    Cravings

    DaleCruse replied to Kris loves sea turtles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    With all due respect, you're trying to solve a problem you don't yet have. I had cravings shortly after surgery but about two or three weeks later they went away. I bet yours will too. Good luck!

    Wow, good for you!

    Congratulations! I don't think we post enough photos here so good for you!

    I only spent one overnight in the hospital for observation. Next morning the surgeon came to visit, took one look at me, & said, "You look like you haven't even had surgery!" I said, "Great! Send me home!"

    I had to do six months also. Congratulations & good luck!

    Apprehensive

    DaleCruse replied to Vivian Krueget's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Totally normal. I was scared as hell. I'd be more worried if you weren't concerned at all!

    Weight loss so far

    DaleCruse replied to gryffen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I would try. Consult your nutritionist if you're unsure how much protein you should be getting. Good luck!

    Am I Going to Feel Nauseated Forever?

    DaleCruse replied to MeltsIntoWonder's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    You won't feel nauseous forever. There's nothing you'll feel forever. Good luck!

    Gagging and throwing up

    DaleCruse replied to Techeliza's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    No need to apologize for posting often! Support is why we're here! That said, have you talked with your surgical team about this? I can't imagine they'd want you throwing up all the time. Good luck!

    Doubters

    DaleCruse replied to LiLiTsc's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I work for a major company & that behavior wouldn't be tolerated. If someone said that to me, I'd go straight to human resources.

    It was days after surgery before I had my first sip. Start with a sip. See how you tolerate it. If you tolerate it well, have a little more. If you don't tolerate it well, you're not ready. Try again a week or so later. Good luck!

    On my own on surgery day.

    Low acid coffee

    DaleCruse replied to Bogie61's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I too started drinking coffee again just days after surgery. The only way to know for sure how you'll tolerate it is to try some and see how you do. Be careful and good luck!
  14. DaleCruse
    I've never even heard of this. Good luck!

    My surgery was more than two years ago but I remember freaking out too. I was convinced I was going to die on the operating table. But I decided that not having surgery was worse for my health than the risks of having it. Now I realize this was one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself.

    Family Reunion with Large Family

    DaleCruse replied to txsrooster's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Past does not have to equal prologue. Good luck to you!

    Mama June could say exactly the same thing.

    Feel like sabotaging today

    DaleCruse replied to snapy17's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    It's more than 24 hours later. Do you still want that bagel?

    Coffee

    DaleCruse replied to braydens.momma's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was also allowed coffee as soon as I was ready to tolerate it. That was true of almost everything I eat and drink. When I was ready, I was ready. When I read others who say their surgical team says no caffeine for six months or no alcohol ever or something, I always want to ask their surgical team to justify why. If they can't, then I wouldn't put much faith in it. Good luck.

    4 days post op and very thirsty +

    DaleCruse replied to Elizabethtash's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I wouldn't drink skin milk but I can't imagine that one glass of skim milk or ice water is going to hurt you. Start with small sips. If you tolerate it well, have more. If you don't, don't. Good luck!

    Feel like sabotaging today

    DaleCruse replied to snapy17's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Do you want us to tell you to eat a bagel or not eat a bagel?
  22. DaleCruse
    THIS.

    Water every 15 minutes???

    DaleCruse replied to Kris_Aloha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    lol, well, guess what? I'm 2.5 years post surgery and I still struggle to stay hydrated. The real point isn't that you have to drink every 15 minutes. The real point is that you need to stay hydrated. You're only screwed if you think you are. Good luck!

    I have questions please help!

    DaleCruse replied to Beavuz842's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Don't freak out. Take some, but don't beat yourself up about it. Be kind to yourself. Good luck!

    Who are you - or me - to decide who is doing weight loss "right"? How is this Mama June any more the "face of WLS" than, let's say Graham Elliott? Mama June's journey doesn't negatively impact my journey and I hope it doesn't negatively impact yours either.
