Perspectives on Losing Fast & Slow
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I definitely think that there's a pressure to be a poster child of positive attitude. Always have positive affirmations and outlooks, reminding each other of all of the great things that will come from the change but sometimes it's a little tiring and real life has changing tides... So I was looking for people who maybe understood how I felt and I could lean on their collective knowledge (not compare) until I could see my forest past the trees -
Same! After surgery I found myself compromising too much because of the plan so I talked with my NUT and cut it all out again except the protein shakes, everything else is super clean again! So happy even working my way back to vegeterian/vegan! Safe journey!

Deficiency in iron and b vitamins especially b1 or b12, get labs done to confirm as some can cause great damage.

I'm glad everyone has been willing to be honest about how they feel, sometimes I struggle with the pressure to always be positive -
I spoke with my Dermatologist about my scars and was informed that the silicone scar patches work well and time will make a big difference

Perspectives on Losing Fast & Slow
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I chose this surgery as an alternative (off brand use) to another and it was agreed upon by all of my teams that if it didn't produce desired effect within a certain amount of time (no matter how much weight I lost) I have to move forward with another method of treatment I don't really want. So I'm running out of time, 5% just would not work for my case. But I started this thread for a little look on the bright side or the struggle is real either way perspective because I really only get to see my journey -

There are a lot of different people here doing this for a lot of different reasons , some are more time sensitive. My expectations were not unrealistic, my frustration comes from needing to reach a certain point by a deadline agreed on by my practitioner -
My local Sams club stopped carrying them?!?! They never had the Cookies and Cream variety... Anyone still able to find these flavors? HW 270 SW 238 CW 188 VSG 11/7 [emoji471][emoji471][emoji471]

First time i ever thought about this but I take various forms of vitamins (and meds) throughout the day. Some are gummies. I tend to drink after as im taking other forms of vitamins also. Is this considered eating and drinking?

Chronic Nausea--No Medical Reason
GreenTealael replied to Arizona25's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So sorry this is happening , have you tried motion sickness bracelets like the ones used on boats etc ? How about only eating and drinking cool/room temp/warm things? How about keeping a heating pack on your abdomen? Are you often cold? It may just be your body in a state of unhappy adjustment but not illness. You may need to look at out of the box solutions. Safe journey -

Snacking at the Movies
GreenTealael replied to IveGotThePower's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Im almost certain that they are adding some addictive agent to theater popcorn because of the way i react when i smell it. Have not touched it in almost a 10 months now. I dont crave any foods when smelled like this. Its insane. Anyone know of any good conspiracy theories on the subject? Its not like coffee and chocolate which are addictive, its corn...
