Recommended Posts

I'm new here, almost 3 years out with my VSG. Did great, then got on Cymbalta for anxiety and boy did it mess my eating up!!

Anyway I'm back on the wagon and figured I need some My Fitness Pal friends to help keep me accountable! My ID is astephens1221

Thanks and hope to befriend you soon!! ~Amanda

Wow, 3 years out. Would love to hear your struggles and inspiration.

There is a thread HERE which has a TON of MFP users.

Welcome to VST!

BTW, I'm Pdxman there, too, but I have to admit I don't track that much since I got to goal ... ;)

Nice to meet you! I have to say its certainly been an adventure! It's absolutely without a doubt the best thing I ever did for myself! The past year I have found myself at times reverting back to bad habits, but over all it's still a day by day conscious effort I still have to make. My next goal is to start exercising again now that it's warm outside (finally!)

How about you? How far out are you?

I will be 2 years on July 8th. It has been an incredible journey, for sure. I have to say I don't worry too much about what I eat after I have my base, balanced nutritional needs met.

I'll have a yogurt and banana for Breakfast. About 8 oz of one of a great varieties of Soups I make: turkey chili, veggie chicken, smoked ham and bean ... many others. For dinner I'll have a salad with tuna or chicken. I will snack on some CheeseIts occassionally and have a bowl of ice cream a couple times a week. I have been able to maintain for one year now with this routine. I have found what works for me. I think that is the most important thing. Find a routine that is doable for you which doesn't feel like a diet. That is not why I got sleeved ... to be on a diet the rest of my life.

I love my sleeved life and everything it has helped me achieve.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
