A diet Is any way of eating... A good choice of eating or bad... a healthy way or not .... it's still a diet Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah I'd have fish too.. snapper maybe( not sure what u guys call it) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Do you snack at all between meals, usually? I can't wait 4 hour between meals, I get dizzy. How do you do it, any smoothies, or otherwise between? Thanks! I don't snack in the morning at all. I don't feel hungry and have to make myself eat Breakfast. BUT When the 4 hours ( sometimes 3.5 or 5hrs) is up I know my a hollow feeling I get in my throat. Don't get me wrong I feel I could eat cause I want to. I haven't lost that yet or ever lol.. In the arvo it's harder. I eat my "snack" or small meal at around 2 pm and by 4 I'm feel I'm ready to go again. Not because I'm" hungry" but cause I just wanna eat!... I do have the occasional bit in between like cheese etc or a Protein drink but not a lot.. When I roll through the door at home I'm stil straight to the fridge .. but I don't eat it's a habit. I'll make a cuppa tea. It seems to tie me over till grub time again. A Protein Drink made with Water would be ok. Maybe I'm too strict lol I have a minimiser ring in as well so I'm not sure if that helps me. I get dizzy but cause I need my meds adjusted. It's all a learning game and a massive head game.

I'm a truck driver in Australia and it's a very physical job some of the time.. it's not all about being a steering wheel attendant. I took two weeks off and was in no pain what so ever. I just couldn't jump on and off the truck or lift over 10-15kgs ( I think) for 6 weeks although some times I had too... I found the first week back I had some fatigue but not to bad. From about 3-4 weeks post I forgot I had, had surgery.. unless I ate lol... I could of gone back earlier but it was good to take a bit extra time off ..I had no pain or discomfort from day 1 after surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I stuck to the plan although it didn't tell me a whole lot... I have got a lot of info of the internet etc... The time goes fast so if your on liquids for a little longer it won't matter. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Isn't it weird how all our " wounds" are on different spots?... I have 5 "stab" marks. 4 in a row and 1 up under my sternum I gather for a hiatus hernia I had repaired that I didn't know was bung lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm down 16kgs since 2 week pre op or 13 kgs down since op dec 5th.. I have had a slight stall week 3 to week 4.5. I'm also a low BMI'er so I started at around 84kgs now I'm 68. I don't do calories and wouldn't have a clue how much I eat but I do eat Protein at every meal and keep my fats up and carbs down to very little. eggs are a major food in my plan as well as cottage cheese , cream cheese and any cheese really lol.. I eat chicken and beef mince and tuna Cauliflower, carrot and zucchini mostly Protein powder is sometimes added as well to different dishes .. avocado is a huge part of what i eat as well Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 6 weeks out and haven't vomited yet. I have over eaten ( I think) or eaten too quick twice and I have felt nauseous but that's about it. I have had the feeling of food being stuck ( from eating to quick again) Over eating or eating to quick was literally a bite too much Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I second this. I eat what my family eats. I just watch my portion sizes. That having been said, I serve my family food I can eat. No Pasta and potatoes on our table. We have scrambled eggs and ham for breakfast, I eat a P3 for lunch, and dinner might be salmon with mashed cauliflower and a green salad. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App[/quot What's p3?... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I didn't like it tbh ... I was so looking forward to it being over But It wasn't the worst thing either lol I just knew I had to do it !!... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Didn't say you did!! You made a comment stating you would have to eat rather high fat.. and I was saying people need to educate themselves on this way of eating.. I didn't say you thought it was wrong!.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm with you!!... I'd rather sort or LIVE and have an open airway lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My Pre op was... Breakky- Optifast shake or dessert or bar lunch - the same as breakky dinner - the same as those ^^^^ up there plus unlimited restricted veggies.. meaning NO starchy ones NO fruit NO Protein NO nothing that wasn't optislim or optifast No dairy Yep I starved lol Only Water or sugar free cordial b Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah there is ... your just blind Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It will get better !!.... I was on clear for one week and then full. Which was Protein shakes and Soups but a bit thicker... maybe add a bit more to your broth or soup... I'm 6 weeks out and hated the 2 week pre op as well as the first week lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

And you know it's not as bad and scary as I thought it was going to be.. 6 weeks out and I'm living a fairly normalish life lol. Atm in fact I'm eating avocado and egg. Sticking to more Protein and high fat. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If you insist on being in ketosis because you think it's the right way for you to go you not only have to watch the carb intake, you also have to eat rather high in fat. The body is not stupid. When there are not enough carbs available, the body is able to make glucose out of amino acids (gluconeogenesis). So simply replacing carbs with Protein won't work that good. Protein is also more insulinogenic than many people think. There is nothing wrong with eating high fat!.... we are drummed into believing that high fat is wrong for some reason. People need to educate themselves on this. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

U can buy Protein waters from a store in Riverton forum and my gym at goodlife carousel sells them. ( if it's the same or similar thing)?.... I don't like the ones from the gym as they taste like pure sugar.... the others from the health food store were ok.. mind u I just did optislim My dr at Murdoch never told me to do the two week pre op but his off sider did as my liver was fatty...

Thank god I had no issues at all. Was sleeping on my side and stomach on day 4. No pain meds after day one.. I wonder why some pains are really bad and others are mild?... you gotta wonder what the hell the Drs are doing. What is binding the stomach???... I haven't heard of that before Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
