40lbs, thats great. Feel better.

Hi all, sleeved 1.6.2017 Doing well, phase 3 diet, back to work, light workout, only complaint is lack of energy. Looking fwd 2 seeing 199 on d scale. SW 242. CW 211. GW 140

Im 40 days post op, vomited a total of 3 times. When i have eaten too much i feel stuffed n disgusting. I find for me its not the amount of food that makes me nauseous but the type of food. Some things ur body just doesnt want n make u gag. I use to love tuna, my new sleeve hates it. Oh well. Small price to pay to no longer have to wear a tent to the beach :-)

Something that worked wonders for myself and a friend that also got sleeve is fiber1 cheesecake bars. They just melt in ur mouth. Like the everready bunny, you'll be going n going. Good luck.

Im going to say something alot of the judgemental folk here will probably be mad at me for saying. Go eat what ever the hell u want n desire n get it out of ur system now b4 surgery n b4 ur liver diet. I did, i told my doc n his response was at least i was honest n not to binge, just have small portions of my faves n get it out of my system b4 the 3 week diet pre surgery. So, Decent portions, dont go crazy n have a thanksgiving size plate. Every1 heals differently and after surgery, its a lottery, there may b some foods u may no longer tolerate. Also it will be quite some time b4 u can have n enjoy that "taco", for instance. Yes im new to VSG, 5 weeks out n 30 pds down, get my Protein n Water in, back 2 work n just started light workout for those that will ask n say im to new to know anything. However, everyday im pist i didnt have those damn tacos b4 surgery. They haunt me. So in order not to fail, the taco n i have a 5 de Mayo date :-). I looooove Pasta, i had it b4 surgery n got it out of my system, havent even thought about it once in 5 weeks. Get your last supper on, enjoy it, say farewell to it, maybe you'll meet again someday in the future bec once ur post op its serious business. U may stumble but u wont fall flat on ur face bec you'll know it was a long journey to get to this point n u don't want to ruin ur final outcome. Plus ur stomach will kick u in the ass if u try to put something in it its not ready for. Good luck. Hope u appreciate my honesty and that it all goes well for you. See u on the losers bench soon.

Yeah. Wth? I like the signatures.

I went on Procarenow.com They have a 1 a day bariatric vitamin. I got the capsules, doc ok'd them. They dissolve in 3 sec in water. For calcium i got powder from Now brand at puritan pride.com a bottle lasted 6 weeks, tasteless, dissolves 100% and was like $7. I couldnt do the chewables.

Pasta s my chryptonite so im steering clear of it. I got rye pumpernickel bread n i can eat just 1 slice. Ive had it like every 3 or 4 days 4 bkfst. My body is slow at tolerating many foods so far so im very thankful for the things that dont make me sick. Good thing is im still on track with weightloss.

I always wanted one of those. May have to pay a visit to bjs. Good luck with the veggies. Today s turkey meatballs parm w carrots day. :-)

Hi, feel your pain. Im dying for some penne ala vodka :-(. Every doc follows a diff nutrition plan. I was allowed toast at phase 3 which i was moved to on my follow up at week 3 post op. I got sleeved, hernia repair and gall bladder removed. S/w ur doc n nut about getting a clear breakdown so u dont mess up your progress n healing process. FYI, i cheated n had a few french fries that made me wish some1 would shoot me n put me out of my misery. Learned quick fast to not jump the gun n follow my damn plan. Lord it was horrible. Good luck.

Id go to a chiropractor n inquire about an adjustment due to the discs and the weight change. VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come :-)

Update... So i tried a salad. No bueno. It was like scotch tape in my throat. I was so upset i fealt i could cry n scared i would choke. I really wanted that salad. I'm week 5 so ill pump my brakes n give it another month. CW 214 VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come :-)

Hey@Tufflaw. Hope all is well. So the chicken n guac was a hit, also sauteed chicken w onions n peppers and chicken marsala. Im about to grow wings n fly with all this chicken, lol. Ive been experimenting with foods. Hit n miss. Tuna, cod fish, lettuce, broccoli - all a miss. Maybe next month. But i learned to do reset once i get a miss cause dang u feel like crap. I do broth n Proteins for next 24 hrs. Tomm im making ricotta bake again, this time with ground turkey. :-) keep those recipes coming CW 214 VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come

Was really backed up and had a Fiber one bar...it worked, like the everready bunny... going n going. Now, I rotate stool softener one day, half a fiber one cheesecake bar the next day. So far so good and steady weightloss. Just don't do the dumb sh!t i did n had a few of my nieces Mc D's french fries last week. 5 min later it was explosive. Now i know better. Don't judge me, nobodys perfect. Cleaned me out though. Lol. CW 214 VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come

Fiber one cheesecake bars + warm tea. Have one of those and it will clean you out quick fast. Works best for me and a few others. Also satisfied sweets craving. Good luck. Feel better. CW 214 VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come

Hi hope ur feeling better. Check with your doc. Most likely its from the straps they tie us down to the operating table with. I had the same as well as bruises on my thighs, shoulders and calf/shins area. I was having a meltdown thinking it was bloodclots. Turned out They were all from the straps likely too tight. I was awake when the one on my hips was placed and it hurt. Pain lasted almost 2 weeks. Good luck. Feel better. CW 215 VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come ????

Your friend sounds like a damn hater. She may have had success with weight watchers but doesnt seem like shes happy with herself nor is she concerned with your happiness. A REAL friend doesnt care WTH your reasons are for doing WLS. Are you happy with ur decision and ultimately will it make you a better you? That's it, plain n simple. Trust me once ur on the losers bench with us u will find ur not going to want the negativity around u n u may b the one to drop her like a hot potato. Good luck on your journey. We're all here for you. CW 216 VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come ????

My doc said same thing. Trial n error once ur on phase 3, which i was moved to at 3 wk follow up appt. He said try each veg cooked and if all goes well then try them raw as salad. I cant wait to have a salad..... Never thought i would hear myself say that. CW 216 VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come ????

Sounds like me too. I'm 5 ft 3.5 in. CW 216 VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come ????

Oh n for ur nausea, the first 2 weeks i started the day with ginger lemongrass tea n a gas x. Helped settle my stomach. Give it a try. Also Protein shake fruit smoothies. CW 218 VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come ????

Hey, were surgery twins. I got sleeved same day. Try flavor in ur Water, maybe lemon. I use TRUE LEMON was on my nut list. Its crystallized lemons, no sugar. I've always hated water. My nut also approved a splash of juice in my water, no more than 1oz. It works great n helps me get more water in Im already on phase 3 but was able to have chicken n tuna on puree stage so that helps w Protein count. Try app called protein tracker, blue icon with white dumbbell. CW 218 VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come ????

Wow, lucky you. Glad the gingerale worked for youand ur feeling better. Now i know if i ever need to i can have it also. That dang gas is the worst. Ps... good 4 u w the poops also, the constipation the first few days was the worst. CW 218 VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come ????

Call ur insurance to make sure. 24 hrs b4 surgery mine was still not approved. I had a melt down when ins tried to give me run around and my surgery was possibly getting delayed, next avail date was 2 months out. In the end it all worked out but the stress was so unwelcome 24hrs b4 surgery. CW 218 VSG 1/6/2017 SW 242 GW 140 Woohoo ...summer 2017 here we come ????
