tamywill replied to Fat2Phat2016's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am four weeks RNY post-op. I still enjoy watching my favorite programs on the Food Network. Now when I see the chefs doing a recipe; I am trying to figure out if I could make that a "healthier recipe". -
First doctor appointment since surgery.
tamywill replied to kvoneye's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Sounds like you are off to a great start. Congratulation to you! Have you tried adding the unflavored protein powder to soups etc.. ? A half scoop is usually ten grams of protein. Continue to work towards getting your 64oz.daily. Keep your water bottle nearby. You can add a zero calorie flavor and some unflavored protein. Hope this helps you. -
It is available on Amazon. You might find it at your hospital pharmacy-- hospital where you had/have your surgery. I purchased it at a local ( non- chain) pharmacy. I was able to save shipping/handling charges.

Psych Eval in Boston Area? Help!
tamywill replied to EmilyIsSleeved's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I am surprised that the nutritionist or surgeon did not recommend a psychologist or social worker. You should ask them. Best wishes to both of you. -
Psych Eval Monday! But have a concern :(
tamywill replied to abtenney419's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you really going to let this $250 stand between you and the chance to have an operation that will help you be healthy, your second chance, your "do over". It sounds like you have already completed everything on the checklist! You cannot stop now! My surgery is on 10/26. Best wishes to you. -

What helped you eat slower?

Have you checked out the Bariatric Timer app. You can download to your phone or tablet. It can help you with eating and drinking times. -
I had an abdominal ultrasound and upper GI series as part of my pre-op testing. The tests revealed a small hiatal hernia and gallstones. The surgeon is going to repair the hernia and remove my gallbladder during my gastric bypass surgery. I am scheduled for Oct.21. Only 33 days from now!

The Bariatric Support group at the hospital has a clothing swap night. On that night, you bring good clothing that you will no longer be wearing to give away or swap. -
