Foods that make you feel full
BostonWLKC replied to pikachu.abuomar's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)
Grilled or rotisserie chicken, veggie burger HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 191.4 5’6” -
When do you bite the bullet....
BostonWLKC replied to TakingABreak's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I feel like I had the most reaction when I purchased a few pants and shirts that fit better-you can see the weight loss better. I would recommend though that you only buy a few as hopefully you lose more quickly and you need to go shopping again Start with your closet! Even if they don’t fit perfectly yet I’m sure you will be able to see that they fit better than they diss! HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 191.4 5’6” -
Considering which surgery to choose
BostonWLKC replied to MVP18's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I had bypass and zero reflux since. Recovery was easy and minimal other than gas pain for a couple of days. I feel like bypass gives you more benefit but everyone is different HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 191.4 5’6” -
I didn’t experience any vomiting either- that isn’t normal. However if you eat too fast or don’t chew well enough you can spit up what we call “frothies” which is just frothy like spit . Sometimes just regurgitate food that gets stuck but that just like spit up food.... no vomiting HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 191.4 5’6”

Who didn’t/doesn’t have to do 2 weeks liquid?

Importance of drinking water
BostonWLKC replied to Mattymatt's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
What is the name of the app you’re using for water? I’m horrible at getting it in and struggle at 35-40 oz nevermind 60 HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 191.4 5’6” -
Surgeon didn't complete my Gastric Bypass surgery!
BostonWLKC replied to numinousvessel's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Mililani50 , sorry to hear that. That should subside in the next few days! If it doesn’t then call your Doctor I didn’t have any pain really after day 1 other than itchy incisions and feeling like I did a stomach workout. I joke that I swear they didn’t do the surgery based on pain and eating amounts. All around good luck I guess Hang in there HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 191.4 5’6” -

Really nervous....
BostonWLKC replied to sasa_maria's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Why not consider bypass ? As The stomach isn’t removed Also would consider the amount of sleeve patients who end up with doing another surgery from sleeve to bypass Good luck on your decision! HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 191.4 5’6” -
It’s definitely different for me. I don’t get a full feeling ...I feel like the food sits in my throat (assume that’s food that isn’t in the stomach bc it’s full?? Dunno) Either way- I always measure and just go with 3-4 ounces HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 191.4 5’6”

Sleeve or Bypass with GERD?
BostonWLKC replied to Jerseygirl4523's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My understanding is that bypass eliminates GERD where the sleeve has less of a chance of eliminating it I had it and have no trace after bypass HW 242, SW 236- Bypass 12/20/17 GW#1- 199 [emoji736]. GW#2- 175 CW 192 5’6” -

8 days and no protin and barely any water!!

How do you get to 60g protein and stay under 800
BostonWLKC replied to ElseeG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Forgot to mention calories for day are usually around 5-600 calories total HW 242, SW 236- Bypass 12/20/17 GW#1- 199 [emoji736]. GW#2- 175 CW 194 5’6” -
How do you get to 60g protein and stay under 800
BostonWLKC replied to ElseeG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Definitely easier if you have a shake for one of your meals . I do one for breakfast (30g) , then triple zero yogurt (15g) for a mid morning snack, turkey or 3 oz chicken for lunch (18g), string cheese (6g) for mid afternoon snack ... then dinner! You’ll get used to it Now water?? I really struggle with!! HW 242, SW 236- Bypass 12/20/17 GW#1- 199 [emoji736]. GW#2- 175 CW 194 5’6” -

BostonWLKC replied to Yettid's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi I believe you should be eating every 3 hours so that’s normal! I think your calories are fine but maybe it’s what you’re getting them from that’s leaving you hungry? Are you eating lean proteins for meals? HW 242, SW 236- Bypass 12/20/17 GW#1- 199 [emoji736]. GW#2- 175 CW 194 5’6”
