Gastric Bypass better than Gastric sleeve in reducing co-morbidities
Mello1 reacted to kristieshannon for a post in a topic
I was able to ditch my CPAP 5 months post sleeve. Also my BP meds. -
1 pointMy GERD required bypass. It has been fine. I am happy with the results. BTW - my sleep apnea is now resolved and I don't need Cpap anymore!

Dark chocolate almonds?
Krimsonbutterflies reacted to JaleovexCax for a post in a topic
I admire dark chocolate, I respect it, I would vote for it for President of the Chocolate Guild, I would trust it to housesit for me, but I actually like milk chocolate, especially in conjunction with almonds. -

2 week stall! Any advice?
Krimsonbutterflies reacted to bikerchick519 for a post in a topic
That doesn't seem like enough calories to me. I bet if you increase your calories you will lose. Maybe your body thinks it's starving and needs more. It's helped me in the past to increase it some. -
1 pointmine had me eating 2300 calories, logging my food intake, exercising at least 4-5 times a week, weaning myself off of caffeine, and gradually increasing my protein and decreasing my carbs. In essence, making a gradual transition to what life would be like post-op. But the above poster is right - plans can vary between clinics and dietitians.

Hi I am having my gastric bypass on March 26. Had a lapband almost 11 years ago and had to have it removed. On the 3rd have a two hour class, meet with the doctor and dietitian. I am getting excited!Marthalynn -

Pre workout post surgery?
stefferz09 reacted to lvidacovich for a post in a topic
Actually its not all about reps. Low reps and high weight still breaks the muscles down and gives them the need to rebuilt just as much as low weight high reps. I did a program before surgery that was 1x a week, low reps high weight and I increased all of my maxes by quite a bit in a short time frame. That said - anything is better than nothing! -

Pre workout post surgery?

Thanks for all the input! Don’t worry I know to take it slow. I’m advised not to lift more than 20lbs.
