Nice! You look amazing, congrats! -
If you have reflux at all you really should listen to Dr and do bypass. So many people end up having a second surgery after sleeve to get bypass due to increased reflux. As for bypass—- love mine. Zero issues and the only thing I can see as big difference is taking vitamins Easy recovery for me- no issues other than gas first few days and then some foamies for like a week when I ate or drank too fast

Down in the dumps, wls diet sucks!
BostonWLKC replied to Tierra T Tij's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Use this forum to connect with people... vent, get advice, commiserate (lol) or just talk. It really helps to have people who know what you’re going through and “get it!” Hang in there it does get amazingly better like a week after surgery. You’re almost there, surgery is near! -
What Allwet said . I’m eating 4-5 small meals.... protein centered. Meals are about 4 ounces- 3 ounces of protein with another ounce of veggies Snacks are sugar free , yogurt or cheese Have you talked to your dietician/ nutritionist?
-
Hang in there— it’ll get better once you can have food!

Boss Wants Me to Delay Surgery
BostonWLKC replied to clabelle2007's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That’s ridiculous. There will always be “something “ at work. It’s also borderline inappropriate for them to even talk about your sick leave in that manner. Calling it “elective????” It’s none of their business why you’re taking a medical leave You’re absolutely not overreacting. Just be careful how you respond to the request -
Wow! Amazing job!!

How Good are You about Not Drinking While Eating?
BostonWLKC replied to Beck90's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Perhaps just use sauce or other item to make it more moist? Hopefully that limits or avoids your need for drinking during meals ? -
Might be cancelling Surgery. Given the choice would you do it again?
BostonWLKC replied to Chickensoup's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
DO NOT CANCEL! You’ll regret it if you do. Stop listening to people who have no idea what you’re doing, going through or anything about the surgery. -
VSG candidate, boyfriend NOT onboard!
BostonWLKC replied to Futuresleevie18's topic in Rants & Raves
“He's always complained about my weight, so the stress from that didn't help and now I have an excellent chance at success, but I'm getting even more stress. “ Sounds like he hasn’t been very supportive if he “complains” about your weight. My husband was also not in agreement while I was researching and doing the pre appointments but he respected my desire and reasons for getting healthier. He is super supportive now. IMO you need to do for you first— any other relationship should respect that -
Finally out of the Hospital. How do you keep yourselves distracted?
BostonWLKC replied to Malpraxis's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
