August Sleevers Check In

[angieprks 19]

I loved egg salad but haven't been able to tolerate eggs yet I have been making the SF FF butterscotch pudding and mixing in with it the unflavored Unjury Protein powder... that has been my savior I get my protein and satisfy that sweet craving. I have been playing around with things. My favorite so far is beef stew in the crock pot. YUMM

Devine MissM, I am still on Protein Shakes and I'm sick of them. So your dr said you can eat egg salad? I am dying to eat something else. I start puree food next Saturday.

[DevineMissM 59]

Yes, I can eat fish, tuna salad, and hot Cereal too. Next week I cans eat ground chicken and soft foods like those from a crockpot. I must say I do have to eat small amounts and very slowly.

I was in the 15th lost 18lbs the first week. Then it slowed to mere ounces a day. Now it's 12 oz to a lb again in my 3rd week. At one week out the Dr ordered me to eat soft foods and that's what caused it for me. I wasn't getting enough calories and blacking out. I started at 220 now today I'm at 195

Wow! Good loss numbers. Mine is coming off slow, but I'm happy the scale is moving. I haven't had any kind of loss like yours... 18 lbs is mind boggling.

[DevineMissM 59]

I haven't lost anything since I went to the doctors. Still not moving my bowels like I think I should be so today I took some Fiber. Anyone else have any suggestions. I hope that's the issue.

I'm 1 month post-op on week 5 of my eating plan, still soft foods. I just don't know how many calories I should be getting in. I'm doing good to get in 500-600 a day. I haven't lost any weight this past week and it is a little discouraging. I'm too tired to get any exercise in, take naps daily. However, I did have something wonderful happen this week. I had my blood pressure taken. I was concerned since I haven't taken any bp meds since my surgery. It was 117 over 78!! What!!! I don't not have to take any more bp meds already!! Plus diabetes symptoms are all gone!! The number on the scale doesn't seem to matter as much when I get news like this!!

So I'm 9 days post op. All together I've lost 20 pounds. My doctor said I have to be on liquids for 3 more weeks. The creamy Soups are ok, I haven't had much of an appetite. But glad I can eat more than just broth.

I'm much better emotionally. Looking forward to chatting with you all more and learning from each other's experiences.

I will be 3 weeks post op and have lost a total 18 lbs since my surgery. I am so happy with that lost. Today I have made it to my first goal. I have 9 lbs to go to reach my second goal. Thank god I feel great. I do get a little bummed when I go to friends and family get together because it always seems to be around lots of food. But I stay positive knowing that I'm losing this awful weight. I no longer have to take blood pressure medicine. So happy about that and excersice is much easier than it used to be. I have had some Constipation but I know have 1 cup of Decaf every morning and it seems to be helping. Prayers for everyone

Good Luck!! I return to work tomorrow and I'm in the same boat. No one knows I had wls. A few of my co workers know I had surgery and I'm on a restricted diet but that is it.

I hope your day went well. Chin up

I just had my coworkers tell anybody who asked about me while I was out. That I have had surgery. I'm working from home for 2 months too thank god. But I don't care what people think. I did this for me not for them

[DownPat 14]

I told people at work that I was having surgery, just not what kind. People haven't really asked and I haven't offered. Those that did ask... I just said, on my abdomen.

[tabithacool66 17]

I never told mine but guess what they all knew... Small town gossip
