I'm a super newbie!
brokenangel84 replied to JaxonsMommy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you are welcome.. Like I said taste buds do change. I loved my protein powder before. Now I can't stand it. Taste isn't bad I'm just burnt out on it.. I drink other stuff now but I've been buying the pre made ones In 4 packs and a buy a bunch of different ones and flavors so I can try.. One day you may love it and next hate it.. You get sick of all of it really. But its totally worth it.. I'm fixing to buy some of the nector versions to see how I like that. Just can't decided between the lemon tea,caribanna cooler or lemonade. Good luck.. -

Buy samples of different kind of protein what you like before surgery you make not like after. Taste buds do change. Buy a lot of sugar free jello,pudding and get broth, soups cream style, and a lot of them.. Depending on the before surgery diet you may have to do clear liquids for a required amount of time.. Mine was 2 weeks. I was allowed cream soups, oatmeal, sugar free Popsicles,sugar free jello,pudding and broth.. And my protein shakes.. After surgery you will follow same diet for a little while.. Buy houseshoes if you don't already have some or thick socks feet will freeze.. A extra pilliow or two as well.. You will want one for your stomach to hold onto it when you cough,laugh or sneeze for about a 3weeks. N the car ride home.. You will feel every bump.. If you can start cutting soda and sugar out now. It makes it easier on you later.. -
My RNY Journey
brokenangel84 replied to BearerOfLight's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Make sure you are getting enough calorie or your body goes into starvation mode and you don't lose but gain.. You will have to push your self to eat what you can and drink the shakes but I promise its important to lose the weight. I'm one month out from mine. Dec 15 and I've lost 30 pounds. But it stalled out at 3 weeks bc I had cut back on calories. I actually gained 2 pounds. I upped my calories and 3 pounds came off to put me at my 30.. After talking with many people I learned what I just told you.. Eggs are my friends so are pickles.. And anything soft. Keep us updated. And good luck to you both.. -
Hey ladies, I finally lost some weight I had been in a stall for a week.. Not long but it seemed like it was a thousands weeks.. 3 pounds in a week.. I increased my calories to 800/1000.. 1000 was a good day if I did 3 shakes.. Yes I included them in calories bc they have em.. Any ways. I just wanted to share I'm 9 away from my first goal

Very welcome..

Being so over weight I never have energy to play with the kids. I can't run and chase them or we can't go to the park and I can't play with them.. So I decided that this would give me the tools I needed to lose the weight. Have energy to play with the girls.. Maybe suffer less pain..

Well for me personally I have tried to lose weight for ever. I got pregnant at 18 and after I had her I seemed to just keep gaining weight. By the time she has 3 I was at 200 pounds. Then it just keep coming. I worked out. Eat right. And nothing seemed to help.. When I meet my husband I weighed 250 And in 6 years I blowned up to 330. I've stayed at that weight for about a year.. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis and everyone says that if you weigh less it helps.. Honestly I don't know if it will or not but I wanted to do what ever I could to help with that and to make sure that I can play with my kids.

Salt I thought I was the only crazy one. I left water in the freezer to get like a slushy and it tasted salty husband brought me a cup of ice home one day from PDQ and it tasted like salt was dumped on it. -
I'm 3 weeks out Dec 15 was surgery date. I'm on soft food. First night was ruff got sick. I've gotten sick a few times since them from eating. Not sure if it didnt set right or was to heavy. But I chew really well until its mush. Get water in and protein had to play around with finding one I could handle after surgery my b4 one made me gag. Go figure. I crave all kinds of foods. I don't like lettuce or crab but I am craving both of those. I'm going to have crab cakes tomorrow for lunch. Well a few bites of one any ways.. All together since Nov to know I've lost 24.5 pounds.
