some of the things on your diet are not good for you like vienna sausage but thanks for sharing the other foods, my surgery is on june 14th your video was a great help.
Yes, I had my gastric bypass in April, and I've lost 80lbs. What I meant by my comment is that we go through such radical change during surgery, and I know how difficult it is to change eating behaviors, but for me, anyway, I am committed to change and not having altered my insides in vain just to jump at the cheetos or other junk food again. I'm not saying it's easy, but it's worth the extra effort.

@selaina48 THAT WAS RUDE - THERE ARE SOME OF US WHO WANT TO KNOW WHAT PPL ARE EATING TO GET THEIR LOW FAT HIGH PROTEIN AND VITAMINS IN EACH DAY! THANK U FAITH,,, U SEEM TO TALK ABT A LOT OF TOPICS I WANT TO KNOW ABT,
Actually I am feeling like POO again now :( Yesterday was really rough. I am dealing with a lot of tiredness and nausea that strikes in the late afternoon and evening. I think I will probably make a video about it soon. I just want to be OVER this part dammit!!!
oooo...love the cheeze doodles and the dried fruit idea from Gerber Graduates! I looove cheese, but this seems like a better option, at least for the soft foods stage. I dont care much for the Vienna meat cans, but after I am on a liquid diet for a while and am craving meat, I'll eat them. :o) Thanks for all the ideas! I'm making a list of things for after surgery...my surgeon may not do the surgery but I am not giving up and I am trying to stay positive. :o) Have a great weekend! ☮
I take Celebrate vitamins..they are for bariatric patients. I ordered them online. I was having a real problem with vitamins...and these taste awesome! It is called Calcium Plus and it is Strawberry Creme flavored. I also take their orange flavored multivitamins. Every other type I tried sucked soooo bad...but these are really good!
Hey! -Yeah, I talked to my surgeron, which he is one of the top surgeons for gastro surgeries in the US. He said that the viactiv will go down smooth, and it has what you need in it. I have been taking them, and they are nice... He said we could, and Joe my fiance is 46 days out and has been taking them 2 times a day, and his calcium is right where it should be... and he prefers them over the chalky crap... glglglglgl
I am SO glad that I don't seem to be having any problems with that!! I love milk, and cheese and dairy products in general. When did you discover that you were lactose intolerant? Was it right away after surgery?
try os-cal chewable, you can find it at any drug store, I bought it at target, it is a lemon chiffon flavor and is sugar free, each chewable has 500mg calcium so I take 3 a day good luck!
I have taken Citrical Petites since 2 weeks post op. They are not chewable, but are made smaller and easy to swallow. I have not had any problems with them. I was actually on an antibiotic after surgery that was a larger pill to swallow than the petites.
chewable calcium... get viactiv, the carmel is awesomeeeeee and chew it up... those are awesome, Thats what Joe and I use... there are also chocolate, those are great too!!
You are one of a few people who recommended the viactive to me! Doesn't that one have calcium carbonate in it though?? I thought we needed the calcium citrate?
I will have to look for them. I am not sure if we have a Walgreens near by... but I would make a trek just about anywhere in search of some good calcium. LOL Thanks!!
Great that your feeling better! I never liked lemonade before but it seems like Minute Made light lemonade is one of the things I can get down. I can hardly get regular water down either and I used to love water.
Thanks so much for posting this. I feel like I've made a new friend! REALLY! Great suggestions, etc. Here's onle from me -- When you're ready for solids, eat the hummus with raw veggies in a bowl and get another bowl with melons and other fruits and just scarf on that all day and you'll actually LOSE not gain 3 pounds a day. Somehow it revs up your system like nothing else. . . .
Thanks for all the info and the tips on the toddler food. I don't know why I never thought of that! I have a friend who has a 2 year old and she eats the cheese doodle things all the time when she's feeding her child! haha She says they're great!
That sounds good. I think the issue I have with Crystal Light is all the artificial coloring! Crystal Light should make the same flavors without all the added color.
you got creative there! I'm going to have to get really creative here (in Germany) - nutrition labels are different - and there is MUCH more variety in America! Have a great rest of the week... :-)
Sorry when I heard swine flu and mexico I did think of you cause have not seen a update so was worried.But you are looking much thinner in the face don't take that bad . but all we get to see is your face so thats where I noticed it on you but keep up the good work ....Love all your updates...christine or sweetvalentine3 pre-op
I know I should totally get more creative with my videos and show more than just my face.... maybe I will try that at some point. lol BUT, thank you for noticing that my face is thinner!! I think I have noticed that too.
Thank you for your suggestions...very helpful! You dont need make up you have a natural beauty the rest of us just wish we had!
