Lolo 2020

I know what ur saying , I need to make sure I am on track . ManningAd a problem with tuna fish salad tonight ! I have to use baby spoons .. I take too much I think . Then I am in trouble ..

Wow roast beef ? Man, no way for me . I had ricotta cheese last night and it got stuck and I had to walk it off for 20 min! And I am stalled at 208 although I plan to do 4 straight days of spin and keep carbs under 50. That usually helps jump start the metabolism. Sometimes I think it’s best to ignore the scale , it will go at its own pace

I am in week 5 and I certainly can’t do much in the way of dense foods . Chicken and egg salad didn’t work . I am finding I need at least one protein drink a day to ensure I get my protein and my surgeon has suggested same . I am doing a lot of cottage cheese or plain yogurt with sugar free fruit cups (soft fruit , 25 calories no added sugar) and I am carrying tons of low fat cheese sticks in my purse ! I am using bananas too. I get hungry but a lot of foods get stuck and are uncomfortable . But one cheese stick get me over the hump . I am having very good success with tuna salad and fish dishes - was out to dinner and had flounder Francais and grilled fish with lump crabmeat and a side of mashed potatoes and mixed vetables and all that went down well ! Only about 2-3 oz of fish at a sitting though

Omg 4 th week our I tried chicken salad - used thighs but still couldn’t eat it . Got stuck real bad . Stay away from all chicken and meat . I am on week 5 and have just been a been able to manage fish and poached eggs . Tried egg salad today with hard boiled egg and no go . So to answer your question , wanting to puke in chicken is totally normal

If you are in the US go to Dr. Shillingford in boca Raton. Flat fee of $10,500 covers everything and he and the nurses/hospital were awesome. He is trying to keep people from going to Mexico because of complications and got this special discount rate. Very highly recommended and rated

Sounds like u r doing great ! Ru really down to 200? I am stalled at 208 but have been in florida at my parents and no spin , just walking ..think it makes a difference, no intense exercise and eating only 650 calories a day , but just puttering along

Ha! I have heard some flack on dr v, so no surprise there. My view is that exercise keeps me sane, so i am doing it. I do worry when they talk about it spiking hunger, god knows I don’t need that!

2 hours a day working out is a lot and if you watch the videos of dr vuong he will say that exercise is not a way to lose weight. It will tone you up , and i find helps with mood, but also will make you hungrier. Its such a delicate balance, really annoying.

My doc says no alcohol for a year I have a friend who does vodka on the rocks or with crystal light , after 3 months me, my view is why waste the calories ? no alcohol till goal . Its a small price to pay

I was told anything goes after 4 weeks check the bariatric eating website for protein products - I just bought coffee creamer with protein and they have snacks and stuff if u want protein but tired of shakes

They say it absolutely slows after 3 months . But exercise and sticking to the calorie , protein and carb parameters helps to boost it again . My view is that as long as the trend is downward, not upward I am good !

I lost 30lbs the first months and didn’t get a hernia - I love to exercise, but the doc scared me about lifting too much too soon - second month is plenty of time to kick into gear and do weight training . Every day I feel more normal and stronger

Same thing happened to me with turkey chili . Ground meat doesn’t work for me , I just eat refried beans with cheese and call it a day

1500 is a lot of calories ! I was told 600-800 calories and 60-80g ofnprotein , under 50g carbs until I hit goal

I was sleeved 12/20 and only walked around the neighborhood for 15 min am and pm for the first few days . Progressed to walking 30 min at once and then within 2 weeks was doing 3 miles , 45 min. Did not do any leg lifts or crunches or plank or weights for a month . Started spin at 3 weeks . Intense exercise definitely lights up the metabolism and weight loss , but some doctors say it also makes you hungrier

Omg I tried chicken salad at 3 weeks and it was a nightmare . Had to walk for 90 minutes because I felt like it was stuck and I was suffocating . I am 4 weeks out and can only do like 2 oz of fish . Tried to put ham in a scrambled egg this am and that didn’t work . I think meats r just way far in the future . Stick with eggs , fish, cottage cheese and yogurt . I rely on at least one protein drink a day

I understood that you should shoot for 600-800 calories a day , 60-80g of protein and under 50g of carbs while u r trying to lose .

I make my shakes with 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk. It has like 5 g of protein for 30 calories . I use pure protein chocolate powder (35g of protein! For only 160 calories ) plus a teaspoon of pb2 powder and half a frozen banana. Packed full of protein , and like the best chocolate peanut butter banana milk shake u ever had ! It’s 250 calories but stays with u a long time and has great protein . I do half a shake sometimes as well for 125 calories and almost 20g of protein

Nope no alcohol . They say I can drink after a year . A friend of mine had vodka on the rocks after 3 months . Why wouldn’t have alcohol in my view if u r trying to lose weight

Doctor prescribed chewable multi , calcium and iron

I had surgery 12/20 and no one told me I would feel ravenous ! U get very hungry on liquids and purées because once the inflammation goes down the liquids go right through! U don’t feel the restriction of the sleeve until U start eating real food , fish , steamed vegetables and fruit . That said I still do one shake a day because I can’t eat enough to get all my protein in . You will feel the restriction at a month plus .. no worries

Wow looks awesome to me ! I’ll take those legs!

I’ve weight trained mh whole life and worked out so not so saggy yet , am hoping I won’t have too much excess skin. But still have 40 pounds to get so we’ll have to see -

The weight loss I mean

Woo hoo! Not far now ! How much does it slow down after a few months? By week ?
