Too much Constipation
cuteNATL replied to bubblegirl96's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you have a 7 inch or 9 inch squatty potty??? -
Does anyone else ever experience hiccups or small belches after they eat or drink????
-
I have no idea what my full switch is so maybe that's it. I haven't had the over full feeling yet but I'm only 6 weeks post op Lololol... Gotta looooooong way to go..
-
I also use GENEPRO protein. It's odorless and tasteless and you can put it in almost anything. I ordered it off Amazon. The nutrition information says that one scoop is 30 grams of protein because of the way the body absorbs it.... But I only count it as 15 grams Also I have found that for me, putting the premier Protein Shakes over ice helps me drink it better because it's not as thick when some of the ice melts.

I'm almost 6 weeks post op and if I drink ONE MORE Premier Protein drink, I swear I will scream... How else do you all get protein in other than using Genepro?

I don't see a way to delete a thread. The only thing you can do is edit it by pressing on the text and tapping on the pencil... -
Is it still one bite every 5 minutes?
cuteNATL replied to kayelly's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I take 3-5 minutes between bites and I'm in the advanced soft food phase. I see how it feels before eating more. Takes me about 30 minutes to eat about 6-8 tablespoons. For me, when I eat too fast, I start hiccupping and belching Lolololol -
I'm almost 5 weeks post op and I'm starting to crave my favorite place... CHIPOTLE. I really just want a chicken burrito bowl with double beans and green salsa. I'm sooooooo tired of these Premier Protein drinks and eggs and chocolate milk... I need other options for food and need to fight my cravings! Help!

Anyone take chewable IRON that actually tastes good?

I literally take the Flintstones With Iron tablets... Regular iron tablets make me sooooo sick and are hard on my stomach... -
How Did You Handle Food Cravings?
cuteNATL replied to cuteNATL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's weird... Im in the last stage of advanced soft foods, but still can have ground, chopped, and diced lean meats and poultry, soft cooked non fibrous vegetables, crackers, and beans, etc as long as I chew chew chew.....so I'm kinda confused as what's different between the stage I'm in now and actual solid foods... Oh and I totally expect one bowl to last me like 5-6 meals... Oh the joys of our sleeves! ???? ???? ???? ???? -

cuteNATL replied to itsallido's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

How much protein do you get in a day?
cuteNATL posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This question is more for people who are less than 4 months out, but all answers are welcome.... How much protein are you able to get in, in a day???? -
Protein protein protein!
cuteNATL replied to kjkashmaniac's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got tried of Premier Protein really quick... No now I try to drink two cups of Fairlife Fat Free milk with sugar free chorale mixed in... And a scoop of GENEPRO Protein mixed in as well... It's odorless and tasteless. You can also put it in yogurt.. -
A good stool softener and benefiber.... I promise you that the constipation is REAL for us, especially in the beginning...
-
What types of foods and drink do you pit Genepro in? Ive been trying to put it in cold fair life sugar free chocolate milk and it doesn't dissolve all that well.....

cuteNATL replied to cuteNATL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OMG thamks guys for the advice.... I will switch up how I mix it! -

Did anyone cheat on preop
cuteNATL replied to Tboddy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was supposed to do 7 days of full liquids before my surgery... Ummmmm, I only did 3 1/2 days Lolololol.. But my surgery went well thank goodness. It probably helped that I lost about 15-20 pounds before surgery too... -
Everyone is different. Like 3 days after surgery, I could eat like 6p ounces of "snow ice" in one sitting in like an hour... But for some reason, couldn't drink water straight like that. Trust me.. Your pouch is working because if not you could eat a whole plate of food... And I KNOW you can't do that!

Sleeved and healing well
cuteNATL replied to TanishaP's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I totally skipped pureeing anything and just did soft mushy food... Lightly scrambled eggs, yogurt, grits, grilled tilapia, cheese, tuna with light mayo, sliced peaches... I just chew chew and chew.. I cannot drink food. It seems a lot of people on here did the same thing... Lolololol -
What all do you all put your gene pro in??

What were your worst symptoms post-op?
cuteNATL replied to KaiserKid's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Meeb I felt like I was okay to go back to work after 2 weeks. I have a sit down job. However, I took 6 weeks off so that I could focus on getting the liquids and Protein in and go through the different food progressions stages properly. It seems like it would be hard to do that AND focus at work... -
The BEST Calcium Citrate chewable is below. It literally taste like a red Starburst! I got mine on Amazon!
-
Gene Pro is really good... Tasteless and odorless, at least to me. Check out the reviews on Amazon @@genn
