I've found two negatives from major weight loss!
Elode replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@kranky813 My daughter said that to me last night when we were out jogging! I do so have a butt! It's not big but it's there! Guess I'm going to have to do stupid squats or lunges. Yikes!! I was unaware that I lived with the "butt monitors". How do you shut that alarm off?! -
Average Weight Loss per month
Elode replied to Whitney1968's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have no idea but I've lost 110 lbs in 10 months so I guess 11 lbs if you do it that way BUT it's not accurate. It varies from week to week. DO NOT use my numbers as YOUR guide. You will be different. NO comparing!!! -

@@Bean80128 Oh don't even get me started on the sag bags! I went from a 40 DDD to a 32 mild D depending on how much I can stuff in a cup. It's sad My butt and boobs took of for greener pasture. -
I did it! I actually exercised yesterday...on purpose! I swear I popped a lung though. Man, that hurt!!!

What is everyones favorite Protein Drink?
Elode replied to JellyBellyNoMore's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Linaka No it's not as thick. I use the coconut almond milk for mine. I like the coconut flavor! It won't be thick like PP though. -
And my favorite... Sipsey: Oh it don't make no kind of sense. Big ol' ox like Grady won't sit next to a colored child. But he eats eggs- shoot right outta chicken's ass!

Nobody and I mean NOBODY is coming at my crotch with any sharp instruments! I had all c-sections so nothing's came out of there that wasn't suppose to come back out. This whole thread reminds me of the scene in "Fried Green tomatoes" where she's (Kathy Bates) is crying because she can't even look at her own vagina with a hand held mirror. If you haven't seen that movie you have no idea what I'm talking about.....you also haven't lived. Evelyn Couch: I can't even look at my own vagina! Ninny Threadgoode: Well I can't help you on that one honey

@@Sajijoma I love how they add "rejuvenating" to everything! It makes having your vag dissected sound so young and youthful. I'm sure they will be playing soothing music and have aroma therapy candles burning while they're cutting off your bits!!

Salmon IF you cut the skin off AND the dark brown streak it has down the middle.

Oh I've been in the oh so elusive "guys room" and I got yelled at! Pretty much scratched my eyes out.

I wrote out a list and took it. I wanted to know... Will I have a catheter? Jp drain? What Kind of sutures will I have What size Bougie will be used (size the stomach will be) What type of pain management will be used while in the hospital and home. Will I get a Prescription for a PPI (acid blocker) Put me on the private room list! (Got it) I'm sure there were more because I took a sheet with me and checked them off as we went through. @

Why is it important to get 64 oz of water?
Elode replied to Shainadelphia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Because about 70% of the body is made up of water! And maybe because the nutritionist hates me and knows the struggle I have with obtaining that much fluid and finds my daily struggle comical? I don't know but I'd go with answer number one. Super annoying cells needing fluid to function...blah blah blah! -
@@Tssiemer1 Fear not...I've yet to see a "pretty" jina! They all kinda look like a meat sandwich on a hoagie gone wrong. Pick a side....

Umm there's a plastic surgery procedure for that........I wish I had a little more padding on the ole mons! I'm flat and boney. I'm quite fragile nowadays! I think I'm going to get one of those donuts people with hemorrhoids sit on and cushion myself for " monkey business" times. Just stick it right there in the front! That my friends would be sexxxxxay!!! I almost positive I would never feel the touch of a man again

My hair has finally started to shed. Nothing too horrible...yet. Just really annoying! I had a cute hair style picked out but opted to order extensions instead. I'm not upset by it, I knew it was going to happen so I'm not shocked. I've decided to look at it as my internal "fat" girl and "skinny" girl are fighting. One of them is fighting dirty and pulling hair out!! I'm betting on the skinny girl to win the fight in the end! Ha! So if you lost hair how long did it last?

What were your favorite first "solid" foods?
Elode replied to FocusOnMeNow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My very first solids just happened to land on Thanksgiving day! Pretty cool so I had a piece of turnkey. Tiny piece. -
@@SeahawksFan Isn't that fun! I use to wear a size 9 on my ring finger now I'm a 5 1/2! All these years I thought I was "big boned" nope, I was just fat!! Congratulations!!

@@LMolina1987 Most Walmarts carry it. I've included a picture so you know what to look for if you do decide to get it. It's good to have on hand. I don't have any issues but if I haven't gone in two days I drink it to be safe. Especially in the beginning when you're eating so much protein. Anesthesia tends to make the bowls sluggish also.

@@Fabiana87 oh then that's different than what I did. If that's all you're eating then that's not enough. You may have got 40 grams of protein out of all of that IF your drinking a high protein option. I would drink a few more protein drinks or add some low carb options And lean meats like fish, turkey & Chicken. After surgery you are going to want to eat protein first so you may as well focus on that now. You can find a ton of recipes online. Try eating a few small protein snacks between small meals if you need to like cheese and turkey roll ups, a few natural almond, they sell P3 snacks at Walmart that have small portions of meat, cheese and nuts in them. Watch your sodium intake though. Processed meats have a lot of sodium normally. I usually go to the deli and ask for low sodium options. I actually prefer them because they taste more like meat and not over processed. I would call your nutritionist and see what exactly your suppose to be eating as far as calories ect...
