What Cant You Eat Now?
Disneytikifan replied to JentryB2020's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I can eat most foods. I have trouble with dry stuff, especially grilled chicken. I have to have chicken very moist or in some sauce, or i throw it up. -
Be Honest Peeps When Was The First Time You Tried Carne Asada After Surgery?
Disneytikifan replied to Karen2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery april the 4th and I tolerate beef well. It has to be moist if not it is a nonstarter. For me grilled chicken is much harder than beef. I have only tried small amounts of rice a tablespoon or two and it is ok. Godd luck! I would add that you should wait a bit on the steak and rice maybe 6 weeks or else you will probably be sick. -
Has Anyone Ever Regretted Having Surgery? Be Honest?
Disneytikifan replied to Karen2012's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I had buyers remorse but I feel so much better and am off diabetes and htn meds. It is worth it. I wish I had done this sooner. A couple of friends warned me about buyers remorse. Good luck it takes awhile but it gets better! Much, much better! -
I love the map my walk app. You can set it up and minimize it and use your iPod function for music or use it in the app.

I hit a stall but started losing again. My nutritionist suggested increasing my calories a bit since I swim or walk an hour a day. My walk app on my phone has me burning 500 calories in an hour. Even with that I still went through a 2.5 week stall. It is natural.

Surgery Biggest Mistake Of Life!
Disneytikifan replied to Shelby21's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble. I hope that you will improve over time. I feel so much better and I am weaning off the last of my meds that I think the trade offs that I had for surgery were more than worth it. Good Luck! -
6 Month Post-Op Results (Drum Roll...)
Disneytikifan replied to Beyon Sleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations! I hope to be there in a year ! -
I am at 1000-1100 but I am exercising and a tall guy. The nutritionist suggested maybe pushing it up a little if I am doing extended workouts. It depends on activity level , male or female, and height and frame size.

How Often Should I Weight Myself?
Disneytikifan replied to Shun's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have been in a stall for 2 weeks and I weighed daily. It has been a bit discouraging until this morning when I was down 5 lbs overnight. I have been swimming or walking and I used map my walk which stated that I burned almost 500 calories in an hour and ten minutes last night. I think the idea of not weighing every day if your weight hasn't changed in a few days is a good one. In practice for me that is very difficult. -
Thanks for posting. I walk or swim daily . Great information. I use map my walk on my phone as I walk.

Anyone Failed With The Sleeve?
Disneytikifan replied to ConnieSings's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I asked this question and the bariatric nurse talked about a CPA who drank icecream milkshakes while working and regained weight. -
(Cross Posted) I Need Help, Please.
Disneytikifan replied to tjmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just try to eat whatever lean protein you can tolerate. For some reason I cannot tolerate chicken breasts if they are dry and do better with processed chicken and chicken salad. I have found a medium steak is easy as well as is fish(if not dry). I think everyone is different. Some people talk about jerky as a snack but it is too dry for me. -
Welcome and good luck!

No More Weightloss?
Disneytikifan replied to Seemebetter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was down a pound this am but I am moving very slowly on the scale the last two weeks. However, I am losing inches from my waist. I think that all the exercise that I am doing is putting on muscle. As i gain muscle and lose fat my clothes fit better ,so I believe. -
Life Insurance
Disneytikifan replied to BABEwiththePOWER's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been planning to add to my insurance when i have lost enough weight. i hope i don't get penalized for the sleeve. -
I was at a meeting and stopped for lunch at the cheesecake factory. I had a shrimp dish with rice. I ate some of the shrimp and none of the rice. Probably 70-80% of the dish was left when I finished since the portions are so huge. The waiter asked me 3 times if I wanted a to go box, I declined since I was at a hotel.

My knee kills me on the right where I tore a meniscus. I was off vitamins for a four day trip and when I came back and restarted vitamins it is markedly better. A friend who also had surgery thinks that vit d is what helps. I also have heard sleep problems make fibro worse maybe you have a sleep disorder as well? Any good luck!

I was at the upper edge of what anesthesia feels comfortable With for sedation. I lost weight before surgery and have done well post op. I think the limit was a bmi somewhere between 55-60. -
Anyone Have Joint Pain
Disneytikifan replied to AKSleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maybe vitamin d is low? A friend who had the surgery told me he had joint pains and took vitamin d and it helped. I have had more knee pain recently I increased my vitamin d and it helped. Be careful with d it is an oil soluble vitamin and can build up so don't take megadoses. -
I have a torn meniscus in my right knee. It has been better until this last weekend when I was at a meeting and walked miles, at least 3-5 a day. I forgot to bring vitamins and have been off them for days. I took a couple of extra at home and the next day my knee was markedly better. I am thinking of getting my vitamin d level checked. A couple people have told me if it is low replacement makes a difference.

Interesting...wls Menu At A Nj Steakhouse
Disneytikifan replied to littlebits's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I appreciate this thank you for posting. I do well with medium filet with a steak sauce and the portion he has listed is perfect. Lots of times I tell the waiter to hold the sides since I usually don't eat them and I hate the idea of wasting the food.
