My nut put me on a 1400 calorie diet. It is hard for me to meet that goal. She also wants me to eat 25 g of protein a day. The protein feels me up. I have lost some weight. My next appointment is July 10. I was nervous that I will lose too much weight. I am working out three days a week. I waiting to see what she says on Jul 10. I am also logging everything. If I do not lose enough I am hoping she gives me more pointers on what I am doing wrong.

We had recital rehearsal all week, Monday thru Wednesday was regular rehearsals, Thursday night was dress rehearsal until about 11:30, Friday night was our first performance followed by two more on Saturday so I have been living at the auditorium all week. I made sure I had beef Jerky around and tried to make the best choices I could thru the weekend. I did try to eat a few pringles and those seem to be too dense, I might have gotten two down. I am sure I have gained a little cause my Fluid intake was down the past three days, I worked in the dressing room and backstage and just never slowed down. Having a down day today trying to get back in my routine of eating and drinking. I can honestly say that I truly missed my schedule of eating, I did not like not feeling prepared. I also did not like the limited choices I had when I just had to pack something in a bag, most stuff I eat now is prepared so fast food was not an option. All in all, it was a great recital, I cried watching my girls dance... We are taking a year off of dance and just doing one tumbling class a week starting in September. Three weeks until we go to Disney! Next adventure to get ready for!

I Think I Can Eat Too Easily
AllForMy4 replied to Njd1230's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Are u drinking plenty of water? I am almost 3 weeks out and I get hungry,although I thought the removal of Grehlin was taking care of hungry.. :/ I have found that if I don't drink enough fluids I get hungry more often. When I wake up in the morning,I require myself to drink 20 ozs of clear liquids before I put any food in my mouth,10 more ozs before lunch and at least 10 more ounces before dinner. This keeps me full and works on getting the required amounts of liquid in too. -
New Here & Surgery Soon!
SkinnyMommy replied to SkinnyMommy's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm in MD...I don't go on my pre-op diet until Nov 28th. I will have to do liquids for 2 weeks. -
I started eating salads 2 weeks out. I always eat the protein, tuna or grilled chicken, before I start the salad. You don't want to get full before you get your protein in.
-
Except for some fruit, my surgeon and nutritionist said no raw foods for 3 months. They are hard to digest and you don't want to cause issues since you are still healing. 5-6 weeks is too soon IMO.

Saw your new post you are fantastic! Rocking your sleeve girl!! Thanks for the input. I'm not sure as to why I have these three different meds but I will take them and hopefully they do the job. You're doing well honey

Info on the Marriott, please?
mrs.petethecat posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I am off to Mexico next week for my surgery. I was hoping some of the veterans on this board could give me some info on the Marriott. My husband is coming with and I just wanted to know some of the features of the hotel and room. Thanks! -
I'm new here and I'm looking for advice, guidance, words of wisdom, support.....I have a surgery date scheduled for 4/23 and since I found out two weeks ago I can't seem to stop eating. I'm eating more than ever. Maybe I think I need to eat everything I love now because I won't be able to after. Has anyone else gone through this?:confused2:

I just got sleeved Monday the 23rd!
beckyboop74 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
H all, I just got sleeved on the 23rd! I was released from the hospital on Tuesday about 5 p.m. It was rough going at first but I think now it was due to the morphine. I was so groggy and slept all of the time. Started taking Tylenol this morning and have moved around a lot today. Much better. I would stop taking your big boy pain medication as soon as you can because you will feel more like yourself. I am not going to weigh myself for two weeks because I know the surgery makes you gain weight. I do not seem to have the no hunger thing that people talk about. I am kinda disappointed about that because I feel like I could eat a horse right now. I am sure I can't but my stomach is GROWLING. I was hoping I'd be one of the lucky ones! Oh well, hopefully the restriction will help me. I'm taking it really slow! I wish you all the best! -
I was banded 4 weeks ago. I have 3 small incisions, left, center and right, with a larger center incision where the port was inserted. My port is on the right. Everything is well healed, but the incision on the left, is still sore when I rub my finger on it. Don't know what they did on that side, but it seems as though that wound is deep.

