Go slow and go bland. You do not know if your tastes will change after surgery.
Thanks Ann. I think I tend to consider myself as my former size. I'll have to break that!
Thanks. I did go to their site, but is was vague. I have emailed them. However, I think I am leaning towards going later this summer.
Hey gang,
anyone know the size/weight limits for roller coasters at cedar point in Sandusky Ohio? I am thinking about going on Friday with a work colleague who is in town from Florida. I know I...
Although most people will get their fist stall at 2-3 weeks, other stalls will vary based each person's own situation. I am 16 months post-op and have lost over 200 lbs despite several stalls...
Anxiety before surgery is normal. That said, I was worried about not having the surgery or that it would be too late to help me. I'm 16 months post-op and my life has vastly improved.
Try not to stock up on too much as your tastes may change after surgery. I bought two cases of isopure protein drinks I could tolerate before surgery and couldn't stand after being sleeved.
There is no need to have a food funeral. Sure some foods may be unhealthy, however you will find some tastes will change. I used to love 1/2 lb bacon cheeseburgers with a large order of cheese...
I too was told no more NSAIDs ever again. That said, I was just prescribed NSAIDs in the form of eye drops. I explained being sleeved to my eye doctor and he said it would be a very low dosage. I...
Or since they already know about the band, say it is a revision to the band and leave it at that.
Congrats on your transformation.
I agree with nburrows. Yes, it won't be all rainbows and ponies. However, for me , it beats my wife and family having to order a triple-wide casket. Trepidation is a good thing as this is life...
Glad to hear your husband is in remission.
You may find that over time your desire for these things have lessened. I used to enjoy large orders of cheese fries several times a week and more than a few instances where it was multiple times...
My medical team reported that other patients who were borderline with the bmi was able to get approval via BCBS citing additional co-morbities. Get your sleep study done and have your sleep index...
The possible change of taste was something my medical team mentioned repeatedly. I was skeptical. However, for the first several months, I truly did notice heightened senses of smell and taste.
This was actually the biggest concern I had about surgery. I used to drink with almost every bite and dinner out would include four or five drink refills. Now, I have gotten so used to not drinking...
I used to purée slices of hot turkey and gravy. Sometimes I would add some mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese. Other times is would use roast beef and brown gravy. Another option recommended by my...
Think about this, your body has gone through major surgery and has been working hard. However, with any activity the body requires down time to catch up/rest/recover. Just like an NFL football...
Hey gang!
I recently found myself doing something I never imagined. I bought a pair of Lucky brand jeans. Being morbidly obese most of my adult life, I shopped at the tall and wide stores paying...
Congrats! I started out wearing size 60 and now I am down to size 38/36. If you haven't done so, I recommend you take a pic of you holding up a pair of your fat pants. It will give you a nice...
Sleeve surgery will not cure anyone's addictions to sweets or any other food. It will help you with portion control. You're right in second guessing your decision as this is not something that...
Nicely done!
Congrats on your weight loss in progress and your efforts in helping others decide their pathway to better health.
