Can we talk about boobs and bras?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to Real California April's topic in The Gals' Room
Well, I went from being a 44F and now I'm a 36C. Once I get a reduction to where I'm supposed to be I'll probably be a B or an A. Which is fine with me. I never liked having big boobs. Lol My boobs are sad looking right now but mehh. I'm just happy I can walk in to a family dollar or Walmart and buy a bra. I'm 28. I have to pick up my boobs and put them inside the cups. It's like they're far beyond my years. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-138 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Small in shirts. depends on how it's cut or made.

If I find something, then cool. If not... That's cool too. I'm probably sounding some type of way right now or whatever but I just feel like putting myself out there. I feel like when I try with someone who hasn't had the surgery, they just don't understand me at all... Or just anything for that matter. (Would have left a picture but they wouldn't let me).

Just starting my journey pre-op
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to viky88's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
How they tell you that you can't have gummy vitamins if you've had RNY when you actually can. All that talk about how it won't absorb well isn't exactly true unless said person isn't healing well or isn't even taking any vitamins. I was told by my surgeon's team that since I'm completely healthy, I can take gummies. So I'm taking them. The chewable vitamins are gross to me and I refuse to take them anyway. Lol I wish I would have known I could take the gummies way ahead of time. I would have bought boat loads of them. These things are delicious and it has me wishing I could eat more than two per day for each vitamin I have. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-139 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats.

When was your first time having to dine out??
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to 2feelinggreatagain's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Some time last summer. I went to QDoba and had a shrimp salad. Didn't eat the entire thing but the dining out thing was successful. Didn't get myself sick.

Can we have Splenda?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to babu1995's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can, but most people get Stevia or something like it. I get Stevia or the other thing that sounds like Stevia but actually tastes better. Especially with tea.

Shrimp and zucchini noodles with pesto. And a chicken kale salad. Mainly because those are quick and easy to make and the one with kale is just sooo filling. Lol They're both my go to recipes. I make them more than anything else, although meatballs aren't such a bad idea either... Don't mind me I'm kinda just debating about lunch for tomorrow now lol. Breakfast is a whole different story. 🙂 Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-140 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Small in shirts. depends on how it's cut or made.

Unable to tolerate meat!?!?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to readyforachange66502's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Maybe it's still too soon. Just a guess. Try again later or try having meat different ways. I know the meats you've listed are more dense. If you aren't allergic to shrimp, I've found that for me, that goes down easier than salmon or any other fish. Have you tried ground turkey or chicken? Maybe Scallops? Red meats are usually harder to digest and are more dense. I rarely eat them. Sometimes if you let them sit in a marinade for a half hour to an hour, that might make it go down a little easier. Even if you have the meat sitting in some gravy, that helps bunches too. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-140 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Small in shirts. depends on how it's cut or made.

Omeprazole intake
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to shsd87's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took it for three months but then weaned myself off of it once I felt like I no longer needed it. I told my bariatric team that I did and they weren't really in favor of my decision. I'm still off the medication because I still feel like I don't need it. I've been off it since September and feel fine. I was on it from June-ish til then. Been off ever since.

Can you feel your remnant stomach?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to blackrosevamp's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Nope. Haven't really given that remnant stomach any thought... Til now. In the back of my mind, I know it's there but it's like I forget about it. It's just an organ that isn't really doing much that's just floating about in there... I dunno. Lol Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-140 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats.

Definitely not the only one. I know I've had multiple food funerals before my surgery day came.

Diarrhea during post-op liquid diet?

How many calories do you eat in a day?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to elliekay's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm less than a week away from being 9 months out and I get about 650 calories in each day. Sometimes I get about 200 extra calories in, just depends on where I am and if I'm "treating" myself. Otherwise, it's 650-700. Usually the lowest amount... But if you're 1.5 years out then you should probably getting in around the 1200 range. I'm just eating what I can and when I'm not hungry anymore, I stop. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-142 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Small in shirts. depends on how it's cut or made.

Do you feel you did the right thing
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to thinagain121's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery and was fine from then onward. I was just hormonal. I never left regretting any of it but the good news is that you will feel normal one of these days, I just can't tell you when. When varies for each person who has had the surgery. I felt like myself, I just didn't feel like the "me" that could eat as much as I wanted, when I wanted and I embraced that. At first I missed it a lot but the whole point of the surgery for me was controlling that, amongst other things. 🙂 Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-142 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats.

How do I take a non-chewable multivitamin?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to Xerox's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They'll tell you to do multiple pills. They said the same thing to me and it's what I'm currently doing. I've lowered how many pills I take by getting the B12 shot. Some people eventually do the vitamin patches and don't even take any pills at all. It just depends on what your surgeon says is okay to take and what you will absorb.

How do I take a non-chewable multivitamin?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to Xerox's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just either take gummies or recently I've found a pill on my own by a brand that I can just swallow whole and it's tiny.... But it's an iron supplement not multivitamin. I can't do chewables, they make me gag. As for the advice for the multivitamin, how many months post op are you? If you are not just starting out, see if your PCP can prescribe you a multivitamin that you can just swallow whole. I did that and it's working out fine.

I've eaten sushi and sashimi at 3 months post op without a problem. I was scared at first but I just told myself I would never know til I tried. Rice is like a slider food anyway for me but since there's a little protein in sushi, I could only eat like two of them things back then and be satisfied.

Sugars or Sweeteners?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to ancirasd's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't do regular sugar anymore. I just use sweeteners like Stevia or Splenda (If I'm not home and there are no other options). Usually just regular sugar gives me nausea so I don't even mess with it. Stevia has been my main use for sweetening drinks and stuff now. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-143 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats.
