Bluntly say you NEED a referral, dont take no for an answer...

Amazing

Sorry ... Hugs

I don't have a problem cooking foods I can't eat , the question was if it was in fact a food I could not eat. I did eat some, not a slippery slope because I doubt I will invest the energy and resources to make it again when I could just eat boiled eggs or beans lol

My surgeon did such a fantastic job i joke and say its almost like i never had surgery. UNTIL I forget and try something too decadent and dump. And i have the sleeve...

This may be controversial but you can drink more with a straw... Stay hydrated!

I just attended a support group and a someone asked how to prevent and reverse regain and here were some things mentioned: Start planning and timing your meals again Dont eat and drink within 30 mins of each other Hydrate for the majority of your day (calorie and sugar free) you cant over eat if youre drinking No random snacking, this is grazing and leads to weight gain Weight yourself weekly, youll always know whats really going on Attend support groups Mental health is as important as physical, dont neglect it Any major changes call your Doctor immediately

I agree, it feels like a conspiracy and dont even get me started on the undergarment industry...

Welcome to the team!

Agree with the other posters, can you make your own meals? Also what kind of meals are you eating? Not all calories are equal in quality. What about water/liquid intake? Are you over 64oz of liquids a day ? How are your bowel movements? Have you reached out to your surgical team ?

What is the lowest a non lifting 170 lb wls female can consume if she was just tired of protein mania and wanted to veg out for a while... Be gentle

Congrats!

Welcome back

Also no one mentions food output but your bowel movements have to be VERY regular. You can store pounds and pounds of waste if you are not excreting it properly.

I was not allowed any bread like products for MONTHS, ask your team, get the real answer...

I use straws every day and discussed it with my team...

Usually tea or coffee with protein shake then cottage cheese or yogurt with fruit for breakfast Lunch is salad with protein like chicken or fish

How do you all feel about plant protein since we are on the subject? Not trying to start a fight but I would like to rotate veganism in my lifestyle , I realize I would have to use shakes sometimes and I could live with that but I just FEEL better plant based so I'm looking for realistic ways to get it done and if that means flex fueling that's what I will do...

I have often wondered the same

I forget sometimes also

Medically necessary

I have waist length locs LLysine , good iron levels, keep vitamins and protein levels good, semi freeform 7months post op minimal loss

I was so afraid while on prednisone that i basically only drank

I understand completely

We will support you
