Tuna packets, oikos triple zero yogurt, ground turkey with sauce, turkey roll ups with cheese, roasted chick peas in various flavors, chicken salad etc good luck :)

You’ll feel it once you’re eating solid food. I was like you with liquids :)

Wear out what you wear in ;)

Exactly. Always weigh . For me it’s 3-4 oz but that may mean different volume of up to a cup so just be wary

Ditto on the water taste! I’ve been drinking Powerade zeros and iced teas (decaf homemade)

You’ll be just great Frust! All I used was a brush, pair of sweatpants, hair elastic, phone charger , biotene, and a toothbrush. Don’t bother with anything else - you won’t need it! You’ll either sleep or WALK!

Frust— she posted this in May. So had the surgery :) Hasn’t posted since then “Can anyone help I’m 3 days post roux n Y gassy still retching up phlegm and stomach cramps can’t even lay half way down on liquids need help to get stool , relax stomach so I can heal my throat is sore from retching up all this mucous”

You’re doing just fine. As Matt said— I too could eat more than others. Main point is make sure the food counts- ie lean proteins. I’m about 8 months post and eat about a cup - have been since very early on . Doesn’t seem to be slowing my progress- everyone is different. You’re doing great :)

It gets easier and better after day 5... hang in there

Awesome look! Beautiful

I thought of it as a success and a determination lifestyle statement that I will never ever need to keep my closet full of what ifs and if I need that size agains .... it was liberating. Be proud of yourself and refuse to ever think that way again Get rid of them ... know that you’re donating them to someone who could use them Congrats

Congrats! It definitely gets more normal and like you didn’t have surgery after day 5 :)

I’m sorry you’re going through that- please reach out to counseling. What you’re experiencing with removing yourself from family etc doesn’t sound healthy or typical Best to you

I forgot my lunch today but of course I had what I thought were healthy snacks. However… I did not realize I was eating 3 ounces of dried seasoned chickpeas (which by the way are ridiculously good!) … Healthy option right? Yes… But high in calories if you eat three servings! I just ate 512 cal of chickpeas… Holy crap. Essentially an ounce and a half for lunch and outs and a half for snack throughout the day. Of course in perspective could’ve been cookies ha ha 🙄

I didn’t tell any of mine either- just my husband (obv). My family and everyone else think I’m seeing a nutritionist , changing my eating amounts -frequency and types of foods...and hitting the gym (crazy amount of cardio)— all of which true. 8 months out and all good :)

Congrats Ash!

Ive lost more than anticipated. Started 242 and current 140. You don’t need to be average :)

Besides a ride home - no need for anyone to care for you. Just make sure you’re not lifting anything heavy aka go grocery shopping before

Add in things like avocado or nuts... healthy higher calorie items?

Nice job, amazing!

It’s a good bday present :)

Yes! With needing all new clothes and new found ability to wear more clothes it’s so easy to get addicted!

All the best for today’s surgery! It will go by fast and you’ll be on your way! Post when you’re able!

Congrats!! Nice work !

Congrats to you both! My Bypass was very uneventful and a breeze so I wish that for you two as well! There may be a bit more discomfort due to band removal but you’ve got this. Gas day 1 was the worst but just get up and move ASAP and it makes its way through
