When Could You Eat Salad and Crunchy Vegatables?
judyoz replied to ab123.'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was cleared at 5 weeks for anything I wanted and could tolerate. Have not had lettuce but had several raw veggies and they went well. I don't have many since I still get full with my Protein. -
1 week later and I am still waiting for insurance approval! ????

I am 3 months out and at the beginning I couldn't drink anything cold. Now it makes me a little queasy to drink cold liquids if I haven't eaten or drank for a while, such as when I get up in the morning. I found early on that it helps me to drink hot tea in the morning before I try anything else. It sort of sets my stomach for the day. I put my fiber supplement in the morning tea and I'm set on that front as well.

So today its been abit more than 5 weeks since i got my sleeve. i did not take my weight before the surgery itself, but i did check it 2 weeks before. at that time i was 168 kg / 370 lbs. the weight in my household has a max of 150kg / 330lbs. so whenever i used it in the last 2 years it just said "error" ( we used to laugh about that). i tried to use it last week and still got the "error" but it was fine. i didnt expect to fly down in weight. today i had this feeling, and decided to try it. it said 148 kg / 326lbs. at first i tought it was a mistake. so i tried again. then i went to my workplace ( hospital) and used their vastly more advanced one. still said 148. talked to my doctor. i had done everything right. so all in all great day. ive lost almost 20kg/44lbs in 6 weeks (counting from 2 weeks before surgery when i started 1k kcal a day). which is amazing! My family wants to celebrate so i think today, ill make my favorite purèe meal Tandoori chicken !

It took me about 3 weeks to determine my head hungry was real hunger. Nut told me to increase soup thickness slightly, it helped. I dealt with it until I got on softs.

I wasn't hungry after my wls. But I made terrible choices. I hate a piece of pizza 3 days after surgery. Weight was falling off no mater what I ate. 2 years out now and I'm having to get it redone or get gb. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Today is two months! I've lost 26 lbs. since surgery, 49 total. I "think" this is good, but I am always fighting a lb or two. Is this normal? For five or six days I will have a lb or two and will go up and down. I'll do this for days, literally before I will keep it off. I am wondering if I am not getting enough calories (I get 450 - 650 per day). I know I am getting enough protein, 65 - 90 grams a day. Maybe I'm eating potatoes too often. I have baked potatoes or mashed several times a week, but when I say this, keep in mind, a 'serving' is a TB or maybe a TB and a half at the MOST. Little if any marg., and my sour cream is a a creation of my own. I buy an 8 oz container of FF and an 8 oz container of light and mix the two. I use this instead of marg. on the baked potato. I've eaten pasta twice, eating mosting meat sauce, a third of a cup and adding a fourth cup of penne pasta. I have added 1% milk occasionally so I can up my calories, is this bad??! I am not sure if I am doing anything wrong of if I'm ON TRACK. Is this a mind game I'm playing with myself?? Any opinions would be appreciated!!

Hi I'm 37 with 5 children, and married. My main reasons for having the surgery was a health scare. I decided not to tell anyone but a couple of very close friends and my immediate family. this was due to feeling like I would be judged for my actions. The week I started the pre op diet I told staff I was starting a healthy eatting diet, which was true, I stated I was cutting down my calories which was also true. I feel that I do not have to tell anyone my business. The choice is yours who you tell, don't feel forced to tell people if you really don't want to. I've lost 28 pounds since pre op diet and my surgery on the 23/1/13. Good luck with your journey :-)

okay so i am almost 3 weeks post-op and still have a weight restriction of 15 lbs. and tonight my 6 yr old daughter threw a fit and i grabbed her by the arm and she tried to fall to the ground but since i had a hold of her i had her 47 lbs body dangling in my grip. Now my port area is in so much pain not even the pain reliever i have works. not sure what to do other than take it easy. i tried calling the hospital but they were no help.

The first few weeks the most important thing is fluids. You will get your protein in eventually right now you just need to stay hydrated.

Well I had lost another 11 lbs after the 1st fill in a month. I sure was surprised, I had been traveling and eating crab, lobster, lots of it! But now I've been home since and just not changing weight. Don't have enough will power to stop grazing along through my weekends. And when my roomie is here she makes me nervous eat cuz she stresses me out. So, today I decided to add a source of maintenance to my life, Weight Watchers. I can go once a week or more often if I need to take myself to a meeting to get back in touch with who and what is most important. ME. I have to do this for my knees and my health and my life in general. Focus focus time for me.

Pureed Stage Recipes
wildrose1966 replied to Krystle Austin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wouldn't be going too crazy in cooking and freezing for this stage........it is 'boring' and hard. My fav was buying a rotissarie chicken, throwing it in the blender with a bit of gravy ........ it looked nasty, had the consistancy of thick Peanut Butter (stuck to the roof of my mouth too), but after 4 weeks on liquid, it tasted like heaven. Chicken salad, tuna salad, chili in a blender, still ate Soups (added blenderized cottage cheese for protein). Mashed potatoes (do not make a staple), mashed turnip, sweet potatoe. I was on this stage for 7 days before I could make them more diced than pureed. Good luck. -
I made a post earlier this week but today is officially my 2 month surgiversary. I am really ecstatic with my progress so far and wouldnt change my decision for the world. i love my sleeve and would not change it for the world! i love my portions and i love losing 3 pounds a week. i love being able to work out and last more than 30 minutes. i barely spend any money on food now and sometimes i forget that its time for my DAUGHTER to eat because i'm so not hungry or just full off a shake lol.

Taking a Cruise ... help
Sosewsue61 replied to pooh6772's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went on a 10 day cruise 3 months out and had no issues with the available food on the cruise, I did not take protein powder with me. You can buy individual packets - like Jay Robb strawberry or orange and a skaker. I took some almonds and my Sip thermos. Three days should be very manageable. -
Just thought I would ask if anyone else has a weird pattern going. I stall for a week or week and a half, then loose steady for about the same time. Does anyone else have days that they have to force themselves to eat ? and when you have a day like that what do you try to eat ?

I am almost 3 weeks post-op. I woke up this morning with terrible vertigo. I've never had vertigo in my life. Has anyone else had this? I realize it could be totally unrelated to surgery.
