Horrible constipation with the preop liquid diet making me gain :(
GreenTealael replied to Nycgal92's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Careful, check in with your physician on how often a stimulant laxative can be used. I can cause issues also if taken in excess -
🌈 Congrats 🌈

Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
GreenTealael replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
IF Strikes again back down to 156 after a few days of 16:8, 18:6. Happy to see it will be my maintenance tool. Also, psyllium husk in a keto friendly bread I made sat like a log in my sleeve but cleans the plumbing -
Paranoid I've already Stretched My Stoma - 3 Weeks Out
GreenTealael replied to Vagrant Violet's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
A reset at 3 weeks post op? You are being a little paranoid. Try slowing down by drinking according to a timer and amount (e.g. 4oz every 30 mins) And try to go with the indicators your body gives you. Stop before that too full/overfilled feeling. Safe Journey! -
🎉🎈Congrats & Safe Journey🎈🎉

Both mirrors and camera lenses can distort an image in different ways. You also may look different in different mirrors or photos taken by different cameras. And what the eye sees may vary wildly from person to person as well. I would suggest picking a mirror or camera that gives you the image you like to the most (my mirror is from Walmart and it makes me look taller) and use it to record your progress. Congrats on your success!

Looking for low GI healthy carbs that aren't sliders?
GreenTealael replied to Mhy12784's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Visit a local GNC, vitamin shop, etc to get a recommendation for a (gains or builders) protein. They will likely recommend something higher in quality than Premier and if it's causing intense hunger oatmeal may just be out for you. If you want to continue with it, try eating yogurt or cottage cheese along side the oatmeal instead of Premier. If that doesn't work you may have to learn to drink away hunger. Or adding low GI vegetables in a salad that is filling for very little cals. -

GreenTealael replied to Mhy12784's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Try adding dried or fresh fruit, chia seeds , fats and fiber (psyllium husk) to the oatmeal. 600 cals is like 1.5 dry cups? -

Worried About Hair Loss?
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
IKR!?!?! I'm always telling people to Google it and do their own research, but I began to wonder how many actually found the studies I was referencing. Eliminating the extra steps. -

Nov 2018 Hydration Challenge
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey Y'all! How's everyone doing, feeling? November isn't over yet! After all the indulgence, aren't you a little thirsty? Tell us what Thanksgiving was like... I ate a lot but surprisingly this weekend I hydrated a lot too. -
Took the plunge. Gifted my self a scale for the maintenance phase of my journey. I'm no longer actively losing, so it's time for accountability.
I feel pretty confident these days that the retrograde motion of Mars, global warming trends and US politics will not directly effect my weight 😂😂😂
-
It felt like it !@Orchids&Dragons
I may lose a little more these days due to post break up sadness @Matt Z
Is that a silver lining? Lol

Quoteretrograde motion of Mars, global warming trends and US politics will not directly effect my weigh
This cracked me up. US politics might make me lose weight if anything since it has the ability to make me a bit queasy...

Significant weight goal reached
GreenTealael replied to CyclicalLoser's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
🎉 CONGRATS 🎉 (Attaboy, humble or not, show off. I think when people dismiss their own accomplishments it leaves room for others to do the same - "You don't care, why should I?" - And this is note worthy so indulge in it!) -

Amazing! Looks like Older vs younger brothers -
LLysine is an amino acid and it was used in alopecia (male pattern baldness) clinical studies but also showed promising results in regards to Telogen Effluvium. Google the research and decided if its right for you. I took the standard dosage recommended on the jar. Safe Journey!

We are both fine, I could use a lot less excitement from now on 😢😒
-
Yes we are both fine, im just traumatized (again... as this is my second major car wreck on Thanksgiving exactly 10 yrs apart. I know I should not focus on this type of thing but it's bothering me a bit) But otherwise unscathed
