Starting over 3.5 weeks out.
Blue Sky replied to laurenella82's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hope you are feeling better! I don't know what the acronym stands for but believe PPI is an acid blocker like Pepcid like my doctor prescribed for me to take for 6 months. So far it's worked! -
Muppie, get your fears worked out before you have surgery. Take your time with this decision and that will lessen the panic. Educate yourself and refuse to be led by your fear. Read testimonials on here good and bad. Pray about it and have faith in your decision one way or the other.

Which is better? I am almost 4 weeks out and have discarded shakes for yogurts,cottage cheese and meats. Will this slow my weight loss? Already frustrated as it is. Hate shakes but may have to go back.

I can't lie, its a sacrifice and you need to ask yourself all of those things. Sit down and " count the cost" and ask yourself what is most important. Are there other alternatives? What's the better plan for you at this stage in your life? Like someone said, if you decide to move ahead, talk over your issues with I your psychologist. Most of us had to. Best wishes on your quality decision!

Got told by a coworker today that I'm taking the "easy way"
Blue Sky replied to Jerr_Bear's topic in Rants & Raves
I have found that my decisions in life go more smoothly the fewer people I tell. More peace. More focus. -
Protein from Food or Powder?
Blue Sky replied to Blue Sky's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Thank you guys so much! This is a relief. It helps to know what I am doing! It is a lot to keep up with and gets overwhelming at times. I appreciate all of you for responding! -
Yes, I lost about 10 lbs the week after surgery that I had on on February 9 and have fluctuated 4 ponds since then. I don't know what this is. I'm trying not to be discouraged. I was stalling at 1 week post op not 3! I do experience non scale victories in my clothes becoming big but I need to see the scales moving! I'm pressing on anyway.

Happy Two Month Surgerversary to Me!
Blue Sky replied to oatmealgirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oatmeal girl, thank you so much for your post. I needed all of your gentle admonishment and encouragement. Gonna do better with my protein and water! -
reason my surgery was delayed wasn't true.
Blue Sky replied to highdesertblue's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Man, what a bummer. I hope somehow this can be rectified and you get some peace before surgery. Don't internalize and make this about your self worth. This was on the doctor and the credibility of his staff and practice. -
I remember telling the guy I wasn't sleepy at all. Then I woke up in recovery.

4 days out drinking cream of mushroom soup, too soon?
Blue Sky replied to Bruce Peter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's a full liquid so should be okay and a nice break from shakes! I was able to drink it then. Congrats on your progress! -
100 lbs down and the unfortunate random things I've learned plus a few NSVs!
Blue Sky replied to KeeWee's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm glad u learned who your true friends are. Thank God for your beautiful family that u r moving away with! The others were just seasonal in your life. -
My husband is not attracted to me - 2 weeks post-op
Blue Sky replied to marbelvsg's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Now more than ever, focus on yourself and getting better. File those comments to look at later and evaluate when you are healed. Don't internalize his comments so u won't delay your progress. You are moving ahead, with or without him! Stay focused. -

Has anyone used Dr. Alvarez with Endobariatrics in Mexico?
Blue Sky replied to readyfor2015's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Don't know how to delete so plz ignore my post. I was thinking of another doctor. I've heard no negatives on Alvarez. -

I believe there is another thread on here about him. Some great and not so good results. Research him carefully. -
Vegetables after weight loss surgery
Blue Sky replied to Shannon Piper's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Had spinach dip with no problem at all. Tried a rice and broccoli casserole today which was really creamy. No issues, Ate about half a cup of each with a very soft consistency. -
Break your meals up if u haven't already. Don't eat after 7.

Ugh I cheated and feel crappy!
Blue Sky replied to JoieDeBanded's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Josiedebanded, don't cheat. You don't need leaks or complications. Not sure what procedure u had but follow the plan! U can do it! -
My friends mom always served food to hubby (and self) on hot plates.nwith lotsa tlc she just let the plate heat up in microwave or oven before putting food on it so it stayed hot. Maybe worth a try! sidebar: she stayed married over 60 years!

Not sure what phase you're in but you can get some clear protein powder and put it in applesauce. That helps me get it down. Somebody suggested putting it in potato soup.
-
Yes. I incorporated creamed soups in the full liquid phase to help curb the sweetness. I wasn't used to all the artificial sweeteners.My doctor approved the gummy multivitamin for women from Target so that helps. Other vitamins are so small I can just take them without chewing.
