So tired! 2 weeks post op
muzical1 replied to Bndtoslv's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh my goodness! I'm at three weeks post-op and today is the second day I didn't need a nap! It will get better. -
This is so encouraging! Thanks for sharing. I'm only three weeks post-op. Looking forward to getting where you are.

Usually, I'm pretty even keeled, even on the Internet, but some questions...
muzical1 replied to no onions's topic in Rants & Raves
I agree that some docs don't have a comprehensive program that some of us have experienced. As a result, it appears that many people simply don't know what they can or cannot do at various stages. This is a good place to ask questions. However, in some cases it seems as though the patients simply have limited info from their WLS team. That's very unfortunate. -
Whey Protein Drink
muzical1 replied to StefanieSparklePants's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try more than one brand. Myoplex Lite gave me terrible gas, but SlimFast High Protein did not. I know it's frustrating, but each brand is composed a bit differently. -
Boyfriend's mom doubts my potential success.
muzical1 replied to meowmers's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Wow...that's not a nice thing. I'm sorry, he just doesn't sound like he's ready for a serious commitment. Now that you know, act accordingly. In time, he will be replaced I'm sure. -
Ladies, what do you consider your ideal dress size ?
muzical1 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Size 10 is perfection for me! -
Boyfriend's mom doubts my potential success.
muzical1 replied to meowmers's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
She is clearly not a nice person. But I'm concerned that her son is a "momma's boy" who didn't defend you or support you with her. In the long run that would be a huge red flag. As you slim down and reach your goals, I hope you will meet a man who will honor, love, respect, and defend you, and whose family will do the same. Life is too short to have it any other way. -
Before or after Cancun Vacation ?
muzical1 replied to hawkeyJeff's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nope. But I'm only three weeks post-op. Can't even fathom going on a real vacation yet. -
Waiting on approval from Aetna
muzical1 replied to Joymarie333's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't worry. I was approved in 10 days. -
So sorry to hear this. This gives you more time to prepare for the rigor of the journey and enjoy your fav foods.

Get s new PCP because they have to submit a detailed letter of support to the insurance company before you're approved. You don't want to get to the end of the process and have a delay because she's not fully supportive. So sorry to hear this.

Why am I obsessed with watching these shows after surgery? I'm not hungry or even tempted. Anyone else do this???
-
No problems two weeks post op for me. I was at a restaurant with family. Was nice to have something to chew while they pigged out. LOL

The psych exam I took was about 250 questions broken into two parts. It was designed to assess whether you are a binge eater (I showed mildly) or have other concerns with mental wellness that could prohibit your ability to follow through with the plan. Just be consistent in your answers because you get asked the same question multiple times worded differently to trip you up.

Psychologist appointment?
muzical1 replied to scarlep's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Having a baby one year ago can also affect your hormones and be the cause. Go forward with the process as you want to be your best you. -

muzical1 replied to no onions's topic in Rants & Raves
I guess some don't take this major life altering/life giving procedure as seriously as others. If you're rushing to have a drink after surgery, you probably have another problem to solve. Not my business, but I do understand the sentiment. -
Did your style change
muzical1 replied to lisa0617's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I wore shorts in public for the first time in years! Yes!!! -
Spaghetti 7 weeks out yes or no?
muzical1 replied to maysleever2015's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good idea to just stick with the meatballs and sauce. -
Really worried about MALNUTRITION!
muzical1 replied to Dawnie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have the same problem. Just try to get the protein and water in. There's a bariatric timer app that may help remind him. -
Day 6 post op itchy red incisions
muzical1 replied to need change's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How long does it take for the surgical strips to fall off? I hope my doc doesn't pull them off this week for my follow-up. I think that may hurt. And the bruising on one side looks awful. -
Can you eat veggies? I was able to eat raw vegetables in addition to 4 shakes per day and water. That held me together.
