He is under doctors care would have covered it without it being a lie. PEOPLE ARE NOT ENTITLED TO KNOW YOU HAVE SURGERY JUST BECAUSE THEY ASK. Do people walk up to women without children and ask how they are keeping their uterus on lockdown? Pill? IUD? No, they don't because it is rude, a personal issue and affects them in no way. I don't understand why people don't get this. Other people are not entitled to your life. I told my friend in pre-op I was thinking about surgery and she told people she thought didn't count even though I told her to tell no one. I have kept so many of her trifling secrets and she couldn't keep this on for me. Our friendship is totally different in my eyes. I will never ever trust her again. Trust once broken can't be regained, at least not with me. She went from bestie to associate. I have no idea what I would do if my spouse violated me like that.

Shrimp I had early, crab too, probably too early on crab, but it was delicious so yolo.

Do you track everything you have with am app? Can you post it? Like a sample day? How many minutes do you walk once? How far? Walking totally works but you have to walk a decent amount of time and distance

About 3 months because they are tough.

Everything you ate is basically a slider food, but you don't want to test your staple line. This is temporary. Once you are healed it's solid food till you die

@@Madea61 it did for me. I will admit, I was never on insulin and controlled with pills. I could control my sugar well eating keto, before surgery but it was too hard to maintain and I still had to watch portions. It is a lot easier to eat properly with the sleeve.

When you are watching calories and macros, portions are really important. I have a scale and weigh my food. I was weighing mostly just my meat, and using measuring cups or going by the package for weights (like one preset portion weighs X). I recently started weighing everything because I discovered that most measurements we were off. This video explains it better than words. Putting measuring cups and spoons on my scale and zeroing it out, I have discovered that most of the time a level amount is more than it should be. So weighing allows me to get the amounts exact. Not weighing your food can mean easily going over your calories by 200 or more in a day, depending on what you are eating. Here is a reddit thread with some examples of how the calories add up https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/44y2d5/the_importance_of_weighing_your_food/

I live alone, the day I was discharged, which was 24 hours after surgery, my friend was here. The only thing she really helped with was filling my prescriptions. I was self sufficient and she left the next day. Everyone is different though, it would hurt to have help, even if annoying. If you don't need her just send her home. Also even if she is annoying, you can fake sleep a lot.

If people were being totally honest, you can lose all the weight you want with diet, and not exercise. Your body will burn fat for energy without exercise. Exercising is about fitness, not weight loss.

@@PissiChrissi If you haven't worked out in years or with a trainer for years, why are you giving someone else advice and pissing on their plan when they are just getting started? Why not sweep around your own front door before you sweep around someone else's. @@Soon2BHealthyAggie Running in Water is harder than running in sand, since you have the resistance all around you. It is an awesome workout.

If you have worked with these world renowned trainers, why is your BMI so high?

@@OKCPirate Weighing salad veggies is so much easier and you get better results because you don't have the volume issues.

Water aerobics classes vary so much this is a useless debate. I used to do HIIT in the water and burn over 700 calories a workout. There is the old people doing Tai Chi at the Y and then there are advanced aqua Zumba and Aqualogix classes. Aqualogix is so rare I doubt anyone here has done it but Division I, athletes use it.

What about eyeroll and ignore? the more information you give some people, the more they are going to ask. They don't really care they are being nosey.

Feeling full post op is the most uncomfortable thing, once it happens to you, you will never want to feel it again. Don't aim for full, aim for satisfied.

@@jessjames space it out so you eat every 2 hours or you will go nuts. I went to bed every night at 9 or 9:30 on pre-op. My diet was all liquids only and i felt like i was running on air. Still it was worth it in the end. @@jessjames space it out so you eat every 2 hours or you will go nuts. I went to bed every night at 9 or 9:30 on pre-op.

@@jessjames I do intermitten fasting. I haven't lately but i plan on going back to it. I fast 16 hours, and eat my food in an 8 hour window. I don't start eating until noon and stop by 8pm. You can't eat all your calories in one sitting for a long list of reasons, mainly your body won't absorb it all. Post op, you can't ingest much at once. Intermitten fasting is a great way to combat cravings and learn control. I did it before i decided on surgery with some friends and helped a lot.

Sleeves aren't fully healed until 6 months, what you feel before 6 months isn't restriction, it is a traumatized organ healing. Sure there is restriction, but you shouldn't think of that early restriction as your restriction. Long term that isn't even what you want, because you need to be able to consume enough calories to be an active person. You don't want to start your sleeve journey relying on restriction to tell you how much to eat and when to stop. Weight your food, eat your proper portion. Stop. Thats it. Don't push it. You should know you can eat more because you shouldn't be eating more than your weighed portion. Make this habit early, so later on this is what you are used to and you don't have issues.

If its just high Protein low cal, why not eat meat? Or are you on a liquid pre-op? If you aren't a vegetarian or a vegan, eating meat is going to keep you more satisfied. Also when you only have 800 calories to work with, you don't want to blow 300 on Breakfast. I have learned that the hard way. You could have a protein shake that is around 160 calories for breakfast, then another one at mid morning instead of spending 300 calories at breakfast. Think of your daily calories like money and you are on vacation. You have 800 a day and you need to make it last. Do you really want to have lobster and crab followed up with a visit to spa all before 10am? Space your calories out, if you eat every 2 hours, not just Jello. Head hunger won't be such an issue.

It tasted better than Quest. It just isn't as good as the Oh Yeah Bars, which don't even taste like protein bars.

I tried one of these last week in an emergency, I was out shopping too long and I was starving. It was okay. I was really hungry and it was just okay, so that means it probably isn't that good. The best bars I have tried so far are Oh Yeah One Bars. The birthday cake and lemon are amazing.

My salad is 33-35 calories. 15 calories for veggies, zero calories for dressing and 20 calories for a sprinkling of cheese. Calorie free dressing https://www.waldenfarms.com/products/dressings.html The best way to calculate calories is with weight, so weigh each type of veggie, and weigh the dressing. If you use a food tracking app, you can make recipes in it and it will do all the math for you

The difference in the amount of weight you lose between the sleeve and the bypass long term is very narrow. Long term the results are very similar. If you follow the program you can be successful with either. With all of those medical conditions, I would thank that malaborption would be something you want to avoid. I would ask your other doctors what surgery they think you should have before just agreeing to what the bariatric center is saying.

I use loseit. It has the lowest yearly subscription rate for premium. I like the features and how you can set different goals. I used to use fitbit, but since I stopped using my fitbit I have tested a few out and loseit, is the winner for now. None of them are perfect but at least I can set my macro goals, bmi goal, weight goal, and body fat goal.

I buy whatever I want. I don't cut corners on my bras. The only thing I do make sure of is that if I buy something that I plan on wearing it within a week or 2, or I buy it a size smaller than I fit. Life is too short for cheap clothes. I'm not going to punish myself for losing weight quickly. I battle with head hunger all the time. Winning that battle, I deserve whatever I want. Don't sell yourself short just because you are winning at weight loss.
