Who is sick of purees? Some fresh ideas...
fluffy562 replied to Naughty Glitter Goddess's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
all looks yummy!!!! -
all sounds normal to me. Felt the same. I'm 14 days post op. take it day by day.
-
i started puree today too. I feel almost human again.... LOL
-
Tomorrow I get to start stage 2 Puree..... my instructions are a bit confusing... 1st eat proteins, 2nd eat vegetables&Fruit, 3rd starches. 2-3 oz per meal. I'm assuming prepare 1 item from each list? then only 1 oz each or 2-3 oz each? Help??? LOL
-
Yes! I can’t wait!! How many protein shakes did you do in between
-
i think 28 pounds is amazing!! keep it up

Marijuana week after surgery?
fluffy562 replied to Joewy's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
great question! is that something you feel comfortable asking your doctor or nutritionist?? -
i'm only 2 weeks post op, so I'm a bit confused on this thread.... when someone says they fell off the bandwagon or eat whatever they want, Is it possible the first year? Wouldn't you only be able to take a couple of bites of something and be done? I know everyone is different, and I'm sorry if this question is dumb, but I guess I never imagined 5 months out and it's free for all??? I read other peoples threads and being only 5 months they complain they still are restricted?

my doctor prescribed to me liquid Zantac for 30 days 2x day. Yesterday morning woke up to empty bottle and being a holiday I couldn't get it. So today I called and and had it refilled. But when I woke up this morning I had bad Relux ( just guessing cause Ive never had). It was a burning feeling at the top of my throat downward. So around I picked up my prescription right away.... took it. And for some reason the burning is coming and going. I don't really feel like eating, just drinking water. Is this reflux or something else?????

amazing!!! feel proud

5 things I've learned 5 yrs out
fluffy562 replied to sharonintx's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
EXACTLY what i needed to hear. I'm only 2 weeks out but the future sounds worth it all. Thank You. Sadly, I've already lost one friend of 16 years from jealously I think? Sad, but I'm staying strong and moving forward. -
I guess I’m regretting a little...
fluffy562 replied to susunorm's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 2 days away from my 2 week post op. I will say it's been a whirlwind of emotions since. But I am determined to push through the feelings. If you let the negative thoughts control you, I can see how you are feeling this way. My first week I lost 12 pounds. I, too, felt discouraged. Cooking every night for my family. the smells, not being to taste or eat with them. Going to the grocery store and not being able to have the foods you enjoy or taking your boys through fast food and not ordering what your use too. Or NOT going to social events this early because of the what it does mentally when there is tons of food. Our routine as of now is different. Not having the comfort foods or whatever you did before, can be mentally challenging. Of course your gonna feel regret, but stop and remember why you did it in the first place. To break the patterns. To gain your confidence back. Not hide behind things. You wanted it bad enough to do the surgery, You HAVE to want it enough to continue the fight. We're all in it now and we are all here for the same reasons. Chin up! go out and do something today to get your mind off the energy your projecting. everyday is different and before we know it..... we will be over the hump. -
just wanted to wish everyone a Happy and safe Labor Day. I know that many will be going or hosting BBQ's. I raise my Premiere Protein shake to you. Stay strong!

Massive gut not shrinking
fluffy562 replied to Walter.Sobchak's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
has anyone tried the waist compression or waist trainer? I'm gonna use it after I'm cleared. I hear it helps. -
today Is my 7 days since surgery! Whoo. Yesterday I took a turn, for some reason yesterday i had the bottomless pit of liquid diet. no sipping involved. i seemed to have been able to drink normal ( pre surgery) I drank 22 oz of water in less than an hour. Couldn't get enough of water. drank protein shake no problem. broth. no problem. This morning ate greek yogurt, the whole container in 10 mins. normal bites. It's kinda freaking me out. why do you think this is? Oh and I don't feel full. I see my doctor later today and of course I will ask but kinda want know whats going on

fluffy562 replied to Tim84's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@msauerbrei congrats that's awesome. Had surgery same day only down 4 pds. I have constant hunger pains and REALLY want to guzzle water but can't -

I am SO tired of sweet things!
fluffy562 replied to sleevedllama's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm only 5 days post op and I know how you feel about the sweet. I'm so over broth and preimer shakes. I am an avid Pinterest user. I have already pinned so many recipe ideas for all the stages. They do give some good ideas. I suggest that if you haven't already. -
@3nuthut wow you've lost a lot of weight fast. congrats!!!

fluffy562 replied to Tim84's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@neneto3 our bodies are healing from surgery. Im sure we are inflamed and irritated. I wouldn't depend on the scale right now. just focus on the boring liquid diet. I know all too well about being hungry! grrrr!!!! -
kuddos to you for wanting to take the step. I too got to a point I said "enough"!! I can't do this anymore. I'm a social person who is around food and alcohol all the time. But as I became this person who just regretted the constant food pain from eating so much and drinking just to drink. I pulled the plug and without a word to my friends I did it. I didn't want anyone to influence me from not doing it. I'm tired of not being in any social media pictures, pictures at functions with my kids or husband. I just avoided the camera all together. I follow the latest styles and couldn't achieve any look being the weight I was. I'm 4 day post op. only my family is aware of my surgery and I will find out who my true friends are in time. but right now, it's about me and getting a grasp of my life again. I know in my heart that when I achieve my goal weight and know my confidence is strong, I will make more friends. Already have, this forum is awesome!

great questions; all have crossed my mind ( except the passing gas part I question why I haven't passed much) . I'm only 4 day post op, only weighed myself once, of course wasn't thrilled and had to remind myself why i never weigh because of the mind games it plays on me. I've decided to follow the doctors meal plan and only weigh when i go to follow up visits. our bodies just went through a surgery and is all whacked out. we have to give ourselves time to heal and figure out our groove. I'm taking advantage of my down time to heal and relax before I'm to run out the gates.
