I'm not sure where you are in your diet, but Greek yogurt is good as well as cottage cheese and vegetables and fruit.

Surgery tomorrow, very scared.
Wendyfm replied to tfarr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a single parent with an Autistic child.I made a will out stipulating who would have custody of my kiddo. I found my life insurance policy and wrote out a living will. Then I felt better and less panicky. -
I was using miralax, which works well,but didn't like the graininess . Now I eat three prunes every morning and that seems to help.

It was about a week before I drove. I just felt too spacey before then.

Wendyfm replied to utahgirll's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I feel at times like I am on an emotional roller coaster,however I was prepared for this. I know that if I am in a funk today, that I should feel better tomorrow. I also eat carbs, not a lot,but some. They're part of the diet that I follow. -

Boopgwee. I have been losing an average of 5-8 pounds, but I'm a pretty slow loser. I've lost 42 pounds in not quite 5 months. -
Bariatricpal scared me shitless
Wendyfm replied to elpasovet's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Well, I had nausea and vomiting in the hospital,had to stay an extra day,plus I'm losing my hair. I got over the throwing up in a day and got a pixie cut for my hair. This surgery is worth it. I've lost over seventy pounds,can move around so much better and am off my blood pressure medication . I would do it again in a heartbeat. -

I've lost head hair. So I cropped it,and that made my hair look thicker. I haven't noticed if I've lost pubic hair, or not. It didn't seem to affect my excess facial hair any????.

I was very motivated over the summer and was walking for 40 minutes a day.7 days a week. I'm down to four days a week of step aerobics. Thirty minutes at a time. You just have to make your self.

You are definitely not too old. I had the sleeve in July at 52 and immediately had health benefits, like no more blood pressure medication.asthma Ned's, and am no longer pre diabetic. I am alittle baggier and wrinkled than I want to be, but it's a good trade off.

I have one slice of vegetarian pizza once a week. -
Earrings,necklaces and make-up. I had stopped wearing make-up along time ago and I couldnever fit into a regular necklace. I just started wearing make-up again and necklaces. In particular big chunky necklaces. I do like clothes,but am still shrinking so wearing a mix of old and new. I did do a happy dance when I bought size eighteen chinos. I started off at a 28/30 .

I haven't done this about food,yet,but I've been a non smoker for almost eight years and I dream about smoking! Especially since surgery this past summer.

Is this correct? Standards for carbs and proteins as per dietitian....
Wendyfm replied to natalie_christin's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was told to eat between 1,000 and 1,200 calories a day. No less than 60 grams of protein. No less than60 grams of carbs and no more than 150 grams of carbs and between 48 to 64 oz of canine free liquid a day. I usually eat around 1,000 calories. I notice if I go below 800 calories I stop losing weight. -
When You Realize You Really Are Changing...

I feel alittle self centered as I like looking at my face in mirrors. I still have a hard time believing that it is me. -
Calorie Intake & Stalls
Wendyfm replied to RozzieJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I stalled early on and then spent a month losing .5 pounds a week. I finally talked to my nurse practitioner and she said I was eating too few calories. I was eating 500 -800, when I increased my intake to around 1,000 I started losing again. I'm eating around 1,000 now and losing between one to two pounds a week. Not a lot,but slow and steady. I've now lost 40 pounds since surgery in July and seventy since last March. -
Goals During the Holiday Season
Wendyfm replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
It's just me and my two sons fr Christmas,so I won't have huge quanities of food on hand anyway. I will probably have a taste of pumpkin pie and alittle of everything. I'm pretty careful about sticking to my limit,especially after an episode of vomiting a few weeks ago,so not too worried.
