Super fast approval! Now all the questions
Apple203 replied to star2017's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, Star. Have you attended any pre-op classes, or were you spared? I'm sure your surgeon will have specific 2-week pre-op and post-op instructions. Everyone has different requirements. -
Am so tired of people who ask every ten minutes why they're not losing weight
Apple203 replied to Creekimp13's topic in Rants & Raves
Haha, well done, Claire! I'm still debating where I fall in the continuum, because I don't see a bucket for posters who drink and post weird stuff occasionally. That was a sloppy omission, Creek!! -

LG, I got my date in December -- even all of my followup appts were booked then! It was maddening that it was so far out back then, but I am actually a little grateful to have put aside the doubt about when it would be. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app -
Out With the Old--In With the New!

I pray to god we will, lol, just a small piece, occasionally. That is all I ask :-) -
Out With the Old--In With the New!
Apple203 replied to FluffyChix's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
LOL, I hope she isn't lieing -- I have 5 weeks before I eat solid-ish food. My pre-op diet is a super-basic, low-carb, 1,200 kcal diet. Carbs are limited to veges and 3 fruits a day. Post-op is pretty much what everybody else does: 1 week clear liquids, 2 weeks protein shakes, 2 weeks shakes/softs, then until 3 months: 4 meals with 2.5 oz lean protein + 1/4-1/2 cup fruit or vegetables, 65-75 g protein. -

He's a lucky man -- my husband and son (he's 23) will be on their own for the first month or so after my surgery. They get a small break because I don't have to do the protein shake thing pre-op. -
Calling March Sleevers
Apple203 replied to AskingForAFriend's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same here -- March 14th, start pre-op Feb 28, and ready to get the surgery done! I personally like sfh Pure protein powders -- I get them at Whole Foods. I like to add a little espresso powder to the chocolate, and tart mixed berries to the vanilla to tone down the sweetness. I'm curious to know if I will like these flavors after surgery! Oh, and I ordered PB2 as a flavor add-in, but I haven't tried it. -
LOL , me, either! I think it was the wine talking!!!
-
@Little Green Ugh, I've lost my way. Who is "he"? What is your surgeon's post-op diet?
-
I disagree. Dr, Wiener is a Whole30 kinda doctor. All of them are basically saying the same thing. Release your guard rails...
-
March 14th for me. Seems like its been forever, amiright?
-
LOL you are back!

2 week liquid diet
Apple203 replied to Changingbodies's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm low carb/cal for 2 weeks pre-surgery, too -- TG!! -
Dr. Voung is a Pescatarian who enjoys the occasional steak. :-) I have a mostly vegetarian adult son who won't eat chicken because its "fowl" << haha I'm reading up on various options for meeting protein requirements after surgery. Thanks for the link to Dr. Greger.

Apple203 replied to FluffyChix's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Well done, @FluffyChix! I enjoy reviewing your food logs -- lots of good ideas for the full liquids stage. What's your post-surgery plan look like? How many weeks of full liquids before you move to purees? -
Approved for surgery!
Apple203 replied to Cats315's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Me, too! I thought I was the only one! I was scheduled in November. I think this may be a sign of a well=prepared office. -
It is nerve-wracking, and we all get so emotionally invested. Hope you have a favorable outcome!
-
Vuong is OK. His two books are: Big Ass Salads, and Healthy Green Smoothies. I have both of them, free with Amazon Prime. People get bent because he suggests focusing on your diet and getting that square before you start with a committed exercise regime (aka, beyond walking, etc). I have Weiner's book, too, and his approach is just like Whole30.

Hi, I'm not there yet, but I got this great book with some really great ideas: https://www.amazon.com/Big-Book-Organic-Baby-Food-ebook/dp/B01M15F1O1/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1518203280&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=the+big+book+of+organic+baby+food&psc=1 I kid you not, and some of the combos look great!

@Creekimp13 Can you point to a specific study that supports this? I ask because I'm about the have 80% of my stomach surgically removed and I want to be well-informed about how to maximize my results..
-
Damn, what if I dont have FRX?

The struggle is real!
Apple203 replied to EndlessGoals#2018's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@EndlessGoals#2018 My surgeon recommends Aloe Vera from NutraMetrix. You may want to run that by your practice first, since it doesnt sound like anyone else on the board's surgeon's use this line of products. And MoM, but you've already tried that. Ducalax worked wonders for me after a hysterectomy, sorry it made you sick... -
Sorry to read this. Why can't you go to another surgeon? I'm in Maryland, too, at AAMC, and I think they've been solid.
