Tobacco testing?
dreamingsmall replied to GayGirlLivingForHer's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
If you plan to continue smoking cigarettes after surgery .. it's something to talk through with your surgical team. I quit before surgery because I was worried about ulcers and the risks associated with causing slower recovery. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk -
What rules did your surgeon give you?
dreamingsmall replied to janellody's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
No carbs what so ever ? Or do you mean no refined carbs. I'm assuming your allowed vegetable. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk -
My husband is dead set against me having wls. Any advice on how to overcome that?
dreamingsmall replied to dreamangel1974's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yes. I personally haven't encountered such an extreme reaction. But understand people being worried or not agreeing. But I'm sure there are all kinds of people out in the world. I hope your advice will help the op as I hope it doesn't stop her doing it Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk -
Resleeved vs rny conversion???

I don't understand why you won't reach 160 with sleeve. Maybe he thinks you need the extra tool of malabsorption . I was 244 surgery day 6 month to get into 160s ... Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk -

He should have the ut most respect for you. Saying he won't even discuss it. How disrespectful can someone be. You know that's not normal right ? After the surgery when you lose all the weight your eyes become clearer and suddenly you realise your worth. Perhaps he doesn't want that to happen. As you won't tolerate that kind of disrespect when you value your self more . Goodluck. I doubt he will come onboard with the prospect of his wife looking better than him as it sounds like that might be it. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk -

And what happens if after all that. He still isn't onboard? What then? I honestly haven't seen someone being this extreme . Sure you may not like your partners choice but you still have to respect them as a human being and allow them to do what's best for them. You can't just withhold your support Everytime you don't agree. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk -
Anyone in the 9-12 week range?
dreamingsmall replied to BostonWLKC's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

I buy off Amazon Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk -
When you swap to protein dense not liquid you may not even dream of 6 oz for a long time. Depending on alot of variables . Taller people,men etc may have more space. I'm 7 m out and still on small portions. 4/5oz less for some food. 2 ounces for some. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

Tips for social eating?
dreamingsmall replied to kaydo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Why would I tell strangers? I'm not hiding it. But I don't go round telling strangers about my life. Im not too hungry is enough. Now I am fine with a starter. Or a salad for main. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk -

Guilty Pleasures - Your last meal
dreamingsmall replied to Marissa37's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No I didn't. Before liquid diet. I had a crustless chicken and mayo sandwich. Now 7 months post. I'm glad I didnt have a food funeral because I'm in Control. I can eat what I want but don't want what I shouldn't. But if I do I'll have it. I had the skin of a KFC drumstick not long ago. Lol sounds funny when I think about it.

Stomach streatched please help me
dreamingsmall replied to Cindy757's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wonder didn't other people not get pain. Im 7 m post and the pain from a whole sandwich would be unbearable. I wouldn't even try it. I agree eating too fast it must be. As that's like an extra trick for me is eating extra slow and the first hint of fullness I stop and don't go back to it. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk -
I think I hit a stall
dreamingsmall replied to Jahmell's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in the UK. I didn't know there is a hospital here that doesn't give you a plan. There are so many variables though. UK plans seem super different to abroad Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk -
One week after surgery same weight?disappointed
dreamingsmall replied to Monali's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it takes more than one week to start losing... Really. You probably lost weight but still swollen too. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk -
Good luck. Let us all know if you get a response with a solution. For now I'll keep on with my shape wear and tuck bits away Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

There is no confusion. Yes drink it if your plan allows it. no if your plan doesn't. It's that simple. Everyone's plan isn't the same. I was allowed it day after surgery Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk
