I so wish I'd seen it prior to surgery. I started at 335. This calculator puts my expected weight at a realistic 210. I was...
Hey there - the 3-4 week stall is absolutely normal.
This may help folks understand it. I can't find the research we all did way back about 4 yrs ago to figure this out but this is the rationale....
Syntrax nectar medical unflavored, mixes with everything and no taste
It was 5 yrs ago this month I started the process of pre-surgical weight loss. I weighed in at 335 at the hospital that first day. 10 weeks later I was ready for surgery, having dropped 35 lbs and...
I'm 4 yrs and 7 months out. I am one of the unlucky 1 of 100 who got post bariatric post prandial hypoglycemia, and then got severe gastritis for 27 months because I was not given the meds to help...
Be aware that some folks become lactose and/or dairy intolerant after the sleeve. If you have whey protein in your smoothie, or milk/yogurt in there, it could be a problem for quite some time. You...
Hi Rebecca,
I haven't stopped in for a while but felt well enough today to do so and wanted to chime in on this one.
I had my surgery 4 yrs and 4 mo ago.
I started at 335, dropped to 218 in 9 mo...
wanted to add, some states have enhanced ID drivers licences..those work, too. Washington, Vermont, Michigan, Minnesota and New York
I worked for the passport agency. You need at least a passport card to REENTER the USA....tbhey don't much care when you enter MX, but coming home is different. While some on medical vans may get a...
Okay. You've said you are certain you "can eat about 1500/2000 a day" but you didn't say how much you ARE eating.
If you are eating in that area, I agree, the majority of folks will never lose...
Hi - Sure sounds like your mother is expecting you to be the weight she wishes she could be. 5'4" and 100 lbs sounds dangerously thin to me! In fact using a bmi calc says exactly that, you are just...
Make that three of us. I did great pre-op and lost 118 lbs in the first 9 mo. Then developed gastric issues that ended partly with gallbladder removal and 3 yrs later I still have chronic gastritis....
Seems like things are on track with that amount of pureed food. Liquids will go right through, so you can't really judge by that.
You don't mention if you are avoiding drinking for 30 min or more...
I'm going to suggest you don't eat anything with artificial sweeteners. it looks like you are getting three servings a day of them. while they may have no carbs, if you are sugar sensitive your brain...
What's done is done, right?
So just do what you can to stay healthy during your journey. Eat/drink your protein. Move around. Drink constantly, unless of course it's 30 min before or after a meal....
I've been to 4 different nutritionists. Bariatric, Gastro, endocrine and naturopathic related. What I'm doing now is what all agree is best. Ideally someone with reactive hypo would eat a lot of raw...
I wear one for no blind ng tubes. I wouldn't worry too much about nsaids. If you are so out of it that you can't say you have a sleeve, they won't be giving you nsaids for pain.... I've never heard...
1. I keep reading about NOT sucking drinks through a straw only sipping, what's the point of this.
You will suck in air, which will hurt..and not be able to fully control how much you are taking in,...
I'm a vet as it were. I have health issues, some caused by the sleeve, that have made it difficult for me to have enough energy to be here - as I'm on another site for chronic illness as well. I...
MFP isn't always perfect especially on exercise but if the facts are right in the nutrition then you can trust them to add it up correctly.
Eating those two things you listed would give you 539...
If this were last year, and you had dropped 11 lbs a month for 4 months, wouldn't you be all kind of excited?
You're doing great :) It comes to about 1/3 of a lb a day.
If you go to the fridge and...
I'm still using nectar medical unflavored three years out to get added protein. If you can handle the sweeteners they use in the flavored nectars, they are good as you noted.
For the first 6 months...
Are you maybe eating different foods? Solid protein fills you up faster than the old mushy stuff from the beginning....
I think that eventually your body will decide what weight is healthy for it and if you need to gain back a few pounds it will happen.
I'd be more concerned with if you are getting all your...
Not as soon afterward as you are.. but I did have a severe lasting sinus infection about 6 months out. It took 4 courses of antibiotics to figure it out.
Our stomachs sometimes don't absorb the meds...
