Hi there I'm new to WLS so I still attend support groups and here's what they say to consider about regain: How much have you regained? Have you changed your habits? (Eating, exercise, sleep, work, etc.) Any new medical issues or life changes? Have you seen your Primary or Surgeon recently? I've also heard some chatter that something happen around year 3-4 that are unavoidable that prompt weight gain (idk the validity I'm 6 months out) But take a strong honest look at yourself then seek MEDICAL ADVICE from your Medical team first And you totally got this ... Again

This is the same as someone wishing you Merry Christmas assuming you are Christian, people use their own reference points to relate to others to show sympathy , empathy, joy , and all other emotions. It can get repetitively annoying but it is a chance to educate someone on how to respond to a diverse population

Try logging food in an app like myfitnesspal of baritastic because it helps keeps you honest
-
Some people have smooth sailing all the way through BUT some have complication after complication. That is a possible outcome you must consider (squared) and then factor in twin infants... You will require some level of help but no telling until after surgery . After surgery you need to spend alot of time focusing on your recovery. Your children are still very young and will require A LOT of help with everything. Staggering will give the help needed and a realistic view of life after. Safe journey!
-
Stagger even if only by a few weeks / months to make sure everyone and everything is okay. Too many variables to consider. Safe journey!

Bye Bye Sugar...
GreenTealael replied to Love2Travel816's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It will help if you start switching sugar out for subs like splenda or stevia (what i did) it will take time and effort but will work with dedication. As for chocolate... Start switching milk chocolate out with its higher quality ancient originator cacao (not to be confused with cocoa) well worth the coin and your body will thank you ! -

How do you, personally, define a carb?
GreenTealael replied to Little Green's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Can you please give us a sample of your diet while you were still losing? -
Did your NUT give you a sample meal plan?
-
OK so i had the EXACT same problem as you ... Not technically eating anything wrong but... MY NUT said that most of these are slider foods which means it leaves you hungrier quicker. I was told to begin to add dense source of proteins and vegetables to every meal. Thats it. The supplements and bars was to be used if i absolutely could not get food on the go

Can you give a sample daily menu?

How do you, personally, define a carb?
GreenTealael replied to Little Green's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Im a newbie so i read and log everything. So a carb is a carb, fat is a fat, etc. I dont eat many processed or packaged foods so i have to rely heavily on MFP for accountabililty. I mostly stay away from breads rice pasta etc because i had my fill pre surg and a little after. My carbs also tend to come from fruits legumes and vegetables. I am not in maintainance so im going easy... -
I drink A LOT of tea (lol thats why i chose my user name) but nothing specific to the needs Of WLS community. IDK what is hunt water?
