Weight loss
OutsideMatchInside replied to shamel811's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't lose much the first month, well really the first 6 weeks. Once I could eat regular food, my weight loss picked up and I lost the bulk of my weight the 2nd and 3rd month. Also I think it has something to do with your set point. Previously i was losing and gaining that same weight over and over. When I got the point that was the lowest I had got in the few years before surgery, I was stuck there for like 2 weeks. Then once I got past that point, the weight has been falling off. -

I wear 4-5 inch heels. I could do it when I was at 370, but I couldn't wear them as long, certainly couldn't last all day. Now I can wear my heels all day/evening. My wedge sneakers are more comfortable. Everything is just less stress. It doesn't matter what your weight is, if you can't get used to walking on the balls of your feet, heels are always going to hurt.

"Categorically Excluded" - Did I assume wrong?
OutsideMatchInside replied to forgetit's topic in Insurance & Financing
Alabama is a state that WLS surgery is not considered an essential service. They don't have to cover it by state law, so they won't. http://nofusa.org/news/health-insurance-cover-obesity-treatment/ -
I didn't know how many stretch marks my stomach had, now that it is shrinking they are all out on display!

This diet seems like BS and I am pouting
OutsideMatchInside replied to forgetit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Also, calling the diet BS and unfair is why you are getting some of these responses. It not like you don't get to see the diet before surgery and make an educated decision. You made this choice, now you have to live with it. Once you get on soft foods everything is better. -

OutsideMatchInside replied to forgetit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you mentally hungry or physically hungry? If it is head hunger, find something to occupy your time. If it is physical hunger, are you taking acid medication? You aren't going to want to eat bread or Pasta. I mean you can try at some point later on but you are going to find they aren't as delicious or feel as good as they used to. They are likely to sit on your new stomach like a rock and make you miserable. 6 months might seem long, but I am 4 months out, and the time flies. I am not even sure what you mean by the diet being "fair". -
Yogurt, Milk - Dr against both for several months
OutsideMatchInside replied to HopeandAgony's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would say ask your surgeon about you personally. I talked to my Dr about some of the things in my books and all the Drs in the whole group/hospital use the same book. So people who are having DS or RNY are getting the same book as someone with the sleeve. They make it the same so it makes the pre-op classes and stuff easier. I found though asking questions, things can be different with the sleeve. -
PRE-OP LIQUID DIET CHEATER

Try Overeaters Anonymous. Or at least read the book. It helps, you learn all the coping skills. -
At 6 Wks be going home for Christmas. They don't know! What can I eat to blend in?
OutsideMatchInside replied to itstimealready's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have soup. If you have to suck it up and eat mashed potatoes. I'd dodge Christmas and use work as an excuse or something. -
Ideas for ready made stuff I can buy to eat?
OutsideMatchInside replied to wagyu's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
You can bake swai fish, it is basically fool proof. If you really want to be healthy it is better to cook for yourself so you know exactly what you are eating. -
Make sure you call your Dr ASAP. They should have an after hours number.

You should talk to your Dr, but I wouldn't trust and oral contraceptive after Bypass. Does your Gyn know you had surgery?

Incision scars
OutsideMatchInside replied to animel's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Almost all of mine are invisible except the one cut that was right across a large stretch mark, it turned dark but it is starting to lighten. I used these http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=414081&catid=287261&aid=338666&aparam=414081&kpid=414081&CAWELAID=120142990000030793&CAGPSPN=pla I cut them in half and kept them on almost all day and a strong put Vitamin E oil on at night. I'm 3.5 months out. I am pretty sure by 6 months you won't even be able to see them. -
Regret, depression & anxiety

Work with your doctor on getting your GERD under control. That will go a long way to helping you feel better about your decision. -

I like these. http://www.eatmeguiltfree.com/products/chocolate-brownie-12-pack-box Sweets aren't really a thing and chocolate isn't either but when you get tired of Protein shake and Quest bars they are a nice change of pace. I like that that they are portion controlled. -

When you have no appetite/hunger...
OutsideMatchInside replied to OutsideMatchInside's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I meet my Protein goals every day and I take all my Vitamins. I'm trying to keep the pretty I have. So I'm not starving myself by any means. Lately I have been busy and I have to supplement with Protein shakes at the end of the day. I don't have a set schedule and I am rarely around people that are eating. My apps reminds me to log my food and that helps some days, but I lately I just don't care about food. I get really into work and don't eat, this is something I did before and I don't want to go down that road again. -
No more than 30 minutes per meal? How does that work?
OutsideMatchInside replied to Runner1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Runner1 I can tell you what my program was but every program is different But basically you start at 2 oz and work your way up. Since you were just sleeved this month, 2oz might be easier at this point. The important thing is to always measure your food, so you aren't over eating or stressing your stomach. -

OutsideMatchInside replied to Runner1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tuna is also dry and harder to process. Maybe a softer fish would be easier. If you measure your food out and are eating a proper portion size and it takes longer than 30 minutes that isn't bad, not early on. The time limit is just there to try and stop you from eating all day. -
Giving up all my clothes is really crushing my soul in a way that is surprising me.

I know this feeling. Most of my current wardrobe consists of jeans, yoga pants and sweatshirt jackets. On very short notice my son asked us to go to his best friends wedding so my granddaughter would not have to sit alone. (He was best man and seated at head table) I had to run out and find clothes suitable for a wedding. That was about 6 weeks ago and the gorgeous slacks I bought are now too big. Gah!
Of course i was in between sizes and had to go up a size so I knew this would happen to me.

Anyone try jalapeños peppers?
OutsideMatchInside replied to sarahbethemails's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I have hot sauce and hot wings all the time, no issues at all. I am a sleeve patient though, no idea what its like for RNY patients. -
At soft foods I started on baked fish.
