Well there's always Peanut Butter 😂

OMG! *notworthy* *notworthy*

We are SOOO different! You had surgery 2 weeks ago and can handle nut butter. I had surgery 17 almost 18 months ago and "real" nut butter still gives me issues if my serving isn't tiny. I handle Peanut Butter powder fine though! Score! So I think it's a fat thing and then it leads to RH? Dunno.

But at 3-4 weeks out, I still remember the horror of trying both peanut butter and almond butter.

So glad it works for you!!!! Wooohooo!

YUP! but i think its because I'm acclamated to my forever diet & previously altered digestive system already.

Maybe my Team is just that good...

Although a big change has happened my body seems to be just fine. No nausea, foamies, diarrhea, inflammation or pain

I'll take it

Well that was an interesting calculator, thanks for the link.

Here's me, based on 5'2" and this morning's weight of 115.1 lbs...

(Its been said directly and indirectly to me that my weight is too low. This used to give me pause but these days I am ok with my weight and how I look. There are times I think I am getting too small, but I know - or am counting on - the fact that I will bounce back up a few pounds eventually. My weight loss has slowed down quite a bit since that first worrisome month in maintenance. I figure the weight loss will come to an ultimate stop soon as I get better and better at eating "regular" food.)

BMI = 21

Health aspects = you are "normalweight".

SBMI = 32/70

Weight stability = Your weight level is best if it remains stable.

Weight management? = This is no issue for you, luckily.

Nutrition =
Your current low-carb diet
Your weight is below average: Do you really need this diet?

THANKS! But my mindset was to totally pretend its not actually happening until the rolled me into the OR.

INGORING is bliss 😂.

Honestly I'm still in disbelief but not denial... I am however just so surprised by how quickly I bounced back. I thought for certain I would need weeks of not months for a harsh recovery

🙌🙌 Prayers definitely answered 🙌🙌

Okay so it says my goal weight of 145 (I’m 5’7”) is too aggressive. 🤣🤣

I guess there are benefits to being a more “mature” lady. 


Edited because I fat-fingered and it posted too soon:

I’m right on the cusp of the upper ranges so I definitely think I can stand to lose at least another 20 pounds.  
Lordy knows I’ve still got bulges that need to go away.

      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.
