I'm an absolute snack [emoji8] -
I did not have one with surgery However My near death experience (car accident) left me with more questions than answers and a fear of leaving loved ones behind to sort my affairs So prior to surgery I did it all myself No clue if there is a right or wrong way to go through it but I hear therapy helps

I think the balance occurs when it's not all about one person He may need to come to grips with you needing to eat also and excusing himself from the room sometimes The burden CANNOT be all yours Amazing of you to be the super support system but don't forget about yourself

Tempted to consume less protein shakes.

It may be that specific protein shake that is not agreeing with you , try a few other options... -
Having surgery next week...
GreenTealael replied to gilbermon's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I have the sleeve and I can still experience dumping [emoji22] It's never a hard and fast rule with this but which ever tool you get, you'll be happy you have it. I also did not need the liver shrinking pre op diet (I put myself on one anyway) Just the clear liquids 48 hours prior to surgery and nothing 12 hrs prior to surgery -
Weight loss plateau
GreenTealael replied to bdroubay's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Liquid diet 2-3 days prior to seeing the surgeon (only protein shakes , coffee tea water ) like the one they will put you on just prior to surgery -
Massive amounts in a very short period of time and it's not an easy thing to do I read about this when I began to worry I was drinking too much water

Perhaps the famous reset people try Although it's so soon not sure it will make a difference that wouldn't have happened already. But I too wonder how the sweet tooth will be cured by this... OP what is your meals like during the course of a day?

Curious that you did not need a sleep study for sleeve surgery... It's just a precaution to make sure you can breathe while under general anesthesia if you have sleep apnea

I don't wash my hair daily either but that may be because my hair type does not require it. But we are messy bun twins [emoji7]

Let's Play Another Round of "How Much Am I Eating Now?"
GreenTealael replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Oh it was a week ago, I survive but my heart rate increased dramatically and I started cold sweats. No good at all. So bad I didn't even take pics inside the restaurant or even the food ( I only had the tea service) But here is me prior to the panna cotta incident I had no clue -
YAY!!!!!!

5 months post sleeve B: coffee with premier caramel shake then Greek yogurt Coffee Tea Water L: random lately (turkey, chicken, fish or lamb with veggies) or beans Coffee Tea Water S: Peanuts, Chocolate chips and raisins Coffee Tea Water D: random lately ( mostly beans , yogurt or re run from lunch ) Protein goals 60 g daily Though not focusing on it the past 3 weeks trying to head back towards vegan lifestyle Funny story I was on vacation and I tried authentic panna cotta (spelling ?) and had my first true dumping syndrome experience (without the release) So I'm hold up in this gorgeous Parisian bathroom looking at the frescos on the ceilings while sitting in the floor I thought I was dying but I appreciated the view Lesson learned I will never forget my new limits -
Pads for unexpected periods Wipes in case you feel dirty/gritty Pony tail holder to keep hair out of the way

Thank you !!! Im struggling too but because it's a low manipulation hair style it appears better than it is I don't do much with it , just up in a bun but I'm sure if I was combing and brushing it would present worse I hope it slows down or stops for all of us

Sweets are a problem for a lot of people , for sure you are not alone
