Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Hi Tita, I had surgery with Dr. English, too! My surgery was June 11th. I have a little trouble getting in the water also. When I try to drink enough, I feel sloushing inmy tummy and makes my walks difficult. Plus, living in Miami means mall- walking. Heat index is 104. I just had a follow-up with Dr. English ( what a cutie!) and I got my staples (20) taken out. That made a huge difference. Can't get down most solids, a half of an egg feels like rocks in my throat. So, I start each morning with a double batch of protein shake in milk : 23g + 23g + 12g from the milk = 58g , then in the afternoon do a single batch of the protein shake to bring me in over the required 80 grams, then " eat " whatever - usually popsicles and Splenda sweetened Kool-aid or water if I am going out. The shakes are much better if you add crushed ice in the blender. I average between 600-700 calories a day, with marginal fat and carbs, so I am surprised I am not losing faster. I only started my daily walks after the staples came out, on the 24th. Did I mention how cute I think Dr. English is???

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 No. That was Tita's information. I have gone from 283 to 259.5, but fluctuate up to 262. I weighed 270 the day after I got home and then dropped to 265 three days later, then dropped again to 260 by the end of the week. I am two days into week three with no more loss.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 The restaurant card can be found on the GBS information page. Here's alink to the printable card: http://www.gastricbypassfamily.com/RestaurantCards.html As for the amount of weight loss, the way my doctor explained it was, the goal of the GBS is to lose 80% of your EXCESS body weight. The goal isn't to put you in your " normal " weight percentage. > a few days ago a few of you > were talking about a card you have that states you have had gastric > bypass surgery and asks that you be allowed to purchase a child's > sized portion at a restruant...well where did you all get such a > card?
