I was sleeved May 9, 2018 and have only lost 55 pounds.

Im in Portland

I had lost 55 pounds but have found that i have gained 10 pounds. I have been eating more lately and when i go to the grocery store i find that i buy foods that i would buy before my surgery.

I should have been at my goal weight by now had it not been for drinking wine and beer and eating cheese and other fattening foods.

I see my Nutritionist on May 1.

Thank you for your response. I am sort of restarting my body by eating the way I did when I first got home from my surgery. Major portion control. Somehow I had fallen off the wagon and have been drinking wine beer and candy. Food is one of my addictions. It is so hard to not buy Easter candy.

I have lost 45 pounds and I am so happy about this. I am so glad that I had the sleeve done. It has been almost 5 months since my surgery.

I was just wondering if we can eat Quinoa because I read that it can adversely affect the stomach and intestines. Does anyone have any knowledge of this and can you share with me what you know about eating Quinoa after sleeve surgery. Thank you.

Try the Apple A Day cookbook. It has vegetarian recipes by Dr's wives. Also you may be interested in Loma Linda Foods. They make vegetarian fake meats. I love the Linkettes. They are vegetarian hot dogs. They come in a can. I bought 12 cans on Amazon recently. They are made with soy protein.

I found these little bowels of Raisin Bran that come in a box of 96 for 32.00 on Amazon. They only have 10 grams of sugar. 4 Fiber. 27 carbs. 230 potassium. No fat. It also has a lot of different vitamins in it. They are the perfect little size to fill me up. They are the right amount for breakfast with my sleeved stomach. They also have 3 grams of protein.

I have lost 35 pounds and I am darn proud of that.

My urine has been dark and I know it is because I am not drinking enough water. I am starting to put a little bit of Gatorade in my water in order to be able to drink more water. Has anybody else dealt with this issue? I certainly do not want my kidneys to fail.

I never said the surgery never worked.

By the way I spelled bowls wrong.

I think you have made your points. I happen to agree with you. I can only say that what I do eat is in very small amounts.

Each little Raisin Bran bowel is 1.25 oz each.

Thank you.

I am not an extremist when it comes to weight loss. I am learning that it takes time. I do understand the issue of sugar and in each "bowel" of this Raisin Bran there is 10 grams of sugar. That doesnt bother me or phase me. I can deal with that. The Gatorade helps to satiate my body; I mix it with my water. And I only had a slice of pizza one third of which I could not finish and have not had pizza since. Go easy on me I am not a bad person or a liar as you (SillyKitty) insinuated.

Thank you Ashley for your kind and supportive remarks, I really do appreciate it.

Diane, there is nothing wrong with the little cup of Raisin Bran that I eat with soy milk every morning. It provides vitamins and is rich in fiber. What would you tell me if I told you that I eat oatmeal every morning?

I am allowed 225 - 325 grams of carbs per days. So really that puts my 27 grams in this cereal in the null catagory.

New research shows that carbs are very very good for you. And there is nothing wrong with 10 grams of sugar. I am allowed a certain amount of carbs per day, obviously. 27 carbs is nothing. Seeing as a have one of these little bowels of cereal is not going to hurt me. My lunch and dinner consist of canned protein shakes. Given that, there is nothing wrong with these little bowels of breakfast cereal.

I am only eating about 500 calories per day so the little bit of calories from Gatorade isnt going to hurt me.

No I am not taking vitamins right now. I ordered some from Amazon and they will arrive at the end of the week. There are days when I dont drink hardly any liquids.

Dark urine is never a good sign.
