I was not ready for the pre-op diet and messed up first day
NYJenn replied to Panda333's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
You’ll be fine...but if you’re not ready, you’re not ready. You can delay you surgery if you want -
Vital protein unflavored

Oh man! The protein powder I used before mixed beautifully in my morning coffee. I loved it, I only bought this one because it was a little cheaper.

Have you had your surgery yet? Weddings truly bring out the worst in people, I’m convinced of it. Could she be jealous that you have lost weight and look great and people might be looking at you instead of her? I know it seems petty, but like I said, weddings turn seemingly normal people into total nut jobs

Do they others beside Cabernet? 14 months out and I do miss wine

* HELP HOW many days in hospital???
NYJenn replied to New&Improved's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I spent two nights in the hospital; the day of my surgery I arrived in the morning and stayed over and then the whole next day, I went home about 11am on day three. So maybe 52 hours -

Anyone NOT track their calories?
NYJenn replied to bodycando's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My program tracks protein and water and carbs but never calories. It has worked for me but I can understand how it may not work for everyone -
My nurse told me there’s no such thing...once it stretches, it stretches

Feeling cold, does it get better with time or a forever thing?
NYJenn replied to 2Bsmaller18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
14 months, always cold. On the bright side I was able to enjoy summer this year without sweating like a pig all day long #swampass 😬 -
My first pair of size 10 pants since about 9th grade!!! It might be time to switch to medium size shirts though 🤔

Why is ibuprofen a no no?
NYJenn replied to polly...'s topic in GLP-1 & Other Weight Loss Medications (NEW!)
So I suffer from horrible migraines and my surgeon said that the very occasional prescription NSAID (a few times a year) for a migraine that won’t quit is fine. Let me explain though, these are migraines that require hospitalization so in those times, I have to weigh the possibility of an ulcer against the quality of life during the migraine. I have done it a few times, I don’t recommend it, but you have to make your own choice -
My bypass was the best choice I ever made...128 lbs in 14 months. I’m happy and healthy.

What is the best/worst thing....
NYJenn replied to KayLow42's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Best: being healthy, happy and in a good place mentally (no more depression meds) Worst: it’s not a cake walk. It takes work. I run, I workout with a trainer, I take my vitamins/supplements, i measure/weigh my food....surgery is not a “fix” It’s a tool. You can sabotage it if you choose to. You have to make yourself accountable -
Mine told me gummies are no good

Doing weird things in the middle of the night?
NYJenn replied to KishaG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have never heard of this being. A side effect of WLS. Maybe talk to you doctor? So scary -
The headache was probably the hardest part the liquid diet for me. I promise it will pass though

Weighed myself this morning and I’ve officially hit a normal BMI...booya!!!

A lesson in eating slow for the newbs
NYJenn posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
14 months out from WLS, ate too fast...threw up HARD...burst the blood vessels around my eyes. Chew thoroughly, eat slow. Have a pleasant day -

A lesson in eating slow for the newbs
NYJenn replied to NYJenn's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Usually I’m very good about it, however this day (my own fault) I waited way too long between meals and was eating much faster/taking larger bites then I should have (I knew it too). Lesson learned
