I had a plan and I stuck to it! Food does not control me



Recommended Posts

Today is the first day I actually know exactly what I took in. I set alarms to remind me when to eat and drink, I counted and recorded my calories and Protein. Ya'll just don't know how huge that is for me I made a plan and I stuck to it drank my Water, boiled some eggs, went to the gym, carried a lunch bag that contained my Protein shakes, Jerky, turkey sticks, string cheese, ect. Enjoyed a veggie burger with lettuce & Tomato for dinner. I did not get hungry between meals and I did not eat anything that I didn't plan to. This is my life I'm accountable and I'm finally taking control.

Glad to here that. I am all over the place. The full liquid is difficult. I am not sure what to eat. So I ache been eat cream of chicken and black bean Soup. I take my Vitamins three hours apart. I'm luck if I get 16 ounces of Water. I really don't know to do about the puréed week.

during my liquid phase I drank broth, cream of chicken soup, tea, flavored water Jello, as I could tolerate a little more I added cream of wheat. It know feels like a lot right but you have to get more liquid in so you don't get dehydrated and end back up in the hospital. I'm almost 12 weeks out and just getting it together again. Good luck with your continued progress.

It varies but for the most part every couple of hours alternating between food and fluids... for example i get up at 6am I have 8 oz of Water to re-hydrate from sleeping, 7am breakfast(usually 1 boiled egg or scrambled), 9am (water, tea, or shake), 11am , 1pm , 3p, 5p, 7p after 7 I don't have anymore food or Snacks just fluids

      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.
