1 week post op dreaming about food
Joann454 replied to Crystaltothefuture's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Last night in my dream I was eating all kinds of horrible stuff and I was still only nine days out. It was a huge relief when I woke up! -
Not sure if I have blown my chance....

Joann454 replied to slimmingsteff's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So is it more like lchf? I will google it because I need to learn how to eat this way anyway. Just curious if it's similar. -
I started using them. No issues. 9 days out from sleeve.

Any one ordered through Bariatric Pal before?
Joann454 replied to Lexington1020's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
I bought Centrum chewable vitamins for adults (2x per day) Wellness calcium citrate liquid (2x per day) Vitamin B12 dots (sublingual 2x per day) I have the sleeve so I'm not sure what your requirements are. I've had no problems taking these daily. I can't take iron and am post menopause so no extra for me. I was told no gummies for vitamins. -
Metabolism levels a year or two after surgery?
Joann454 replied to s2dm's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
They gave me a list of acceptable foods and how often and much I should be eating but I didn't add up the calories. I have several follow up appointments with my NUT so I'm sure we'll discuss each phase as I get there. I'm currently getting around 500 calories and it's just not sustainable long term. -

Joann454 replied to s2dm's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm still in the full liquids phase but when I start eating, if I can't hit minimum calorie goals at first, I'll supplement with protein shakes etc. I truly fear screwing up my metabolism long term. Eventually eating all of our calories seems very doable. -
When will I feel the restriction?
Joann454 replied to SouthJerseySleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been told restriction wasn't felt till people eat dense foods. I too can get liquids down like it's nothing so I was a bit concerned. -
Good luck, it'll all be a memory soon and you'll be on your way to a healthier life!

Yeti cups work great. Walmart sells a similar version (can't remember the name but the logo is mountains) that cup works just as well and less money. They both keep my drinks cold for hours!

Early is so much better! I was the middle of the day and it got delayed an hour. Nerve wracking. Good luck!!

Thanks! Going right now

Yum! Decaf?

WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS

I'm confused. Have you decided to diet and not have wls? -
Surgery postponed for the right reason
Joann454 replied to Seahawks Fan's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Right! I was committed but terrified of the surgery. So I felt ambivalent. I haven't experienced one second of regret (I'm sure no complications is helping). -
My sister is back at weight watchers years after her RNY she's gained about 50-60 lbs. She never found a healthy way to eat that she could sustain. Dumping disappeared and she was able to go back to eating chocolate and basically whatever she wanted. Portions increased. It's so clear we have to make this a permanent change ourselves. It scares me that I won't. Maybe it's good to be scared. Idk.

Denied or Cancelled after arrival in Mexico?
Joann454 replied to Angieh1969's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I was able to forward my results of my leg ultrasound to Dr Ilian and he very responsibly said "no". Fortunately my second test was ok and insurance approved me so I got to have it at home. It was easy to share info and they were very good about having other Drs look over my report.
