WLS conference, what's that all about? Help the newbie out

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.

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.

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!

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.

Have you tried blending them in you food

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
