Food question?



Recommended Posts

So Im three weeks out - been trying different solids (doc said ok as long as i chew to the point of puree). Ive been noticing too lately that sometimes Im feeling hungry.

I get in my Protein daily - i get in my Water. Im trying to stay under 800 cals a day for weight loss - ive been snacking on dill pickle spears the last couple of days. I tolerate them fine - and theyre zero cals/carbs. Anyone else snack on them?

Dill spears are what I nom on for when I just want something to eat with no repercussions to my diet.

I'm not sure if you can eat these yet but these look pretty good and have some great stats:

8.2 calories, 0.5 carbs, 1.25 Protein per bite

My tummy doesn't like acid, but if they don't bother you, enjoy!

I thought my sleeve didn't like acid either. I was getting really really mild reflux, more annoying at times than pain.

I got some apple cider vinegar after reading about it on here - and it works. Mild reflux gone.

That fact that I have it in a shot glass, bang it on the table like it's a tequila shot is a whole 'nother issue.

Oh man do those sound delicious... I wonder if they'd bake in a toaster oven?

Can't wait to try these! My 3 yr old and I were enjoying cauliflower crust pizza before my sleeve. Never even thought about making minis! Thanks for sharing!

I am three weeks out also, and I am doing good getting everything I need,but I am starving all the time. I am sure some of its mental, but if I don't eat every three hours, I start throthing and it drives me crazy. I am already eating solids, just not meat. I am afraid I am taking in too many calories

Looking at your ticker you're obviously doing something right! :)

3 weeks out, that's a great lose. Nothing wrong with eating every three hours - I do. I don't get hungry, but I don't like the empty feeling I get either.

I don't really feel physically hungry except for first thing when I wake up. Every other time I have been craving something, it's been head hunger, which (so far) seems easier to fight than before.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
