Ooh wow they have tons of them. Any brand suggestions.

From what my team said. Nothing will help with the hair loss. The supplements will help with the hair that grows back in to make it stronger and healthier but it won’t help the accelerated loss unfortunately. I wonder for those reading this that are pre op if taking it pre surgery would help prevent it??

There are people who have posted that they got pregnant on here but I don’t think many stuck around cause I never really heard anymore from them. First off, congratulations. I would contact my team and let them know I was pregnant and speak frequently with the nutritionist to make sure you are eating the right things for you and baby.

I don’t have menopause yet but I sweat because of a medication I am on and post surgery I was hoping to be cold all the time but I still sweat ALOT. I don’t think it always helps.

Do you feel nauseous? Perhaps an anti nausea Med will help or another one if that’s one you can’t keep down already.there are also anti nausea patches you put behind your ear. Definitely talk to your team.

Some people have gas pain post op for a short time (it’s from the gas they pump into you for the surgery) but if it continues I would definitely talk to your team about a PPI. I was fortunate and didn’t have any but people swear walking and gasX help.

Stall as definitely par for the course and the above mentioned three week stall is probably your culprit. If you are eating according to plan or as you say 7-800 calories there is no way you are not in calorie deficit so you will lose. Most people after stalls lose a few pounds real quick so it almost balances out. For now try to stay off the scale if it is messing with your head but just stick to your plan and the stall will lift.

Chances are the weight loss will slow and she will level out naturally as she gets closer to a healthy weight but if not she can always work with the nutritionist to add in healthy calories to get to a balance that we call maintenance when she gets to a weight that her and her doctor feel is best. Some people shoot for a weight that is ten to 15 pounds lower than they want because of regain that happens to most of us.

I have not researched their smoothies (I tried but it wants me to enter my email) but if you just want to add fruit and veggies why not make your own? I make them with fruit and I buy some frozen fruit at Walmart. Just add a bit of frozen, a bit of fresh and a splash of water and it makes an excellent smoothie. You can also add a bit of Splenda if needed. And tip if you rinse things right away it’s much simpler cleanup.

I am one year out and I guess I eat enough food now portion wise that I get my fiber in naturally but Post op I struggled with constipations. I also took benefiber daily and after three days with no movement I took milk of magnesia. Luckily I only had to take the MOM once because the daily benefiber did the trick. I used the Walmart generic which is powder form so I eventually weaned myself off of that and now I am regular without it.

I used the premiere protein as well (in fruit punch). I second the not sticking up too much though unless you have someone else who can drink them because our tastes can change post surgery, especially for sweet stuff.

Good luck. 👍

If you have one, Winn Dixie has rotisserie Turkey and chicken that they will slice for you at the deli. I never asked about sodium but I don’t think they add alot or junk to it because the calories are very low as best as I can recall.

What are nut butter packets. I mean obviously peanut butter but are they natural and where do you get packets. I live in florida and these are great ideas for me to stock up for hurricanes.

Their menu and nutritional info is all online too. 👍

Ooh I will have to ask my best friend that lives in a little bit bigger city if she has any of those restaurants, especially Zaxby’s because that Buffalo salad sounds delicious. Is the chipotle ranch at Moe’s real spicy? I love ranch but I’m more of a mild type for salsa or wings or whatever. Those skinnylicious salads sound interesting too. If you like Thai salad the tropical smoothie cafe had one that I thought was pretty good (I must confess it was my first ever Thai anything though so you can take that with a grain of salt).

Sounds yummy. Thanks.

What is the pollo asado exactly? I seen it on the menu but wasn’t really sure. I have never been to chipotle. I heard that their tacos are really good.

Hummm. I never would have thought about subway having salads (or protein bowls). I will have to check that out. On their website I see “no bready bowls” I assume that’s them.

It will depend on you size, your fitness and some medical stuff. You should really ask your dr this one.

So glad to hear you are recovering relatively well. That’s great that you have a scale that measures the small losses (less than a pound). Mine is supposed to and it gives me random weights with ounces but I don’t think it’s accurate down to the ounce or I would have seen losses more like yours.

Hello and welcome. How are you doing post op so far??

Yay. I was thinking about you today. So glad they didn’t make you cancel.

I’m so sorry for all that you are going through. I think your plan to see a psychologist is a really good one though and I’m sure your physical therapist will teach you some exercises you can do as soon as you are ready. Once you work through some of your issues with the psychologist perhaps another visit with your nutritionist would be helpful.

Not everyone loses weight on the pre op diet. It is actually designed to shrink the liver only. Most people also lose weight but not all. The important thing is to stick to the diet so that your liver shrinks And your surgeon can go on with the surgery as planned.
