When did you really start to feel restriction?
GreenTealael replied to EsoKev's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Fluids go right through you. In your stomach for 15 minutes max ( l think that's what i was told) but that being said I do remember being told that you can retrain your stomach to empty too fast, ask your team about the validity of this Just a small amount of solid proteins give me a lot of restriction even now , 8 month post op every time I swear I have no restriction, boom salmon fillet wins, 3oz and I'm done. If I'm questioning my restriction, too many sliders in my diet, time to tighten up. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -

But that's why I think we need a compilation of stories not necessarily interactive threads for VETS. Their (and your)experience is already settled by time and not up for debate, I just want some information I can search through (easily) and gain what I gain. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

It means I decided to move forward with the conversation about regain. The subsequent questions and responses were about that. We are going to try and move on. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

You should strut in with the most expensive looking water possible, make other people wonder what it is and question their hydration patterns for a change lol VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -
That is something to consider... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Hope my nutritionist doesn’t hate me

Don't make things up, be honest especially with yourself VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -

When you do this they can't help identifying down the road how to adjust your diet for loss, maintenance etc, because you've been "perfect" all along... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -
Sabotage at the Half Way Point
GreenTealael replied to domi's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The plot may thicken, but you don't have to Be hyper vigilant about/around the saboteurs which may include bringing your own food and drinks or just leaving early. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -

First step in the process
GreenTealael replied to nrbradley0's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I after my consult I called EVERY doctor and scheduled EVERY visit, same day ( I was ridiculous) that way I just had to go when the time came. No more worries. There were two doctors that were contacted by my team so I never had to worry about those, I just showed up when they told me to. Safe Journey ! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -

Some of us want it, and I'm not talking one on one time, that's preposterous. But if there was a place where just info could be left, like a vets hand book , where vets write about their experiences, it would be helpful. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Put these in order of importance on how they effect weight loss
GreenTealael replied to Creekimp13's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Will to succeed Skill of Surgeon Mental health Diet Exercise Emotional stability Supportive home environment Luck I think external influences are missing, like doing it for someone else, for revenge, this or death, etc. Those can be strong motivating forces (positive or negative) VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -
Did your marriage or relationship die after you lost the weight?
GreenTealael replied to George OG's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Sorry, this is happening. No one on either side of the equation deserves to be treated poorly. Abuse can come in many forms, emotional, physical and financial. It can even happen to men. It *sounds* a lot like what you may be going through. But no one will be more qualified to help than a marriage , mental (and financial counselor) give these resources a try, give it your best efforts, so that whatever plan you come up with will be a success, just like your weight loss journey. Peace and Blessings VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -
Maybe just for rants and raves a safe guard message could be placed as you hit submit, to confirm that you understand the policies and violations will result in xyz ... A reminder to give the person a chance to rephrase things before it goes too farVSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I really wish there were more VETS around to give us the real scoop on regain. I really want hear from people who have experience in the matter, I started a thread for it months ago, not one person responded that I could tell. I think they are all gone... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167
