As soon as the thought of someone putting pressure on your sore stomach doesn't make you want to punch them in the face....yep I'm going with that.

Before surgery on the pre-op diet
-
Because dark fingernail polish can interfere with medical equipment such as a pulses ox machine ( used to monitor your pulse and oxygen levels) We need to be able to monitor our patients especially during surgery.

3 times 10 does not equal 70!
Elode replied to Sharon1964's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I drink protein drinks daily. I follow most all rules but they can SUCK it when it comes to that! I will drink them and they will deal with it. I'm doing just fine! -
Why Getting Sleeved was the Biggest Mistake of My Life
Elode replied to a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Sorry bout YOU! Having surgery doesn't stop hand to mouth action, you still have to handle that s**t -
how much did you eat 16 days post op- surgery was July 15th
Elode replied to roxy79's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not much, I was still on mushy foods. Maybe 300-400 calories. Mainly protein drinks but everyone's different so do what your surgeon says. I'm 8 months post-op and should be at 1200 calories, I get 800. I just do my best! -
Is / was your nutritionist all that helpful?
Elode replied to VSGAnn2014's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Nope! My lady was nice but I didn't learn a thing from her. I had already done so much of my own research I could have taught her a thing or two -
When I get that way I have a piece of dark chocolate and a Dark chocolate Royal Atkins shake. It works! Or I just go to bed, that works too.

Well you won't die, if I were you I'd have a diet something, like one of the skinny girl drinks.

Did anyone fake their 6 months supervised weight loss?
Elode replied to stephyr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
WW wasn't even allowed for my 3 months diet. I just checked in with my dietitian 3 times. Yeah I'm not sure how he could "fake" anything unless he's typing up his own fake documents and in that case yes you could get in some serious trouble falsifying medical documents. Better just save up the money and do it the honest way. -

Marriage/Relationship change
Elode replied to tough-girl78's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

FDA approves non-surgical temporary balloon device to treat obesity
Elode replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
That's a good option for someone who is not ready to go permanent. I wouldn't want it because I like the convenience of having the sleeve done and not having to deal with it, plus once that puppy came back out I'd probably gain it back seems to be the cycle of my life. I'm curious to see how well it works for people! -

Pureed foods, really?
Elode replied to Jim in Utah's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@SoCalLeslie I just bought a container of Ricotta cheese (where the cottage cheese is at our Walmart) I didn't really measure anything but I'd say I cup mixed with 1 egg and seasonings ( Italian seasoning, garlic, pepper ect...) I mixed all that up, put it in a baking dish with a thin topping of marinara sauce and baked it at 350 for 20-25 mins. -
in the hospital on my birthday waiting to be sleeved
Elode replied to jenjen2781's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Happy BD. good luck! -
If you go back to 500 you can pretty much bet you won't lose anything. You've put your body in starvation mode. Your matabolism has probably all but stopped. I'd go back and talk with my surgeon/nutritionist if I were you. Starving yourself isn't going to get you the results you desire.
