You'll be fine.
Please don’t be scared. My weight gain was a direct result of a very bad period of depression and anxiety, plus serious back-to-back illnesses. The hiatal hernia and gallstones could very well be...

I just had a re-sleeve, hernia repair, and gallbladder removal last month. You and I had our initial sleeves done pretty close to each other. The hernia gave me acid reflux but it was controlled...
A possible suggestion to your host is to having a tasting portion on your plate with the rest of the plate being decorated with flowers and garnishes. That way host still gets to show some skillz...
Try looking at getting a re-sleeve. Not all surgeons will do it, though. If you have more questions for me, just ask and I’ll try to answer as best as I can
I would do poached eggs first. Scrambled can be hit and miss at this stage.
Tinman, I was thinking of him the other day! He was a crazy mofo. Lol Good to know he's doing well.
As for purée, that's where I am right now, but I'm kind of like tinman. I will eat soft foods...

Scrambled can be touch and go. Cook them too firm, and they can totally be hard to digest.
It could be how they were cooked, too. You and I have the same surgery date. I haven’t tried eggs yet, but when I do, I’ll probably poach them
Can you switch it around so you take your tablets first then your shake?
Hair loss is common after major trauma. There really isn’t anything you can do at this point to stop it. It has to run its course. However, what you can do is start taking Biotin 10,000 mcg to...
It might help to know the why regarding the pre-op diet. The purpose is to help shrink your liver. Most obese patients have fatty livers, and having your liver shrink prior to surgery makes it...
Well, the first surgery was after an adulthood-long battle. Mine started in my mid twenties when in college. Then, fertility treatments, then pregnancies. Aging. Genetics. Aversion to exercise...
One of the things I learned is that our signals can be crossed. Often, our hunger signals are actually thirst signals but we can't recognize it anymore.
Welcome.
Try to look at it in a different way. There was no reversal option with your knees, instead you got them replaced. With the sleeve, it's like your stomach will be entering a time...
The first time around, when I ate, it was a like a “tap” feeling at my sternum. This time, I don't have that but I just lose interest.
AloBariatrics was my organization, too, but I was a couple of days earlier and in Puerto Vallarta. Welcome.
Each doctor will have a different post-surgical nutritional protocol. It's fruitless comparing them because they can be quite varied. You'll just drive yourself mad wondering why Dr. Q's patients...
Tinman! Even though I have moved away from my beloved Edmonton, I still bleed orange and blue. I know this season is pretty much over for them, but we got a glimpse, last year, of what this team...
Dr. Almanza doesn't do re-sleeves anymore. So, I started looking at other surgeons. I really couldn't find anything negative about Dr. A. Lopez (there are different Lopez out there). Plus, my...
Oh, and I forgot to add that this time I had zero throat irritation. I have no idea how Dr. Lopez managed it but I have absolutely no trouble drinking any fluids.
I had my sleeve 5 years ago. For 4 years, everything was going well. I maintained at 140-145 lbs. However, in 2016, my emotional life took a dark turn. Past demons rose up and I struggled to work...
