I'm similar to Tinman. I'm about eating real food, no low fat, low anything.
I eat a base of protein & use real butter, real full fat cheese, etc.

I also have a fitbit. I would like to upgrade to the Ulta that also tracks swim and has a display but it's $$$
I'm shocked you were able to eat that too. Did you eat it in one sitting? Or over the course of time?
I eat a burger all the time for lunch (i throw a costco one on the grill at home) but even 1...
Here we go again with all practices telling us something different.
My office said I didn't have to take chewable/bariatric after 6 months and can take regular.
Congrats all around!
Overall it has been a positive experience for me. I made sure I walked and walked as soon as I was allowed to in the hospital. I do think this helps you have a quick recovery. I'm doing things now I...
I'm sorry you are both going through so much. What does the surgeon say about how he is feeling? Are they giving him meds? Would it help for him to stay on soft foods or even liquids longer?
I bought vitamins and protein shakes before. That was it. My dr never wanted me to puree foods so that was a non issue plus the whole idea of that grosses me out. I went from liquids, to soft foods,...
That's awesome news! So excited for you!
Recently I was looking for an outfit and someone suggested lane bryant. I was like ummm never going there again!
Hi Glenn! Welcome to the group! Part of your post that really stood out to me was going on rides. I have a 10 year old. Last summer was the first time I went on rides without worrying about fitting....
every policy is different. 5 people here can have Aetna and all have completely different coverage. Good luck, hope you get approved. I had no coverage and was self pay :-(
Well, I suck at taking stuff. I probably stopped taking all vitamins at 6 months out. I just had my 1 year bloodwork and had not been taking any vitamins and am only low on folic acid and D. I was...
My sugeon told me being cold all the time has to do with hormones changes from losing weight. I dress in layers all the time. Even sitting in my house with the heat on 68 I often have on a thermal...
Hi Cameron, welcome to the group! You will find a lot of great support here! You got this! You're in the home stretch now! I started at a similar weight and was 300 pounds the day of my surgery. I'm...
I went through 2 rounds of pretty heavy hair loss over the year since my sleeve. My pony tail used to be 2 inches thick. Now it is as thin as my pinky :-(
However, I do have a ton of new growth...
To give you an idea of how much you can eat at one meal, It took more than six months before I was able to eat a whole scrambled egg.
Don't eat between meals and don't eat slider foods and weight...
Your sleeve is a tool, but you have to control the tool. Theoretically, you could snack all day long with a sleeve and not lose weight. But sticking to 3 small meals and a snack is the way to go with...
Best advice is to walk as soon as you are allowed to get up post surgery. And walk, as much as you can walk. I had a really easy recovery and I swear this is why.
processed food. anything not found in the protein, meat, or dairy aisle. the entire middle of a supermarket.
What are you eating? Has it been this way since you had surgery?
I hope your Dr has answers. I would try sipping broth and protein shakes.
totally normal. google 3 week stall.
And as long as you're doing what you're supposed to be doing, never worry about a stall!
slippers, chap stick, a light weight robe.
The only carbs I really eat are green vegetable carbs. At 3-4 months out I don't think I was eating more than a forkful of a carb. I was still focused on getting in my protein and just didn't have...
For the first month or so you need chewables. Ask your Dr what you will need. You can shop around. I found some were cheaper on jet.com
Best of luck to you!!! You'll be ok! I'm going to bet that your roomate will also snore. It's a great way to meet someone that is also going through the same journey! You're going to do great!
