Gallbladder removal and sleeve on Friday 11/28
BeagleLover replied to Aranks's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my gall bladder removed laparoscopically. I didn't have any pain afterwards. -
12 weeks of the Insurance Diet to go - not doing well!
BeagleLover replied to Jana64's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I suggest tracking your Protein, carbs and calories just to see what's going on. -
What song reminds you of your journey?

Protein isolate is the most absorbable. Is it 100% protein isolate?

Normal at this stage?
BeagleLover replied to Jennifer Rogers's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That sounds about right. -
I suggest you call your surgeon's office.

How long i have to wait until i can have protein?
BeagleLover replied to newstartme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Isopure has clear ready-to-drink Protein drinks. There are 40 grams of protein in each bottle. -
Will I / Did You Go Off Protonix/Omerprazole/Pantoprazole PPIs?
BeagleLover replied to mnmlst's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I suggest calling the doctor's office to see if you still need it. I am almost 2 months post-surgery. I was told I don't need it anymore. The whole idea is to minimize the stomach acid so the sleeve has a chance to heal better. -
Cold Feet For Surgery
BeagleLover replied to Pac-woman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I recommend the book, "Emotional First Aid" (the bariatric one) by Cynthia Alexander. It helped me change my relationship with food. For me, the restriction of the sleeve helps restrict calories and stop the need to constantly diet, without much to show for it. I firmly believe this tool will help you out too. -
"Stop" signs
BeagleLover replied to JerseyGirlShirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I usually have a very slight feeling of being full and/or a little hiccup. I stop there. I don't want to get to the "one bite too much" stage. -
Protein powder help
BeagleLover replied to Quest4TheNewMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm wondering if there is a misunderstanding. My NUT said that, *other than Protein shakes*, the liquids needed to be 5 calories a cup or less. For example Ocean Spray Diet drinks, crystal lite. Other than that, calories are never mentioned. -
Sleeved Dec 2nd *need ppl to talk to*
BeagleLover replied to rylo1027's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like you're on the right track! Add up the Protein grams. I blend my Protein shakes with unsweetened soymilk; that adds 7 grams of protein. Protein grams should come out to 60 - 80grams/day. Also, make sure your liquids add up to at least 64oz/day. -
What a transformation! Congratulations!

Vomited clear slime, felt like dying
BeagleLover replied to mnmlst's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's only happened a couple times, when I ate too much ("one bite too much") and/or too quickly. It happens rarely now since I'm getting more used to the smaller portion sizes. -
What are some cream soups for post op
BeagleLover replied to melodyssss's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I get mine at COSTCO-- Progresso Potato and Clam Soup with the potato chunks taken out. Then I add a can of chicken bouillon to thin it out a bit. It was a little too thick during early post-op. -
It all depends on who gets the paperwork. Some are quick; some aren't. After 2 weeks into the starting period, I started my pre-op diet so I wouldn't have to wait 2 weeks after that to have my surgery. That wound up allowing me to get a much earlier opening in my surgeon's schedule.

Length of Your Pre-Op Liquid Diet?

Mine was 9 days. -
NOT a problem... just stick with the program. Everyone is different!

Refrained beans?!
BeagleLover replied to MamaTo3inNH's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
[doesn't stop me!] I was wondering if we should refrain from eating beans! -
No, just keep with the program and not weigh so often.

Is this correct? Standards for carbs and proteins as per dietitian....
BeagleLover replied to natalie_christin's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@natalie_christin, my NUT recommended 60 - 80 grams of Protein per day, closer to 60 for women, 80 for men. -
