Thanks eveyrone! And Nina, I will try that recipe. I eat solid foods, but the amount is so minimal that I hardly think it accounts for anything. I read some "sample menus" and think "How the heck...

Thanks eveyrone! And Nina, I will try that recipe. I eat solid foods, but the amount is so minimal that I hardly think it accounts for anything. I read some "sample menus" and think "How the heck...
I have been losing steadily (50 pounds down!!!) and feel ok. I know for a fact, though, that I am not eating as much as I should. I take in maybe 300-400 calories a day. The problem is, I am...
I also had surgery the same day as you. I was having persistent, horrible heartburn and burning in my throat as well. My dr. prescribed Nexium twice a day and my food intake/tolerance has...
Thanks! Also, this morning, I took a shower and could wrap my shower towel all the way around me without flashing anyone! That was something I never thought about, but when it happened, I...
I have been on vacation for 2 weeks, and only been checking in on this board here and there. We got home last night. This morning, the first thing I did was weigh myself... *drum roll*
I have...
Pain subsides fairly quickly, I think the biggest part (for me) is the exhaustion. I get tired very easily and have to take frequent breaks. Just be careful not to overdo it.
I have a feeling that I describe as "pop rocks" in the back of my throat if I eat or drink something too fast or too big. It feels like tiny little air bubbles are hanging out in my throat. Kinda...
Thank you for the positive thoughts! I am almost 4 weeks post op, and I spend my days thinking of what I want to eat (when I can finally eat real food again). Good to know your energy level is back...
me too!!
My dr does not do post op blood work. :( If he did I'm sure he would not be happy!
I am on pureed foods, and it is tough. This morning for breakfast, I made a scrambled egg with (full fat)...
Thank you, Kaye. I will certainly tell him :)
Also, I try to stalk these boards as much as possible, and there is a support group at the military hospital here. Once we get back from blocl...
And now I'm sad.
I have been feeling really low on energy, and just blah. I am 15 days post surgery and just not getting the "hang" of my new eating lifestyle.
In total today, I ate 290...
I chose the sleeve after MUCH research. I know many people who have the lapband, and they either aren't happy or have gained their weight back. A couple have had complications with slipping, and it...
My husband and I went on a marriage retreat this weekend. There was a buffet for EVERY meal and as I sat feeling sorry for myself, I realized that I was THE biggest wife at the retreat. That was my...
My surgery was 100% covered through Tricare (military insurance). I had to go to a 4 hour seminar and a support group meeting all in one day. Then I had 2 vials of blood drawn. Psychiatric...
Although I have not been diagnosed with endo, part of the reason I had VSG was for fertility. I have 2 children from a previous marriage (10 years and over 100 lbs ago). My husband and I have been...
Is it gooey (for lack of a better term) or is it a hard candy?
Has anyone tried these? I am tempted...
I can't post a link, but I found some on Amazon under this title:
Protica PC15A Protein Twist 15G Protein Candy
I took magazines, any personal hygeine stuff (I prefer my own over the hospital's), pillow, simple clothes, and a DVD player.
*Side note* - Kelley,I am from Mckinney :)
My husband and I are going on a marriage retreat to San Antonio this weekend (fully funded by the Army!) Anyway, it's 8 hours there on Friday and 8 hours back on Monday. I am needing some ideas for...
Thanks to everyone! I will just keep on keepin on :)
I am 5'9 and started at 255. I had zero presurgery diet, only liquids 24 hours before. My husband thinks that could be the reason. I ate what I wanted until the day before and my body lost all those...
Although I am feeling hungry and sorry for myself, I have lost 20.4 lbs since my surgery on Monday. I have been looking through threads, and honestly feel like maybe I really AM starving! Did...
I am no help for this, except to say I am in the exact same boat. I will be 1 week post op tomorrow, and if I could suck the grease from a burger, I would do it. I have the "what-have-I-done"...
I am from McKinney, Texas (North of Dallas), but currently, my husband is stationed in El Paso :-(
