Buttermilk has helped my cravings 4 days post-op



Recommended Posts

The sweet shakes have made me sick and I can't even sip on them anymore. I've been craving meat Protein like crazy. My sleeve still feels swollen and a Popsicle definitely fixes that but the only thing that has tamed that craving for salt and meat is 2oz of very cold butter milk with just a pinch of salt. I only bought a small 2 cup container and after 4oz all my meat and salty cravings are gone. I feel the protein in the buttermilk is actually absorbing because my energy level is off the chart now. I have read that animal protein is absorbed by the body 3X more than vegan. My body just does not work off of fruit and shakes. I'm a meat eater. Buttermilk ice cold also feels good to my sleeve too.

Your a brave lady! I've never had plain buttermilk but my hubs likes it. I have to pour mine over hot cornbread!

I'm a dairy person. I love all kinds of cheeses and creams. Buttermilk is cold and feels good going down (in small portions)

I've just found another meaty beverage that feels good to drink. Carrot Juice! I just finished 4 ounces and my stomach feels great. No sugary junk bringing me down. I went upstairs and noticed my 91 year old mother in law (with perfect vision) drinking her daily glass and I decided to try it. It felt really good on the stomach and gave me the feeling of real food.< /p>

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
