Do you HAVE to follow a low carb diet?
Newme17 replied to slimmingsteff's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No you don't. I won't be doing low carbs either. Hate counting anything as well. And I have my reservations about Keto too. I agree with everything you've posted in regards to it, I choose not to say much about it cause then you get a some folks jumping on board, almost as if you're wrong. You're not. Do what works for you. If a Keto isn't it (definitely not me) than that's okay too. -

Ah hon, in my experience with people who are in grief (no matter the circumstances) who bare all and talk about it, are those who find healing a whole lot quicker! You are AMAZING for doing this. You are not disgusting and there is no more shame. You are a beautifully created soul with a beautifully created body. Great job in taking care of it and congratulations for seeing your worth hon. You are priceless. 😊 -
Success stories, please.

I'm two weeks and one day post op...not quite the month. I don't weigh myself either; forget about numbers!! My clothes are fitting loser, I'm generally a positive happy person, I'm even more so now. I've been told that I just look good by friends who don't even know I had WLS. I follow my doc's orders and I listen to my body now. I don't have to sip my water/drinks anymore! I still can't take gulps, but I can drink nicely. I'm happy I did this and I don't regret it one bit! -
The National Women's Health Information Center lists these common causes of urinary tract infections in women: Wiping from back to front after a bowel movement. Having sex. Holding urine for too long. Being diabetic. Having a kidney stone or other factor that makes it difficult to urinate. Producing less estrogen, such as after menopause. Having recently had a catheter inserted

I would say if you haven't had any complications since, then you should be fine, but to stop drinking them until you're cleared by your doc or your plan calls for berries, etc. You might want to call your doc though. Just in case.

May 15th, 2017 Sleevers Check in Here!!!
Newme17 replied to Newme17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Good morning y'all! I got a good walk in this morning, a brisk 15 min walk. Took my 12 year old to her first track meet at the high school stadium which is basically right across the street from me. We had to walk all the way around though. Dropped her off and walked back home. Now I'm getting ready to go to work. I hope you all have a great day today. Be blessed. I'll check back in later! -

Yeah. I feel the same way. How? For now I'll just drink them in a shake at least once a day. But my nut wants me to have two bites of protein and one bite of veggie. I won't get very far with it, but I guess I should start trying it. Like you say, trial and error. -

And she's 12? Wow. It seems the age...my step daughter has always been thin, but now she's stick thin, long and lanky like. It's amazing what she can eat. Even before surgery she still ate more than me. Don't know where it all goes. lol -

Yeah, I thought I pulled a muscle or stitch. It hasn't interfered too much with walking though. So that's a plus. -

Ok. So I've developed this sharp nabbing pain on the right side of my belly. It hurts if I bend over, take a deep breath, cough, laugh, etc. I thought maybe I pulled the muscle where the incision is? Then I looked up the symptom from other Sleevers, seems like this pain pops up around 2 or 3 weeks, maybe later. Has something to do with the healing process. Might last a few days to a week. But the best thing is to rest and not strain it. My binder will be coming in handy these next few days. Anyone else with this? -

My kids will too. I swear they're all in a growing spurt at the same time. They ate all their food, shared with each other. That was two hours ago. Now they're eating again. Thankfully, kids ate free at Applebee's today, so we spent $17 for all 5 of us. I call that a win! -

So, I tried chicken! It was so good and yummy. We took our girls to eat out. I just figured I'd nibble on what they order. Nope, corn dog, fries, mac n cheese, mozzarella sticks....nevermind that. So I just asked for a grilled chicken breast with some cheese thrown on top. It was the best grilled chicken I've had in a long time. Very juicy, so that helped a lot. Of course I brought the rest home and threw it in the freezer for later. It was a nice addition to the limited foods I've been eating. Yay for chicken! -

We had a huge storm last night. It was so beautiful. My house was rumbling, lightning everywhere. Lasted for over an hour. Loved it! But, our neighboring fence is down. So, we have to talk with them to get it fixed fast, we've got two large dogs that we can't let out until that's done. Ive decided to just have a protein shake for breakfast this morning. I couldn't make anything cause the power was out. It finally came on just now (been out since 2am). We're due for more storms in an hour. Best part, I get to stay home in it. 😊 Lets remember this day always for the beautiful people who sacrificed their lives for our freedom . -

Yes ma'am! That happened to me last night when I had one bite too much of my shrimp. It'll go down eventually. I found that walking helps me. By the time I'm done with my walk, then I get to have a drink. It'll go away, but now you'll be listening to when you may need to stop before that one last bite. -

No I don't. Not yet. my stomach isn't able to hold the amount that I will be eating later. I had read no more than 3 oz of food. I don't know if that means 3 oz of protein and then some or 3 oz of food altogether. But I didn't get any amounts, my nut just wants me to focus on eating until I'm content. That's it.
