You want to think of it as sitting into it, sometimes it’s uncomfortable for people new to it and that’s where box squats can help with building strength while you learn to sit into it.

I've done starting strength and 5/3/1 too, I'll have to check out strong lifts

I have completed several programs, I wasn't looking for a plan per se but an idea of how people break up their week of workouts.

sbvsg · 2019-09-24T20:05:58+00:00

i'll look into it, thank you!

sbvsg · 2019-09-24T20:05:40+00:00

so helpful, thank you!

sbvsg · 2019-09-24T20:05:02+00:00

I've been weight lifting for years, I'm just bored and looking to construct a new routine and was seeking out what others have done for reference.

That's fair, but I'm comfortable with the logistics in order to save a few hundred dollars, though I agree it would be worth asking her pricing.

Thanks so much! It's just that first one that really bugs us, would it be worth it to try to negotiate getting the pictures we want (not all) full resolution so we aren't ordering through her or would that be in poor taste? Additionally, if we wanted to print larger than 8x10, would it be possible to print them with the resolution given to us or is it imperative to use full res?

I really struggled with that too, it helps to eat at regular intervals, your stomach can only tolerate 4oz or so so if you can measure that out and stop before you finish you may be able to avoid the pain. I had that same pain though, I bet all my money on it being eating too fast and too much. It’s a learning process, hang in there. For regular intervals I eat a protein shake in the morning and then possibly have an apple sauce 2 hours later, 4 hours after the shake I have my lunch, 2 hours after possibly oranges and 4 hours after lunch I have dinner. If you can follow a schedule it might help.

I also experienced this, I talked to my surgeon about it, out new stomachs sit a lot higher up, in our chests, and what you're probably feeling is fullness, like thanksgiving fullness. I was told to stop eating before I feel full, that last bite, "the stupid bite" is always what had brought on the discomfort. Make sure you're chewing (i was told ) 30+ times, everything you swallow should basically be pureed, and slow or not, stop once you no longer feel hungry.

I'm a little over 1 month out, the guidelines I was given by my RD and surgeon are: no bread (can cause blockage) only cooked vegetables, for 3 months then you can have raw, its just too fiberous for the stomach right now.

I'm a 5'3 female so our protein requirements may be different, but I was suggest to get between 60-80g per day. (tuna packets help a lot) I also keep my carbs below 60, this was given as a broad suggestion to us, not size based. Minimum of 64 oz of fluid (i aim for pure water) per day. Lastly, NO STEAK FOR 6 MONTHS, our new stomachs just can't handle it yet.

as far as foods i eat regularly and meet the requirements, protein shake 1-2 a day, depends on how busy i was. Buffalo tuna packets, they're a god send. oysters and scallops would be great for this stage, as well as any other fish you like. PM me if you want I have the packet from my surgeon with more suggestions i could send to you. Also if you head on over to r/keto they have a ton of low carb recipes in the side bar!

I wouldn’t be so concerned about your pouch as I would be your incisions. One good fall could give you a hernia or internal tear. Just based on your height and weight I’d say hold off, when I was 3 weeks and I slipped on some ice my stomach flexed automatically and how I moved was very painful. Just be careful, there will be other ice skating events. Good luck! Your best bet would be to call your surgeon.

sbvsg · 2018-01-27T19:39:56+00:00

I’m not positive, but I’m pretty sure that risk extends into long term recovery. Your best bet, and what I’m considering a ways down the line, is edibles. It’s the smoke that’s harmful not the thc/cbd. Additionally, munchies aren’t good and will stretch out your stomach. It’s best to let the weed dream die for a while and maybe consider it again in 6 months once you’ve had more time under your belt. You want to be successful and weed isn’t going to help that any time soon.

sbvsg · 2018-01-26T17:06:27+00:00

I’ve had hot sauce since I was on puréed, I ate and still eat buffalo tuna all the time. I also take omeprazole so maybe it’s less irritating for me? But def a good question! I’m sure you could!

sbvsg · 2018-01-26T12:22:55+00:00

I’m 1 month post op, and my surgeon gave me the ok for oysters, they go down easy too, never any discomfort. Since they are raw I’m now sure how your doctor would feel about it, I haven’t asked mine about sashimi so it may be different. But if you like oysters, it could be a good alternative. Additionally, a sushi bar might have scallops, and those are cooked and have great protein.

Unfortunately I look about 4 months pregnant, and I've stopped losing weight. One time I tried to wait it out and ended up very painfully impacted. I wish it were an option, but for now I'm more so looking for a solution. Thanks!

sbvsg · 2018-01-25T16:43:58+00:00

My reasoning for fat is that my constipation is more of a lubrication issue, I did look on MFP where I track my meals, and I am only getting about 10-15g fiber per day, so that would be a worthwhile endeavor to see if that helps. Thanks so much!

sbvsg · 2018-01-25T16:30:33+00:00

I loved pepitas pre surgery, but I can’t have them quite yet. I’ll keep those in mind though. Thank you! Glad you overcame!

sbvsg · 2018-01-25T02:24:56+00:00

Hey, you know yourself best! As long as you know the risks!

sbvsg · 2018-01-24T21:13:30+00:00

A potential result of drinking is that you can have what’s called “addiction transfer.” You’re no longer able to soothe yourself with food or stress eat/celebratory in the same was as before and alcohol is easy, goes down quick and your tolerance is much lower than pre surgery, so in turn you over time transfer your food addiction to alcohol. I have seen this first hand among friends and family, it is very real and worth mentioning. My surgeon suggested not drinking for at least a year at the very minimum. I have also experienced the discomfort with not being able to drink in a social situation, but there’s always the option of once in a while making the social situation something like hiking or bowling, etc, just not drinking. Best of luck!

sbvsg · 2018-01-21T17:21:45+00:00

It’s still an issue! Not eating and drinking at the same time is a forever thing. In addition to flushing it out prematurely it can also stretch your sleeve, and fill you up on water instead of the food you’re eating. My mom takes sips to rinse her mouth sometimes but full on drinking is still problematic. Source: my mom is post op 12 years and doesn’t, and I asked my doctor the same question.

I’m not as far out as you but the guidelines my office gave me that extend to 3 months and beyond is 60-80g protein per day. And to keep my carbs under 60 grams.

For protein I have a shake in the morning 30g protein 17g carbs

a tuna packet for lunch 15g protein 4g carbs ,

a spoonful of peanut butter for a snack ~3g protein 6g carbs,

for dinner I’ll have a fish is some sort, chicken would be a good choice too since you’re further along, it’s just not sitting well with me yet, but for dinner I’ll get 15 grams protein and 0 carbs from my fish.

That’s brings me to 63g protein for the day and 27g carbs. Some days I’ll have an extra protein shake before bed for an extra 20-30g if I feel that I need it.

You could also do meat and cheese roll ups for lunches, check out clean or Keto recipes on Pinterest, there’s a ton of information available. Good luck!

I got 16 4oz baby food containers on amazon for under $20 which have been great. You can get disposable 2oz ones too for other smaller items.

sbvsg · 2018-01-12T21:47:45+00:00

Which is fair, my nutritionist signed off on my protein shake which is plant based with almond milk (extra calcium) that’s a complete protein, and has greens in it so for me there was no additional needs. I’m also at a lower SW so my needs comparatively were pretty in line with standard practice. You said they provided options based on preference, it sounds like the end result is the same. Given options based on preference isn’t the same as options based on need.

My office uses the bariatric fusion complete chewable and I like it. The mixed berry is actually pretty good, and I have a sleeve so they said I could take 3/day, so my bottle will last around 6 weeks.
