Bariatric Box of the Month Club: Discreet or Branded Packaging? VOTE NOW
blackrosevamp replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Food and Nutrition
I would prefer it to be discreet. Everyone in my house knows about my surgery, but i dont need the mail lady knowing. I only told my close family and would prefer to keep it that way. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -

Do you have take out/Fast food?
blackrosevamp replied to dreamingsmall's topic in Food and Nutrition
I've had Chinese take out a few times now. I order the tofu with mixed vegetable steamed with the sauce on the side. It works into my plan and makes my boyfriend happy because he loves Chinese food. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -

I guess the best advice would be to stick with the program and prepare for the mental aspect. I still struggle mentally sometimes, not that I give into my cravings, but for example I went to the Asian grocery store. which was one of my favorite places to load up on sweets and pastries. it was mentally depressing looking at all the foods I gave up to get healthier. I would have preferred to avoid this situation.

Protein powder with no concentrate?
blackrosevamp replied to Lmichelle310's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Vega one make a protien and greens powder that is vegan and I like it. It's kinda bland vanilla flavor, but it's better than the fake sweet stuff in my opinion. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -

Pulling pain; stitches or scar tissue?
blackrosevamp replied to JewlzInFL's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm having the same issue currently. I'm almost 2 weeks out from the rny and recovery has been great up until yesturday. Its really bad to move from standing to sitting and bending, I hope it gets better for both of us. I will say heat has helped a little. Maybe someone will have some good input.

I have one, it makes the best crispy tofu. I usually lightly sprinkle some cornstarch on the tofu cubes and they come out great! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -

Vegetarian & Bypass
blackrosevamp replied to Bariatric_girlie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been a vegetarian most of my life. I'm scheduled to have bypass surgery Aug 21st, my nutritionist just said I may have to supplement with protien shakes and Greek yogurt for longer than meat eaters. She thinks it's perfectly healthy to be a vegetarian and have wls. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -

So I finally finished all my pre op and got insurance approval and was about to pick a date for the end of April. Then I ended up in the hospital for blood clots in my arm, and learned I have an abnormal issue where my first rib is cutting off blood flow to my arm. I've had three procedures now to remove the blood clots and have one more surgery scheduled to remove my first rib. I'm happy that my condition can be fixed, but frustrated that my wls has to be put on hold for 3 to 4 months while I'm on blood thinners after I finally finished my pre op and mentally was prepared to have my wls this month. Hopefully I can stay on track and keep lossing on my own. I've lost a decent amount just by seeing the nutrionalist and exercising more. But I feel like I won't be able to keep up with these good habits I've developed because of my inability to work out and the long hospital stays I've had. Highest weight: 293 Current: 260 Goal: ?
