If I recall, the reason for not eating and drinking within 30 minutes was so the food you do intake isn't washed out of your pouch before you get the nutrients from it. For the first 9 post op...
It gets better! You can do this. You are only a couple of days post op. It takes time to heal and get used to your new tummy. Hugs!
It's time to go back to basics. As others have said, ditch the soda. Clean the crap foods from your house. Maybe the 5 day pouch test would help you refocus? You can do this! Hugs!
I'm one year and a week out and am eating about 1200 or 1300 cal a day. My doc is happy with that number long term. (We share the same surgery date albeit mine is one year earlier :-)) In the...
I can't remember if it's stage 2 or 3, but I enjoyed reduced fat corned beef hash. One can lasted multiple meals. It was nice to eat something different. Best wishes!
My bariatric nurse suggests milk of magnesia. Constipation continues to be an issue for many of us unfortunately.
Many of us are addicted to food or have a bad relationship with it. Those problems don't go away after the surgery. For a while, it's harder to eat those bad foods (or to eat much of it). But,...
What sort of food are you eating? Maybe you should back down to liquid a little longer? It sounds like your tummy is moving the food and maybe it's not quite ready. As with any advice, you should...
You might want to talk to your doc. How is your thyroid? Since I started on this journey, my dosage has been adjusted several times. Are you getting enough protein and calories? How is your fluid...
Thank you for posting this. I've been struggling with the same issue and was going to blog it here. I'm working out but the old AWFUL habit of evening eating is creeping back in. I know the eating...
Congratulations!!
Hang in there. Do your best to follow your pre-op instructions and BREATHE! This time will pass fast. Welcome to the beginning of your new life. :-)
I didn't attempt raw veggies or fruit until the 3 month mark. I can tolerate many but lettuce and oranges are two that still don't sit well for me. Good luck!
Just be sure you are following your doctor's instructions about type and intensity of exercise. My surgeon didn't want us to do intense ab workouts for 6 weeks post op. It's wonderful that you have...
Refried beans with some weight watchers shredded cheese, hummous with unflavored protein powder, coco wheats with chocolate protein powder. Pretty soon you'll graduate to scrambled eggs. I also...
That's a wonderful compliment! Congratulations!
Yes, I experience more heart burn now. I'm a little over 6 months post op. So I take omeprazole a few times a week and am fine. Best wishes.
Congratulations on your great weight loss. It's a victory! From what I've read, stalling at the year point is common. (I had a 6 week stall when I started lifting weights in October). I have the...
It takes pretty good in smoothies. I've read reports that rave about it---since it's less fat and sugar than the real stuff. I've also read an article that says it's empty calories because the fat...
I like Jay Robb (unflavored and vanilla). Post surgery, my doc told us whey isolate protein only (no egg or soy).
I "think" I recall my surgeon saying something about all of the protein we take in doesn't get ingested like it did before surgery. With all of the cutting edge research being done, I trust my docs...
I'm exactly 5 months out and have been on a 3 week stall. I've started weight training and muscle weighs more. But I also realize that carbs have crept into my diet too.
SO, I'm back to basics...
Here is a quote "Symptoms can include rapid heart rate, dizziness, shortness of breath, fever, worsening abdominal pain, left chest or shoulder pain, abdominal distention, the appearance of illness...
Congratulations!! You look terrific! Hugs!
