Pre-oper afraid of drains!
Mrs.D replied to futuremrsparker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't have a catheter or drain....I asked my surgeon and he said he only uses a drain in the rarest cases. Hope your surgery goes great!! -

I'd recommend making some of the changes you will have to make after surgery. 1. Cut out carbs: this has been my biggest key to weight loss. If it has flour or sugar, don't eat it. 2. Increase protien: add a shake to your diet 3. Increase water: make sure you are getting 8 glasses or more a day. 4. Add some exercise. Even if it's just taking the stairs or parking in a space far from the door. You can do this! Good luck!

I forgot to list the most important...protein! He recommends 65-90 per day.
-
My dr recommends less than 50 carbs/day Less than 10 g of sugar per serving No caloric recommendation. He says he is more concerned w/ carbs than calories. I'm generally 800-1000 per day I think.

National average surgery goals
Mrs.D replied to michelecaples's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have heard the same thing, although it was explained to me that the 60% represents the average of where people land over time. You may lose 80% within the first year, but 3 years later....many people gain some and level out. -
I'm 5'10. I've lost 85 lbs since my surgery on June 20, 2012

Moving Onto The Next Stage Of Food?
Mrs.D replied to theby_88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it depends on the surgeon. My doc doesn't want us eating any carbs or starches. -
I agree, avoid pasta and bread. Stay high on protien and low on carbs and you will be good:)
-
Watch out for fat free products...they often have higher sugars/carbs. My doc put emphasis on the carb count, not so much on the fat count- and he doesn't allow any fruit- due to the sugar count:(
