WLS conference, what's that all about? Help the newbie out -
Nausea, slow loss, possible regret
Montereygrl replied to laffypatty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are possibly starving your body. I wasn't eat more than 500 calories the first couple weeks and my doctor told me I was starving my body. I had to force myself to eat more calories. Call your NUT or doctor. -
Eating every two hours?
Montereygrl replied to a_jap21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
From once a day eating to feeling like I'm eating/drinking all the time. But my pre op program said, from the time I get up to the time I go to bed I'd be consuming, get used to it. I guess I didn't think she meant literally. -
I can finally say it
Montereygrl replied to makingadjustments's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yay, welcome to the loser bench. 3 weeks post op and have yet to regret one moment. Listen to the doctors and remember it's mostly mental at this stage. You can do it. -

Great job! -
Whos in September? We need some September buddies!
Montereygrl replied to janie2024's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'd call my doc or nut then, vitamins are so important. I have a good friend that had bypass, a couple years into it she stopped taking her vitamins and ended up needing a transfusion. Dr told her that vitamins are for life in people that choose bariatric surgery. God luck. -

Headaches every morning

Same problem, called my doc. And was told my calories were too few. I use myfitnesspal.com and track my intake now. Helps a ton. Good luck. -
Isopure drinks full of protein

Need your opinion ASAP!
Montereygrl replied to Anahi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maybe place a quick call to him and tell him you are struggling again. You really need him to clarify if he thinks that this trip in its self won't cause you problems. -
13 hours to GO
Montereygrl replied to GlutenFreeSingleMom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck with your surgery. Yes tell your doctor if you are having pain pre surgery, you should never hide information from your dr. -

Did your doctor physically check you? I would hope that he would say its too soon if that is th case. I'm three weeks post surgery Tues. I get weak and tired easily, I'm still eating only puréed food and scrambled eggs. are you going to a country where you feel comfortable seeking medical attention if needed? I think that your doctor is the best qualified to help you make the final choice though. -
Today is my 3rd day after the sleeve and cant get not even 50g of protein! Help!
Montereygrl replied to AdrianaNaji's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like the fruit punch and grape isoprene, they have smaller 6 oz bottles, try those if you can find them. Try alternating water, protein, water, protein. -
As promised, second walk of the day done. Needed to do something to walk off the frustration of those last two minutes of play....I love my Cowboys but dang I get frustrated.

Just putting it out there, so 'dirty' little secrets may see the light of day!
Montereygrl replied to Madam Reverie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
So throwing this out there for you veteran Sleevers, have any of you tried the cauliflower/cheese pizza crust? I'm looking forward to when I can actually chew my food. Lol -
Got my first 20 minute walk in between the morning game and my beloved Cowboys game. I'm sure I will get more exercise in yelling and throwing my arms up durning the game.

I was cleared to do walking, treadmill walk, elliptical machine and stationary bike and regular bike on gentle rides. I'm joust curious how soon were others back to the gym. ? And what kind of activity level were you at. As soon as I drop some more weight I'm going to start to joke, with long term goal, half marathon next year. Short term, 5k Thanksgiving fun run walk. And amaybe a 10k for Run for the new year.

Day 4 and lots of Nausea
Montereygrl replied to pink303's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Headache for me was caused by too few calories post surgery. I've heard a lot of people say alcohol pads under your nose helps with nausea. For me, I usually grab a SF Popsicle and it helps me, -

I know a couple people who ended up with stricture. I'd call my doc just to make sure. Also, if you had a hernia repair, it could just be some post ops swelling and your body telling you to sip slower.

For me by far is Quest bar, but I haven't had any sine before surgery. Quest will send you a free two pack sample if you go to their web page and contact us section. Tell them you are having surgery.
