Since surgery date lost a ttl of 45 lbs in a month

Hello everyone I am happy with the results just a few facts I have been keeping my carbs less than 30, doing all i cld to follow and be good! So I unfortunately started at 385 2nd visit 360 follow up today at 344! Yay. My Doc told me today i can hv up to 100 carbs and for the calories dont worry about them for now. Continue to do the same thing I hv been. But before my surgery I had gotten to fear food. I felt fearful of food since carbs always blew me up and made me gain weight and I was so frusturated I felt like food was my enemy. According to Doc that was normal and I need to learn to hv a new look and understand the pouch has changed everything. So have any of you experienced this? And Honestly I was a little let down I wanted to lose more this visit, my doc was happy. Any thoughts wld be appreciate insight :-)

Thank you for your response that is amazing even the stars who do it publicly. And its such an amazing oppty that we hv been given. Those people who are going thru whatever crisis such as your co-worker. In order to eat like that you wld hv to eat like that for a while, To stretch your pouch is not easy. Of course if we were to lose 100 lbs thats dificult enough but we all know weight comes bk on faster than it comes off. Due to yrs of yoyo dieting I had lost 125 lbs by diet and exercise very hard work. Then i was injured bedbound for over a yr. Sorry im rambling. Anyway its me and you on my concern! Lol have a great day!

Oh really and how is your weightloss been if you dont mind me asking, how has your loss been sweetie. I know the more meat im eating now in meat is causing higher calories for now. Have a blessed day!

I am going 2morrow for my weigh in 1st in a month. Lil bit nervous. I hv really tried my best if anything i hv gone over that 10 or so grams. Before surgery if i ate Any carbs at all i wld just blow up. I had just saw Sugar free pudding had 14 grams, been eating those for awhile with no vlue. So i feel stupid i let that by me, and how much i hv lost. Do any of you guys and girls hover over 30 or more and still eat like we eat as far as tiny meals throughout the day with 60-80grams of protein. The rest of my diet is meat and lil bit if veges and popsicles! Any guidance wld be awesome!

Hello welcome and i too was in hospital for 3 dys as soon as u go #2? Lol they will probably let u go tomorrow. I was in hospital 3 dys since i had complications waking up. But post op 1 month 1 week all is well. Doing great dropping weight not sure how much, I go to see my surgeon 2 morrow and weigh in ! So you take it easy hope to see you soon on the boards. Hope you found a good shake that will be ur best friend for awhile. For me worst ones were choc EAS POWDER; vanilla Muscle milk.GNC GOLD STANDARD WHEY eye! Gross...Now i finally found the Pure Protein 100% whey protein, Vanilla cream mix it with Soymilk you hv alot of choices. Almond milk vanilla, plain tastes the same as milk, since we cant hv dairy this is awesome. I also started using 4-7 pieces of ice making consistency of smoothy, tricks the mnd into thinking ur eating something for real got me thru the liquids phase. I still drink 1-2 daily. 160 calories 6 carbs 25 grams protein you get your 60 grams quick! I mix mine now with choc soymilk and 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter mux with ice in blender reese cups! Lol

Forgot to remind you carbs metabolize as sugar! And sugar makes you hungrier also, with that being said i wld not make those a big part of the diet..I am hurt been living off snack oack sugar free vanilla pudding and choc. So they made them with 14: grams of carbs .how stupid is that! Since i am 30 carbs allowance daily half is not freaking pudding, i normally read the labels. I dont know how this one got past me...

1st let me say my doc told me to take this med i took in hospital for nausea, its called zofran or promethazine..this is the stuff that has enabled me to be able to eat. Now someone told me to try potatoes, but they hv carbs so thats not the way to go. I find the a soft scrambled egg, and u still since u never really prepd becuz of nausea u can still try sum soups again. Even i tolerated those roast beef deli thinly sliced and a chz stick was awesome for a couple weeks, then 1 morning i did not like it anymore! So are you taking nausea pills? Best wishes

Hello i had my surgery over a month ago and take omeprolazole 40 mgs 1 a day. Been having alot of trouble with indigestion acid reflux . I woke up just this morning with not to be gross but i had ate fish last night also, and i had acid in my throat choking when i swallowed it burned my throat so bad. I could not swallow for over 30 min. I called my doc he doubled my PPI 80mgs a day he said if its waking me up this shld stop. Correct me if im wrong a cold ir frozen drink makes it numb/maybe burn and hurt. You are newer out of ur procedure so hv u called md yet and hv u started pills? Best wishes Sheila!

Hello i know this may sound dumb considering i know that my tummy is the sz if a banana. But i am now free to open up my diet and having problems. Ok so when i was drinking shakes all day or one meal daily im good. When trying to eat 2 meals 1 shake im hungrier still eating mostly protein lil bit veges, but like last night i ate a ground turkey lettuce wrap. They are awesome but felt like i was still hongree, so i made a quickee 4 oz shake in blendar with choc soymilk. Tastes like a frosty! So a few min it started trying to come bk up, i took my aciphex and drank some water and i was fine. I think i want to stick with 2 shakes and a meal with snacks. Taking vitamins over the counter so does anyone think the bariatruc vitamins prevent cravings? Been dealing with that as well. I am learning how to read the signs but dont want to get malnourished either. Im full very fast get hongree quick and previous food not yet digested i guess is why i over eat without meaning too. So this is my 1st post good luck you guys. Thnx Sheila

Wow i need to find a way to get all the liquids in like you. You got it worked out girl, i do the puddings and jello both sugar free. And popsicles ! With a couple waters.. I need to chng it up

Hello Sherrie congrats i just had my 1 month anniversary on 24th of this month! I remember how i felt? Before and now the weight is melting away. I now have found a great shake mix , not sure where you are at. But i use protein plus i get it at grocery store or walmart; i use the chocilate soymilk since we cant have dairy, and it goes in blender with some ice 25 grams of protein. And now a teaspoon of peanut butter taste just like a reese cup. So hang in there we are here to help let me know if you need anything. Sheila!

Yes your right i tried that today and i am also having trouble getting all that water in they want! Thats crazy i know alot of you do it, but man today i get half that 60oz they told me i need. But thank you for your response. Sheila

Wow all of you are absolutely right! Today is a food day 2 protein shakes 1 8 oz- 1 4oz . Thank you so much for your kind responses i have tried other forums and nobody ever responds to me makes me even more depressed and anxious Lol! yes liannatx i did have it after lettuce wrap i was craving sweets. I will grab a small shake instead of indulging in whatever my husband is stuffing his face with. So i learned my lesson for real this time. God bless you

Hello i hv noticed that also i had my sleeve surgery 3-24-15 eating soft. But if i happen to do either eat ot drink too fast it does try to come bk up. I dont know if since our pouch can only take 2-3 oz? Maybe, If you are drinking and some of the food wasnt digested all the way and we put the liquid on top of it. I know for me i will eat or drink a shake and get reflux or rather it comes up in my throat. The doc gave me some med in hosp for nausea promethazine and i take it, sure works good. We are all still learning about our new bodies and how to best nourish ourselves. Just a thought Thnx Sheila
