Yes, that's what made my new NUT mouth drop to the floor. She also had me eating 112g of protein. My new NUT said to aim between 800-1000cals and 60-80grms of protein. Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

HW: 276 at the start of my 6mon req program SW: 244 CW: 199 HT: 5ft1 GW: 125-135 whatever looks good on me, lol My 1st pre-op diet was 2wks long. I had 2 shakes a day, broth w/very little egg noodles, sugar-free pudding and sugar-free pops. My 1st attempt at surgery failed. They couldn't get the tube down my throat. Blood started to come up, so they aborted the surgery. I was so depressed. Had to go for testing and started to eat my feelings. After not being able to eat for 2wks and know I have to do it all over again was terrible. I'm glad they stopped though, found out later they could've punctured a lung. Gained 9lbs back, but was able to lose it during my 2nd pre-op diet. My surgeon cut me a break since I had lost 30 lbs during my 6mon program and only made me do this pre-op diet for 1wk instead of 2. I had lost 28 lbs in the 1st 3mons. That's when my NUT gave me my plan. Before that, I was eating very little. I would have oatmeal with protein mixed in, shakes, yogurt w/protein mixed in, eggs. I kept a log of my weight from the time I started my program when I went back, I noticed the weight loss stopped after she gave me that plan. I didn't realize this until I was meeting with my new NUT. My new NUT asked what I had been eating when I told her she couldn't believe it. When I cut out bread, pasta, and rice I lost 8lbs in a week. Good luck on your journey and don't be afraid to question your doctors, they have a lot on their plate.

I had gastric sleeve almost a yr ago. I didn't lose any weight for 7 months! Ppl kept telling me to hang in there and stick with my program. It's better for the weight to come off slow they said. I call BS! And I was right. My NUT had me eating [emoji506] pasta and [emoji500] all brown of course. She had me eating 1500 cals a day which I thought was too high, but she was the Dr. I got a new NUT and she said to cut out all breads for at least the 1st year. So here I am 10 months out and starting all over. Once I cut out the breads, it was like I did a reset. I lost 16 lbs in the 6wks with my new NUT. Also you might be sabotaging yourself by not eating enough and working out too hard. I did the same thing. When the scale stopped moving I was at the gym for 3hrs straight feeling like I'm about to pass out. Did it 3xs a week and still nothing. Got depressed and started eating my feelings again. Therapy also helps. Hang in there and keep pushing. Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm so excited, a little nervous. Today is the start my pre-op diet today. This is my surgery center, lol. The bread is for my son. Is anyone else using the app Baritastic, it's a great app. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

Hey Heather, I'm checking back in. I went for tests and everything was fine. Was sleeved on 11-11-16. I fell off the program for thanksgiving and was beating myself up over it. But got back on track and started over. I had my follow up and lost only 6lbs since surgery. I'm assuming I gained weight from the fluids in the hospital because I wasn't able to weigh myself for like a week. It hurt to bend over. My top incision is still open, ewwwww and I go back to work tonight. How's everything going with you? Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

That all sounds great especially the clearer complexion, I cud use all the help I can get, lol. Just keep pushing, I read somewhere that the 1st 6mons is considered the honeymoon phase, where u can lose the most weight. So u have plenty of time. Glad to hear ur feeling great, have been seeing alot of ppl feeling terrible in my other group. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

Girl I did too, lol. They brought me cake, CAKE & eggs for Breakfast the next morning. My throat was so sore and I hadn't eating that whole day before. I was literally about to cry. The nurse came in and told me I could eat, just take it slow. Man, it hurt like hell going down but it tasted oh so good, lol. That night wen I got home I threw a pizza party and I ate a whole med triple cheese pizza in 2 days. My surgery ATTEMPT was on Monday, I went to see my surgeon on Thursday and the nurse was like you've gained 7 lbs. Wen my surgeon came in, he said Wat have u been eating? I said FOOOOOD!!!!!! Lol. But he did say that if I don't go too crazy that I can do the liquid diet for just 5 days and not 2wks, so that's good news. How have u been doing Heather? Oh and to check in on my 9/19 surgery babies, I click PARTICIPATED at the top. So far I've participated in 3 threads, so it's easy to find yall, lol Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

My nutritionist said the same thing, but they were on sale for $18.99 for a 18pk. U can't beat that. I told my nutritionist that I will MAKE myself like them. I don't believe in wasting money. So I bought things to add to them and there's plenty of recipes floating around online. But I already add coffee to the vanilla and chocolate shakes. I added PB2 to the chocolate shakes and I just bought a 4pk of banana shakes to try out. I will add pb2 to one. Then blend a chocolate shake with the banana shake with ice, try one as is and I'm not sure about the last one. But I also have pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and sum sugar free flavored syrups. So if my taste does change, I will be experimenting, lol. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

Sorry everyone, I haven't really been on here. I've been having a bout of depression since I wasn't able to have my sleeve done. It didn't help that I was off my meds for a week because it hurt to swallow. But I'm back on my meds and back on track with my dieting. I have my appt with the GI specialist next week, so I'm hoping whatever the reason they couldn't get the tube down is an easy fix. So I'm a 9/19 sleeve baby in spirit, lol.

Baritastic app, has a reminder for EVERYTHING, pills, Water, food and exercise. It also has a log for all of the above and connects to my fitbit. Also has a journal for daily logs, a weight and measurements tracker. The food log can scan bar codes and it will break down your food in carbs, Proteins, sugar and calories and let you know how much more you need of each. It even has a daily encouraging quote Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

I was thinking about just removing the app from my phone for a while. But I guess I will just have to get use to seeing food I can't eat.

Omg, sugar free jello is the worst and I just bought more before actually trying it. I tried one last night took awhile to get the whole cup down, smh. I had broccoli yesterday, which I'm allowed for this week and tonight I have broth and noodles, I work overnight.

Awwww sorry u got sick. Me and my family had "ours" Saturday. I'm the one that takes everyone out, so I told them this is it!!! Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

I'm trying to figure out this bathroom thing, lol. But yesterday I lost another 3lbs. I started lifting weights at work (overnight) like a wk before my pre-op, but I stopped the night before last because I was literally falling asleep as soon as I got to work. I think because we're taking in so few calories are bodies can't take as much. I wasn't even doing alot, but I was starving also. Had 3.5 cups of broccoli I ate in throughout the night. I will see if I stalled myself tonight before work. 11 days Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

I haven't weighed myself yet, will weigh tonight before work. But being at work all night is a struggle. I use to eat out of boredom. So I did find myself getting a Lil hungry, but I pushed thru. Drinking my vanilla shake with a Lil coffee added so I can go home and clear my closet. I just slept after work yesterday. Congrats on the 5 lbs Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App Hey Heather, I weighed myself before work and I'm 4lbs down but I was having trouble sleeping. Every time I started to dose off, I had to go to the freaking bathroom. As soon as I fell asleep, my alarm went off to pick my son up from school.
