Merill 88 Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) 5 hours ago, hende289 said: I just had my 1st post op appointment 5/24/22 and the nurse told me to try and avoid the scale at all costs. She said that my metabolism will be doing all kinds of crazy things to adjust after the surgery. She promised to just follow the dieticians plan and get in some walking and weight will continue to fall off. After being postponed twice with my surgery due to covid cases, I'm now rescheduled for the 27th of June. Reading all this about the scales and stalling I'm one that weighs herself everyday lol it's good that I've watched this video, such vital information for everyone having this sort of surgery for weight loss, thanks so much for sharing 🙏🙏🙏 Edited May 26, 2022 by Merill 1 Possum220 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s sold out along with all the other packs of the same brand so it must be good! For me it has a very chemical after taste that is off-putting, but it's such a good source of Protein in a small quantity that I am still using it, but as a smoothy base with a little Fairlife vanilla Protein Shake and plain greek yogurt. Since today I start soft foods, I am going to add a little banana. MUCH tastier this way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is everyone doing? Congrats surgery twin! Tuesday for my sleeve too. I spent one night in and was released the next day. I'm doing my walking, getting the Protein and Water required. Pain is manageable with Tylenol and gabapentin. How is it going for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s in his own practice now, but used to be with the group I’m using. I screened with his practice but he does a ‘Gastroplasty’ not gastrectomy and insurance companies don’t cover it…yet. And, I think one can only expect tops a 50 lb weight loss with his procedure. That being said, he is regarded as a top surgeon, and my family practice doctor mentioned him to me. As I said, he’s highly regarded and his former practice has the best of the best surgeons. His advice is excellent. I remember watching this video about 5 months ago when first starting my research. Today I watched it and marveled at how calmly he speaks about the ‘stall’ and I had to wonder how many times he’s had to talk someone off the ledge when they have a stall after going through all this. 1 FarfelDiego reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darcell76 11 Posted May 28, 2022 1 day post op. I was in so much pain yesterday none of the pain medication was working for me. I was able to drink without feeling nauseous. My Breakfast tray consist of Protein Shake, milk, veggie broth and decaffeinate coffee. I should be getting discharged today even though I’m still having pain 1 Merill reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
