    Question About Red Meat & Pork

    Don't forget, they did surgery on your stomach, not your teeth. Chew chew chew. Even steak can be purreed by your chompers.

    Question About Red Meat & Pork

    I've been eating pork and beef since I was 2 months out. Eat it everyday. I hate chicken. I don't see what the problem is. If I get ground beef, I get the extra lean, but other than that I don't worry about it. I may go eat a ham steak right now in your honor.

    Musings: "the Rules" Are All Over The Place

    That's why I said you CAN have a fatty liver. Not that you WILL have a fatty liver. I also did not realize our BMI was that low.

    Bottomless Pit

    They have absolutely zero taste. They do change the texture of whatever you add them to though. They are like little poppy seeds. But if you allow them to sit in a liquid for 20 minutes or more, they soak up the liquid and become gelatinous. Almost slimy. A lot of people like this gel, but I don't.

    I Love This Forum And Chat Room

    What goes on in the chat room? I've never been in there.
  11. Do you have to lose weight on your diet? If not, then don't.

    Musings: "the Rules" Are All Over The Place

    One thing has nothing to do with the other. You can have a low BMI and still have a fatty liver. Cutting sugar and carbs right before surgery will shrink your liver to make surgery easier and less risky. There is more than one way to do this, but each doctor decides how they want it done and then direct their patients accordingly. The docs try to simplify the plan and also "idiot proof" it. That's why they don't give us options. If they did, a certain percentage of people would not understand and get it wrong.

    Is There Something Wrong?

    My taste never changed nor did I ever come close to vomiting, except during that barium swallow.

    I do not let them gel. Too slimy for my taste.

    Whey Protein

    Whey is the best form of protein for VSG patients. It will help prevent muscle loss better than any other because it is absorbed so quickly, especially right after a workout.

    Tattoo Ides?

    Bottomless Pit

    2 tspoons in my pudding. 2-3 in my shakes. If you put 3 tspoons in your shake, you will swallow 2, the rest will be stuck to the inside of the cup. I really like the texture they give to shakes and pudding. Plus they keep me regular.

    The Catheter For Men

    My doc didn't use a catheter, and I had urinary retention after surgery. Believe me, it's much worse than a catheter. It's like having a swollen prostate. You need to urinate so bad, but you can't. It literally took me 30 minutes to give them a few drops. It took 36 hours before I finally got some relief. Trust your surgeon. No one here is smarter than the doctor they've chosen. You will still be getting up to walk around, catheter or no.
