Capt Derel

I had my sleeve done on 2/17 This is my routine: Morning 17oz Eas Myoplex. 300cal 5.5oz V8 30cal Total time to complete 1 hour 45-60 min break inbetween lunch One fish filet around 4oz 130cal Total time 3 hours 45-60 min break inbetween dinner One fish filet 4oz 130 cal Total time 3 hours. 590cal/day average Notice no Water inbetween. After 1 hour after my last meal Thats when I get my water in. Usually a 20oz bottle which takes me an hour to drink. Did I tell you that food sucks. I really hate to eat now. Maybe my doc put the ringer on me cause I did it for my job cause he knew I had no choice.

nutritional value. Thats the internet slang for us sleevers

Anyone have any recipes for a seafood mix like the mix from sams? Mucho gracias

Ok I am not a woman first off all. But I will throw this out there. I used to be able to get the top of the line strenght thiomucase cream. I cant anymore so I cant vouch for products on the market now. I have used this before on my inner thighs for 6 months pre summer when I was 20ish. It did work for me. It helps mobilize fat cells. Do a search to get the full story on it. Capt Derel is surprising isn't he. But to get that mental focus your looking for. I cant tell you that. ECA used to be the way to go but we cant use that being sleeved.

I am supposed to be taking a multi, b12, iron, vit D. Kinda strange on the variations from people. I am just waiting till I hit 3 months out before I start eating pills

Just stick to it. I promise u its worth it.

Do you think the surgery might have gone better if it wouldnt have been a Ban to sleeve revision? I know that I am not clear for months thats why I dont press on it. The slower my transitional phases are the better in helping my stomach heal. Some people get the raw end of a deal and its very unfortunate it happened to you. But I am sure once you fully recover youll feel alot better

Coincidently I made this exact meal tonight. Great minds think alot. Sometimes less is more

White kidney beans extract is used to block carbs. Dont ask me to explain it. I just wonder how that works with regular white kidney beans

The only thing I am handling is fish as in snapper, talapia, salmon, tuna, and swordfish. But it takes me about 3 hours to eat a 4oz steak. If I try and rush the eject button gets pressed. I wish that I could have relish so that I could make a crab salad. Seafoods great but I cant handle shrimp . Well this friday will start week 6 and Imma cook a crawfish ettoufe for my crew. No rice for me just crawfish n sauce will be just fine. Note: Starkist sinsations make a microwaveable fillet of fish thats awesome. I am buying more when I go home. Excellent

I learned yesterday to pay close attn to the expiration dates. When they go bad the turn into a protein pudding. Gross

I am pretty sure they wont push back the surgery if she did the 3 days of clears right before. You havent read the treads on women eating the day before and then trying to throw up and use mag citrate. LoL thats nuts. But their docs still did the surgery. From my collective gathering the whole diet perspective is to get up into ketosis. It helps out post op big time. But post op the last thing your worrying about is food except for popcicles . I was sick the week of my surgery. I got a shot on monday told both of my docs and both said you will be on enough antibiotics to kill nearly anything left that you will have by then. Hmm so yes tell the doc but will it matter 98% will be negative

I saw the stapler used on my in the surgery room. And it was the ethicon echelon along with the refills . The stapler dont cost that much. Much less the staples. The US and Canada hike prices to make their costs seem legit. I asked the doc before hand how many rows of staples and he said 6. 3 on your new pouch and 3 on the old pouch. And I had my surgery done in jerusalem clinic in TJ,Mx for 4500 bucks. And they had over 20 employees. Figure that one out. Oh and my stapler and refills WERE in the factory presealed packs. Tell your doc to shop for his tools else where

If you do the next 3 days of clears I dont see why u would have a problem. But u have to stick to it.

I lost all interest from the start but I did do a good preop diet that broke me from caffeine n carbs. But trust me if your eyes make you over eat the sleeve will just punch you in the gut and you WILL eject it from your system. And trust me lol its very easy to do. Wait till u start eating pureed food or fish like me. I am on week 4 and tuna steaks and guacamole are my staple everyday. One bite to fast and I lose it all. Fyi. Tonight. At 9pm I started a 3oz tuna steak with 2 teaspoons of guacamole. It took me till 10:45pm to eat it all. If I would attempt to go faster hahaha. It would have hit the eject button. Try and cope with head hunger now cause if you turn out like me its gonna become more of a pain in the butt to eat than enjoyment

Wow. 0.o I seriously never had a complex like those. The only thing that comes to mind is me riding my motorcycle. Fat guy on a little bike. Other than that people dont bother me. They just hate on me cause I am a privileged character. Everyone hates on people who got. In my experiences watching people, people tend to trade off. Meaning once you fit in that car, amusement ride, motorbike, hollister clothes you start another complex like my skin sags, im wrinkly, and so on. Its in everyones best interest to keep what I am saying in mind to avoid this from happening to you. Good luck on breaking the cycle

I dont mean to go offtopic but i hit that point a few times on accident. Even in my t tiny 4oz tupperware I still go overboard. But throwing it back up is so quick I think its AWESOME in a wierd waylol. We got those anorexic chics beat by a mile. I have bad gag reflexs so thats what triggers me the most. What gets me is that I used to go out and eat every weekend while I was home and eat everything on my plate. Now since I have been dealing with my new baby stomach I sit there and look at it saying I can eat off this for 3 days. But I do have to admit the restriction is amazing.

Thats exactly what I am saying. You gotta go back to your gp and say its been nice knowing you but you just lost my business. Please transfer all my files to such and such so that I can get proper care.

Why does Almanza have to come into play? 6 other women and I went to Almanza Feb 17th and none of us had any kind of infection yet. I was the 2nd to last patient so the likely hood of unsterile utensiles would of have been greater if the were the case. After care is the greatest concern. You the patient has the greatest control. Take a shower. Try not to wash it vigorously but let the water just hit the chest and run down to gently cleanse the wounds. Wash around the infections with hibiclense. Gently wash off. Get out the shower damp off with a towel. Then spray wound wash flushing over wounds. Damn off with a gauze. Place guaze over infected area lightly to help protect infected area from abrasion from clothes. Its fool proof. Offshore EMT "MPIC" class wasnt good for nothing.

Sounds like you need a new GP. My GP was ecstatic and even more that I had the guts to do it in TJ,Mx. The tripped out when I went in to take out my stitches and I had lost 40lbs. I guess I was fortunate that he had worked with alot of bariactric doctors in the past. Good luck and never let a doc discourage you

Thats our number one safety issue in the gulf of Mexico. Keep it clean, keep it covered

Goodluck. I feel for you the next few days. But remember this. Each day gets better. Slowly but better

Go get some bactrim or some other antibiotic from the doc. Atleast go get some wound wash spray the heck out of it and pat dry with sterile gauze. I am very Fortunate that I work in a place thats cleaned daily. I use wound wash daily just For added protection. I dont have access to a doc or a store , well not for another 13 days anyways. I am 26 days out and I have 2 holes in my stomach. I used some wound closures to keep em closed. If all else would have failed duct tape would have prevailed. In a nutshell I am being over precautious because salt Water increases staff infection. Good luck but get it looked at. I personally wouldnt use neosporine but an antiseptic spray might help
