Tacos on lettuce leafs instead of taco shells! I have them at least once a week right now. I'm a little obsessed! Lol -
Anyone here from the south jersey area? I could really use a buddy!

I waited about 3 weeks. My daughter is almost a year and a half and weighs 26lbs so I was super careful when I picked her up. My doctor recommended waiting 4 weeks but she still sleeps in a crib and I had to get her out in the mornings so I didn't have a choice.

Can you have too much protein?
betsy_1990 replied to Kitty112415's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I use Genepro also and I checked with my NUT and she said it was fine. I like it because it's only a Tbsp for 30gm or protein and it really doesn't alter the taste of things. -
Does anyone know how much fat should be in our protein shakes? I just bought a pumpkin spice one from GNC that had only 3 grams of sugar (I think) but it has 6 grams of fat. That seems like a lot?

Wow, you are doing way better on the liquids then I am! Today I got 2 cups of hot tea, a protein shake, and half a sugar free water ice in. I am slacking in the liquids department. My follow up is on Wednesday. I can't wait to be off the liquid only stage! I am not hungry at all but my brain keeps telling me I want something to eat that I can chew. It's driving me nuts!

I had mine the same day! Glad you aren't feeling too bad. Today has been a lot better for me. The past few days have been really rough. I feel you on the reflux. I am having the same issue. If you are interested in a buddy feel free to message me! It would be great to have someone that is on the same stages as me.

Any October 14th suargery dates out there?
betsy_1990 replied to jlouise23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey everyone, I'm only two days post op and I am pretty miserable. Almost regretting my decision to have surgery in the first place. PLEASE tell me it gets better. I am so sore and the gas pain sucks! I have been walking but I can't tell if it is making things better or worse. And I am trying to sip, sip, sip but I just feel so bubbly in my stomach. This really sucks so far. -

Thank you! Everything went well. The first night was rough but I am feeling much better today. -
Congrats! I am having mine done at Abington. I work in Glenside and wanted to use a hospital closer to where I work. How are you feeling?

Congrats and good luck! My journey started in March as well and my surgery is scheduled for Thursday. I am not the least bit nervous. Just super excited and anxious! -

betsy_1990 replied to JudeaJordon's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

How was your experience at Abington? And who was your doctor? I am scheduled to be sleeved by Dr. G on September 2nd. I live in south jersey but work in glenside so I decided to go with Abington as my hospital.

Total indulgence before starting pre-op?
betsy_1990 replied to sassygirl1068's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I just read your post it felt like I was reading something I wrote myself. My surgery date is September 2nd and I am feeling the exact same way. I keep telling myself that I am going to get on track but then at the same time I feel like all I am doing is eating because I know I won't be able to eat like this anymore. And then as soon as I finish eating I feel guilty and feel horrible about myself. It's a viscous cycle. -
Hello Im just starting the process
betsy_1990 replied to Tazi's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats everyone! I am in Cherry Hill, NJ but having surgery in Abington, PA. I have my appointment with my surgeon, nutritionist, and psychiatrist on the 28th. I am almost done all the pre-op tests. I am getting so anxious! -
Congratulations! You are getting so close! I am still in the beginning pre-op stage. I am planning on having the surgery in early September. What part of Jersey are you from? I'm from south jersey.
