Sleeved 1/5/19 pain and emotional
Avery's Mom replied to michelle.boone27's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
emotions are high but that is normal. If you are like me this was a long journey. as to the BM issue please talk to your doc! I am taking Miralax every other day to keep things moving as I am not able to drink as much water as I used to. -

Avery's Mom replied to Kay2016's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Doc released me for cardio at 4 weeks, the told me I could resume strength training at 6 weeks. weights, biking, etc. everybody is different thought. listen to your body! -

remember all liquid counts. I too felt bad about not getting in my water BUT my doc pointed out that two protein shakes a day added 20 oz to my intake I was not considering. slow and steady is the way. I too was a glug glug glug kinda girl all day. I work in customer service and spend a lot of time on the phone. talking is thirsty work!

Sorry to hear this. it can be come an obsession. I am glad you are getting help!
-
I only weigh in once a week, keeps me from obsessing! you can gain/lose up to 5-6 lbs of water daily so I don't sweat it. I am 8 weeks out and down 40 lbs. one third of the way to my goal. I am right there with you on that 'one bite too many' I can tell right away when it is too much. I have only really overaten once and it was stress/emotions related. gotta learn to conquer that!

WOO HOO! I have United healthcare and they required 5 yrs of history plus a 6 month supervised diet to 'prove' I can follow a program I guess?

I am 52, mother of four, grandmother of four, have 4 furbabies.....hmm seeing a pattern. lol My youngest has special needs so a lot of my energy goes to him. He is part of the reason I did this.

Avery's Mom replied to tjwolski47's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)
I meal prep a lot. so ill do baked chicken breast, or if I'm lazy get a big rotisserie chicken from sam's or make turkey meatloaf for protein. we always have sliced turkey and ham in the fridge, then I grab various veggies and stuff, yogurt, sugar free jello or pudding, beef jerky for snacks. -
Egg & Cheese Bites recipes- Delicious protein!
Avery's Mom replied to The New Kel's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)
wrap a slice of turkey bacon around the cup before you add the eggs for a crispy crust or chop the back and put it I the bottom before you put in the eggs. MINE also puff then subside as they cool. perfectly normal. -
I make what is called 'lazy lasagna' using spinach in place of noodles. so good!
