Whats the deal with bread?
LI Gemini NY replied to a_jap21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My nutritionist said I can have bread as long as it's toasted. Toasted bread is easier on the stomach and is dissolved quickly. I buy bread that's already toasted. The brand is bauducco, it has 35 calories/ slice, 5.7 grams of carbs and .8 grams of fat. I put peanut butter on it or eat it with tuna salad. -
So confused with what my weight is...
LI Gemini NY replied to AngiD's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh my lol i understand your plight unfortunately. I bought a scale at cvs (for $10) and every time I weigh it's a different amount. This morning just to make sure I wasn't losing it and stepped on and off of it 3 times and got 3 different numbers.... From 266 to 274 -
Did another 2.63 miles today for a total of 6.71 miles thus far :-)
-
Up another 2.16 miles today...total for the month 4.08 miles :-)
-
Gotta eat something else- Not leaving 666 as my cals for the day on MFP!

Lol! You could always work out for 5 mins and deduct some calories...or you can drink 1/2 pack of crystal light. But yea 666, no bueno -

Congrats on your surgery, I didn't have a drain so can't comment on that, my incisions were soar for about 6 days. Take your pain meds.

I eat bauducco whole wheat toast, each slice has 35 calories, 5.7 grams carbs. The serving size is 3 slices but I can only eat 1. It comes toasted.

Incision won't heal
LI Gemini NY replied to thebean's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That doesn't look normal, none of my incisions were round like that, they looked like little vertical lines and I didn't have one there. Can they stitch it shut? It looks like an open wound at this point. Maybe the location of it is causing the issue? -
I'm in, I'm Jey and I'll be sitting at the kids' table with Urvashi :-D

day before surgery clear fluids
LI Gemini NY replied to mskoiya's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I can't remember exactly but I think it's because the red and purple color additives stains or can mimic blood... -

Can't stop losing!
LI Gemini NY replied to SkinnyGirlNC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This was one of the things I was worried about during my research phase. To my surprise, I found a few articles online about when who experienced this. Some sort of rear genetic disorder caused it. I remember one lady had to eat 15,000 calories per day to maintain her weight! I hope this is not what you're experiencing! Try googling it. I'm pretty sure they had the bypass though but I supposed it could happen with the sleeve as well. Good luck -

Surgery without staples?
LI Gemini NY replied to a_jap21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sometimes they use glue to close the incisions maybe that's what he was talking about? -

Please provide me with advice
LI Gemini NY replied to blessngs2rsleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At two weeks out you should be crushing pills, maybe putting it in applesauce like half an ounce? To be honest with you I was so shocked by all that you're attempting to eat and the whole sausage thing that I stopped reading lol but yes try crushing the pills. -

Just because something has 19 grams of protein doesn't make it good....it's also wise to look at fat, sugar and carb content. -
