Yes! Everyday! I usually have egg whites, turkey sausage and 1/4 of an avacado! I love them and they are a "superfood"!

help me please! I'm in need of advice or a distraction
Elode replied to 10/6/14's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I hope your not looking at food because if you are your just Going to make yourself crazy! My surgeon said from the beginning "you better find a new hobby because you are about to realize how much of your life revolved around food!" Boy was he right! So find yourself a new hobby to distract yourself....and not a cooking hobby lol! -

How great it would be to finally not feel hungry and to not have a life completely consumed with food!

There's no way for any of us to know if your damaging your sleeve. I don't know why you would want to go against your Drs orders BUT I guess maybe you will find out at you Appointment. Just be honest with your DR and tell him/Her what your doing. Maybe they will say it's ok if you are handling it? Who knows. Good luck with that! Oh and PS just because it doesn't "hurt" doesn't mean your not hurting yourself. They have certain restrictions for a reason, not everything is felt. : ) -
I was at SAMS last night with my husband and the bakery "cinnamon roll" smell made me want to vomit! Some food just disgust me to look at, like the carb loaded sugary fattening stuff! That may just me my new brain talking but that smell ewww!

Sleeve date Dec 15. Started my preop diet 5 days ago. I can eat a piece of shoe leather right now, I am so hungry. Help!
Elode replied to muffin70043's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I say stick with your pre-op diet! I know it's hard I was on the same one for two full weeks. It is to shrink your liver AND some surgeons also want to see how compliant you will be. Surgery is pretty serious but if you are thinking you don't want to do because of the pre-op diet maybe you should rethink your decision, Make sure your spacing your sakes out throughout the day and drinking lots of fluids. Eat some Sf Popsicles or jello. Try not to focus on food so much. Good luck! -
New here, having sleeve Dec 17 and would love someone to talk too????
Elode replied to Cowgirl25's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, I had the sleeve done 11/3 if you have any particular questions feel free to ask. -
So full of post-op questions :) Is it normal not to reach your protein goals 5 days post op?
Elode replied to tfarr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes it's normal just keep at it you will get there in time. -
Hard time sleeping...
Elode replied to Buttercupbrown's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You probably need a prescription anti-acid, I would ask your DR for one! -
Congratulations!

Almost 1 week post op
Elode replied to natedinsmoor2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yay! -
Roasted chickpeas would be better! And you can season them however you please. There are recipes online.

Rainbow light protein energizer is both soy and dairy free...you should look it up and see what you think. Disclaimer: I have no clue what it taste like I just looked it up for you.

@@Bobby46 Oh! No, you don't want a "peep" especially if he's being a flirt while with other women! Sounds like trouble! I bet you can find a nice man (if that's what you want)!
-
@@EllieMae Yep! Check with yours!
-
@@dustinwhall Well dang it! Hang in there!
-
Congratulations! My advice would be to prepare by learning/researching all you can, also don't base your journey on anyone else's we are all different! Good luck!

How long were you out of work post-op?
Elode replied to RedSalamander's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No complications and 1 week. -

I drink it too, just green tea and decaf. It counts!

I can tell because my belly feels really full after a few bites, like the feeling after thanksgiving diner.
