I was fortunate in that I was able to use my regular counselor who I used during my divorce. So she already knew me. Her biggest thing was making sure I understood the surgery and that it's a tool to...
Thank you for your input. I've actually already had the surgery about 5 weeks ago. I was offering this to people who haven't had theirs yet.
I've seen several posts recently where people have had nausea and vomiting after surgery because of the anesthesia. I was fortunate in that I had bladder surgery years ago, and vomited after surgery....
Congratulations! It's great that the two of you will have each other to lean on through this process. This site is great too. Lot's of wonderful people who can answer questions and offer support.
I'm assuming that means you are now under 200. That's my short-term goal right now. Congratulations!!
Congratulations on your surgery.
I'm confused myself. I think I've been hungry since about one week after my surgery. I have actual stomach growling. It doesn't bother me as much as it did pre-surgery. It's disappointing because my...
Glad to hear a doctor finally took the time to help you. Best wishes for a successful surgery and recovery.
Best wishes to you. I received mixed reactions, but in the end, I knew that my reasons for having the surgery were sound. I needed to do this for my health. I'm glad we can all support each other...
Best of luck to you. I'm relatively new too (3-1/2 weeks post surgery), and I'm learning how to navigate this new way of eating.
Congratulations! My surgery was on August 10th, so I'm not too far ahead of you. We're on this journey together.
Congratulations! It's encouraging to hear stories like this.
Thank you for this post. I am a newbie...13 days post-op, and I was getting a little discouraged today. My bariatric physician and nut have given me one plan to follow and my surgeon has given me a...
Thank you so much!
No they're normal on my phone and computer
Every photo I upload uploads sideways. Even when I click on the rotate arrows, it will not change. Can someone help me with this?
I was also told not to use a straw because of the air it introduces into your stomach. But, I don't have trouble sipping and don't use straws much anyway.
The unflavored protein powder is a good suggestion. The dietitian in the hospital gave me some samples of Unjury, a flavorless protein powder. You could add it to any of your drinks. You can also add...
You don't have long to go either. It will be here before you know it. Good luck!
I finally got the call today...my insurance approved my surgery. I've already done all the upfront stuff....food logs, counselor appointments, nutritionist, etc. After all that waiting and calling,...
I've had mixed reaction from "that's great" to "no, that's too drastic". But, it's my decision, and like you, I'm doing it mainly for my health. Ten years ago, I would have done it for looks, but...
I work in Tallahassee and that's where I'll be having my surgery. Thanks for the tip on the shakes. I'll need to stock up once I get my surgery date.
Thanks for the encouragement. Luckily the had me do all that first. So far Premier Protein are my favorite shakes but they're hard to find. Once I get insurance approval they will schedule my...
I'm just waiting for my insurance to approve my surgery. After the surgeon's office sent my insurance all the required paperwork, they wanted one more thing. I got it to the doctor's office quickly,...
