Topic: RE: Long term CENTRUM users

Im not to sure about "Centrum" and I know that was your question.  I have found this site helpful with a lot of my Bariatric related questions.

Topic: Appetite & Nausea

I'm 11 weeks out from surgery.  I was hoping I could get a bit of people's stories on when they started to feel less nausea and wanting to eat more.

I've had a difficult time getting the 60g a day of protein in for a few different reasons.  Dense protein won't stay down, plus I'm very rarely getting hungry and wanting to eat much.  I look at some of the amounts people are eating and I'm a bit boggled by it.

Today I managed to get 72g of protein in, but now I feel a bit ill.  My doctor would like me closer to 90g a day for the first year.  The only way that would be possible is to drink two Premier Proteins a day, plus meals.

My 3 month check up/blood work is on the 21st.

Topic: RE: meal planners

I've found sparkpeople.com to be practical and user friendly.  I haven't used the other sites people listed.  It also helps me track my exercise, vitamin intake and a few other items.

Topic: RE: Anyone eating Salad or Cukes post-surgery

I have incorporated some salads into my diet (2-3x week).  It's usually Romaine lettuce, with chunks of chicken, tomatoes, black beans and corn.  I use salsa as a dressing.  I have a very difficult time getting meat down, but this combo works for me.  I'm 10 weeks out from surgery.

Topic: RE: What is the ratio that you follow... For protein, carbs, calories etc?

I'm the same.  I have grains/starches 2-3x a week, most of my carbs are from vegetables.  I'm less than a year out from surgery, my calorie intake is 800-900 a day.

Topic: RE: How many calories should be in your protein powder?

Premier Protein has 30g and 160 calories.  Plus, my nutritionist asked me to start using milk instead of water which adds 80-100 calories to the muscle milk I sometimes use.  It sounds like you're doing fine.

Topic: "FORKS over KNIVES" PLEASE WATCH!

I was sleeved almost for years ago.  As you know we worry about gaining your pounds back.  I had gotten up to 200 & was worried about gaining my weight back.  Wife & I watched on Netflix "Forks to Knives".  People this is the answer we have been looking for.  The information was so startling my wife after the show empty out our kitchen & threw everything away that was bad. We went to the store & stocked up on the good stuff.  Her weight & mine have been pouring off.  We feel better than we have in a long time.  This movie will change your life.  No more worries about our health & weight.  After you watch the movie look up the doctors on you tube.  The education you will get surprise you. For example, did you know only 6% of doctors get any nutritional training in school?  Please watch the movie.

Topic: RE: Best of the best

you're bound to get 100 different answers regarding protein powders.  People's tastes are really different.  My two favorite brands are Syntrax and Unjury.  You might want to pick up some sample packets of different protein powders to find some you like - then you won't end up buying a huge tub of something you hate.
