Encouraged by My Surgeon - Feeling Happy Today
_Kate_ replied to mylighthouse's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Yayyyyy .... Great news. Keep up the good work !! Kate -
They should give you pain meds via an IV... Don't be a martyr, get topped up every four hours. It will help you sleep too, in between the sipping and walking. The pain is minimal. Focus on the benefits you will have in the future. Good luck for tomorrow and speedy recovery? Kate

When can you eat lettuce or a salad?
_Kate_ replied to healthyliving23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Spinich and watercress is better than lettuce. Nutrition should come before fancing a salad in my humble opinion. At 18 months I am having salads, however after getting my Protein in, I can only manage a few mouthfulls. Maybe the day will come when I can have just a mini salad as a snack, with some nuts. -
I usually order from the starter menu. No one bats an eyelid. On the rare occassion I have had to order from the mains, I usually take whats left home and will have it the next day for lunch. If we are going to a new place, I tend to check the menu before going. The card is a good idea though

Do you feel you didn't research it enough before deciding on the surgery?
-
Never ever regretted it. Not for one second.

I may even buy a bralett, more like a vest than a bra

This is my advice: Get your Protein in Get your fluids in Take all your Vitamins You know what you are doing wrong. Only you can change it. Best of luck.

3 Things I Haven't Done In Years
_Kate_ replied to 2-Liter's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Ah yes, the wonderful 'cutting my own toenails' feeling. I remember it well. I loved the first time i flew and didnt need a seat belt extender. No going through the stick thin beautifully presented air hostess shouting, "seat ** needs an extender". The seat of shame!! Congratulations to both of you!! -
It might be that you are not eating enough. How many calories a day/protein/carbs a day, do you get? Kate
-
Please can you put your surgery date on your profile once you have had it so we can tell if someone is pre or post op. <gets off soapbox> Thanks !

Stupid 5 lbs and nothing else!
_Kate_ replied to Vee16's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Can you explain why you can't keep up with the water and protein? -
Yes but on your profile shown here it says Pre-op. It needs to be added to your main profile stats
-
Good idea !! Lol
-
At week 3 my NUT said to try pasta. That was the last time I spoke to her.
-
Just saw you had posted elsewhere and that you are post op. What did your surgeon/NUT say about bread and pasta? Kate
-
Ask for a plan from your team. They should give you the lowdown on what you are to eat and when. Do you have a date for surgery yet or are you just looking into it? Kate

I had a TT (plus other suff) 5 weeks ago. I had quite a bit of excess skin but with spanx/clothes on it was hard to tell. I still wanted it and even though I am still swollen, I am really happy with the results. Kate

Eating too much is NOT cool
_Kate_ replied to trenth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Horrible feeling isn't it. Try eating until you are satisfied rather than 'full'. Stick to weighing your food and increasing slowly. Don't eat for longer than 20 minutes. Congratulations on the surgery and weight loss !! Kate -
Weight gain 3rd week !!!! Huh
_Kate_ replied to sleevedviolet's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you have been sticking to the plan, it won't be 3llbs of fat, there could be a miriad of reasons. Don't worry, put the scales away and weigh yourself in a week. Keep to what you are doing and keep drinking enough fluids. Kate- 1 reply
