I have not been very accountable lately!
TinyTink replied to mtraverse's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't love running no matter what the temperature. You're way ahead of me on that one. -
How sad is this?
TinyTink replied to JamieLogical's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm right there with ya! Even magazine covers with the latest and greatest diet plan. I'm glad I don't need to try anything anymore and waste my money. -
4 year surgiversary - 62 years young - feel wonderful
TinyTink replied to ProudGrammy's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
Silly grammy, I AM Tink!! Peter and I have been busy fighting Captain Fork, whoops I mean Captain Hook, for so long now it's good to have made it to SLEEVELAND. I have been quite fortunate. I was able to meet my Water goal on my third day postop, and met my Protein goal with shakes starting yesterday. I'm not the most frequent poster in the land, but I read and learn from everyone. Very grateful to have this forum to come to every day. -
Google the recipe for "Shelly's Ricotta Bake". YUMMO! She has an amazing blog with tons of recipes and tips. Very nice lady.

I can't believe I can wear this sort of thing now!

Yes, REALLY! Woot, woot!! -
We all have our different blessings to bear, don't we. I personally thing BMI charts are a bunch of hooey! If you're at a weight that is healthy for you and you feel great, more power to you!

I was so excited to read your post. Congratulations, you are a wonderful role model here. -
Every doctor you come across will have a different pre-op diet. You'll need to follow what is recommended by your doctor and nutritionist. Mine was three shakes a day, plus one meal with Protein and veggies. Depending on BMI, some patients only need three days of liquids. Lots of factors.

I'm so sorry about your dog. Losing a pet sometimes can feel worse than humans because they love you so unconditionally. Do you have a counselor you can talk to? If not, please come post here when you need to and someone will help you through it. Best of luck to you!

Can't tolerate protein drinks
TinyTink replied to waterbaby's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
You can always add in a squirt of sugar-free Torani syrup to change the flavor. I use Almond, Coconut, and Black Cherry the most but I went overboard and bought eight different ones. -
Joyful Tears or Cold Sweats?
TinyTink replied to befitnotskinny's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Excellent advice. -

TinyTink replied to ready4therealme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry, but your doctor is a little off his rocker. 10 pounds is awesome!! And progress is progress. You are by no means a failure. I hope you'll be able to reach your Fluid and Protein goals soon. -
Sharing before and After pics finally

Wow, very impressive! And another cruise fan too. -
You could add some sugar-free Torani syrup to change up the flavor. I have eight different ones and I'm never bored with my shakes.

Good for you! I'm glad to hear you're going to track again. I've found it very helpful. Only 67 days until Spring! -
I doctor up Premier Protein with different flavoring sometimes. The protein I really like the most is Atkins. They only have 15g per serving, but 15 is better than nothing if you're way low. You could the powder with Fairlife milk to boost protein even more. I buy the ready to drink kind and they are the most like chocolate milk to me.

Dumb question - I hope it won't offend
TinyTink posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I'm having VSG next Saturday in Tijuana. Can I drink the water? Or should I plan on buying bottled water somewhere? Someone told me I shouldn't even drink the water or ice chips at the hospital. That can't be...... -
You definitely need to increase fluids. I believe most plans shoot for 64 oz a day. I hope you feel better soon!
-
Sounding dehydrated. How much Water and Protein are you getting?
-
That would really tick me off too. I'm sure it is meant to be some kind of compliment from someone who just can't say how great you look and that's what they come up with.
-
I'm going to buy a cheapo hip scarf off eBay I think. Glad you ladies like it too!
-
Awesome!! Hope you're back on your feet and feeling fine very soon.
-
You are soooo close! Best of luck with your surgery!!
-
Wow! That's a pound a day. Amazing job.

Coming up on the 9th for me.
