- I am 5 weeks post surgery, feeling really good and doing very well with all the food I have tried. Slow, slow, slow, chew, chew chew :) I started at 240lbs, I am at 214 today and my BMI has gone from 41 to 36.7 -- no longer morbidly obese, just...
- I know how it feels to say "I CAN do this! My 88 year old dad has been here for several weeks visiting from Florida. He has been so supportive and makes sure I take little bites, chew alot etc. It's been pretty cute. We have eaten at home because...
- Hi, I have been taking the chewable tablets I got at GNS (chalky but not horrible) and will be running out soon. Any suggestions? Thanks. Kathy
- My first (other than praise from my hubby and family). I have lost 22 lbs since surgery on December 10th. Those who know I had surgery have said they can see it in my face for sure. A guy at work just told me "You look good, did you cut your...
- Yum! I had RNY on Dec.10th and today I start soft (puree) foods. Breakfast was an egg scrambled w/ 1/4 cup cottage cheese and was delicious! I went back to work after 8 days and have had no problems--just need to plan ahead to have my shake and...
- I had my one week check up today and I am doing well.. I have lost 10 lbs, am getting in my water and was told to cut back on my protein shakes! Didn't expect that but I was getting more than 80 grams from 3 shakes plus added dry milk per day. She...
- Hi, do you have any suggestions for surviving 2 weeks on full liquids? I am having protein shakes at meal time ( takes about 1 1/2 hr to finish). I can have pudding, cream based soups but can't figure out when I would have them. Can anyone tell me...
- Hi my GBS was Monday and came home yesterday. Feeling pretty good. Sipping 1oz every 15 minutes. Walking around the house. That's my plan for the day.
- Hi friends, Today Is my day. Got a good night's sleep.. I had a "clear liquids only" headache and went to sleep at 7 pm. Up at 6am and the hospital called for us to come in early so we are off. I can't tell you how grateful I am for the months...
- I am not doing well on my "lean and green" pre op diet. We had a Christmas lunch at work, beef and vegetables and.............peanut butter cheesecake. Yes, I ate it. I am feeling pretty crappy about it. Surgery is on Monday. Kathy
- Hi, My surgery is on Dec. 10th. For the next two weeks I am to eat "lean and green". Lean meats, minimal carbs, non-starchy vegetables and no more than 1200 per day. I almost wish it was a bit more limited. Most of the folks on here have a more...
- My bypass is scheduled for December 10th :) I was confident about my decision throughout the process but am even more so after my consult yesterday. I've known my surgeon thru work for several years (I work in a medical center) but never in a...
- Is what I have heard from two people. The people that know I am going thru this process are my husband and adult children, my sister, a close friend and two co-workers. A friend and a co-worker both said "you don't need surgery." Is it that they...
- I had my first appt. with my nutritionist yesterday. Boy was that eduational. I had learned alot on my own but was amazed at what I didn't know such as-- studies have shown that the first 8 weeks after gbs is a crucial time to introduce foods to...
- Had my first visit yesterday and really enjoyed it.....I had therapy in the past and found it enlightening. Funny thing, as I was waiting to go in a gal came in that looked very familiar. Turns out we used to go to Weight Watchers together and she...
