    Capt Derel got a reaction from mchllshrms in No Pre Op Diet?   
    I have saw a few posts that said the same thing. I have visited a few boards and the general consensus says to do atleast a 7 day liquid diet and clears 24 hours leading up to surgery. Why? It shrinks the fatty tissue in the liver plus no solids in your stomach make it easier for the stomach to heal, less gas after from residual decomposition, and it allows your stomach to focus on healing rather than multitasking.
    Thats pretty much the just of it all.
    Good luck

    Capt Derel got a reaction from wannaBthinsoon in How Does The Stomach Heal Together From Vsg Surgery? Can Anyone Tell Me?   
    Thats why I am going to Mexico. When mexicans are born they automatically get a jack of all trades card. They believe in Duct tape and super glue.
    I would like to know the answer myself. I can see the stomach liners bonding up to 1/4" max only due to the scar tissue from the staple holes.
    I am asking for JBWeld

    Seafood is the most easily digested meats. Plus you get ur omegas as a bonus. I just hope that I can still eat crawfish after my surgery

    Good luck and you can do it. My stomach still works for sure and I am over a year out. Stretching stomach? Nah thats a myth. Why so? Because they figure out which foods they can handle easier and stick to that which allows more intake which causes stability. Think about that and you will notice it in your diet.
    I notice it in mine. Taco salad shells, hawaiian punch. When I switch back to losing I simply just stop both of those and it starts back losing again.

    I had a NSV the other day. I walked up in Acadamy Sports and bought me 3 under armour shirts and 3 pairs of shorts. All size medium. I didnt even try it on or anything. I get home and guess what that medium shirt is to big.
    Thats a big NSV to me especially the last time I was in a medium was when I was in the 4th grade.
    I tried on My sons youth large shorts. They fit. A little snug like some come and get mes but they fit right in the waist. Thats sad smh...

    Sounds like something your doing is wrong babe. Relook at your situation and revamp it to work for you. I hate to be the carb nazi but when all else fails cut the carbs and it will fall. I use carbs to maintain. I promise

    I do it by eating alot of supreme Protein bars and strictly Protein shakes or meats like spaghetti meatballs with no spaghetti lol. For me I notice that anything over 160 grams carbs I maintain. At 100 grams I lose. It also depends on your exercise routines on the allowances. I dont do cardio because of my unique situation working on a boat with limited space.
    Hope it helps.
    Theres also cookbook sites like linda lo carb meals and others as such. Goodluck and at the lower body weight ranges the weight comes off slow

    You just had your surgery wtf. Did he expect it to just be gone over night? It took time to get that big so its going to take time to lose it. You should only take pics at intervals of 3 months. Why because you will see the dramatic difference.
    I swear its our spouses that have the biggest envy issues

    And if you are not absolutely tracking every morsel that goes into your mouth, start now. It is so easy to let intake get out of control, totally unnoticed, if you don't track. And measure your portions.
    You know how to do this. Just start over with the basics.

    Taco salads at 4 months for me and now its a 4x a week thing for lunch when I am home. A girl "whomever" and I usually go and split one. She eats 75% and I eat 1/4. Perfect size for both of us. Thats just me though.
