Pizza at 7 or 8 weeks?
ShoppGirl replied to lostmykeysinspace's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same as jnfinney I had cauliflower pizza at two months and it was fine but I am not sure about the real crust. Have you had any sort of bread or tortillas yet? -
I woke up from surgery with one and wore it the next day till I got home but then I took it off. It’s just for your comfort though so wear it as long as you feel you need it.

Depression after surgery?
ShoppGirl replied to GreenThumb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would call your dr office. I was able to take my Wellbutrin the next day In the hospital. They may normally have you wait without issues but you are having worse depression. Perhaps they will let you take your rx normal. Although it seems like crushed it would be working better not worse. -
Any April 2021 surgeries?!
ShoppGirl replied to KidaandRoux's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Baby food containers would work well. -
Do I have an eating disorder?
ShoppGirl replied to ShoppGirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Update. I was able to get an appointment with one of the therapist that is relatively close to me. It’s not until end of July though. I called the other one to see if they can get me in sooner. Anyone have any good books or other resources I can read In the meantime? -

Favorite Grocery Products
ShoppGirl replied to ChubRub's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Just found new quest peanut butter cups at walmart. It’s not a Reece’s cup but I will definitely be buying again for chocolate cravings. -
I wondered how the calories were so much lower in the powder. Thanks to you and the original poster that brought this up.

Not much weight loss; should I be concerned?
ShoppGirl replied to SoulGardener's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with others that it’s probably just fluids. Try to stay off the scale at least until your first post op appointment. Things should balance out by then. -
How long do stalls usually last!
ShoppGirl replied to Chantrella's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ha. Sounds like something I would do asking hubby to hide the scale. Lol -
3 Week freakout (post-op)
ShoppGirl replied to Donna4545's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This thread is really old but some new folks say they are having similar issues so I will reply. The three week stall is so common. It can honestly happen before or after but usually it’s right around three weeks. If you do a search on this site you will see how often it is talked about. Rest assured. The weight loss will pick back up. Just stick to your plan. -
Phase 2 clear liquid diet ideas...
ShoppGirl replied to Marina Vela's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The others have good suggestions but I would add clear protein drink (they aren’t as sweet and can be watered down). Also, I have heard of people that just used ramen seasoning packets and tossed the noodle part. -
Mine lasted about a month.

Awesome. I just reached one-feel and recently myself. It feels great!!

Good Luck to all the May surgery dates. 🍀

My doctor (well actually the nurse practitioner) said to use cocoa butter every day before and after surgery. The real stuff that you get in a bar. I also put collagen peptides in my yogurt smoothies. The dr says there is no evidence to suggest it works or that it doesn’t so I figure it can’t hurt to try.

ShoppGirl replied to KidaandRoux's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I think you meant to ask flounder that but if so, they have them already peeled at Walmart now I noticed the other day. -

Have you ever tried mixing a bit of PB Fit in with vanilla Greek yogurt and dipping apples in it. Something else to look forward to trying if you like the apples with peanut butter taste. -
If you like ranch dressing you can make ranch dip for veggies with the dry dressing seasoning mix and plain Greek yogurt. Also I mixed PB Fit into vanilla Greek yogurt and dipped apple slices Into it.

Dating/love/relationship
ShoppGirl replied to tamirn's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well they say most people meet the love of their life when they aren’t looking. Maybe focus on yourself but leave the option open if you meet the RIGHT guy.chances are if you meet him you will change your mind. -
March surgeries
ShoppGirl replied to Hopefulin2021's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am down 37 pounds overall. 23 since surgery. I am feeling pretty good. Feeling like I have gotten a groove going. I still forget to drink like I should when I am out and about, but I have been setting timers if I know I will be out for a while. it’s a process. -
Apps After Weight Loss Surgery
ShoppGirl replied to Numbheart's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have only tried Baritastic but it suits my needs. -
I got mine the day after my two week post op appointment. Dr said it was okay. I didn’t have any side effects at all. Everything was fine.
