You *can* and I fought my team tooth and nail about it... I still had great results BUT I suspect it's the reason I have larger sleeve capacity today. Know what you are getting into and weight the risks/rewards.

"We don't think you're a good candidate for WLS at this time" ....Should I seek a 2nd opinion?
GreenTealael replied to Dryad's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Important to acknowledge this... But I personally wouldn't tell this to a surgeon if I was trying to get approved -

❤ Have you taken your supplements today? ❤

In the beginning, I was sure that I would go straight to malnutrition hell if I missed even a dose. Turns out, it takes several weeks to months to get yourself in any substantial trouble. My excellent labwork has proven to me that it's not just okay to skip (out of laziness or accidentally) your supplements, but it probably saves you a couple of bucks here and there. Mellow out is my new mantra. Go the best you can with hydration, protein, and your recommended supplements. Trying to live a stress-free life is infinitely more important than your supplements for any given day. (None of this little blabfest was intended for the lovely and ever-knowledgable GT.)

IDK you could just tell them since you are post surgery and backlash will likely be minimal. I, however, am a firm believer in privacy on health matters. At any point you can go from being super sharing to super private. Your choice. You are not under any obligation to remain an open book & co-worker aren't privy to every aspect of life. And if they keep pushing for answers say Vaginal rejuvenation or prolapsed Anus They will leave you all the way alone ...

It may be reflux or head hunger, but some people swear it's regular hunger... Woman in my support group hammered the NUT until she accelerated her stage to soft foods and was finally not starving anymore... Use ever tool you can to defeat it, while staying on plan. Warm liquids, can be more satisfying than cold and adding protein powder or shakes to tea/coffee/cocoa will go a long way... And contact your team, as always, to clarify anything we can't help with ❤

Amazing ❤

Hot liquids, soups teas etc makes it bearable

"We don't think you're a good candidate for WLS at this time" ....Should I seek a 2nd opinion?
GreenTealael replied to Dryad's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, seek another opinion , especially if you are approved by insurance, but also consider mental health services/counseling to manage or to prove that past trauma has no affect on your eating habits. Be brutally honest with yourself here. You will want to put to bed all problems you can recognize before surgery so you can focus for a while in just the mechanics of the new lifestyle. The doctor may have a point or think he's correct in his assessment , but so what. These things can be worked on, you shouldn't be counted out forever. And now you know to proceed cautiously against giving out too much information. Safe Journey 🎈 -

Chicken fried cauliflower rice w/wilted lettuces and carrot ribbons at the request of one of my sisters. I had to make a huge batch and get more ingredients just in case, she loved it so much. I'm surprised. There was plenty of afters but I forgot to take a pic -

Seems I always push the envelope, but......

Try putting the dressing on the side ... Sometimes, most of the time, dressings have more cals than all of the vegetables combined. And often salads are over dressed. Enjoy! -
