Pre Op Diet Nightmare
GreenTealael replied to GeorgieDean's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do make my own but it's not cold brew. I use an old school espresso maker that brews on the stove top in about 2 minutes and chill it when I want it cold. Otherwise I drink it hot. And you're right I've been everywhere looking for decaf cold brew! Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app -
Pre Op Diet Nightmare
GreenTealael replied to GeorgieDean's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also quit coffee 6 months prior to surgery, for myself, so I understand your pain. In about a week I was tip top. Post op I drink decaf with premier caramel shake as the creamer, it's the ONLY way I tolerate shakes now. I am curious why you are putting your self on a preop diet if approval has not been given yet? The nutritionist will guide you through that phase.This new diet/lifestyle is something you have to be comfortable doing for life, so the changes must be authentic which usually takes time to wrap your head around otherwise you may fail yourself. And we're all polling for you here to win. Perhaps you should try focusing on protein first, which will be your new lifestyle, and begin logging in an app to track calories like myfitnesspal Let us know how it goes Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app -

Can we talk about boobs and bras?
GreenTealael replied to Real California April's topic in The Gals' Room
yes you're right I'll try to be more patient , I didn't gain it all in three months can't expect to lose it at that rate. I just HATE how expensive bras can be. I get them from Lane Bryant and they don't always stand up to washing and drying despite how much care I take to protect them (and I refuse to wear dirty undergarments ). I'm seriously going to look into the bra brands mentioned in this thread Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app -

I think I had a few unreasonable expectations, I thought I would instantly have boundless energy and my silhouette would reshape itself. I'm just the same mellow yet slightly smaller version of myself, but I'm not complaining. I guess I'm wondering if everyone goes in and comes out the same person (aside from the new diet ) Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app
