    Convincing spouse

    Someone else suggested he attends the consultation with you. I highly agree. I also think he should attend the seminar with you. I'm not sure if this is offered most areas, but my fiancé and I attended the seminar first and then the consultation. By attending both of these he was fully aware and educated. I would also read some posts with him. He really enjoyed the posts because it was really life experiences not just research. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

    Dumping question...

    Unfortunately, I can't almost anything. I can eat rice; although I try not to. If I do, it may be a teaspoon or two of brown rice. I can't do any Pasta, when I tried I didn't dump....it just hurts in my pouch. If u really want pasta, I use brown rice pasta. It's delicious, I use normally for my daughter because of her food allergies. If I have something with too much sugar, I'll get a rapid heartbeat. That'll last for about 5 minutes or so. Most often I stick to my Protein and veggies. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

    Post Bypass Surgery foods I can eat

    I'm 6 months out and my taste buds didn't change very much. I can still anything I want, which I wish wasn't so. I can eat scrambled eggs any longer ; only hard boiled eggs or egg whites. I still have a taste for fried foods, fast food places, but soon after I think about it I get nauseous thinking about what I could eat. I do have pizza every once in a while, but I'll do paper thin crust. I love ice cream, sometimes 1x or 2x a week I have a tablespoons of Edys MO sugar added butter pecan ice cream. I can eat fries, but they all taste disgusting now. I also eat a lot of chicken. I've developed taste buds for Beans (black beans and refried beans). I wasn't much of a fan before surgery. However I try to get as much Protein as I can. I feel like my sweet tooth has increased which isn't good. It doesn't bother to eat anything sweet, except I notice my heart beats a lil faster sometimes. If I eat a burger, I can do a slider with no bun. A can a little less than half a burger if it's not a slider. I try to cook many veggies on Sundays so I can eat throughout the week. I'm allergic to raw veggies so a salad is out of the question. Therefore cooked veggies in the fridge are perfect for me to eat with some sort of chicken dish. Chicken tacos and chicken meatballs are my favorite go tos. Whole Foods sales a variety of chicken meatballs and they're delicious.... Sweet Asian, Buffalo Chicken, Parmasean and Pesto, and Teriyaki flavored for all, no sauce, and they're not frozen.

    Inova Fair Oaks Hospital

    Hey I saw Dr Fitzer. I loved his office and I was able to have my surgery at Fair Oaks Hospital. Both experiences were perfect and pleasant Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

    Inova Fair Oaks Hospital

    My journey has been amazing! I wish I did this years ago. I had my surgery Oct 12th. Ive lost 63 lbs. as of today. I have never felt better. I can walk up stairs without being winded. I can be at work all day and not feel like I can't make it throughout the day without being so exhausted. I want to do more active things. More importantly I don't think about food all day.

  13. I'm experiencing the very same thing. I'm 5 months post op today. My hair was very think and full of body. Now it's extremely thin. I've thought about getting a sew in weave; however my stylist, thought it was cause too much tension in my hair. I'll take the advice with upping my Protein. Im already taking Biotin everyday. I'll take any other advice on how to improve my hair. I'm pretty sure I'll be cutting it soon. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

    Post sleeve comfort foods -roll call!

    Yo, ProYo! JohnZ54, is there any soy in this treat? I am EXTREMELY allergic to soy and the damn stuff is in just about everything. Thank YOU. Valentina Hello, it's a lil off topic but what is your reaction if you consume soy? My 8 year daughter is also extremely allergic to soy. She has vomiting and diarrhea. On another note, Healthy Choice also has a Greek frozen yogurt. I've found in the frozen foods section with the Healthy Choice section.
