't like the thick shakes, I'd try it.

    I was wondering how profiles change from 'Newbie'.

    Newbie to Novice to Expert

    menjaz replied to menjaz's topic in Website Assistance & Suggestions

    Thanks!

    Have your tried the Isopure clear protein drinks? I really like the Apple Melon flavor.

    (Yes, I'm a newbie!) I am almost 8 weeks post op. I lost about 25lbs pre op, and am now down 57lbs. (Starting at 299.) I'm just curious about other newbies' early weight loss stories.

    Hello, I'm new to this site. I am excited to have some online support. I'm 7 weeks out. About how many calories should I be eating daily?
  24. menjaz

    Seriously ?

    menjaz replied to Domika03's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I do fine all day, then in the evening, when I'm relaxing, I get the munchies. My solution (so far) is that I save a few calories for the end of the day. And have a heathy, pre-planned snack.

    My drain was taken out the day after my surgery. Right before I was discharged.
