Yeah I didn't know how people would react to WLS and for my purposes. So I said screw it , nobody gets a golden ticket...

Anytime!

Did you ever figure out where they fit into your plan? If they (all fruit/dried fruit/high levels of natural sugars) are for maintenance phase or during your loss phase?

As soon as I needed to go out for real I put a real bra back on, I tripled my gauze padding on the incisions close to the bra. I did this for a while until I felt like I could go down a bra size.

O.M.G I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND when I got my Masters a few years ago I thought it was a big deal, and it was to me. It was to my Mother and kinda to family and less close friends, but I don't think they really understood. None of them have advanced degrees or travailed that path. But I haven't really told anyone about WLS, just a proxy. BUT WTF ALL people can talk about is the physical weight change. The only thing I can think of is because its visible and relatable. So that may be proud of you in a way they finally can understand and relate to you. But gather anyone who is out of line immediately, I'm always here for the clap back !!!

Sounds like dumping! Beef always messes with me...but I ate curry chicken once did it to me, and other dairy items (cooked and refined with lots of sugar of course)

You Can Do It! Stretch, use a heating pad, binge watch Lost in Space & The Walking Dead on Netflix. Drink some water (if allowed), dance a little to Sia's Chandelier, wear cozy clothes, repeat. CONGRATS!!!

If it turns out they will not work for your plan,you can give then away as gifts instead of eating them just because...

Sweating because I may or may not try one soon and join the cult of Werthers...

Keep a close eye on it, sometimes when I'm wearing tighter clothing, sitting and eating/drinking, I have to open my bra (at home of course) or clothes. Idk why but it helps, I also get a slight pain for no reason sometimes but nothing that sends me to the ER

Sitting or standing, Hot or cold, bottled or tap,fast or slow, straw or no, sips or gulps. Not trying to diagnosis (not a MD) try to not a pattern if any and report those to the MD to help them help you. Hope you feel better.

What were you drinking?

All of my "snack" foods have to be labelled as protein xyz so I don't feel bad incorporating them protein chips, cookies, nuts, whatever... its a clever marketing ploy to keep me from goal...

Gallbladder?

I did, a few times... Not always but when it happens... Magical

So I cheated a bought 8 gallons of organic ,vegan, free range, kosher, nut free, gluten free, dairy free spring water... Sigh

Hey i think you have my sleeve, I have your bypass... (So called side effects)

😓

Popped that cherry lol Straw life! You'll need be able to Go back now...

The simplest answer is to ask the professionals who created your new digestive system and eating plan.

Butter is better than margarine in that it does not possess partial hydrogenated oils. Some natural styled oil spreads now gave cold presses or expeller pressed oils. After WLS, depending how far out you are, your choice of fat will vary. Consult your team, stick to your plan and always use the least possible, unless its free truffle butter... Then use it all lol

I do not have food addiction issues, so that battle I did not have to fight. I think society pushes us to believe in a one answer approach to solve ALL of our problems immediately and finally (if this blank happens ... then I will finally be happy/perfect - constantly leveling up) instead of a holistic approach (multiple goals adding to a full life- adding to a simmering pot) . So I decide to embark on a holistic approach which involved mental health care (along with other goals/things) as a part of overall my selfcare plan (whether I believed I needed it or not). I figured they ask you to see a psychologist for a reason, so I continued to explore that option. I hope if its available to you, you may explore it as well.

Dates are a dried fruits, if you can have dried fruits at this point on your plan, like raisins, prunes etc, try but consult your NUT or team first. Even just an email. Its important to be certain to have a good working knowledge of what you can and can't generally have at every stage laid out ahead of time. This you should demand from them if they are not providing it. This site is great for socialization but medical advice (nutrition after wls is medical advice don't let anyone tell you otherwise) should come from a physician.

Ask your surgeon.
