I like ur logic. Thank you for the web pages!

Thank you so much everyone! I havent been logging in my food which i should. Im going to try some of these other food ideas. Appreciate it, thank u

Thank you i will look these up. Appreciate you shareing..

I wasnt aloud to have yogurt my doc said not till after the first month but i did anyways that was the only way i was able to get protein in at that point. I called my docter at 2 weeks and said im not getting enough protein like literally 12g the whole day and i refuse to drink another protein drink and i told them i put myself on protein yogurt i was getting over 30g with just that and the doc said if it didnt hurt and i was still losing then great... ( not saying u should go rouge like i did ) best of luck!

Ya you will be fine. I had 2 kids under 5 when we went not to long ago just sit down when u can. All the walking around will help with ur weight loss. Mall of america is fun. Liquids suck but at least taking protein powder or drinking the already mixed ones will be easy to carry with you just remember to drink water in between ur delicious protein drinks since u will be walking so much. Hehe i remember those days not to long ago i will never go back to pure liquids..

At 2 weeks post op we stayed in San Diego for 2 days to go to sea world and the tide pools and i brought an ice chest that we left in the car with things i can eat. At the hotel i was able to warm protein broth in the microwave and in the cooler i kept protein yogurt , string cheese, sf pudding and few other things. It went fine. Alittle sad when everyone else gets to eat yummy delicious food and im the one eatting a yogurt with a plastic spoon but o well i tryed my best.. good luck with ur road trip it sounds so fun!

Do you like tuna? I love the tuna albacore packs and you can take them where ever u go at 3 weeks out it was my only way to get the protein in for me. My sleeve didnt do well with chicken. Also depending if you know what foods give u chest pain to stay away from them for a few days and try again or if its all foods your surgeon can give u prilosec u may have Gerd and that has helped me soo much with the chest pain. They have over the counter prilosec as well its just less expensive for me with insurance getting it from my docter. Oh and have you tryed the high protein yogurts that are like 12 to 15grams of protein per yogurt and only 2g of sugar those help me get my protein in as well sence i wont drink protein drinks ever again anyways hope things get better for you.

My docter wanted me to do liquids for 1 month then pureed for 2months then soft food for a month. I went rogue at 3 weeks and started pureed for a week then moved to soft food a week later...

I had same problem breathing in. So much preasure in my chest. Hiccups and yawning were the worst feeling for like 3 weeks. I did that air breathing in and out thing a few times a day. Diarrhea lasted i think 2 weeks or so then turned into constipation. Im one month post op and still hate drinking water its annoying.

Ive pretty much told everybody i was doing a weight loss surgery. My husband mentioned to me yesterday that on a conference call for work a bunch of people asked how my recovery was going and if im doing ok. I was like ooh u told them he said yes they ask how u are doing all the time.. all i can think is dang it now i have to be the ones that loses the weight and keeps it off just to prove it is successful.. i guess its alittle motivating knowing i dont want to be that person who screws it all up and does it all for nothing. WLS is not a easy way out what most people think. My sister knows a few people, personal friends who had a WLS and gained it all back soo i have promised myself i will not be one of those people. Im a month out weighing 209, day of surgery 237 so think im doing good cant wait to be under 200.. I hope sence everyone knows i had this surgery in time i can be more help to people who have weight issues. who can learn from what ive done and be inspired so to speak.. will see i have a long way to go relating to my first post above. I do kinda wish my family didnt know so much because some say its not them judging but them being helpful i guess but i feel like the way my family is there just super judgie with everything. Everyone asked me for the fourth of July do u want me to make sugarfree or some artificial sweetner lemonade slushie for u sence they were having the good stuff i said no im good thank you i just had 2 sips of my husbands it was good! I dont want to feel different or that people need to alter recipes for me. I had a bite of bbq rips wish i could of had more but new better. Before i did this surgery I hear from my sis that my good days looking good are behind me to embrace my (fat) body cause ill never look as good as i once did. I hate what she said and normally it would make me depressed and wanting to binge eat which at the time i did and was sad but because the weight is coming off now on the scale im using it to motivate me to stick it too her and show her i can be just as cute and sexy as i once was. Lol. Ive become more competitive with myself. If only i had a time machine to go back and change so many things. Did it done it, theres nothing i can do about it now. Oh well!

