Anyone else hate Gatorade?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to mel1214's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just hate the diet versions. G2 and Powerade Zero because that's all I would drink post op. I do like Vitamin water but the amount of carbs in that are insane...

how do you get those cool trackers
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to Sunnyday25's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Were there any that you were looking for in particular? You can find most of them on Google Play/App Store. I'm not sure if you use Apple or Android.

Liquids / acidic drinks
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to SGirl35's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I tried some at around that time and it made me feel so crappy. I don't remember the exact feeling but it was enough to remember to never drink it again. I don't even buy juice when I'm at the store. The most I'll drink is Apple juice if I absolutely have to but most of the time when I'm not home I usually have other options on what to drink. I used to love orange juice. Now it's just not on the list of any beverages I'd personally recommend.... Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-159 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Large in shirts...

What are you treating yourself to once you hit your goal weight???

The minute my old clothes fell off my hips and couldn't stay up--even with a belt, is when I bought new clothes. I'm still trying to figure out what my new size is.

Birth control after RNY

Post Surgery Tastebuds Changes: tell me yours

It's okay. I eat mostly seafood and leafy greens. I walk up steep hills and go to the gym for at least an hour twice a week at the moment. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-164 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats.

What If They Ask?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to Deleted Account's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I haven't but you're not obligated to tell them anything. If they gossip or can't keep secrets and you don't want the whole world knowing... Do you really think they absolutely have to know what they did. Word got around about me having my surgery and I never said anything to anyone about it. Be careful who you tell... Some people have a mouth that never stays closed. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-164 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Large in shirts... Could be a medium. depends on how it's cut or made.

I never really minded exercising, I'd go for walks before surgery if the weather was okay enough. I went to a gym once a week for a few months. It gave me energy and I'd always feel good about myself after I left. I wasn't limited on movement at all back then, I was just lazy. Still kinda am. I'm active 3 days out of the week.

How many calories do you eat per day?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to dreamingsmall's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm going on 5 months out. Mine is around 330-700 calories a day. Depends on what I have to eat and what I'm in the mood for. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-165 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Not sure of my shirt size yet. Surgery Date- April 26th, 2017 RNY "Only those who try will become" FFX -
I didn't have Staples, they used that surgical glue on me with the steri-strips on me. I don't have a good answer for you about scarring and staples, but my scars aren't bad. Just depends on how your body heals and if you scar easily. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-166 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Not sure of my shirt size yet.

Cleared to workout?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to RnYMike's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just got cleared to do sports today. I was probably allowed to do it back in June but I wanted to wait til I felt like I was completely healed and capable of drinking enough water and eating enough protein.

I don't have the pain right over my spine but I do have lower and upper back pain. One I blame on my boobs for being too big for my body now and the other is because I have a mattress that is due for an appointment with the dumpster outside but I'm too poor to buy a new mattress at the moment. Sometimes the heating pad I have helps with the pain. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-168 GW-130 Surgery Date- April 26th, 2017 RNY "Only those who try will become" FFX

Absolutely Terrified of my impending procedure this Tuesday
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to Jheckman1986's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I understand the being fearful feeling. I actually cried on the operating table right before I passed out from the Anesthesia, because I was so scared I wasn't going to wake up. Two hours later, I woke up in recovery and was fine, aside from the pain I had. Haven't had any complications either. None that weren't able to be fixed by me. Dehydration, for example. You'll do fine. Especially since you're mostly healthy, aside from being diabetic. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-168 GW-130 Surgery Date- April 26th, 2017 RNY "Only those who try will become" FFX -
Must-haves for the hospital?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to Seerae3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The extension cord for my phone... And comfy loose clothes and a wireless bra. The chapstick. I did bring those things and a heating pad and blanket but the hospital wouldn't let me use it. They had an alternative to that but I didn't have enough strength to activate it. I never used the blanket I bought because I didn't feel like moving to get it, let alone walk around. The only thing I wish I had back then was unlimited data because their WiFi sucked. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app -

B12 injections or pill?
Myaiku_Kuraitani replied to Shades171's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pills work for some and not others. I get the B12 shot every 3 months. Seems to work fine for me. ---------------------------- HW- 273 Pre-op Wt- 230 SW- 226 CW- 170 GW- 130 Ht- 5'2.5" DOS- April 26th, 2017 "Only those who try will become." ~FFX -
Reminder: drink water before any lab work!
