I’m drinking a shake usually consists of 200 to 300 calories -
I’ve been struggling lately with to much eating or eating the wrong thing. Still not eating a lot just getting past Christmas. I’ve had some issues with digestion like everyone else and a previous (TMI warning) anal fissure. Miralax instead of Stool softeners are being used. If it wasn’t for the fissures I would use more fiber. I would like to get back on track and I feel it starts this week. My late night 32oz of tea is not helping Got to cut it out. I’m trying more KETO oriented diet. Body Tech protein every morning I love the cinnamon cereal. I was just checking how is everyone else doing.

But here is what I did for sausage balls 1/2 lb of sausage (I used venison) 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese 1/2 cup of pecan meal( if you have any other ideas for a binder I’m all ears) Baked on 350 for 30 minutes turned out great Shoot your Christmas recipes

Ok let’s settle this I have just got rid of the miralax. I have used chia seed but know they can cause constipation. I eat a bunch of kale lately. What does everyone prefer.

Going through weekend on fiber and protein I have been going to bathroom but I don’t feel I am completely vacating my bowels. And I’m straining as a person with hemroids and fissures I am scared to strain. I’m getting enough water and liquid I’m going to try to get 90 oz or more of water today. I don’t like straining I can’t use a stool at work.

Guys I’ve done relatively good I was sleeved 4/2017 I was 398 today 7/2018 I’m 220. My problem at one time was bowel movements with a little TMI i had hemroids and fissures. Finally got over that with heavy dosage miralax and stool softeners with stimulants. I am now using miralax since it is an osmotic and not stimulant in morning and at in afternoon. I’m not sure what long term effects will be. Since I only eat a protein shake in the morning and a small lunch and small dinner usually 1 cup per meal it’s hard to get fiber in. I also feel that lose stuffed and heavy if I don’t take the miralax.

I’m feeling good started out at 398 the day of surgery. Today I was 237.8 I have had to have my gallbladder out because of weight loss. I have had to same issues as everyone else with constipation which as caused a few other problems especially since December/ January. But miralax and stool softeners with stimulants have helped. I’ve noticed more energy from working in the yard to playing with the kids and other things. I started kayak fishing, my golf swing has struggled due to no belly being there to be a swing guide. It’s been something for the best.

One year out feeling good
wade5901 replied to wade5901's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I really don’t have a goal I was stuck between 250 and 240 since December and was getting frustrated. I went back to measuring my food and started losing again losing weight is addictive so I would like to see how far I can go. -
Does anyone have any recommendations on vitamins I’ve noticed my hair feeling a little different I was also told recently that if I don’t take vitamins regularly it will slow down my weight loss which I think it has. So I would love to here some recommendations

Sleeve and I’m not really taking any right now
-
I lost around 140 quick around 6.5 months . Then in November I had gallbladder removed due to weight loss. Lost 10 more that week I’m sitting at 250 right now. The stomach issues I’m having which means I’m in the bathroom a hour or so after I eat. I’m constantly hungry now I’m still limiting to a cup per meal and I go over every now and then. I have not lost weight In 2 months I’m getting a little worried I’m falling off the wagon. I counted my calories today and they are around 1000 when I get done with today and imagine that will be the same or less. But this hunger of food going through me is killing me I want to start losing again.

I’m having issues going to support page on app

Ok thanks -
Hello everyone I am new to this page I am 5 months in to my insurance approval process, and I just met with my surgeon here in Birmingham Alabama. Before i met with him i was looking at the Gastric bypass mainly for the reasons of negative reinforcement from dumping. Once i met with him he recommended the sleeve. I know in the end its up to me iI have done a ton of research lately and the sleeve and bypass seem to have the same weight loss percentage just a different amount of time. I also worry about weight gain after the fact i know it can happen with both. My Surgeon told me that a lot of the reason he recommends the sleeve is because of my job which is 75 to 80 percent of the time behind a desk. but the other i might be doing a lot of heavy lifting and walking with heavy loads. I am 6'3 420 currently and not sure which way to go I would love as much advice as i can get I am also putting this on the Gastric Sleeve board as i am confused as ever.