For the past month ive craved blue berry muffins... i look up recipes on the best crumb topping and you know what ive never even liked blue berry muffins!! Lol. Its my tastebuds craving those darn things. And figure when i get under 200 pounds i may just make some take a few bites and give the rest to my neighbors..

I ate 8 cheese its yesterday and a handful of cherrys with 5 60% cocoa cold chocolate chips. They tasted amazing and some weird way i still lost 1 pound this morning. I know i have to get back on track but kinda excited to feel alittle normal for once post sleeve. i cant wait to get 3 months out i gave myself that goal and will reward myself with the gift of being able to eat 1 piece of a california roll.. cant wait!

I am 1month post sleeve and stall for 4days then will lose a pound and stall for 4days agian. Its frusterating and doesnt help my mood. I do find if i drink the actual 64oz of water a day(water hurts to drink) and excercise 30mins jogging, swimming or some kinda sweating cardio i will lose a pound a day i just dont have the energy to keep up with that right now so im excepting my 4 day stalls to be lazy i guess. Lol.

I feel the same regret but starting focusing on becoming a new me hasnt changed my attitude much yet. (I dress better now tho, i actually where jewelry and put makeup on now that my face is thinner).I feel as if my happiness was taken from me. My happiness to food , my comfort my joy to food i havent been able to replace it with a hobbie or anything to help me feel whole again. My family was centered around food and feel like i always have a scowl on my face. I know i already had the surgery so theres nothing i can do about that now . The past is in the past and i have to move forward. Im hoping my negative attitude goes away in time but for now all ican do is stay on the path i picked. Many people recommend therapy or meds i know my therapist didnt want me to do the surgery so i kinda have to stick it to her when im 50pounds down then ill go see her. Haha. I cant go now she'll say i told u so. All we can do is look at tomorrow and focus on our future

Thanks GradyCat!

Im sorry to hear about your health issues you've had to go through. Congrats on ur weight loss i bet its not so exhausting watching ur grandkids i bet now ur getting thin and healthy.

Im 32, my mother says that to me as well that i will be glad i did this younger than her age. Surgery takes a toll she says. My biggest regret is because my 2 kids are under 5 and its a struggle takimg care of them and eatting good. Ive done the hcg diet twice in my life and lost 45pounds each time in 45 days. So i feel like i could of done the weightloss on my own without the surgery. My problem was getting upset in my relationship and life and eatting my feelings and gaining all that back. This sleeve i didnt do the research very much so losing and constantly stalling maked me regret alot. But at least my kids will grow up with a thin sexy mom rather than a fat ass one lol eventually!

Hi Biddy zz I am now 1month post op. Sad to say i still feel so much regret getting my surgery. Ive lost 27 pounds. I hit alot of stalls in the beginning not eatting enough protein and water so finally i have everything going ok im starting to adventure to new protein foods. These protein puffs from this bariatric store are actually pretty good with 21g of protein in 1 cup so when i go to the movies or i want to munch i put a cup in a bag and go to town. I need to excercise more i only walk to the park and back everyday and play soccer with my 5yr old. I guess i feel alittle not motivated right now which i need to get out of my head. Anyways i am doing 1 tbs of peanut butter in the morning on a spoon and that helps me drink lots of water then 2hours later i have a protein yogurt and for lunch i have a tuna albacore/ tuna packet. I need convenience so the packet that is just the albacore in water is nice and only 80 cal tons of protein and i can take it to go. I also have the 100cal tuna salad sometimes as well it just has alittle more fat and a few more cals in it. I have pudding in the evening and dinner some chicken cut tiny or canned or sometimes scrambled eggs. Ohb a d my favorite thing i have to limit is 2 sugar free caramel candies i will still lose if i only suck on 2 of them.

I didnt have my eyes blurry sfter surgery but My toes tingled for 2 weeks after sleeve surgery. It was hard to sleep and i wanted to hit my foot on a rock to stop the tingling. It eventually stopped. Thank god! Iam a month out now and i still regret every day i got this stupid surgery. Ive lost 27pounds but feel like its going slower than i thought cause in the past on the hcg diet i was losing a pound a day so frusterating. Its my fault for not doing enough research on this. Dumping i had alot in the beginning but that did get better. First week it happened everyday. 2nt and 3rd week only when my body wasnt ready for certain foods and 4th week i actually am constipated alot and wondering what i should eat that will make me go. Hehe so gross sorry to talk about. Things will get better in some sence of it all. Hopefully in a year we will be thankful we did this ****..

