You are a good wife! I don't even get Turkey yet and told my husband no. Luckily, he's not really in to Thanksgiving so he's excited anout having a hot dog, mac n cheese, and some mashed potatoes (which were are buying ready made as I can't have them, either). I'm hoping next year I can do the works and make up for it!

First, I do not take ambien or any other controlled sleeping medicine. The only new medicines I have been on since this started is ActiGall and Pepcid AC Is anyone doing strange things in the middle of the night? I will "come to" and be sitting on the edge of my husbands side of the bed. No idea how I manage to do that Just sitting there. I will come into the dining room and be so out of it hubby says go back to bed and I will randomly pick something up off the table that I think needs to go to bed with me books, paper, bowls, silverware. There have been a few nights that apparently I am doing into the garage and opening the garage door in the middle of the night. Then theres this from last night I have no idea why I did this..but I am a little impressed I managed to make room in the fridge for it lol

not to bust your chops but don't get too excited ..it's better in your head... reality is a fork or two and you will be done.. enjoy

My kid is a crossfitt animal and wants me to start, but little bit nervous on that Im 52 and beat the hell out myself for half a decade 1. So the crossfit is going good for you?

I like www.myfitnesspal.com It is a free app that you can upgrade to a paid service. I use the free one for now. It is pretty easy to use also!

Hi. I couldn’t imagine any bariatric surgeon not requiring their patient to get protein in post op. It is very important for healing. The cardinal rule for bariatric patients post op and for life is “protein first” i had sleeve in 2018 and revision to bypass last Friday. Both surgeons required 60grams of protein post op. Good luck with your research and hope that helped.

I'd start changing my eating habits ASAP. I did it gradually - I slowly brought my calories down, increased my protein, and decreased my carbs. I weaned myself gradually off caffeine and carbonated beverages. I did this over the course of a few months so it wouldn't be a radical change. Then once I had surgery, I was kind of used to the new lifestyle.

I continued to lose weight after having my gallbladder out. Tell her to butt out if she can't be supportive!

Being sleeved on 12/2. I'm 66 yo and heavy all of my life...so it's a totally different mindset that I'll have to deal with. I've always been a food junkie (not junk food)...have been to some of the best restaurants in the world (good memories for sure) and only need one channel for entertainment on TV (Food Network, duh...). I also am a part-owner in a winery which will be very hard to limit future consumption. Positive is that my wife is being sleeved the next week...so at least we won't have issues with smelling food cooking, etc. Misery loves company -- but so does success. Good luck everyone.

Has anyone ever moved quickly thru the phases of the post op diet? I have had no naseau or vomiting but only eat less.
