I feel you Jewel!
I had a pretty easy go of it with my WLS dropping weight. Not that I didn't have a few stalls along the way but all in all I lost my weight within 10 months and have kept it...
I know a few people that have had their reconstruction with Dr Sauceda in Monterray and I haven't heard anything but amazing experience with him. I'm considering him for mine as well. There's a...
I haven't read any responses but speaking from my own experience, I think you'll be fine. You WILL be tired. Take time for yourself and sit/rest as much as possible but it CAN be done. I was back...
I so wish every pre-op read and understood this like nothing else they have ever read on here. Thank you!
A-freaking-men!
I avoided most carbs if not all for at least a month. The only thing I had when I went to purees was a couple days of "easter dinner type meal" ... since my surgery was around that. Hubby took...
Be careful. If sweets/carbs were your go-to food pre-op, they will resume post op unless you're vigilant. This surgery isn't a guarantee, we still need to be mindful when we eat (most of the time)...
Congratulations fellow successful Dr Almanza sleever!!! You look amazing!
I wish I'd done this at your age so I had less skin post op but unfortunately plastics are likely part of my future. Great...
I would say this is exactly what I experienced. I have fine thin hair as well and didn't notice much at all. I did really kick up my protein which I think may have helped. I didn't supplement...
I think everyone. I mean EVERYONE... pre/non/post sleeve should really adopt this practise of not eating while/before/during eating. It helps us not eat as much... which of course is what food...
Think of your stomach like the drain in your sink.
If you drink water, it goes through fast and quick.
If you eat food it sits (which is what makes you feel full) until it digests... slowly. ...
Keep your sodium rich foods to a minimum ... aka processed meats, canned goods, freezer foods. If it comes from a convenience or fast food type business you can be sure its full of sodium. Also,...
2 weeks out and you had curry? yikes! I couldn't imagine that pain. I didn't try curry for months!
I'd suggest tums I guess. Also, stick to your doc's post-op dietary instructions and you...
I was back at day 6 full time. Then 1/2 days for the rest of the week when I realized it was too soon. I have a desk job.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! That's awesome!!!
It's pretty much impossible to gain 10 lbs of ACTUAL weight in a week. You would need to be eating 35,000 excess calories a week to do that... and then restrict (or burn off) by 24,500 calories to...
I'm 1.5 yrs out and feel incredible. I hit my goal after 10 months and have been maintaining within 4 lbs ever since. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Only regret I have is not doing...
I'm 1.5 yrs out now and I've had a relatively easy go of it. I've had some issues with low iron combined with low BP which resulted in some fainting. As well, I had some concerns about losing too...
I haven't read any responses but since I've dealt with this I figured I had some wisdom to impart :)
I experienced this exact issue and blogged about it earlier this year.
so... in order......
I've been really happy so far with my research of Dr Sauceda in Monterray ... I haven't yet booked anything but I am THISCLOSE to doing it! ...check out the board on OH ... Dr. Sauceda Patients...
Hair loss isn't a given. It also isn't a for sure that you will keep it. I didn't have any hair loss but a friend of mine did. We both focused on high protein. She also did biotin, I didn't.
I...
That was a great post :)
I did it around 3 weeks out with a pc of steak. I knew I wasn't ready for solids and especially for solids that dense. I just love meat and I was missing the feeling of chewing. 1 teensy pc did...
Great job! Dr Almanza (and other doctors!) has given back so many of us the lives we always wanted to live!
Congratulations!!!!!
