I'll start! I just bought jeans almost two weeks ago and they are already getting baggy....think I might need to sport the mom/ boyfriend jean look for awhile

hahha! thats funny, wow you went down a lot in your feet! Just means its shopping time!

awwww bummer, I had turkey meatloaf the other day, it was very soft and so tasty. I only ate 1oz of it and felt so satisfied, or cottage cheese and peaches. I also heard some make deviled eggs, I havent tried this yet but its on my meal plan for the week

same! I am on soft foods as well, and I found that if I eat the soft chicken or turkey. I eat 1oz I feel so satisfied for a long time too. So I think incorporating those protein rich foods will help us.

YES!! I feel like I am starving sometimes.

I would reach out to your dietician. Did you get a booklet or something that showed all the stages?

yasss!!! amazing!

Oh then you know then HUGE valentines heart See's Candy box I received! LOL The scotchmallow was calling me yesterday! so I ate a bite and my taste buds were dancing! I love the lemon truffles!

my hubs got me a HUGE heart full of See's Candy. Omg! if anyone knows See's Candy, It is the best! I ate a bite of one chocolate and it was AMAZING and just enough. I gave the rest to my son. were gonna have chocolate for awhile in our house!

dupe

that is THE BEST thing to happen!!

yay!!!! I am so glad you went through with it!! I am able to tolerate it all too! we got lucky! just track track track and drink that water is what I tell myself! Definitely lets keep talking would love to hear you experiences!

Hi all! Me again! Wednesday I am 3 weeks post op! I think I have the food down and just trying to figure out when I can do more than just walk my dog lol

I have a F45, I tried OT and it was okay just hate the rower. But i might have to try Crossfit

Just wanted to come back after I had my surgery! I healed up well, I am walking everyday, already down 2 pants sizes, I have more energy, my kids are happy to have a mom that is happier, my husband is happy to have his confident wife back who slowly starting to love herself again. Is this hard? F*%$ yes!! The discipline to not eat junk food or overeat is a mental game. But I meal prep, I track and my dietician is probably annoyed with me I email her all the time LOL. But my life is much easier, I wake up with ease, not hurting as bad, and excited to get up get some cute clothes, do my hair and makeup. I know my experience isn't like everyone's but I am so happy I did this!

ahh okay, my discharge paperwork told me not to lift anything more than 20lbs for 2 weeks but I lasted only a week since I have a toddler and he's 30lbs. Of course I am careful, I would like to try get into a good work out routine. Do you like crossfit?

I am 26lbs since surgery and I can definitely tell! my double chin is almost gone hahah!

I am now on soft food, I meal prepped some lunches but getting my protein seems way tougher than just drinking shakes. I have the isopure lime mango mix in for 20g. I want to be able to eat food since it’s going to be more sustainable but how did you guys get it all in?

It’s temporary the macros go up once I hit other stages, I can’t imagine myself eating this little the rest of my life. Lmao! And my sex hormone does not need to be played with if anything now my libido is like how I was when I was a teenager. My guy isn’t complaining 😂 I think I need to set up an appt to go over what I’m eating with my dietician because the whole point of this surgery for me was to be healthy not just thin. Thank you for your insight! 💜

So my targets are 60-80g of Protien Less than 40g carbs and less than 15g of fat. So I think I need to re-evaluate my food choices. It’s a learning curve lol

This was my day today; 2 mini ham frittatas, I made a protein shake, had isopure protein powder in my water, 1/2 of a ricotta bake and dinner I had .5oz of pot roast meat, one baby carrot and a bite 1/4 of baby potato. macros: 662 cal 40g carbs, 89g protein 16g fat Am I doing this right? Lol I really don’t know. I’m terrified of gaining weight

Okay! It’s nice to know that I’m supposed to eat! Have you tried the quest chips?

This is great! I am up at 430 so I make sure to drink my first 32oz of water but 7ish I know I need to eat because I can tell I get tired. This is great! Thank you. Just wanted to make sure that I was doing this right! I overthink all the things 😂
