frustrated, stalled, and lost
heatherdbby replied to heatherdbby's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I agree so much with this. I really think my dietician isn't thinking this through and I feel like 1300-1500 is probably where my basal rate is and that isnt not going to let me get any where weight loss wise -

my salt intake has always been limited because my mother was restricted sodium per her doctors for various medical conditions, so we still use salt free condiments and seasonings. I probably could add more salt in for sure -

What am I doing wrong?
heatherdbby replied to heatherdbby's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

So I don't use sugar in anything. I dont drink coffee, all of my sugar literally comes from greek yogurt, fairlife milk, ect. I don't use sugar. I just wish I could figure out what food to add because she thinks my body is in starvation and thats why I need to bump them -
Low bp/ orthostatic hypotension
heatherdbby replied to Krasavitza's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
im six months PO and it started in january, it is starting to resolve and happen less often now. but I don't know if its because I have focused on upping my fluid intake or if its because its just naturally resolving -
Best protein bar?
heatherdbby replied to loridee11's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
i use either built bars or pure protien bars. i get built bars from sams bc they are expensive, and i get boxes of pure protien at walmart or singles from gas stations and most regular grocery stores. I also have gotten quest from convenience stores in a pinch -

RNY instead of VSG
heatherdbby replied to BypassTheBS's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
fingers crossed for you! not that I would ever wish that someone would find something medical wrong with them, i will say that the EGD is what did it for me. I wanted to do sleeve, but I showed silent reflux and ulcers from it on my EGD so def would have had more GERD after. Now that I am almost six months out from RNY I am super happy with my choice. -
Our surgeons office requires for everyone, regardless of sleeve or bypass, that you only consume half of a protein bar per meal, and a total of one bar max per day. I haven't seen anyone else have that requirement.. is my office the lone wolf on this?

PROTIEN BARS AND YOUR PLAN
heatherdbby replied to heatherdbby's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
right, i do it with a fruit for breakfast bc its the easiest thing and with having half it makes sense to have it with the fruit. if i could just eat a whole and thne move the fruit to another meal that would be great -
PROTIEN BARS AND YOUR PLAN
heatherdbby replied to heatherdbby's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
right. im more likely to dump from fat than sugar or carbs. and my frustration today was over a built bar.. which is under 20 carbs, low fat, low sugar, 17 of protien.. -
PROTIEN BARS AND YOUR PLAN
heatherdbby replied to heatherdbby's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
they also do all things in moderation except caffiene and carbonation. but they seem to harp so hard on dumping (which i think is ridiculous considering it only happens to like 1 in 25 people) so i was wondering if it could be to prevent dumping from carbs -
What do you put in your coffee?
heatherdbby replied to kla7403's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
where are you finding decaf cold brew???? But, most people mix cold brew with a protien shake. I do hot decaf coffee with a collegen creamer. but dont mix collagen in cold it doesnt blend well -

PROTIEN BARS AND YOUR PLAN
heatherdbby replied to heatherdbby's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
yeah so we don't have to have protien bars, but if we do we can only have half at a time, and a max of one total bar per day. Everyone I see that eats a bar, eats a whole bar as a meal, which we can't do. which is mind blowing to me -
As I am losing weight, my office chair at work is rather painful. I got an egg crate cushion but it hasn't helped much. What are you using??

Cruising after surgery
heatherdbby replied to heatherdbby's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
which cruise line is your SO's preference? -
yes! our last class before surgery is when they told us the position you feel being full in will change to being in your chest. for me it was like right behind my sternum def slow down on taking bites, i know thats my hardest part too!!

im almost 6 months out and my hair just started thinning now. I take bioten daily and collegen a few times a week (when I remember it) Talk to your hair stylist, and I would avoid dying your hair for atleast 6 months if not a year after surgery to give it time to do its thing.

I am making a list to auto order monthly with sams. I have protien shakes, protien bars, tuna packs, zero sugar lemonade, zero sugar vitamin water, mini bell peppers, and pulled chicken. What else do you get monthly?
