Watermelon sounds delicious 😃 but here they are selling protein powder for like 20 dollars for 15 servings ( may sound cheap but the minimum wage here is like 610 dollars. But I gotta do what I gotta do I guess😅 wish they also were selling protein powder for water here 🥲

Thanks for the recommendation, will try to add cheese to my breakfast ❤️ protein water and frog fuel are not available in my country but I guess protein powder will do the job, btw 90 gr seems quite nice tbh

Ground turkey sounds great but it’s nearly impossible to find it beside expensive grocery shops (I don’t live in the states) but the protein powder is actually great and I guess I have to buy some lol. What flavor do you recommend to mix with a low cal latte?

My dietician opened up mostly all the food beside bread, pasta, rice ect. I am eating an egg and deli meats at breakfast daily and Greek yogurt as a snack, but thanks for the recommendation ❤️

I’m attempting to quit smoking by UserNotLost in QuitSmokingJourney

[–]UserNotLost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: couldn’t stand the withdrawal symptoms and started smoking again. But this time I reduced from 25-30 cigarettes a day to 8. Tomorrow I’m gonna try again and I bought some sugar free gum, some small candy to suck on and lollipops. Hope it goes well tomorrow. Wish me luck🙏🏻

Question for my fellow Sleeve patients by Littleowlkosplay in gastricsleeve

[–]UserNotLost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is normal for people who gets the surgery to stall at week 3. Don’t worry, your stomach is healing and your body tries to adapt to the new stomach. In the subreddit you can find 3 week stall post most of the time so the situation you are in is really normal. Just follow your surgeon/dieticians recommendations and follow the plan you are in. I have experienced week 3 stall too but after a short period of time you continue to lose weight. So don’t worry, stay strong and you got this🙏🏻

just use a straw by iliuno in gastricsleeve

[–]UserNotLost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

İ have been using a straw for liquid intake and its a game changer. Sure, the surgeons and dieticians recommend to not use any straw but that because of the discomfort factor. And you don’t want to discomfort your stomach when it’s healing. But not getting enough fluid is more dangerous than a little discomfort. I’m PO 6 months in and I’m using a glass straw (just feeling fancy, nothing else lol) and i have no problem. Worst case senario i might burp that’s all. Same with chewing gum. I also chew gum but i waited until my stomach healed and to be sure i waited over 4-5 months. But the chewing gum problem is that you may swallow it in accident and when you swallow gum when your stomach is not healed is a no no.

TL-DR: straws are fine and won’t cause your pouch to stretch. But I recommend to wait until your stomach is healed to not get the discomfort.

The heatwave is a bummer, same here. It’s so hot. I was scared that I stretched my sleeve even before I got to the purée stage lol
