I also have a desk job, although I do a lot of walking around the office. I took 12 days out of work because I traveled to have surgery. You should be able to drive after about 2 days if you have it...
I have breakfast around 6 to 7 am I have a snack either yogurt or a small apple midmorning around 10 am then lunch around 12 around 3 pm I have another snack. This is how I have kept it simple. If I...
Good luck! I've heard lots of good things about Dr. Alvarez.
Gretch, you should ask your doctor about how he calibrated the size of your sleeve. Anything we may tell you would be simply speculating.
I am 8 months out of surgery and I am able to eat more than...
I weight myself every morning before taking a shower...and I thought I was obsessed LOL...honestly I think you should avoid using Bob more than once a day, specially because weight fluctuates during...
What will keep you from gaining weight back is exercise. You can eat most foods with moderation, even chocolate and as long as you exercise you will work it out.
Don't ever stop exercising. Don't...
Baby food is high in sugar and carbs. My dietician told me not to eat baby food.
Nana, you don't tell us what artificial sweeteners cause you these symptoms.
I use splenda and stevia. I have heard that what causes problems to your health is aspartame, which is the component of...
My prayers are with your family!
I have not used protein drinks. My dietician recently prescribed Protifar which is a protein powder that has no flavor, you can mix it with anything sweet or salty. I mix it with yogurt, oatmeal or...
I didn't experience pain at all after surgery. I wasn't even prescribed medication for pain. The gas wasn't a deal for me either as my doctor prescribed some pills. I was walking 1 hr after surgery....
I have never stopped having dinner with my family. I eat slowly what I can eat and then just sit and chat for a while. I even did that while on liquid diet. Somehow I feel powerful because I am able...
Hi!
I am 6 months out of surgery, I would highly recommend you to avoid any carbonated drinks. Diet sodas are high in sodium, which retains water and slows down weight loss.
I used to drink sodas a...
Well, nobody told me about horror stories due to WLS, I saw it for myself...someone I know died due to complications, but that didn't stop me and I truly believe I made the right decision in having...
Nope, this is a forum for gastric sleeve or vertical sleeve gastrectomy...the plication is a whole different procedure.
I'm glad it helped :)
Don't give up! tomorrow is another day, just focus in what your objective is, get that 10% off so you can move on to what's next!

Today I am 6 months out of surgery and happy to say that I've been able to make it this far, that my life has changed in so many ways for the better...I look at the mirror and I see a totally...
Doll,
I also had problems to sleep right after surgery. I think I started to sleep well again about 15 days after surgery. I would recommend to wait until a month to sleep on your stomach again.
I...
Hi Chantal,
I will be 6 months out of surgery on February 10th. Six months out of surgery you will be just fine, you will be able to eat a regular meal, just in very small amounts.
I didn't share...
Sorry I can't help you because I didn't do the pre-op diet.
I am just writing this because I think it is your doctor's duty to provide you better guidance about the pre-op diet. I am not saying he...
Yes you are right, no meal should last longer than 15-20 minutes because when you stay there and time goes by you are able to eat more.
yeah Lizzie! you can do it!!
You lost about 100 lbs in about 4 months right? WOW that's a lot, so I think it is normal, you may be going through a phase where your body is adapting. The higher your weight is at the beginning the...
I like campbell's soup.
When I was on that phase of the diet I ate everything natural (like freshly cooked) but I understand the convenience of canned food.
If you want to try the canned soups, I...
