Guys my family had a birthday on Saturday it was a crab feast if your in Maryland we have amazing blue crabs but guys there were 3 cakes ok 3 for 1 persons birthday whyyyyy. Mind you if already maxed out my carbs for the day but come on 3 friggin cakes

The 3 weeks prior I can basically have anything as long as it has less than 5 grams of sugar and contains zero flour other than that I get all the meat veggies stuff like that I even get things like halo top ice cream and as long as I stick to a single serving dark chocolate or sugar free chocolate

So I’m the primary decision maker in the house of me and my hubs and we bulk shop and there is some great stuff you can get bulk shopping. I get all my protein there I get my protein drinks my vitamins my frozen fruit veggies all of it you just basically have to say in you big person voice look guys I know you did not choose this diet lifestyle what have you but I need x y z and all the other letters on the alphabet including the Greek one so I’m coming to the store or handing you a list get me my stuff and y’all get what ever you want and don’t negotiate

I love Oprah and this made my week

Thats great! Im glad to have someone to compare notes with. So what kind of diet does your surgeons require preop mine is 3 weeks no starch which happens in like 16 days then for 2 days prior I get to be on clear liquids only which includes broth any kind jello any kind and drink that says zero and sugar free popsicle oh and clear protein water

We’re twinsies

I can agree with other posters the iv is annoying but the mask they put on your face smells sweet like roses and the doctor says we’re going to help you relax now you will feel something warm in your iv and then wake up and ask to pee

You have to spread them apart you can only absorb 500mg of calcium at a time also you have to take multi and calcium 2 hours apart otherwise the iron in the multi binds with the calcium and neither work

A ppi is a proton pump inhibitors like Zantac or omeprazol

Hon I have had 8 surgeries not once did I need a female exam and I’m a survivor as well it’s ok you can bring a trusted female friend with you to any appointment like that

Hi Collin I’m 27 so a tad bit older but first get a therapist any major change like this is going to affect u I’m still pre surgery btw but also honestly find friends that encourage good habits within you find a core like a good core group I’ve had the same 3 friends from college two of whom have had bariatric surgery with my same hospital so find your tribe I’ve been spending time with the same core group for 10 years my husband 18

Ok for anesthesia ask for the spocoloman patch behind your ear it will save you from soooo much nausea and vomiting that you just do not want if you don’t know if you will get if you have never been under ask for something for the nerves in your Iv it’s worth it and it will calm you down they most likely will place the iv in your hand that will be the sucky part honestly it doesn’t feel Very good but it’s placed there for a reason trust me you want it there fore arm is waaaay worse

Hon if my mother inlaw can immigrate from Peru after having 3 kids while going thru medical school then do residency while having a surgeon as a husband while having two more kids and still at almost 80 be a practicing psychiatrist you got this women are strong

I’m very much hippie bohemian style but those cloths are cut smaaaaal so I can’t wait to be little because it’s just always been my style

I’m definitely stealing witchcraft

There is a actual reason for this how many times have you seen adds for fad diets or the show the biggest loser or anything similar. It is because we have zero clue even from a medical standpoint what healthy should look like doctors are not actually trained in nutrition they simply aren’t and the people writing the nutritional guidelines or the American diabetes association the American heart association and the American cancer society are actually the food industry. So funny thing in America did you know there is no guideline on any label for sugar even though we know it’s the leading cause of obesity number one cause but every thing else has a value try it go look at any food label. We are having our nutrition guides paid for by Coca Cola and Kraft foods essentially now what do these companies sell sugar. Key thing meat you buy in the super market has sugar in it but local you can actually find a farm near you and buy a whole cow or pig or what have you for pennies on the dollar

I’ve not heard of this

First since you have united health care they have a bariatric nurse that you will need to work with call the member services number on the back of your card and ask to speak to a benefit counselor they can tell you everything in your specific plan also by law it is all required to be online so you can create a login thru your specific company and see it all in clear print right online

So potatoes are a no veggie because they are a starch same as beans corn rice and yucca most nutritionists don’t want starches in the diet not carbs big difference we’re allowed 50 grams of net carbs a day in weight loss phase just not starches