Being a nurse, I know how good it feels to be acknowledged for taking part in making someone's life better. Usual gifts we get are cookies, cake, chocolates, etc. I want to give something to the surgical clinic staff who helped give me a new life 2 weeks ago. 95% of the staff are banded themselves, so I don't want to take unhealthy food. I'm thinking fruit & veggie trays would be nice, but then again maybe something non-edible that everyone can enjoy (something for the office?) any suggestions? (Am thinking of a cap of $50-75)
-
I also have my surgery in a few short weeks, May 2nd and would welcome any and all suggestions.

What insurance do you have and how long did it take for you to be approved. I have a month and a half left on my 6 month insurance required diet and i plan on submitting the first week in June and I was just wondering how long it takes for the insurance to approve
-
From the day I signed my consent forms when my 6 month pre op visits were fulfilled, it took 1 week. I got the call 1 week later saying it was approved.
-
awwww.. What did you eat first? My surgery date is Monday and i'm getting really really bored of the liquid diet. I'm afraid I will be so sick of broth and jello by next week I won't want anything liquid after the surgery. Cottage cheese actually sounds good today and I hate cottage cheese.

I had my one week post op visit today
Comeflywithme replied to jessiquoi's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like me, I too lost 10 lbs and felt great! Get ready for the pounds to start sliding down, then a little stall at 3 weeks then down down down after that and feeling amazing and lots of energy! Best of luck!! -
Just got home from my consult and I was approved to have the sleeve! I still have to see the pulmonologist tomorrow for clearance, and go to an all morning or afternoon workshop and then we can schedule surgery! It looks like it'll probably be somewhere around the first two weeks of March! I'm so excited! Stacie

I'd like to re-introduce myself
hummingbird7 replied to hummingbird7's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thank you for the words of encouragement, KekeBoo:-) I have to admit, he first two weeks after surgery, I was exhausted when I would take just a short walk. I'm a therapist, so unfortunately I sit in a chair much of the day. My staff is starting to make jokes about how much I get up and randomly walk around the inside of the building several times a day now. As soon as the snow melts, my daily walks with my little doggie will increase significantly too. -
New from Snowy Vermont
greeneyez replied to babbs3772's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good luck Babbs, it will be the best decision you ever made. I am being banded next week and wish I had done it sooner. Welcome to LBT, everyone is very helpful and supportive. -
the things i was eating the most at 3+ weeks out was tuna salad, and canned chicken salad. They are very soft and moist and are generally well tolerated. baked fish is also a good one, or shrimp. black bean soup was another staple for me, i'd add in a little unflavored protein powder as well just to help supplement. You do need to add the meats back in to help get your protein ( unless you're vegetarian). Just start small, take one small bite of tuna, and wait 4 or 5 min. then try another. and chew it up really really well, this helps tons! Good luck to you!!
-
Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. I have a surgery date of Aug 5th! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. If I can just get through this 2 week liquid diet!

I'm a lost bandster....
feelinggood replied to butterflymackey's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My heart goes out to you. Since you asked I'm going to be honest here. First thing... get on birth control pills or condoms work too. Get some protein bars for a snack instead of junk food. Fix some healthy foods for a week and freeze meal sizes so you just need to reach in grab and microwave. Stay focused on your education. Very important for your future. Start taking D3 supplements (if that's what your low on. i take 5000iu per day). Try electronic cigarettes to quit smoking. They really work. I wish you all the best. Keep us posted. -
Belated 3 Month Post - 60 Lbs Gone! Pics Included...
Birdy18 replied to sarahcc's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You look AMAZING and thank you so much for sharing your story. I think it's really easy to get sucked into these boards (I think I overdid it the past few weeks), but reading the success stories and seeing such amazing and inspirational photos are what calms me and makes me think that I can do this too. Out of curiosity - you had no pre op diet? No 1-2 weeks of liquid diet? How come? Thanks again!