I tryed eggs a week ago and i wasnt ready for it ,pain in my chest felt funny and hurt so i waited a week and tryed it again and now my body is fine with eggs. I tryed making deviled eggs the other day grosses thing i ever ate post sleeve. The taste of eggs and cheese is funny tasting i dont think i will be eatting anymore anytime soon. I loved eggs before so hoping my taste buds change back eventually.

So i went rogue on my diet and feel so much better now. I am 4 weeks post op sleeve and have lost 25pounds. Thought it would have been more but thats my bad for not excerciseing everyday i assume. Anyways i added 1 tbs of peanut butter a day and lick it off a spoon slowly it has actually made me have energy to move i normally feel so weak and it gives me what i need to take my kids to the park. Having just protein gives me the low blood sugar feeling so peanut butter saves the day for me!

Oh yes waking up was the worst pain ever! Id say it was more painful than my c section recovery. I was crying and could hardly keep my eyes open and talk because of the pain was so bad. My husband kept saying to the nurse is this normal is she ok. No one told me all the BS. I didnt ask more questions i didnt know so much. The Docter said its minimally invasive surgery recovery goes by in a flash. I call BS! I regret everyday i had this surgery done. I hope to be one of the people on here that finally get to there goal and say it was the best thing they ever did. My fingers are crossed!

I had the same problem with protein drinks at 2 weeks i was starving myself and not losing anything cause i wasnt getting my protein in so i called my docter and i told them i cant do protein drinks and they said sorry just hang in there for 6 more days then we will put u on pureed foods early even tho i wasnt supposed to start purees untill after my first month. Soo i went rogue not saying u should by any means but it worked for me i started getting protein yogurt getting 15g in and there only 2 sugars i had 2 a day and started losing again then a few days later started pureeing chicken and used broth to thin it and added alittle instant mashed potatoes. I am now able to have sweet potatoes, tuna and cooked carrots in chicken noodle soup broth.. found out my body cant handle alittle mayo yet or scrambled eggs or refried beans so will try those again in a few weeks. I finally told my docter that i started my own thing and sshe said great as long as im getting protein in and staying hydrated she said congrats and they will see me july 8th for my one month to see how much ive lost. So im a happier camper now not doing protein shakes i wish u luck on ur weight loss journey..

Im so depressed right now and im the most negative person on the planet.. i cant seem to get out of my rut. Im only 3 weeks postop and regreting every day about getting the sleeve. Im sick of pureeds and not being able to drink water with my food. Life sucks right now and cant find anything positive to think about except looking up healthy snacks and meals on pinterest ill make in a year from now... ive hit i guess its called the 3 week stall and have been the same weight for 5 days now. My husband lost his job recently and have know idea whats going to happen now. Will we have to move in with one of our moms with 2 kids, 3 dogs, 3 cats and 2 turtles or sell and move to a different city after thinking this house was going to be our forever home. My husband has gone to interviews but nothings working out. Im assuming the worst like always and feel like i cant even be a good partner trying to hold him up with freaking out and dealing with my own negative funk. I dont want to go do anything. I feel like the tvs been my sidekick and cant break the habit. Im so sick of making my kids yummy meals and my husband doesnt seem to eat unless i make him food. I made him meatloaf and a cheessy baked potato with veggys and my mouth was watering and also had tears on my face. I just want to feel pretty and normal and dont know how. Sorry to vent it feels alittle better writing all that down for some reason.

Thank you everyone. Im looking into a fitbit or some kinda step counter i think that will help me with distracting myself with walking more. Im hoping everything else turns out for my husband and our family. Thanks again for everyones kind words. Oh and some one mentioned going to therapy. I feel like i cant right now cause my therapist that ive had for years and i love she didnt want me to do the weight loss surgery so i feel like she would just be saying i told u so. So i will see if walking more can get my frustration out.
