Planning, Planning, Planning: How Much Time / Help Will I Need?
GreenTealael replied to Boldilocks's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Girl... Give your unhelpful crew a wake up call now. Randomly let them fend for themselves from now on. Do your own dishes, clean your own space, let them grow up and see what their new life will look like. They are ALL too old for that type of behavior. Minimalism might help. Only 4 of you so really only 4 items of anything needed (plates, bowls, cups, spoons, forks, etc.), Capsule wardobing your children & husband's clothing, putting everything else firmly away. They appear to be abusing the freedoms of variety and your housekeeping skills. 4 weeks is not bad, you will be able to really recover and adjust to post surgical life You'll probably be knitting as soon as you're not in constant pain. But recoveries are super individualized and cannot be anticipated until it's happening so everything is just prediction. Sorry. Safe Journey! -

I would wait a few months until you enter a good grove with food, have superb initial habits, no dependance on protein supplements, can hydrated properly and most of all speak with your team about it. -

No Pain Medications
GreenTealael replied to Orchids&Dragons's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
They probably never thought to ask about which meds they would get post surgery because the standard is usually what ever makes the patient comfortable Terrible terrible terrible Morphine and the likes do not work for me so I had to really advocate for the meds to be adjusted until I was no longer in constant pain, 1 whole day. -
You will get hungry
GreenTealael replied to FancyChristine15's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Some people even wake up from surgery and claim they are hungry! I wish they wouldn't use the elimination of hunger as a selling point for these surgeries. It's setting people up big time... -
Struggling with post op diet and calorie restriction.
GreenTealael replied to BelleOfBatonRouge's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hydrate until set meal times arrive. Only eat at set meal times. If is not that time, it's water/tea/ coffee/popsicle time. Hunger is normal. You can feel it an still survive. Stay focused, you can do this! Safe Journey -

Feeling hungry 5 months post op
GreenTealael replied to Suzanna Kobiela's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Not everyone loses the hunger sensation or it returns sooner than expected. Drink tons of fluids. Water, tea even coffee will keep you occupied until your set meal times occurs. Only eat at set meal times no matter what. Drink every other hunger away. When cleared for it, clean dressing free salads will keep you full with very little calories. Reach out to your team and let them know what's going on and receive the direct support you need. Safe Journey -
