My Doctor Wants Me To Eat More!
_imgood_ replied to EarthyGoalie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is it possible to count every single calorie? If I make tuna, little mayo (cause I do not like mayo), Mrs. Dash. Would I have to figure out the calories down to the seasoning? This is an example. -
You can do it! Hang in there!

Thanks! How is your recovery coming? I still have tons if gas and now I think I want to stay out if work an extra week.

Surgery went well yesterday.....gas pains are like torture but I was just able to have liquids after I passed my leak test. So gas is moving around more. Im still on pain meds still but making it through. I feel like I've lost more weight. I'm sitting on the loser bench!

_imgood_ replied to ElliottWasHere's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

The peace comes from allowing the powers that be take over. You'll be fine and your approval will come. -

Thanks Nurse_B

I become very thirsty and when I drink I'm not take the recommended sips (I still have my old mind). Gas tends to set in after I drink, really bad gas. So I rake gasX prior to drinking a this has helped. I put up signs in in my house to remind me of what and how I should be doing with my sleeve. This is all new, any suggestions from veteran sleever?

Thanks so much it does help! -
I did a two week pre-op diet too. It gets easier especially if you prep the night before. I set up my shakes in bottles, my jello, and broth. This is something we have to learn to be successful on the other side.
