Artificial sugar vs real sugar
Elode replied to changes1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can do either but I try to stay away from both. I do drink protein drinks however so I get some fake-ness there but that's my limit. * let me clarify, I stay away from anything "added" -
Mine is a ready -made shake (premier protein in chocolate only) I've been drinking them since pre-op..everyday...still not sick of them. I haven't tried a whole lot of powders but from the ones I have tried I like syntrax PB cookie.

Things you wish someone had told you?
Elode replied to Joey Jackson's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh and I wish someone would have told me I would finally not craze food or be hungry anymore! Disclaimer: not everyone loses all sense of hunger like I have. I feel "lucky" but to some that may seem like a bad thing. I have been hungry and overstuffed myself for so many years I'm thrilled I have no desires to do that anymore.....as of now anyway. -

I haven't but one of my girlfriends does it and loves it. I keep telling her I'm Gonna go but I'm not so sure about all that. She's just A little thing. Let me know how it turns out if you do go.

I have read that people who feel they have "stretched"'the sleeve out go back and do a "pre-op" diet phase. Liquids. I haven't had that issue so I'm just passing on what I've read/heard.

Hummm no clue since we all have a different plan. What does your NUT say? I can only speak from personal experience but at 22 days I was probably around 400-500 calories and mainly from protein drinks considering I would have just been moved to regular foods at that point. I never focused on a time schedule of when to eat more just making sure I did sometime during the day.@@sheppardemily

I can't tell you for positive but I saw my primary DR for a referral and while I was there I was told previously to make sure she wrote in the notes for that Visit that I was there for obesity. That counted towards my 3 month supervised diet. I didn't get any diet meds or anything else. I have BCBS Fed.

I've read this topic a lot on here. As long as you aren't running a fever you should be fine.

Elode replied to NeeNeeD's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I personally start to hiccup. Instantly probably after about 4-5 bits and I'm done. I'm lucky to have a cue I suppose -

Pre-Surgery Behavioral Changes
Elode replied to jordantaylor's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told to practice eating sloooow. And waiting the 30 min before and after I eat to drink. I did great with all but eating slow. I'm still working on that -
If I were you I'd just wait another week to weigh.
