Topic: RE: Four weeks post-op - how many calories?
For some reason the search feature isn't working for me (I use my phone - I have no computer). I know the dietitian has recommended 60 g of protein - which I'm no where near... Just wondering how many calories you consumed one month post op (starting soft foods tomorrow), if you infact counted calories.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Topic: RE: Does IBS go away or make it worse
I have...or should I say had it. I'm three weeks post op and so far so good. I used to be in the washroom 5+ times a day (yeah, TMI) and now the opposite. I originally wanted VSG but my surgeon assured me that IBS involved the colon and not the intestines. As a result, my provincial health care wouldn't cover it. I chalk it up to a change in my diet. We'll see how that changes as my diet increases.
Topic: RE: Calorie Free Walden Farms
The marshmallow type thing and apple butter went in the garbage. The chocolate sauce and BBQ sauces weren't bad. The BBQ sauces were on the runny side but good for dipping.
Topic: RE: did you feel like eating after surgery?
I am 2-1/2 weeks out and have no desire to eat. The most protein I've taken in is 36g. If I don't log what/when I eat I forget. One day I forgot and only ate a 35 cal yogurt.

I did the same thing. Definately a motivating tool. I'm starting my preop Optifast shakes next week for my upcoming surgery. So excited to finally move those marbles. Congrats to you!
Topic: RE: Bikram Yoga
I am pre op and haven't done Bikrim in a year. I stopped because of a pre-existing back issue that was bothering me too much. I hope to start back up after surgery I absolutely loved it but have nothing to compare it to since its the only yoga i have done.
