Surgery Now or Later? (Poll)
FluffyChix and one other reacted to Danny Paul for a post in a topic
I'd wait, I have a big family and we get together during the holidays. Since I didn't tell anyone about the surgery I wouldn't want to have to make excuses to my whole family why I wasn't eating or why I was losing weight during the holidays. After the holidays it would just me and the wife and far fewer people I have to explain things to. -
2 pointsI am a hot sauce lover. My friends just came over and everyone ordered Mexican. I just had some guacamole, it had a kick to it, I think their were jalapeños in it. My sleeve tolerates it well. I have been eating curry and other milder spices since day one of surgery since my favorite soup is a acorn squash apple curry purée. I haven’t had any trouble yet. I haven’t tried hot sauce just yet. I think I will hold off until I’m out of stage 3 for that.

Doc wants me to lose 26 lbs in 2 weeks?

Likewise, I suspect that he is giving you a (ultra) stretch goal to see how well you can do when motivated. If he seriously expects you to lose that much that quickly, he is clueless about the obesity problem and I would say goodbye and find another surgeon - there are plenty of them who don't play such games and their patients can be just as successful, if not more so. -

Did you continue to lose weight after 1 year post op?

Every time you post I feel better about my slow loss. It can get discouraging (although I sabotaged myself last month) and then I remember what a success you are! -

This is a really good question -- I stand by my comment above, but I totally get waiting until after the holidays, mainly to shield my surgery from others. -

Chilli
njgal reacted to PrayingForWeightLoss for a post in a topic
Eden30, I am like that too!! I put hot sauce on just about everything. I was sleeved July 28, 2017. I held off using chilli until I got to the normal food stage. I don't remember being told not to have it before then. I just chose to be extra careful. I am having it now almost daily with no problems. I have no reflux issues that some sleevers experience post op. I think that makes a big difference if you have gastric reflux. -
