I've lost paperwork ; any help?.
brennafaith posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So after my surgery my doctor gave me a few papers to go by ; I was doing real well, kinda started slacking just a little and now I'm trying to get back on my strict diet and can't find the papers to help. I had surgery Dec 27th, anyone happen to know what I should be eating now and how much ? I made an appt for Friday but was just wondering if anyone remembers -
Although I've lost 65lbs since December; my biggest fear is stretching it or failing; in the beginning I wasn't eating much; couldn't, had to force myself to eat or drink, now I eat normal& I can't help but feel disappointed; although it's Much less then I used to.. I'm afraid I'm failing and missing the signs of being full etc.. anyone else ?

I've been in the 230's for weeks. Barely eating much ; running the track etc. When will this stall break !? I'm starting to get really frustrated.. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Sleeved 12/27. I've lost about 35-40lbs. I'm not counting calories. Protein about 40-60, struggling with that as well& Water I'm struggling with pretty bad. Maybe 30.. do u think those two things ; protein and water intake; could make that big of a difference? I've never been much of a drinker ; like I'm not a Thirsty person so I'm struggling with those.

Hey guys my surgery date is Dec 27th. I was ordered to start my liquid diet the 13th , today is the 19th and I'm finally fully sticking with it. I had some issues in the beginning, where instead of one bowl of Soup a day; I would eat two a day etc. Not cheating bad but cheating is still cheating. I'm here to tell you after 2 / 3 days on it, it honestly does get so so so much easier. I'm doing great now on only two Protein shakes a day & one serving of soup. I looked for a discussion about PRE op diets everywhere on here it feels like and couldn't find one.. so I just wanna tell anyone who's reading this, you've got it! Fight your cravings through the first few days and I promise you it'll get easier. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

I'm on the full liquid diet now; I have been eating Soups, but I just realized my list said no Beans.. & I've been eating taco Soup. I'm terrified with every drink& every bite I'm going to mess up my sleeve / stretch it out.. Any advice on that ? I have my nutrition visit next Tuesday but I'm just curious as to what anyone thinks.. how much should I be eating ? Will me eating beans effect anything that much ?

I feel the same way!! I feel like I'm eating too much for me to only be 2 almost 3 weeks out Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App -
I drink about 2/3 Protein shakes a day; the boost kind; & then one serving a soup. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App 2/3 as in 2 or 3. Not 2/3rds. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Not just bites of beans.. I just mean in general , when I eat anything or drink anything. I'm not eating beans anymore since I just seen I'm supposed to avoid them rn.. strange thing is it doesn't hurt my stomach or bother me so that's what worries me. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App I didn't blend, no. Wouldnt that just make it chunkier? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

How often do yall weigh in? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

OK so most of yall weigh in the mornings and record your wieght. Maybe that's what I should start doing ; like once a week. Although right now with my stale it is frustrating Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

OK yall I was sleeved on the 27th and need any and all advice. How should I be eating ? Protein shake in morning - then what ? Exercises I should be doing ? I've hit my stale so I'm trying to maybe get some advice... I honestly don't even feel like I've been sleeved except the air bubbles when i drink stuff: but other then that i feel fine, which is sometimes frustrating.. sometimes a blessing. Anybody know of any good books about the surgery and after life that I could read? TIA. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

So I'm on full liquids ; which is Soups.. so how many bites does it take yall to get full on average ? I'm trying to tell if I'm full or if it's the gas pains / air bubbles. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Full liquid post Op by the way; not pre Op. But I have a few bites and I get a full or airbubble feeling. From reading yalls comments I'm gonna assume that's me being full. Lol dang that crazy Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App -

So between pre op diet / surgery / post op diet I've lost about 32lbs& I can't tell.. not even in my face. I can still wear the same pants.. Same shirts. Anybody else? I started out 270& now I'm 238.. Is me not drinking enough Water gonna make a difference in this? I'm trying to force myself to reach my water goals; Very hard since I was never much of a drinker anyways.. of anything. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App
