Sweet Tooth - Post Bypass
ummyasmin replied to shoregirl75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I tried a cup of decaf tea with a capful of toffee flavoured SF syrup. I wouldn't do it everytime but it made for a nice change! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app -

I'm a bit nervous about that too. I took another ring to a jeweler to do some work on it and he butchered it. Very upsetting. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app -

Zomg, I can impulse buy something in a regular clothes shop!! I am going to have to get a handle on this before clothes shopping becomes a new addiction. Walked into TK Maxx and this size 20 (UK) coat fit me! A little tight but I'm losing so I bought it! Yikes, I couldn't tell you the last time I fit a size 20!!!

Same. I have been on metformin for years and victoza for a couple. In the hospital my BG dropped to normal levels,so no need for meds. Then by coincidence I had my annual checkup with my diabetes endo doc scheduled for a couple of weeks post surgery, so they did a full panel and my Hb1ac was normal (can't remember the number). They told me they wanted to have one last look at me in a year and then they'll drop me as a patient altogether! Yay!! (the official way of saying it is "discharge me back to the care of my GP"). I don't even bother taking my bloods anymore cause everytime I do, they're in like 4.6 or sommit. (UK measurements are different to US but that is bang on normal). I'm bloomin' thrilled!!

Coming up on 5 year anniversary and slowing starting to gain
ummyasmin replied to Shea_Shea's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
I'd start by: - Tracking everything you eat and drink, set yourself a daily calorie & macro limit. Make sure you're not accidently eating drinking too much - Look at incorporating keto and/or intermittent fasting. - Start / increase exercise - Possibly do some cognative behavioural therapy around eating behaviours and thoughts. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app -

Sweet Tooth - Post Bypass
ummyasmin replied to shoregirl75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is something I could experiment with, coz I have a bunch of SF syrups. Never thought to put them in tea! I'll let you know how it goes. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app -
Ladies- how do you deal with hair loss?

Ladies, you have to try scarf styling. There's heaps of turban tutorials on Youtube! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app -
I have an awful feeling I've developed a kidney stone post surgery and a quick Google tells me that bypass can increase risk of kidney stone formation. I've been feeling kidney-stoney for a little while now, and yesterday it started to ramp up. So I'm trying to decide do I cart myself off to A&E, although the scan probably won't be done until Monday, or do I just keep dosing myself up with Panadol and try and flush it through my system. That's if it is a kidney stone. Could be a fibroid acting up hmmmmm... Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh I know someone here in Ireland with haemochromatosis. The Irish also have higher rates of cystic fibrosis and coeliac disease, oddly enough. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app
