Wow, congrats!

Very true...I don't care much for the sodas it's just the Water that I love. Like Pellegrino. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I love pellegrino and usually wait for it to lose the fizz...makes me sad but I still think about enjoying the flavor. I actually just asked in another thread if it was ok to drink with the fizz. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Speaking of carbonated drinks. I love love love seltzer Water, Walmart sells zero everything carbonated water and I would love to drink. Is that a no no as well? Pellegrino calls my name whenever I go to the Italian market. Any advice? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Everyone! So far all is good, my date was 10/24. However, the doc said my Protein levels and b complex is severely low. I have to drink more Protein shakes a day. Other than that I do struggle with walking. I don't walk as much as I should. Yesterday was the first time I went out and actually walked for longer than 5 min. I did about a mile...it felt great but I didn't sweat 1 bit and was wondering was I doing the right thing? I start the gym today as well. In regards to eating, I just want to be able to find a menu or even a plan that I can follow. I want more variety. I get tired of the same thing fast and just don't want to reach that point. Any suggestions? Would love to hear from you all! HW 354 SW 336 CW 293 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Like a tablespoon of guac? I'm afraid I may already know the answer but thought I should ask. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks so much. A lot of the suggestions here have been great. I tried it with chicken last night and it was great. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Um yeah. I've heard of cravings. My opinion ? Get over it. You (globally speaking) were overweight, had surgery and are supposedly trying to get better. Why TF anyone is going to blow it is beyond me- and they should have been flagged as not ready for surgery by their psych eval. I find it minblowingly STUPID that people ask about chips tacos etc early on or during weight loss. And even MORE idiotic that they don't have BASIC COMMON SENSE. So yes. I know what cravings are... And I also know that I can run a 15k and wear a size S dress and 6/8 skinny jeans 7.5 months out because I GAF about myself.

I have to travel for business the end of this month for a week. They asked if I had dietary restrictions so hopefully they will offer a few options for me. I too get hungry at around 3hrs. Is Genepro unflavored? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I have to travel for business the end of this month for a week.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate it. I don't take offense. I didn't say anything negative to anyone and welcome all feedback. Not looking validity at all just getting a good convo going to what's an alternative to things that we know we can't/could eat. Sort of like what folks have been saying about guac...some said yes to it and others said no for X reasons. That's the type of convo I hope to get from folks. It doesn't always work that way but my question could be someone else who is afraid to ask. This is a community to help everyone in some sort of way so all comments are welcome.

Great ideas, thank you for your suggestions. They sound delicious. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok folks, you all heard of cravings right? Sometimes things come to mind that you actually know are not what u are supposed to eat but it's a thought. I don't come here to get a reaction out of anyone, I come on here to get different points of views from those who have done it before me and/or are currently at my stage. Suggestions are always welcomed and alternatives. So for example one gentleman said not chips but try cheese squares. And for the record I can ask about French fries 3 weeks out but it doesn't mean I'm going for it...i look for what people are doing or have done to replace those cravings. I never said I was eating those things already. Thankfully, with the help of this tool (sleeve) and by the grace of my God I have lost 30lbs in just a little over 3 weeks by eating the right things and following my diet. So I do take my choices very seriously. Lastly @@LisaMergs I can laugh because I actually thought that starting your sentence with "not to be rude" was funny. I cannot control other people's emotion and how they react to whatever anyone posts. So if they chimed in that's their choice. The same affect follows with people looking at your post with how you started and would chime in just the same. These are open forums and it's part of it. The best thing in these places is to never take it personal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've so confused about the things I can eat. I'm 3 weeks and I can have regular textured Protein now. But struggle with in between meals etc. I have a list but I just feel like it's not detailed. Aside from that breakfast is very important to me. I see folks eat scrambled egg with a little cheese and turkey bacon but is that too much this early? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App If you are confused with the documentation your surgeon provided, it really is best to call the office and get clarification and examples for the stage you are in. Every plan seems to vary either a lot or a little. For example, I don't know what textured protein means. Thank you! I can eat chicken, turkey, shrimp just small bites and chewed well. The confusing part is just that it is not too detailed. I find myself asking them all the time if I can have this or the other. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
