I eat popcorn just not a lot! Think it differs from person to person. Sometimes I can eat things with sugar and sometimes I can't. Shrimp is hard for me. But just know your limits. And I've had alcohol and gum I'm grown haven't swallowed it lol coffee makes me sick as a dog! Sent from my iPhone using VST

You look great! I had surgery the same day and I'm down 45lbs as well. I don't know how you feel but I am really discouraged. I know this was a transitional surgery for me and my highest weight was323 now 218ish scale moves up and down but at over three months out I was hoping to see onederland soon.

Are protein shakes the answer
QweenNique replied to Sharon7370's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Great question however it's complicated lol my nut has never restricted my protein per sitting because she advised that a protein shake will or should take up to 30min to and hour to consume and because its being consumed in a slower rate the restriction per drink or bar or whatever is in fact being absorbed. Now everyone is different as well a bodybuilder can consume 100 grams in one shake less than an hour they consume over 300grams a day and Proteins that are not absorbed can be passed out the body or turned into Aminos in some cases. It's hard to turn the excess into fat thank heavens but paying attention to the calorie and fat in a shake is important we need Aminos and protein when working out. -
Are protein shakes the answer
QweenNique replied to Sharon7370's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not true about the consumption of protein per sitting. It's not tossed and it depends on your metabolism. And a protein shake is yes a liquid but its also a meal depending on the cal intake. -
Hey loves.... What do you guys think about this?
QweenNique replied to QweenNique's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Sorry y'all I can't seem to add anyone so the other group if is successful would work. Sorry I tried -
This might be a question that has already been addressed several times, but i am definitely asking again.... I was sleeved April 9th and according to my team i have been doing great with my weight loss. Well I am three months out and am only 43lbs down, I feel like I should be more down. I battle with how many calories I should be getting. I was doing 600 a day but I moved it up to 800, which I am now constantly hungry so I am going back down. I work out at the gym so I know i have a calorie deficit daily. Could it be that I am not meeting my Protein goal daily? I just need a lil guidance y'all.... Help?

My hair is starting to come out! Ugh my doctor says it just happens and not to worry because its not permanent. Luckily I have a lot of hair. -
Thank you two for replying I know I need to just focus on my protein. I ordered my Unjury finally which is the only one I can tolerate.

How do you tell if your full
QweenNique replied to jd1988's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tomorrow I advance to the fourth and final stage and I am afraid. I don't know what to expect with increasing my calories or what to eat. Sometimes it's just easier not to eat. -
denied atena your not my friend :( surgery was tommorow called today and got denied
QweenNique replied to Bellanthin's topic in Insurance & Financing
I think it's the doctor. They are suppose to send everything in and get approved. Aetna wouldn't have contacted you the doctors office dropped the ball. So did the cAncel the surgery too? The doctor should have been on the phone with them working it out. -

Ideas for what to tell people?
QweenNique replied to BriDawn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was on a pregnancy forum that had them and honestly it's really not welcoming to have those on a site full of grown people. Just try not to take stuff personal. That's what I do. Even when you think someone is trying to attack you just say they are attacking your opinion and move on. Getting all worked up on forums aren't worth it trust me. I use to and my husband would be like babe you don't know those people calm down its just a forum. Just stick to your opinions and simply don't tolerate disrespect but don't get offended easily either. -
If you walk around it does help although that's when I was in pain the worst. My pain lasted a week or so then suddenly it went away. I stop the pain meds four days post op because they didn't do anything but keep me up.

I have been have trouble as well and simply no desire to drink it. I'm glad it's not just me. Broth is a liquid as well and jello is considered a liquid too....

QweenNique replied to BriDawn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omg! Opinions people that's all we are sharing. I don't mind disagreements.... Say what ever will make you happy. Not everyone knows I had surgery but if they ask I tell them.... Eventually you will be able to say diet and working out because this surgery is a tool it's still up to you to be successful. It's definitely not anyone's business why you were gone from work or even that you had an operation. I mentioned some people are embarrassed and said I was when I got the band however now I don't give a s*** what people think. It's just like me saying I did weight watchers I had a tool to assist me with getting my life (.) We all just need to understand these are opinions and opinions are what should be attacked and not the person giving it. Everyone is right in there own mind and I do believe there are people out there who don't lie they are usually psychopaths <--- that was a joke by the way lololol -
