They may just be spicy....your right just boil your own and add your own spices.

Do you have A FOOD scale? If not they are relatively cheap I have a digital on from Walmart it was maybe 20 bucks, a food scale and a food tracker are your friends!

@@Lovebuggie I hear you. I have great restriction but I weigh out my food @ 3oz because that's all I can eat and I will eat it Almost all but leave a bite or two, wait.....and then in 15 mins if I still feel hungry I will eat the last two bites...I never end up eating them but I could if I needed to. Now you Are farther ahead than me so measure out the oz you can have and try that!

When you're on the pre-op diet...

I got around 700 too. Don't worry about the lower numbers...worry about the high! -
Sick with surgery 6 days away!
Elode replied to kymmiej11's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep I agree with@@bobbyswife, drink some fluids, take some emergen-C and try to get some rest! You are probably run down from all the stress (which isn't helping you by the way ; )- ) If you think it's really going to turn into a cold get some Zicam! Good luck! -
I would think at your point you should be able to eat whatever you want..stick with the basics Protein first , wait your 30 mins before and after eating to drink,..ect. There are a lot of nice recipes online, Search for low carb that would be your best bet. Your 7 ish months out so your surgeon probably doesn't have a structured plan for you like they do in the very beginning...now you get to make all the right choices! ; )-

Need to lose 14pds to get VSG date
Elode replied to Slimsoon1988's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Drink lots of water...lots! If you retain water take a water pill! Eat high protein and low carb! Did I mention drink water???lol! -
Wait you said you have a peer to peer this Friday so you still have a chance right? You said your surgeon says this is normal to be denied the first time so there's still hope then right? It's only the 3rd of December so as of today you still have a full 4 weeks before the first....Am I missing something here? Are you pre-stressing if so stop that!
-
You will probably start losing better once you start eating real food. My number once recommendation (and I know you probably don't want to hear this) BUT....stay off that God forsaken scale!! Especially if it's making you feel bad! I don't weigh very often maybe once a week IF I even feel like it...I can tell in my clothes alone...are your clothes getting looser? Don't be a slave to a scale!
-
That's a hard one...I would find another surgeon too if this is really something you want to do. You could go ahead and try to lose some weight In the 7 months but just remember if your planning on using insurance to cover surgery and you lose to much they will more than likely Deny you if you fall anywhere short of the BMI they want you to have. Even if it's only by a few lbs!

Nutrition appointments...
Elode replied to carriesherdreams's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wouldn't call that "normal" but it sounds pretty easy. It sounds like they need to slow down and clue you in a little better with the details! Sometimes you have to make them. I know I wrote down on a piece of paper all my questions and took them in with me so when I talked with my DR I literally had a pen and checked each question off. So in a way I made him slow down to get all my answers....it's kinda their job! -
Ladies only pleasee
Elode replied to alyssadietrch's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Aww that stinks! No I didn't have any issues, business as usual but you may want to inform your DR. If your losing a lot of blood you may need so extra iron..ect I hope you get to feeling better soon! -
Yay! Congrats!
-
Of course you are! Congrats! Godspeed!

Congrats! See that's why I had a nice dose of sleeping med the night before lol! Good luck tomorrow! Sweet (sugar-free) dreams! ; )- -
My surgeon gave me a prescription for acid from day one so I don't know about that. I know I when I forgot one day last week I could feel the acid start so I took it and haven't missed since. You should ask your surgeon.
-
Are you taking your vitamins? Did your Dr give you a vitamin b-12 shot to help with energy?
