Ask your Team, they were in my plan from stage 3 or pureed/semisolids (1 month), but I didn't try them until about 3 months, didn't like them, then again now at 8 months in smoothiesVSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Amazing, I never even heard that about b vitamins... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -
My surgeon attends and gives lectures, trains surgeons under him , does other types of surgeries, etc. I see his Bariatric PA & NUT. I was completely aware of the process. I like it because he can focus on skill building. But ... as soon as he heard I was going to Italy and France a few months ago he magically appeared to talk lol VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Pre-op diet question. Please help!
GreenTealael replied to Kella112's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm curious, what kind of food, can you show us? But in the end you have to learn to consult your team for changes not this site, or you'll be here after surgery looking for alternatives to your plan, meds, etc. Instead of going where you should... If you are going to trust your team with your life, trust them. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -

There's a TON of people on the site who are revisions from band to sleeve or RNY. Give it a quick search. I believe Even the site's creator is making the switch. They all appear to be MUCH HAPPIER. safe journey VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Congrats on your success so far... Contact your team that handled your surgery if possible and form a plan. Return to nutritional visit if you can, support group if available, then pull out your binder /original plan and see where you are. While at a support group a few weeks ago the topic was regain and how to manage it, these were some of the questions the NUT told everyone to pay attention to if fighting regain: How far have you drifted? What was the original weight goal (realistically)? Did you change anything to cause the weight gain? Any life changes (health, job, relationships,etc)? Can you go back to basics (protein and vegetables only to test for weight loss ) or reset for a week? What is your protein intake? What is your vegetables /fruit intake? What is your carb intake? Do you have hidden calories (too much sugars, carbs, condiments, slider foods) ? Are you drinking your calories ( juice, soda alcohol) ? What is your Water/zero cal fluid intake ? Safe journey again!

Try Frozen salmon saw some at the dollar tree in the freezer section also canned salmon (walmart) is less expensive than fresh (and shelf stable) if you are working on a fixed budget makes great salmon burgers with (egg as a binder) or salmon pate (salad)/like tuna salad Working out may need to be youtubed as I ts readily available and free. It can happen anytime you are ready. 5 minutes at a time, during commercial breaks, etc. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Weight Gain or Nah?

GreenTealael replied to Sweedfire86's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Can just be hormones ,or it can be she reminds you of the old you and you now have the urge to clean house so to speak. Sometimes we settle for who we think we deserve, then we want to move on when we think we can finally be allowed to deserve more. Really think about it before you do anything , don't rush. Think about the entire relationship then really talk to her. She deserves honesty if nothing more. Safe journey -

I'm in NY (but not NYC) my surgeon is fabulous, you'll only meet him once ,twice tops and then he'll skillfully perform what he was trained to do *hint* its not make judgments on your life choices VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

How do I eat healthy when my family doesn't?
GreenTealael replied to luckyducky's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My family ( those under my Iron rule- children ) eat like me, other family members who are adults (and don't live with me anyways) cannot be controlled, nor do I want to, I have to learn to live within this world which also means eating out with friends, co workers, at parties, pot lucks, buffets, movie theaters, gas stations, Starbucks, etc. You cannot control the entire world, you can have some affect on the lifestyle that your family leads especially if you do the shopping and are partial leadership of the organization, otherwise you can only control you so best to focus squarely on that.
