If we puke up our food...
KellyL replied to wendy1974's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have heard some people have problems with leftovers if they refridgerate then reheat in the microwave. It makes the protein more dry or something. But anyway, no, if I didn't feel like eating, I wouldn't and just give your tummy a rest. -
Anybody else really annoyed by all the ads lately?

3 weeks out--stalled for 2 HELP PLEASE
KellyL replied to ashleyc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sorry, I know it sucks!! My 3 wk stall lasted a long time too, well over a month! The scales are moving, but I will lose, then gain a couple back. Try not to focus on the scales right now, it will drive you crazy. Just know that most of us experience it too. But I dropped sizes in clothes during this time. -

Wow, amazing difference! Congrats!!! -
Hi Groove, congrats on your weight loss!!! I mostly get my protein through food, very rarely I use protein bars. I do use myfitnesspal on my iphone because I don't think I would get enuff otherwise. I try to keep my protein at 80g to hopefully prevent so much hairloss and help with the weightloss.

DEFECTIVE SLEEVE?????
KellyL replied to italianlady13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was like that too, just means you are having a easy recovery. You will feel more restriction when you get to more dense Protein. Don't freak over the stall either, some peoples 3 wk stall starts a little earlier. Mine lasted over a month too, which I hated but it's all part of the process. Try your best to stay hydrated! Congrats!! -

Best online food journal/tracking sites?
KellyL replied to re7777's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
myfitnesspal is what i use on my iphone and i love it being on my phone, as I have it with me at all times. It was a free app. I tried a lot of them, and it by far has the biggest database of foods/restaurants. I think the scanning thing is new to it, i just got it on an update. I have used the recipe part, but only a couple of times. I also keep up with my Water and exercise on it too. This is my favorite one so far.<br><br> -
Surgery : $5500 includied all meds and very nice hotel Flight: Just under $400 but I booked last min Passport: depends on if you get passport book or card and whether you have it expedited. I got the book and had it expedited for right around $200. I had surgery with Dr Kelly and had a great experience. I have a very detailed day by day of my whole MX experience In the "about me" section of my profile if you'd like to read it. Good luck!!

Dr. Kelly post-op questions...
KellyL replied to peppercma's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The bubbling is probably both acid and the swelling inside. I took all meds orally and swallowed them whole. The acid reducer is for everyone, and helps with acid and false hunger. Congrats on being sleeved!! -
Woohoo congrats!!! You have done an awesome job! I'm very happy for you! :cheer2:

How long are leaks usually a concern?
KellyL replied to VSG4aHealthierMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The RNY pouch is made from the persons intestines. They still have their full stomach but is considered "blind" because the pouch acts as their new smaller stomach. I have read of people having it "took down" I have also heard of them banding the pouch. I suppose they could make the pouch smaller. I have seen people talk about revising from the RNY to the sleeve, which I guess would mean the pouch would be taken down and then their old full sized tummy would be sleeved. I am not sure if they would leave the intestines rerouted I guess if the person was having nutrtional or protein deficiencies, they would undo that part maybe? It would depend on the dr and the particular patients issues. It is sad that after this long she's still having problems and has had that many operations. I would probably get othet bariatric drs opnion before more surgeries if I were her. -
