You’ve GOT to be kidding me?? Weight GAIN?
ctdan replied to Aginn10's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I gained 2lbs over the weekend. But I called down and just watched myself a little more and it came off and now my stall is over. -
I had mine on 9/25, and I stalled for about 2 weeks, but it started up again. For head hunger I try to drink something like crystal light. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 246 GW: 190

Found out I do not like bacon anymore. I love tuna and fish when I used to hate it. And steak tastes gamey. What tastes changes have you experienced? 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 252 GW: 190

A appetizer lasts 3 meals. The water boy keeps getting rejected at your table. The waitress thinks something is wrong with the food since you are not eating it. Any others 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 248 GW: 190

How is you water intake, not drinking enough could help cause them. When you pee, it should be a light yellow. At least that is what my nut told me 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 246 GW: 190

I was a week in from starting soft foods stage and I went away for the weekend. This ment resturants and breakfast buffets at the hotel. I did great, had a thai appetizer and bbq shredded meat for dinners and got a lunch and multiple snacks out of both. Only needed a spoonful of scrambled eggs for breakfast. I guess I was very surprised how easy it was. Also found I had more energy for walking doing things. It seems it gets easier and easier each week. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 246 GW: 190

They were not kidding about taste changes
ctdan replied to ctdan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That is true, I can no longer stomach sweet protein drinks or some yogurts 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 250 GW: 190 -

I noticed 4 weeks out when I started soft foods 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 252 GW: 190 -
My Doctor is very conservative with his meal plan but I finally moved on to soft foods[emoji1]. Today I had a egg for breakfast and some Halibut for dinner. The Halibut was great and I never really liked fish before. Interestingly enough I tried a bite of bacon and I no longer like the taste of it. Overal a good day 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190

I get the same with Muscle Milk. I think it called protein bubble or something is other forums for working out. I moved to a flavorless protein that I can mix in crystal light 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190

Everyone: What was your turning point in your life that made you decide the wls route?
ctdan replied to xoxococojay's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Was thinking about it for 2 years, then this past Jan I finally broke the 300 barrier and I found I needed a pillow to lay on the floor to play with my daughter. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190 -
I think being emotional after any big trauma event for your body is normal. But there are days when grocery shopping that I get sad for a minute for no reason. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190

I lived on grits when I started pureed, just start slow I was 3 weeks out when allowed bland pureed foods. Buffalo chicken puree made me pretty uncomfortable that week. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190

What are your purée faves ?
ctdan replied to mzsantiago88's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did this one with olive oil. Once done I mix in a little taco sauce for flavor when eating it. The broth the comes out of this is amazing as well. https://www.thespruce.com/instant-pot-refried-beans-4140600 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190 -

Towards the end of the first week I was actually going out a Lot due to feeling trapped at home. You should have no issues sitting as long as you move at intermission. I found I moved like a older person 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190

I bought some "medical grade" protein that is tasteless from GNC. I mix it in with crystal light in the Am. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
