Caffeine - does your doc allow it ?
Omieliz replied to ambernoel's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My team (Kaiser So Cal) says never. It has been 4 months since surgery, but 6 months since I've had real coffee. It kept me regular. Man, do I miss it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Today, I officially hit onderland! I will say that I feel a little bit like a cheat because while I was close, I had abdominal wall reconstruction surgery last week on 1/3/17. I was in the hospital for 5 days and really couldn't eat more than liquids for almost a week. Although I'm back to solids, I'm at about a 1/4 cup right now. I'm trying to hit my Protein and Water goals daily, but it's a struggle with this newest surgery. Everything makes me sick :-/ HW 310 SW 278.4.

I take Miralax and stool softeners daily. Have been to the ER three times since surgery with this problem. All three times, thought I had a bowel obstruction - I did not. The last time was just a couple of weeks ago. I was told then, I will probably have to take Miralax and stool softeners for life. Oh, well. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Haha! Love it! How has it played into your weight loss? Do you think it helps or makes your weight loss slower? That's just my fear. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App I eat it daily! I love cheese. I do eat in moderation and I go for the really tasty cheeses so I can enjoy the taste, with just a bite :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

4 month Surgiversary - update
Omieliz replied to Omieliz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've stayed on the plan set by my surgeon and nutritionist. As far as meals, I eat high Protein and keep my carbs under 20 grams a day - sugars under 5 grams. I try to keep the fat down, too. I weigh or measure everything and keep my cals below 800. No sugar, no flour, no starches (except Beans - occasionally), no refined carbs. My carbs are from veggies. I also make sure I walk at least 5 miles a day and I'm starting the couch to 5k program. I'm starting weight training soon, but I'm having surgery again on 1/3/17 (if you look really closely on the right side of my photo, you can actually see my huge hernia bulging out ;-/). I'm not allowed to lift yet, but as soon as I get the green light, I'm ready to start weight training. Lastly, I track every nibble, lick, and bite to make sure I'm staying in my guidelines :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
