Eating out

Amazon has cards to show waiter so you can get kids meals, but you'll still have leftovers at home. Sent from my moto g fast using BariatricPal mobile app -

Post VSG Hair Loss
brenda.vandruff@yahoo.com replied to Rey Rodriguez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lost alot. Then after time, I could see short hairs above my forehead. My combs and brushes still grab a lot. I have used shampoos and supplements that are supposed to help. I'm probably not getting enough protein again. Lack of protein is the cause. I am almost 2yrs post-sleeve-op. Sent from my moto g fast using BariatricPal mobile app -

VSG 1st month
brenda.vandruff@yahoo.com replied to Katherine Velasquez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had lost 36 lbs at my 6-week checkup. Another woman who had her sleeve done the same day had also lost 36 at 6 weeks. That may be a guideline for you. Liquid and soft foods, concentrate on protein, drinking before and after by 30 min, remembering your stomach can only handle up to 2/4 cup, throwing up, that all makes the weight go.

stuck at 50 pounds down
brenda.vandruff@yahoo.com replied to SoulGardener's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Your surgery was May. You',re at 4 months. It's 1/4 cup for the first three months. Then progress another 1/4 at six months to give you 1/2. You have two more months to go for that. 3l4 at 9 months. 4/4 at 1 year and the rest of your life. You should only be eating 1/4 cup every 2-3 hours and no more! My stomach barely fit 1/4 and I three up if I went over. I went to a class and had material telling me what to eat at so many weeks. You can find that online. My doctor told me, but you should find online that you start at 1/4 cup. Sent from my moto g fast using BariatricPal mobile app -
stuck at 50 pounds down
brenda.vandruff@yahoo.com replied to SoulGardener's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
When was your surgery? I read recently that sleeve patients should max at 900 calories for the rest of their life. I do know we are to drink then wait 30 min., eat until full but don't go over a cup, drink after 30 min., eat again 2 hrs or so later if getting hungry. I need to follow those rules myself. I would wait until I'm full then stop then work on finishing my plate when I had room again. That's not 2 hrs. My Dr has me at 60g of protein a day, since Day 1 of my surgery. We both need to stick to the rules. Our stomach can't handle more than a cup of anything inside it. Sent from my moto g fast using BariatricPal mobile app -
Almost 2 years post sleeve

I went from 249 to 163, which was lowest probably for a day. I am 181.2 today, Sept 21. I can't get out of the 180's. I have my 2-yr checkup and I feel so embarrassed. I fear that breast reduction is the only thing that will get me to goal. I went from 48 to 40; I should be feeling good about that. BUT I'm a 40-I. I want reduced to a D. How can I get out of the 180's? My Dr wanted me at 150 at my 2-yr, and I failed. Sent from my moto g fast using BariatricPal mobile app
