It's funny how things can change in a couple days - I had a fill last monday the 5th and really didn't try much solids till around thursday-friday (I had an inkling I was tight) - allright lets be honest - I knew it but wanted to believe that I would loosen after a couple days and then I would lose more weight and the world would keep going round (please forgive my self-rationalizing idiotic mind frame) come the weekend I really couldn't keep anything solid down and knew that part of my new 'healthy relationship' with food (in progress) was to be able to eat solids - we were not meant to live on Protein Shakes no matter how much Protein they have in them. SO - Monday I went in and they took a little over 1/2 of the previous fill out. I still feel a little tight but the NP said I would be irritated/swollen for a couple days. we'll see - so forgive my lack of posting.

Today:

B: mocha cheesecake Protein Shake

S: 0.3 oz pirate's booty Snacks, 2 hershey kisses

L: 1/2 c. chicken tortilla Soup w/ 3 saltines crumbled and soaked in it - about a tbls came back up (maybe the crackers though)

D: malted mocha cheesecake protein shake

kawasakichick: my new favorite way to make my mocha cheesecake shake is 1 premade muscle milk lite chocolate protein shake (i've also used high protein or optima slim fast chocolate shakes with good results - muscle milk lite nutrients are better though)

i throw the shake into the blender (today it was slightly frozen from being outside in the frigid air and it was even better) and add to it 3.5 oz (1/2 small carton) nonfat plain greek yogurt (i use fage brand), 1 tsp espresso powder, 2-3 packets splenda and puree!

i recently started adding 1 tbls malted milk powder (only 30 cal) and it tastes like a ice cream fountain shake. I also add 1/8 c. benefiber - i don't really need the Fiber for regularity purposes but my dr has always said even the healthiest people don't get enough fiber.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
