So Far So Good After One Week
SuperDave replied to rsmith722's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Great story! Congrats on making a change. I'm a little jealous of the pictures too. That would be cool! -
Approved and surgery date both today!
SuperDave replied to docbree's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Congrats, it will come quick now! Good luck! -
Your Thanksgiving Dinner Game Plan
SuperDave replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
My Thanksgiving plan is to stay home and have a Protein shake! I'll go stop by and visit with family after the meal is over. Nothing in the world sounds worse than pureed turkey! -
Nutritionist Approved! What is next?!?
SuperDave replied to gettinghealthymom1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Assuming you are hoping to use insurance to pay for the procedure, the next step is probably compiling all of the data from your tests and meetings with the nutritionist and submitting it all to the insurance company for approval. I don't think I'm missing another step here... -
If you weren't obese "all" of your life, what is it that caused you to become obese ?
SuperDave replied to My Bariatric Life's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Marriage! Of course, that is somewhat of a joke, but at the same time it is not. I really think I just became very comfortable in my life and didn't feel that I needed to work on myself. Before I knew it, my weight had gotten WAY out of control. -
am i really full? do you measure your food?
SuperDave replied to DBLPattyMELT7am's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do measure everything, but I don't always eat all of it. I eat slow and when I start to feel full I stop. I look at the measurement as a maximum, not as a challenge! Besides, my doggy loves it when I leave her a couple bites! -
I completely understand how you feel, but the advertising will never go away. It's all about the money! It is best to learn to ignore all of it and do what is best for you. Best of luck on the process!

You definitely cannot argue with results like that. Congrats!

My nutritionist told me that plant based proteins are okay, but many are not complete proteins so should be supplemented whenever possible with meat proteins and whey isolate.

Oh boy, I think I'm actually going to do this thing...
SuperDave replied to roundisashape's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good luck with the whole process! -
1/4 cup is 2 ounces. That is probably about right. Some people may be a little higher by 5 weeks, but everyone is different. No need to push it!

Thin hot Cereal, (Cream of Wheat), Protein shakes. Hang in there. It gets better. You have got this!

When can I suck it in again?
SuperDave replied to Brn2blossom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
+1 on the abdominal binder. It makes a huge difference in how you feel! -
That's a great story. Congrats on your success! Now you have to get back to the basics that got you to where you are. You already know you can do it, so do it! You have got this!

Dehydration can also cause pains in the side. If they persist, it is best to contact the doc.

Will I / Did You Go Off Protonix/Omerprazole/Pantoprazole PPIs?
SuperDave replied to mnmlst's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor recommends taking it for 3 months post-op. I already bought a 3 month supply, so I intend to do it. I will be interested to see how I react when I stop. I never had an issue with acid reflux before surgery. -
Day 8 - It's time for puree food!
SuperDave replied to jasminnegrin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Awesome! I have my 2 week post-op appointment today, and should be moving to pureed phase as well. I am really looking forward to it! -
Sounds like you are doing great so far! Congrats, and thank you for sharing!

17 weeks post op
SuperDave replied to Carissa.Logaras's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Congrats! 60 pounds in 4 months is great! Don't worry about about how fast it is happening, the important thing is that you are doing it! Everyone is different. Just focus on you! -

Cold Feet For Surgery
SuperDave replied to Pac-woman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What you are feeling is absolutely normal. I would be more worried if you weren't somewhat nervous. This is a huge life change you are undertaking. The process isn't always easy. Surgery isn't a miracle cure for obesity. But, if you commit to do what you need to do, it is a very effective tool. You are among friends here. We all understand the challenges. Come here for support and keep up the good work! You can do this! -

The shakes will definitely help. And pureed food is in the near future. Hang in there. You got this!
