Guest guest Posted May 23, 2000 Report Share Posted May 23, 2000 a, I still have to carry things around with me because I get hungry so quickly!!!! I usually take a sippy bottle with water in it or if I am at the grocery store I just grap one and pay for it on my way out!!!! I always keep crackers or some other snack in my purse. Can't believe in church last Sunday I even had to get in my purse and eat a cracker during the service, twice!!!!! If I don't eat I feel queezy!!!! Still though it is worth it!!! I keep a roll of tums in my purse at all times too. I am 4 &l/2 months post op. in Missouri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2000 Report Share Posted May 23, 2000 a, My surgery was Jan 10, 2000. I take my vitimins and other stuff at home. At surgery I weighed 242 lbs and now I am 169 lbs. Have done really well, but I sure still eat a lot. Seems like I eat all the time!!!! The only thing I take when I go out for a few hours is my water bottle with sippy top/ crackers of some kind and my tums!!! That's it!!!

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2000 Report Share Posted May 23, 2000 Hi, I'd like to know how you transport all your powders and meds, especially in the beginning. I mean... you gotta get out of the house sometime, huh? Would baby food jars work? or do you have a better idea? Do you carry around a little cooler for your juices and yogurts? a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2000 Report Share Posted May 23, 2000 << how you transport all your powders and meds, especially in the beginning. >> a, I used the little 2-ounce Tupperware cups with the caps on them...and I also used the one-cup Tupperware cups (from years ago; don't know whether they still make them). That's how I take yogurt, applesauce, cottage cheese, etc. For liquids, I usually put it into a small juice bottle or water bottle with a sucker-top on it. I just use a little cooler and leave it on the floor between the front and back seat of my car. If it's going to be a very hot day, I'll bring it in and leave it in the employee lockers. Lately, I've been able to use those single-serving fruit cups, appleasauce, small yogurts and small cottage cheese items directly from the grocery store. Not as cost-efficient, but it makes it easier to throw a few meals together for the day and rush out the door. I also use protein bars, protein shakes (water + extra powdered milk or plain, vanilla yogurt) and of course: fruits and veggies until the cows come home! Since it doesn't take much to fill me up, I can put a whole bunch of little things into my little cooler! Dee in MI.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2000 Report Share Posted May 23, 2000 Cool, do you work? I work nights, at least for the moment. I'm looking into working at home doing billing for doctors. That way I am in more control. Thanks so much and congratulations on your weight loss! a Deckbound@... wrote: > > a, My surgery was Jan 10, 2000. I take my vitimins and other stuff at > home.

I also got a pill/vitamin carrier that holds a bunch of pills so I can carry them in my purse. I also keep a protein bar in a ziplock in my purse. I'm trying different protein bars right now to find the one that sits best. Some have too much sugar some have too much fat. In terms of the powder supplements, I just deal with them at home and don't bother with them while I'm out. But, when my son was a baby I used to carry his formula in a three sectioned plastic container with a flip-top lid. I saw some in the Pharm. section of Walmart today and it reminded me that I can probably use mine while we're on vacation! {{HUGS}} Claire MGB 4/10/00 300/272 15.25 inches lost forever!!
