Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
GreenTealael replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Yes when i started to research i wanted to erase hunger that crept in. It works. Plus fat slurping / muscle sparing lol. It works for that too. But ultimately i do just want to live forever 😂 -

How Do You See Yourself in Your Dreams
GreenTealael replied to SteveT74's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Early on I would have NIGHTMARES that I was doing something contrary to my plan like eating and drinking at the same time, alcohol, etc. I stop giving these (subconscious) fears real estate in my life by being moreproactive and vigilant. I don't dream like that anymore. I started thinking about my life on a whole beyond my weight. I was entirely too fixated on one aspect in life. There are sooooo many more. I put this diet/lifestyle on automation so i can focus on other things. -

Watching Pioneer Woman cooking show and no longer wondering why we are all obese... 😞

That excuse doesn't work for me. No pioneers in my family tree. They were still all peasants in Ireland when all the pioneering cr@p was going on!

I love to cook (part of my problem) and I'm thinking the time has come to break up with the recipe sites and FB pages that I follow. I wish I could send the Food network packing, but its part of a larger bundle in our cable. Time to find other things to focus on.

Its normal to have erratic bathroom habits after surgery, but it doesn't have to stay that way forever. Find what works to help: More/less fiber, varying types of fiber, laxatives (as directed by your Team), avoid/embrace certain foods, probiotics, more fluids, different protein sources, etc. Don't stay impacted/loose if you dont have to! -
10 months, is it over or a stall?
GreenTealael replied to baribetty's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Any tips or experience for plateaus? I think I remember your before/after pics from right around the time of my surgery and you were quite the inspo! Oh i forgot to add, research/ask your team about intermittent fasting -
Jp port had 1 real stitch, the rest strips or glue... Can't remember its been so long. My skin will keloid in small amounts but scar for years and years... I knew this going in. I still can see a scar on my hand from when the iron touched it accidentally while i was prepping school uniforms. I was 12. I'm 35 now. Some people will never scar like that. But its important to know to your body so you aren't super surprised.

Lost weight after plateau more than six months out?
GreenTealael replied to imct's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yep. Have to work really ******* hard/smart to do it. But very very very possible! First try cleaning up your diet to perfection, protein then vegetable very minimal carbs, hit fiber goals (regular bowel movement), drinking only cal free things but mostly plain water, then Look into intermittent fasting. Good luck 💜 -
Hi! Im super curious is it your bariatric surgeon that wants you to be resleeved or primary doctor? I ask because most dont offer this as an option unless you go self pay. & medical tourism then they will do whatever But thats just in the States... Have you ever considered asking about a conversion to RNY, DS or SIPS along with the resleeve? I dont know what caused your regain but it can be easy to eat around a sleeve's effecfiveness plus the risk of developing GERD may increase leading to the need for a conversion to a bypass anyway... Good luck whatever you choose 💚

I have 5 or 6 incision sites. 2 are still really obvious because my skin scars easily & terribly. Look to past scarring and healing to predict how your skin will react. There are also silicone scar therapy sheets that my dermatologist recommends to help fade scars quickly. Amazon and Walmart carry them. Good luck 💜
