Why Are Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery Diets So Different?
Paola replied to DebiC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it is more important what is it we are eating, than in what form it is. In all the phases you can make your food as lean and diet friendly as possible, or as unhealthy as possible, it is all up to you and your food choices. For example, take mashed potatoes, a healthy version is mash the potatoes with low fat or fat free chicken stock, an unhealthy version is to mash them with heavy cream and butter. Both are mushy but one will definitely help you lose more weight than the other. -

Frustrated after Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Paola replied to Shae's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't had my surgery yet, I'm on my pre-op diet, I find that if I track what I eat with myfitnesspal.com I eat less. I like numbers, so I actually have this huge spreadsheet that tracks my food calories, exercise calories, weight, BMR, how much I expect to lose and all that kid of stuff; I find that I control myself more because I want to not only to reach my expected weight each day, but beat it if possible. My family thinks I'm crazy, but I tell them whatever works and keeps me on track is great! -
Help! Pre Gastric Sleeve Surgery Diet Is So Hard!
Paola replied to abiluv7's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I hate my protein, I gulp it down right after exercise, Im still in limbo, don't know when my surgery will be. I have been doing this pre-op since october 24th. I don't get very hungry anymore, if 5 minutes after a I get a hunger pang I don't eat it will go away. Can you have sugar free juices? I was told if I got too hungry to eat some cheese, maybe you can ask your doctor. -
4-5 Days Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery And Already Down 16 Pounds.
Paola replied to megannadine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is it possible that a different scale would give you a different weight? I know I don't weigh the same on every scale I step on. Unless, ofcourse all those numbers come from the same scale. -
Things I Wish I Could Do (pre Gastric Sleeve Surgery)
Paola replied to ShoeLover's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I want to sit on a chair with arms! I couldn't even fit in the doctor's chair. I want to have a bath in the tub I want to be able to climb the ladder on the pools, and boats I want to wear lingerie I want to go up 3 to a third floor without breaking a sweat -
150 Lbs Gone In 206 Days Since My Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Paola replied to FlawedMan's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Amazing!!! Congratulations on your accomplishment!!! -
Is it true you can only digest 25g of protein at a time? So lets say, if you make a shake with 30g, only 25g is absorbed and 5g is wasted?

I think you are doing great, pre-op diets are a pain but if you are over hunger already that is fantastic! What does your pre-op diet entails? -
Approved For Gastric Sleeve Surgery And Started Liquid Diet
Paola replied to Kendall Ann's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Like stated above, the first days are the hardest. If you are doing exercise right now drink your protein shake immediately after, that way you won't lose muscle. -

Stupid Question For Ya, Does Water Go Right Through After Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Paola replied to crazycatlady8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Water won't stretch your sleeve. I don't think it goes straight through, but it does drain faster than solids from your stomach. -
Thanks everyone for your replies!!! I think I need to make a list to ask the doc when I see him again.
-
I am slightly confused about calories, I read that you should eat between 600-800 calories during your loosing phase, and 1200 calories during maintenance. Is this true?
-
Its a pill, I have some chewables but Im saving them for post surgery life.
-
I take them right after my dinner, at this stage I am allowed 1 low carb meal a day, and I still get the pain. It is not a go to the bathroom pain, its on the top part of the stomach.

Starvation Mode--myth Or Reality?
Paola replied to 300PoundsDown's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Now I am confused, I thought the sleeve diet says you are supposed to eat from 600-800 during your loosing phase, and 1200 in maintenance. Is this true?
