People's comments and frustration they can cause!
rdoactv replied to misslady's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
And another {hug}…it is such a hard decision to make even with support. But it is YOUR decision. Maybe if they understand the surgery better they will come around. ?? -
New on here. Surgery on Feb. 11.

Welcome : ) -
I'm preop..but based on my mothers experience and other posters yes..especially with the bread. Bread tends to paste up or swell in your stomach and fill u fast. Most ppl avoid bread, tortillas ect for quite some time after surgery. Many have problems with it long term.

Sara, thanks. I'm sure it'll be fine. I certainly won't starve in 10 days..I have a few reserve tanks : ). I was just surprised as so many are on protein drinks just a couple days post. My mom went home same day on "whatever was tolerable, no restrictions" gasp!!
-
Wow! Best wishes to you for Saturday! Let us know how it goes. I'm excited for you! Yes, it does mention beginning the Protein early if lethargic. I will be returning to work day 10 and don't wanna be a slug. Lol

Oh WOW! Congrats to you both! Handsome, beautiful and both looking so much younger! Great inspiration guys!!! -
I tried isopure..icky. lol but my instructions say NO protein for 10 days. Even Nectars. UNLESS I begin to feel lethargic. Which is probable after a few days. Lol
-
I second the better than bullion. You can adjust the flavor intensity as you like. Homemade of course is always awesome. Another thing is to use a boxed veggie broth or a chicken broth and add unjury chicken protein to the broth. Flavorful and more filling.
-
Welcome to you both. And Congrats! I hope you find alot of support and helpful info here. Both of your surgeries are right around the corner! Wow. Mine isn't until March, but it's been scheduled since Sept..so now I'm getting nervous and excited too. Best of luck!
