Post-surgery hotel stay and flight back home- what did you eat?
Nicolanz replied to scsleever's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I think I just drank a Gatorade on the way back but I found a restaurant in the airport on the way there that had chicken soup and I ate the broth. -
Yours look really good compared to mine!

That reminded me...remember those KFC "sandwiches" where the "bread" was fried chicken? Haha!

Haha!!! Laura means to be snarky! Don't let her fool you!

Will my marriage survive WLS?
Nicolanz replied to JennyBeth's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My husband fights depression, anxiety, and OCD. I understand your difficulty. I also understand his an am there for him no matter what. I love him. Our marriage is by no means perfect but its something we constantly work on. I try to encourage him to enjoy life and to do things that will make him happy. What's he done for me? Well he's a great father to our children, a hard worker, and sometimes a great husband haha. He didn't support wls at all. But I did it anyway. There were times I didn't think we'd make it. Now that I'm healthier and happier, we both are happier together. Don't give up on him. Fight that battle when it comes, don't have it in your mind that your marriage will fail. Good luck! -

Marriage - I Don't Know If...
Nicolanz replied to AmandaRaeLeo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't read all the replies but do the surgery. DO IT! My husband was a flippin a-hole before surgery. I almost whooped his ass and cussed him out which I have never done! He was so unsupportive it was ridiculous. He never expressed insecurity, but called me lazy and said I stuff my face which is not true at all! After surgery he turned into a completely different person. Totally on board and supportive. I love that man, but like you know, I couldn't not have this surgery. Our marriage is great now and honestly, I think he was scared I wouldn't survive. Stay strong! Hopefully he'll come around. If not maybe it's time to move on. I'm glad y'all are are trying with counseling. Good luck! -
How cute!!!

MEXICO: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.....
Nicolanz replied to kortolano's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Haha the water and chicken fat literally made me sick because that's how it was at the hotel I stayed at! I never had chicken broth after that! Couldn't stand the smell. Glad its going well. Good luck with the rest of your journey! -
Please please please get good shoes! If you have a Fleet Feet around they will watch you walk and run and tell you exactly what you need. Good luck!

Sleeve mastah!!!!

Woohoo! Congrats!

I personally still get hungry. Your stomach isn't the only organ that makes ghrelin. It's definitely no where near what it was before. If I haven't eaten in 4-5 hours, I get hungry. But I get full really fast! The sleeve works!

At 3 weeks out you might want to stick with string cheese, yogurt, lunch meat, hummus

What just happened?? I missed the beginning! -
I think at this point you just need to worry about getting in water and protein. I didn't count calories until soft foods and I think I was only getting about 400 calories at that time.
