I've thought about getting one. I was wondering if it would be helpful. I won't have surgery until June, but Iwant to stock up on the things that I will need/use after.

What's an air fryer???

From what I've read, it uses only a tiny bit of oil to "fry" foods. I'm not exactly sure how it works. My only fear, is that if I get one, it might keep giving me cravings for fried foods. I think I'd be better off not eating ANYTHING fried, even if it's healthier.

Airfryer makes it possible to enjoy healthier version of your favorite foods by frying them with a tablespoon or less of oil and draining excess fat during cooking. The unique starfish shape circulates air around the entire unit, heating up to 390 degrees to ensure all food is cooked evenly. food becomes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The Philips Airfryer does more than just fry. It can also grill, roast, steam and even bake your food so you have more quick and easy options when feeding your family or entertaining guests. Gordon Ramsay, a Michelin-star chef and restaurateur, has teamed up with Philips Airfryer and created healthy chef quality dishes that are both fast and delicious.

We've owned an air fryer for about 6 months and my entire family agrees that it was my best purchase ever! We use it everyday and have never put oil in it. My son eats chicken/fries in it often and I've never even used oil for that. I can't wait to be on solids so that I can cook chicken breast in it. I would highly recommend one. The food cooks fast and comes out delicious!

I have a Paula Dean air fryer and had it months before my sleeve. It's wonderful and it makes everything taste wonderful and very crispy with just a very few sprays of a good olive or coconut oil. The problem is is that you are frying foods that are BREADED so that fact alone may be enough to keep you from investing in one knowing that you'd be eating breaded foods, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this right away but maybe down the road as a treat to occasionally air fry some appetizers or corndogs or chicken nuggets etc. in the healthiest way that's possible to prepare a fried food. It's a fun toy but not a cheap toy and probably shouldn't be a priority for anybody working on losing weight . ????

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
