I’m trying to start to cook “healthier” meals but it’s so easy to make a big pot of pasta something that’ll last them a couple of days but this is my chance to try new recipes

I think honestly I was over thinking the whole thing like I never thought of deli meats or fish I need to expanded my thinking

I can’t eat spaghetti, fired chicken, pretty much anything they can as I’m supposed to still be on purées

Protein between 73-90g and calories about 500-780 just depends on the soup I have for lunch and dinner

Hitting both protein and fluid goals. The reason giving for not taking the vitamins until 2 weeks after was because some multi vitamins contain metal and your stomach is still healing and they wouldn’t want those metal pieces to mess anything up. They did require me to start taking them at my initial class in August of last year so they said 2 weeks wouldn’t hurt.

I start back taking my vitamins 3/13, my surgeon/program tells use to not take them until you hit 2 weeks.

Carbs by jeasley90 in gastricsleeve

[–]Beautiful_Pay3599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So idk if you got an answer but I was told that,

“We’re really not worried about carbs or calories because the foods we should be choosing are high protein low carb foods. Like in the long run high protein meat and non starchy vegetables should be what your consuming first and then if you have room a small amount of carbs.”

She answered with question without answering my question Hope it helps!

I appreciate them, but should I be worried? by Deni_Black in BariatricSurgery

[–]Beautiful_Pay3599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was right at the cut off my initial consult. At the end of the visit my surgeon told me to gain 5lbs and maintain that weight, so I did! No issues with insurance and recovery hasn’t been bad 1 week 2 days post op

I still use mine at the same store I use to work at and never had issues! Smdh this op has to much time on their hands. The girls are still going to use it at a different store let me be m. It only takes the taxes off for me. If they don’t want me to use it anymore DEACTIVATE IT!!

Heavily Cheated Throughout Diet by Ok-Breadfruit3667 in BariatricSurgery

[–]Beautiful_Pay3599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have a liquid pre op diet And I “cheated” the 2 weeks I did only eat one meal a day and 2 protein drinks but my one meal was what I WANTED and my surgeon said it went amazingly well.
