The one thing I haven’t tried is carrots two. It’s pretty easy and yummy
Yeah I was told to do one at a time to see how I react to it. So far just had raw cucumber and it did well!

I do the calcium chews. They have lots of different flavors. I have the French vanilla caramel. They are pretty good.

Yeah, I considered those, but I really wanted to keep to one a day if possible and I think the chews are two a day right?

Yeah I’ve tried cucumbers also in my crab salad and zucchini and mushrooms I just get them soft by sautéed and then yesterday we was advanced so I can have more things like boiled egg and different meats. It varies by the weight loss facilities I think.. but my thought is veggies can’t be bad for ya 😂

Yea I don’t think they are bad but some people stomachs are not strong enough to grind it down and pass through to the intestines so u feel fuller longer on the raw veggies and may not be able to eat it small meals. But yea it is different each facility each plan. Even my facility has multiple surgeons and they have different instructions for their patients. Lol

Cucumbers would be a good start for raw veggies as they are mostly Water. I have been doing onions and peppers in my morning egg beaters. I cook them until they are soft then add my eggs. Haven't had any issues so far.

Tomorrow will be one month (4 weeks and 3 days) and the scale finally hit 20 lbs lost.

Of course I didn't get enough fluids yesterday and woke up with no energy and a bad headache. So today I'm back to just liquids until dinner so I can focus on rehydration.

I've been going to the gym consistently and I have a new foster dog who needs consistent walks So I think with all the extra activity I was not hydrating properly. It's just so hard when you're trying to manage eating and drinking and can't do both at once . So today I'm just going to focus on one thing.

And for you're viewing pleasure, here's a picture of my deaf foster dog Bluebelle. She's the sweetest! 00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200222194730363_COVER.jpg

Bluebelle is adorable, just look at those eyes and her big smile! That may be a good idea just focusing on hydration for a day.

Dogs! Those are 2 cute pups. I have 3 rescues myself. Here's the latest one when we first got her, Graycie, and her laying on top of her big brother, Bo, watching TV with me.

Awww they're all so cute! I have two of my own dogs and foster pretty much all the time. Kittens and dogs, and often the ones that are sick, need bottles, or extra work like this one who is deaf and needs to learn hand commands. It's hard but rewarding! I've fostered over 120 animals!

That's awesome! I used to foster also, but unfortunately, my rescue is a single dog only. He appreciates being the spoiled only child and doesn't take kindly to his love being divided. Love him to death!

Today was my first day transitioning to regular food and it went fine, no problems tolerating anything. I had a little bit of soft cauliflower rice for lunch. For dinner I had a skinless chicken thigh, sautéed yellow squash, and sautéed 'shrooms. As you can see from the pics, my eyes were bigger than my new tummy. I ate 1/2 of the chicken thigh, 3-4 bites of squash, and all the mushrooms. It was so good! I think I ate a few extra bites after I was full because now I feel stuffed. I'm going to have to slow down and stop when satisfied, not full. The plate looks huge in the pics, but it is a small salad plate.

@rene50 You did better than me. I could barely manage a chicken thigh. Definitely no room for any veggies. I had chicken breast satay for lunch. Four in an order, I could only manage one and a half skewers. That was about three ounces. I have lunch for Thursday and Friday.

      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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
