Topic: RE: Over a month now
Around 7AM, for breakfast I usually have a protein shake, now with a half a banana and 1/2C skim milk blended in.
Snack - 4 oz. weigh****chers yogurt with 1/2 C sliced strawberries around 10.
Lunch is chicken or tuna salad, about 1/4C, plus a slice of cheese; or 4 small "mini-quiche" bites (see eggface's blogs on this site); or a scrambled egg and piece of cheese and one slice of pre-cooked bacon.
Dinner is similar to lunch, but I was told by my NUT to eat more veggies so now I start with 1/4C vegetable soup. Also started to put deli turkey (1 oz.) on 1/2 of a whole wheat wrap, drizzled with some non-fat raspberry salad dressing with a couple of lettuce leaves.
Snack after dinner is a protein shake, or a frozen protein/ice milk shake with fruit mixed in (see also eggface's blog), or a SF jello pudding with a tablespoon of unflavored protein mixed in.
Also during the day I mix up 20 oz. of water with a scoop of Strawberry Unjury powder and a single serve packet of crystal light lemonade for an extra 20 grams of protein as I sip my water.
The only things I have been sick on are pills that got stuck - twice. Threw up foamies and was sick for about 1/2 hour. Haven't tried either fried stuff or sugar. Don't want to test the limits.
Have eaten in restaurants - quiche one time (ate the top - ate a little too much); a shrimp scampi appetizer the other time - ate about half, husband finished the rest. Ate 3 bites of salad from his plate with no problems.
Don't drink with meals. Just came off a two week stall with no loss, then lost 6 pounds in 5 days. Go figure.
Total calories range from 650 to 950, usually around 800. I get anywhere from 70-100 grams of protein (need 78 per day) according to NUT, try to stay between 60-80 carbs and watch the fat in stuff.
Just cleared for exercise and do either water aerobics, pilates or weights every day now (for the last week.) I feel great and am thrilled that this surgery is working although it is never fast enough, is it? Previously during a two week stall I would have cracked open a bottle of wine and ordered pizza; neither of which are options now.
Down 15 pounds prior to surgery and 26 since (approx. 6 weeks) for a total of 41 pounds so far. Down 2 pants sizes - 3X (22/24) to 1X (18), which are now getting big on me. Good thing I clothing in every size available!!
Love this forum and reading about where everyone else is. I'm setting no goals, just following directions and sitting back to enjoy the ride!

Topic: RE: Just Obese!!
Congrats on your loss too...
I am doing great. I eat about 1/4-1/2 cup a meal depending on what I am eating. I am eating chicken, ground beef, tuna mostly with some veggies and some fruits. Soda will NEVER again be part of my life, I said goodbye to it in March and don't even miss it.

Topic: RE: What's Wrong?
This is just my suggestion, check with your NUT or Surgeon to verify.
I am taking 2 multi vitamins a day (normal does is one but because of our re-routed systems we are not the normal adult)
I noticed that your not taking any Iron that might help. What is your total protein intake for the day? My NUT says I need at least 70g so you might need to up that amount (if you go to some of the boards like the RNY they will say you should be at 80 to 100g per day
Just an FYI I also take
1 B12 Sublinqual 2500mcg per day
2 multi vitamins
3 Tender Iron (from vitalady.com) there chewable
1 vitamin C 500
2500 Calcium Citrate not carbonate\
5000 vitamin D3 (now I already knew before surgery I was low on Vitamin D)

May have to check for dehydration. I've been like that for the past week. I've had a very busy schedule the last month and I don't think I''ve gotten in what I needed while doing the liquid diet....I have to sit down and catch my breath while expending little energy

Topic: What's Wrong?
I have been really weak and tired lately, I'm not sure what it may be...maybe I should up all my supplements. This is what I'm taking on a daily basis:
2 600+D caltrate calcium
2 500 mcg B-12
8-16 oz of protein
1 centrum multivitamin
I push for 64 oz water but dont quite get it in...maybe 47oz

Topic: RE: Over a month now
I totally LOVE that I don't enjoy food anymore!
Makes eating so much less important (other than because I need it to live).
All of the things I enjoyed before, are things I have no desire to eat now...weired huh?
I want/crave the things my body needs to live (protein chicken & tuna mainly).
It is truly amazing in the last two month's I have not once craved a Dr Pepper! And before I had to have Dr Pepper in my veins to function!
