The Thrill Is Gone
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
LLysine is an essential amino acid, the recommended amount on the bottle I buy is 1000mg per day ask your team about interactions but I believe there are not any. I read research that said the typical diet is lacking in this AA anyway and I also researched Telogen Effluvium and WLS/ hair loss/ hair regrowth and the medical journals I came across had studies that saw promising results when it was included. Google it, actually I placed the links in another thread, hair loss by silly kitty, there are links to several different studies with different vitamin regimens. No major loss for me. -

Yes!!! I love leftovers!! I need to embrace the leftover lol I just threw away a perfectly good barely meal touched from a week ago -
Hi there! I highly recommend nuts! They will raises your calories so quickly and you only need a few. Its crazy. Try cashews. And bananas if you can have fruits blend banana into your current protein shake. Instant boost to calories and carbs. Do you see a nutritionist at all?

She contends that anyone who stays “too long” has no life and should move on and stop considering themselves a Bariatric patient 🤷🏼♀️ I'm still kinda torn myself if I will continue to consider myself a patient after a certain amount of time vs a person who had surgery

Overheard Staff Joking About My Body
GreenTealael replied to virginiaRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sure they are the type of people that have been doing this all their lives... Bad behaviors don't start at 32 Oh and I forgot they violated a clause in the Hippocratic oath "Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets." -

There are so many fields that have now enacted similar privacy and privileged acts to stop this type of nonsense, mandatory retraining now... -
You can put the scale away for a bit and live your life like an exact number doesn't define your worth Most people don't know their exact FICO scores, IQs, insulin levels, Natural Gas meter readings , heart rate, poison control phone number or national deficit and they can remain happy from day to day...
