What's normal after dumping?
TakingABreak replied to Beck90's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is one of my biggest fears. I check the menu's as much as possible prior to eating out because its crazy how much added sugar exists in recipes. -

Week Two Post-op: Too much sugar?
TakingABreak replied to HP62442's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I stalled for a whole week when I was 2 weeks post op. I think it has to do with how much you loose on the pre op diet. I wouldn’t be concerned. But as you can ingest more, i would limit your drinks with calories. -
Massive gut not shrinking
TakingABreak replied to Walter.Sobchak's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I feel the same way! My legs are like little sticks, and it makes it hard to find pants. They say people loose the belly last! -

I've sent that and I want to get it for our monthly game night with friends. It looks like a lot of fun. -

I like this idea a lot! I do have some games that would work for a large crowd. I'll SPRING it on them after dinner. thanks MrsGramgee! -
Hosting Sunday Dinner
TakingABreak replied to TakingABreak's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm a perfectionist to say the least, but more so a nurturer. I love hosting because I thrive on making sure everyone is fed, comfortable, and happy. But good advice, I'll try and take it easy -

I love that idea! I think it will help see the weight loss progression, plus just fun! -
Has anyone noticed that their resting heart rate after surgery is a lot less? Also, it takes some serious cardio exercise for my heart rate to increase for optimal impact.

Seriously! I've been waiting very patiently for today. I've got a bazillion things to pack into this weekend, so I'm ready for 5pm. Thanks for sharing your pic -

I mean this with zero disrespect, but I love the suspense and the "episodes". Can't wait for the next one. -

Looking good! Happy Friday -
Feeling Less Sexy
TakingABreak replied to TakingABreak's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I just read through some of the threads and I'm so glad you posted this link. I felt like an Alien , but turns out I'm not! Thanks -
Honestly, I thought that loosing weight would immediately boost my self confidence and I would feel more sexy and desirable. However, I don't feel this way. In fact, I think it's hurt me a little bit. I'm working out in the gym to tone up my flabbiness but its going to be a work in progress. Can anyone speak to their experiences? Are there highs and lows, or does my mind just need time to catch up to my body?

Struggling with whey....
TakingABreak replied to Just4nise's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I made these tasty jello cups that are supposed to be 12 grams of protein per 2oz. They were great during my liquid week post op. -
You are looking fabulous! Such an inspiration

I also have a problem at night. I get more hungry between 6-8pm. We don't usually eat dinner until 7pmish. So I can control it with dinner. But if we eat an early dinner, I find myself chopping at the bit. I have gained a lot of self control, minus my glass of FairLife Milk and Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup. Every night at 8pm I have exactly a cup. It settles my cravings.

You go girl! you look WONDERFUL! I love your glasses! I have to use Instagram filters for glasses. There is nothing sexier than a woman with glasses. -

I had this problem too! Its a side affect of Ketosis. If you read about it, you'll realize it is the process, not you. It goes away after awhile. -

I'll keep that in mind. I don't drink them much anymore but I keep some in the fridge for on the go situations -

TakingABreak replied to TakingABreak's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
It's the after taste for me! Anything with "added" protein has this horrible *smack* taste. SMH. -

TakingABreak replied to TakingABreak's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Now that's a good attitude. You will be back to "normal" before you know it. I know I struggled with social interactions involving food but I'm slowly accepting my self and realizing that its about the time with friends. -

3 day stretch! You've got this! Protein shakes never get better, I don't drink them at all right now. It will make you motivated to get all your protein by food instead.
