VEGAN after WLS
GreenTealael replied to AshMarie794's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Working towards it, but as you may imagine it takes lots of time and planning especially to become a lowish carb whole food vegan So I'm a flexible vegetarian -
Why is alcohol that bad for you after surgery?
GreenTealael replied to t1018ross's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Drinking calories with no nutritional value and replacement of addictions but if none of these things affect you negatively ( i.e. You factor the cals into your plan and track everything meticulously, you have no substance abuse concerns -be very honest with yourself here- you should be fine to enjoy occasionally and responsibly under the directions of your medical team) -
Scheduled for sleeve July 10th may back out
GreenTealael replied to Letsgetgoing2018's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Don't back out, you'll just delay what you really want because if you've gotten this far you want it pretty badly.I knew I wanted it badly after I drank barium... -
I was wondering how everyone approaches their partying/vacations? I was told I could have a sampling of anything I wanted while on vacation, just follow the import rules ( Protein first, 64 oz hydration, 30-30-30, no grazing, etc) and when I get back I resume my plan strictly. What rules were you given about partying / vacationing ? Does your program even address this subject ? Do you feel like it's helpful or sabotaging either way?

I fluctuated between rigid and relaxed , I'll stay away from rice bread and pasta like its possessed but I'll have pastry. I will always eat protein and vegetable sources first but if it's really hot out and I'm walking a lot I don't mind drinking after eating if it's only been 25 mins...

Appetite back with a vengance!
GreenTealael replied to BajanSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
ALL LIQUIDS count towards your fluid goal of 64 oz Please keep hydrating , we hear you , you're hungry but you are also thirsty too and may just not realize it , find something you like that is no or low calorie and sugar free and drink drink drink please. You should generally spend most of your day hydrating and not eating especially that soon after surgery. -

Appetite back with a vengance!
GreenTealael replied to BajanSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My appetite is back to normal near my menstrual cycle but what I tend to do is load on leafy greens (kale salad) and hydrate the hell out of my days so when I go over my calories I KNOW I did everything else first and it was true hunger and not the head hunger everyone speaks of... -
What are your sliders? Mine are yogurt, nuts and protein bars. Eventually I will feel restriction but I've consumed so many calories by that point it's like sabotage (never tried this, decided to be cautious when I saw the calorie count and my tolerance )

I liked ramen prior to surgery but post I refuse to eat pasta (outside of Italy and Asia) so I make an all veggie version with eggs of course

So question everyone, are we staying away from sliders or just limiting them?

Concerns about calorie intake
GreenTealael replied to OneYearLater's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm not gonna lie I skim read (or as Gladwell calls it microsectioning) and all I saw was the word cookie and I knew something wasn't right so I read the entire thing lol, congrats on finding what works for you -
Coming up with a blank
GreenTealael replied to Jenyp8409's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think the confused emoticon either is condescending or means someone needs help/explanation and it's really hard to distinguish between the two without a comment attached. But I am also beginning to get confused emoticons on things that are clearly stated... -

This is what I ate today...
GreenTealael replied to BuzzVSG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Protein bars are all fun and games until youre choosing to eat them over and over again instead of real for either for convenience or flavor. They are usually the same calorie range of a real meal as well. If you can eat real food, choose it. Use protein bars sparingly if you can help it. -
