my surgeon says no salad (lettuce) for 6 months

Eating has become a survival necessity. I'm 5 weeks post op and am almost 1/2 way to my goal counting the pre-op loss. Until I reach my goal, I eat because I have to take in the protein. Not because I like to eat. Big change from before. The food still tastes good but there so little of it I ofter wonder how I am surviving. I must be. My nut and doctor are pleased. My diabetes is gone. My blood pressure is gone. My sleep apnea is reduced. I haven't tried had any alcohol and might try a wine in a few weeks. I don't miss it and I was a daily drinker. I do a lot of crock pot meals. Moist chicken, fish, hamburger, hummus, tuna fish. No steaks (beef) yet.

I was on metformin (500 mg twice a day). My diabetes disappeared 1 day after surgery. Cool.

Think of soda a poison. Come to terms with it and get over it.

I lost 20 lbs pre-op and 30 post-op. I'm just about 5 weeks out. I was 100 lbs overweight going in. I did this to lose weight but mostly in improve my medical condtions. My diabetes disappeared in the hospital. My sleep apnea is slowing disappearing. My blood pressure meds have been cut by 2/3.

I have sleep apnea and have been using a CPAP for 13 years. As I was getting ready for my surgery I was told to bring it with me and they would use it if necessary. When I saw the pulmonary doctor for my preliminary testing, she said it could take a year of weight loss before I lost the need for the CPAP,

Mine is tomorrow, too. All kind of thought running through my head but surprisingly they are all positive. Stay in the zone.
