You know, you could simply say that you disagree with me and do it much more politely.

You know, you could simply say that you disagree with me and do it much more politely.
We're going to disagree Ann. You don't get all the ghrelin cut out of your stomach. Much of it yes, but not all of it, and it has nothing to do with reducing thirst signals. Quite the opposite...
"the cheeseburgers were never worth it."
Not one person ever got fat from eating a two pieces of bread.
You only have to drink a lot of water if you're on a low carb diet. I don't know why so many gastric sleeve surgeons try to put people on low carb diets. They're dangerous and they don't work well...
The 2nd and 3rd weeks are the hardest to take off weight precisely because of what you can eat. From the beginning of week two to the end of week four I only dropped 6 pounds. I then dropped 14...
Listen to your doctor. Some patches probably work better than others. He very likely knows what works and what doesn't.
You know what though? When I was younger I was really into power lifting, and I know I'll have to lift again to get my strength back after losing a lot of weight, but after that I would like to get...
One thing I must mention. Personally, I think the vast majority of people make coffee much too strong and ruin the taste. It takes one LEVEL teaspoon per cup--not a heaping teaspoon. My mug holds...
"I'm with sraebaer, but I use the atkins french vanilla shakes."
Yeah, I really like the Atkins shakes too!
First of all, a little cream in your coffee isn't going to kill you, but other than cream, have you tried flavored coffee? I really like French Vanilla Coffee. (Not French Vanilla creamer mind you,...
Yeah, I'll stick to the pool too.
Interesting about the antacids. I had at least 2 or 3 bleeding ulcers a month before surgery. My bariatric doc put me on Nexium, but I think he does that with all his patients because, in the booklet...
". . .since I've put on weight, I've also become a recluse. I don't want to go anywhere because I don't want to be seen."
That's a lot of people. My weight has gone up and down my whole life. When...
I hate to say this, but I often wonder just how many there really are and what the measure of success is. I've seen one YouTube channel after another by people who have had this surgery where they...
Thanks for the tip Annette. I just found the Barimelt stuff on Amazon. I read last night that the chewables really aren't good enough and that we should be using the dissoluble stuff, so Barimelt...
Lookin' Good toots! :cool:
I think the tuna packed in oil is less dry than the tuna packed in water. I also like Worceshire sauce on mine. (Zero carbs.)
How about scrambled eggs? Worceshire sauce isn't bad on those either....
Same here. People have partial gastrectomies every day. No one seems to think twice about it if you tell them you had one.
What I said was that a partial gastrectomy was a treatment for a badly ulcerated stomach, and it is. Admittedly, while it used to be a common procedure, today they only do it in rare cases. At any...
Did you lose 123 pounds since the surgery or does that include weight you lost before the surgery as well?
Not that it isn't impressive either way. You're obviously doing something right! :)
I only told my sister and nephew and his finance. As for everyone else who knew I was having some kind of surgery, I just told them I was having a partial gastronomy. A gastric sleeve is actually a...
Try crackers topped with sugar free applesauce. Also, I had never tried Cream of Wheat until about a week ago. Turns out it's not too bad.
"When I woke up it felt like I had only been out for 2 seconds!"
A state of "timelessness" they call it. You could be out for a second or a million years and not know the difference.
It was my only surgery since getting my tonsils out when I was three. Didn't feel a thing. Now in the post-op room I was having some trouble trying to take a deep breath because two of the holes they...
Looking forward to it doc.
