Y'all think its too soon for a TT?
CHEZNOEL replied to marly7's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I would wait until you reach goal weight for the best results. My PS said to maintain for 6-12 months before any surgery for reconstuction. -
I paid up front. Surgery schedules are dependent on a lot of things. Don't stress. You day will come soon!

Good overview, but do follow your own doctor's recommendations. They are the one who will make recommendations to you when you need help. -

Banded with toddler?
CHEZNOEL replied to Wanna-Be-Healthy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would give it at least 6 weeks, but that is a personal opinion. Your best bet would be to check with your surgeon or nurse practioner. -

Tofu is a great source of protein, but before dropping all meat, please talk with your nutritionist about what other nutrients you need in your diet to stay healthy.

Better to be nice and fat, than mean and thin.
CHEZNOEL replied to Banjo257's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every point of view is valid on this forum. I was guilty of segregating into a special group, but no more. I wish everyone success. -

Ask your doctor. It varies by surgeon.

Try unjury unflavored.

It is not uncommon to have foods we once liked taste different. Part of that is the extra chewing.

Help on chewing and swalloing
CHEZNOEL replied to Hersheyskiss21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just take smaller bites and chew chew chew. It is easy to fall out of the habit of chewing enough which will make swallowing harder. If this does not help, you may be to full. Call your Doctor or NP to dicsuss. -
