Well what tastes good is a matter of opinion. I can't stand Quest bars. I think they taste like cardboard. I like Pure Protein bars a lot

A good food is canned tuna. High in Protein and soft. You can dress it up so many ways. Ground beef can be good too

The part that stretches is supposed to be removed so if it's done correctly it won't stretch

The whole point of surgery IS so that you will be satisfied with just one egg Then why do they put TWELVE in the carton!?!?!??!! So you can be satisfied 12 times Oh!! That sounds fantastically dirty!! Excuse me while i go buy some eggs

Meaning I either feel like I am not eating enough and my body goes into starvation mode and hoards everything or I eat to much and that is why I am not losing.... Well what does it say in the guidelines you were given? What was the amount they told you to eat

I would say neither. Just use the gown they give you. They will be checking your incisions and other things so it will be easier. But do bring some soft comfy clothes to go home in

I dont understand if you think you are eating too much or noy enough But ANY loss is good. Keep going you are doing well

Is it possible your sugeon messed up? Of course it's possible they are only human, mistakes can happen. Is it likely? Probably not. I can definately understand some of the outrage people are having in this post. Most of us have struggled with diet and weight loss and with surgery are trying to make lifelong changes to the way we eat and approach food. Putting a huge piece of meat pn your plate is an act that should not be part of the new healthy lifestyle we are all trying to live. But yes if you were able to eat that much it could mean something is off. From my experience if I eat one bite more than I should I will throw up

You could be equally successful with the sleeve. I have lost 175 lbs and still loosing

Do you mean you need to loose 125 or you want your weight to be 125? Your goal will depend on a lot of things like your starting weight, your height and others.

That's great congrats. If you have concerns about your rate of loss disciss that with your doctor. They will know what is right according to your individiual plan

There is a board on this site specifically about post op pregnancy. There might be some posts there about this. I have seen people say that after loosing weight they were able to get pregnant. Actually my team advised me to get extra birth control post op because they say people tend to become more fertile soon after surgery

If you have surgery in December you will probably feel fine for the cruise in January. But you will probably still be on some form of a sodt diet so dealing with food there might be tricky

Yes see if you can get the test done to see how large your sleeve really is. But if yiu could eat that much something seems off

He should not accuse you of stretching because you can't stretch your sleeve

I am a sci fi girl. I'm trying to read more and meet new people so I joined a bookclub through meetup

I didn't really need help. Sudden movements hurt a little and bending over was a big no. I did request my husband to be in the bathroom while I showered for the first time because I was weak and a little afraid I would get dizzy and fall but I was fine

You definately don't want to do too much too fast right after surgery. You are still healing. Also you are all swollen inside so your sleeve is extra small right now.

Wow 3 days post op i was barely able to get an 8oz protein shake in over the course of the whole day

I like my tuna on a cucumber slice or in a hollowed out tomato

one of my favorite snacks is rolling up some deli meat and cheese around a pickle spear. I don't really worry about the sodium because I'm only eating much of it

It all depends on how much weight you have to lose. If you are in the higher weight ranges, the RNY might be better. The Sleeve is a bit easier but then it's easier to cheat which could cause you from losing all the weight you need to lose. I had the Sleeve 2 1/2 years ago and I love it. I still have restriction and it's just so easy. The bad thing is that I have horrible gastric reflux and meds are not helping. I am scheduled for a revision to a RNY bypass in August. They are both tools, they both work but the RNY is malabsorbtive, which could cause dumping and there is the issue of taking Vitamins the rest of my life. Ah well.... Good luck to you. it's not easier to cheat...if your mind is set on cheating you will cheat regardless of the surgery.

If she did have surgery it might help shed some of the negative stigma...if she showed the struggles and how surgery is not "cheating"
