Pumpkin spice protein?
alcn1derlnd replied to Miss Topaz's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I meant pumpkin purée. You can freeze in ice cube tray HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 219.8 -
Pumpkin spice protein?
alcn1derlnd replied to Miss Topaz's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You could add a little pumpkin protein and pumpkin pie spice to vanilla powder HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 219.8 -

Try egg drop soup for a Chinese place that doesn't thicken the broth. I liked adding a dash of sirracha to it too. I was allowed to have it while on my liquids and it was great for fluid totals too HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 219.8

Yes here. I'm going to be formatting a spreadsheet and I will post it on here. I tried to do it tonight on my iPad but the app was being finicky HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 219.8 -
100 miles in 100 days fitness challenge

Sunday I swam for 55 minutes nonstop free and did 104 laps but the pool I swim at is only 20yards. The day before I was doing IM work. It just depends on the day what I'm doing. I'm just getting back into the swing of things. I've only been cleared to go back swimming two weeks ago. HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 219.8 -

Sunday reporting works for me. I tend to swim laps. I haven't decided to use the twenty minutes a mile or my actual mileage. It takes an hour and fifteen minutes for me to swim a mile and a half. HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 219.8 -

I got my first iud years ago and it caused me to spot and have extra periods almost constantly for the first three months. Now nine weeks post surgery I'm back to spotting frequently with all the extra hormones as I lose weight. HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 219.8

Try taking it with milk or protein shake. Multivitamin can upset an empty stomach. HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 219.8

It is incredibly freeing to not feel the need to indulge in food. I have been so lucky to not expire either any cravings so far post op. I love being able to go to an ice cream shop with my family and just socialize with them while they have their treat. I know never feeling hungry will eventually fade, but I am encouraged be the healthy habits I have established to date. HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 230.2

Protein Shakes Add Ice! (Post op day 4)

I regret this surgery
alcn1derlnd replied to QueenTiff's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The huge release of extra hormones don't help with our emotions. I'm two months out and know mine have to be extremely high thanks to my monthly visit turning into four. I use to work with IVF patients and can tell you that stress ( which your body is going through due to surgery and a major life change) plus too many hormones leads to depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and mood swings. Try going to your local bariatric support group meetings to talk out what you are going through or the psychiatrist that did your pre op evaluation . Hang in there. It should get better soon.

I haven't felt my mirena shift and I am two months post op. I have however started having periods again. I have had a mirena for the past seven years and only had periods the first four months where I basically had one long period with small breaks of not having one. After that initial adjustment to the first mirena, I have had less than a dozen periods. I'm hoping this new development will go away after I lose my excess weight and shift into maintenance later on. HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 225.8

Anyone else not able to drink for hours after eating soft or solid foods? I get sick and nauseous if I drink anything before that time period is up. In order to get my fluids in I find myself drinking a liter of water in the morning before I eat. Then won't eat anything after about 3pm except a protein shake. I then finish off the night drinking water. I'm six weeks post op. HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 231.8

I switched from sleeve to bypass before surgery. I didn't want to deal with GERD. I also wanted to not feel hungry longer, two months out and I haven't had any hunger yet. While watching this board, I saw several revision posts and that factored into my decision. I want to do this right the first time. I was 292 at my highest and 256.8 at time of surgery. I liked the idea of having two mechanisms for weightloss. HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 225.8

Have you guys tried taking care of yourself first for a while? Getting into a regular rhythm by masterbating can have a positive effect on your libido. HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 225.8

HELP! BCBS 6 Month Nutrition Requirement

I'm doing well. Dense meats I can only take a couple of bites or I have problems. I eat mostly beans, eggs, or dairy for protein. I've lost 28lbs since surgery on June 29th. My doctor's office is very happy with my weightloss so far. HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 230.2
