All I want is to drink
KristenLe replied to ncw0813's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Get some protein water - and don't worry about eating right now. -
Most likely. They always have when I've had surgery. If there's reason to believe you could be pregnant - please speak to your surgical team.

Before and after in your sixties
KristenLe replied to Julie norton's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
You look wonderful! Congrats! Cute dogs too! -
There will be alot of options for you - except maybe late night. Pack some Protein shakes and bars just in case.

Omg! I know the penicillin taste you're talking about. Lol.

If you don't go - it'll be worse. If you're depression is under control with meds there's no reason that would exclude you from WLS.
-
I read alot about pain after losing weight - particularly hip pain. Not sure if anyone knows what causes it.
-
If those feeling weak or tired are on any meds - talk to your physician about whether they need adjusting (especially BP meds).

Feel like I dont care about anything anymore
KristenLe replied to KittyCathy22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you don't feel better on the meds - talk to your Psychiatrist about what's going on. Be sure to stay with counseling too! -
It's probably from Ketosis. Normal. Try having him brush his tongue to see if it helps.

@@pr_pitbullgrl You are sexy and hot! It's about time you noticed! Lol

Talk to your Surgeon and NUT about your eating habits and they'll help decide what's best. I'm not sure success is different with either option - you still need to change the way you eat. My Surgeon suggested the sleeve for me.
-
If your depression is controlled it shouldn't be an issue. Take advantage of the eval and get any counseling suggested as it'll be easier to get things under control pre-surgery.

Why are you considering GP now?

Yum!!!

2 months after surgery talking divorce
KristenLe replied to FatDan&TiredOfIt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can only say that children are better off with 2 happy parents - even if they aren't together than 2 unhappy parents staying in a relationship only for the children. Don't stay together for the children - do whatever will make you happy and be a good parent! If that's working it out than great! -
Puréed food recipe or the best puréed food?
KristenLe replied to cat.jackson89's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
@@mytwopugs ? No beans. That's strange - highlighted beans on my diet plan. -
Same here @@Kindle - I've had several too and never was put on blood thinners. They don't prescribe for everyone - it could actually cause bleeding in patients who don't need them.
-
This is fairly common. It's hormones and hopefully you'll feel better both mentally and physically soon. I also recommend this book. http://www.amazon.com/Emotional-First-Aid-Kit-Practical/dp/0976852659

Keep taking it as prescribed. Try a heating pad for your pain. I wonder if you're feeling the gas pain in your hips. I hope it eases up soon. You've got to walk - especially to avoid blood clots. Call your surgeon if doesn't get better.

Are you on pain meds?

Your original "goal" was probably based on BMI for your height. I find BMI extremely unrealistic for many of us. Mine is low 100's - which I can't imagine what that would "look like" but it's not realistic. I am choosing 150 (and if I get to 140 I'll be ecstatic). I'm only 5'2". Why set a goal that's unrealistic - we'll only feel like failures when we don't get there.

Protein shakes and food source protein
KristenLe replied to mmy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not sure if they have them outside US but there are protein waters with 7-9gms protein that you can add to your daily intake. It will count as water and protein. I get some at my local grocery store. -
Food addiction, willpower and exhaustion

Great post - thanks for sharing! My therapist had a similar conversation with me this week. :-).
