How many ounces are you ACTUALLY eating?
libby43 replied to Afrikanaaa's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 10 months out and can only eat 3 to 4 oz. I still weigh all my food. -
Unjury makes the chicken flavor protein powder mix with warm milk and a little chicken broth taste so much better. This really help me a lot. Taste better than the plan broth or soup both.

This form really had me prepared for my surgery.... Can't say anything was a surprise to me. Keep reading and learn as much as possible from the vets on here. Good luck !

I had my first drink at 6 months out. I enjoy 5 calories cranberry with vodka . The calories are not to bad. Oh and enjoy crown reserve with water..

I was self paid and like frankiegirl researched everything. I had a nutritionist to use as needed but research and identify my relationship with food. I've done very well on my own. However everyone is different and someone might do better with a nutritionist to be held accountable but I rather research my food and figure thing out on my own. I've lost 103 lb in nine months and feel great. Good luck!!!

I do the 100 calories individual bags for portion control. Really try not to eat them but once a week, if I need more protein.

I still drink a protein shake and eat high protein food. The shakes are great to help what I'm lacking . I'm 8 months out

I was just thinking this today. I'm 8 months out and my stomach makes all kind of noise. My husband always telling me need to eat your hungry. Told him many time doesn't mean I need to eat or hungry. He finally stopped after realizing my stomach make noise while eat after eating. Think it's still angry at me for having 85% cut out. [emoji3]

I have a complete aversion to exercise--rant
libby43 replied to LEILE's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
exercise doesn't mean you must join the gym. A gym is not for everyone , Im one of those people. You need to change your way of thinking. What I have found works for me is walking on the beach . The smell of the salty Water and the waves moving is so relaxing. I also walk the bridge which has a incline and gives me a good work out. I have step on my deck that lead up to my pool , I use those for 30 minutes a day. I learn just being outdoors is the key for me. I also enjoy cutting the grass with a push lawnmower. Just be very creative ???? find what works for you and enjoy . You might enjoy jumping rope ,yoga skates or riding a bike. My husband just bought me a bike to ride. You can use things to exercise outdoors and do the same as being in the gym for hours. The key is moving and staying active. Find what makes you happy and you'll love to exercise . Ps you can always add weights with these types of exercise later to make them more of a challenge later on. -
I can eat all veggie except for lettuce at 7 months out. Don't eat my veggies with my protein just not enough room after protein, so for my snacks through out the day will eat veggie in order to get them in daily. All veggie must be cook or steam in order to eat without any problems. I still can't do raw veggie.
