  1. I snack all the time. I snack on healthy things that are low calorie
  2. You're only one week out take it easy. You will feel better and will be happy you had the surgery
  3. 1 can of tuna 1/2 a diced avocado 1 diced hard boiled egg 1 tablespoon capers 2 tablespoons diced red onion 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice Mix everything together and serve in a hollowed out half of a tomato
  4. There are no side effects from general anesthesia. They wheel you into the operating room, you slide over onto the table then they give you the good stuff. For me it was a gas they put a mask on me and after a couple of breaths the next thing i knew i was waking up in recovery
  5. Because people don't understand. Most people still think surgery is a cheat or an "easy" way out. I'm also going to assume that whomever told you that probably never struggled with their weight
  6. I regret not having surgery sooner
  7. I plan on it. Insurance has a 6 month waiting period....going to give it a good solid honest try and see how I am at the end of the 6 nonths.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App You need to be honest with yourself. Do you really think you can keep it off? Loosing the weight isn't the hardest part its keepi g it off long term. Based on your past experiences with dieting do you think you will be able to keep it off if you don't have surgery?
  8. When i lost 50lbs pre op i had a brief thought...but if i could do it without surgery then i wouldn't have been at the point of needing surgery. Obviously I COULDN'T do it without surgery When i lost 50lbs pre op i had a brief thought...but if i could do it without surgery then i wouldn't have been at the point of needing surgery.

  9. From what I've seen here 99.9% of posters are beyond happy with their sleeve. For me i am very happy with my sleeve. Do You have any specific questions? I can tell you about my experience but keep in mind that everyone's experiences are different.
  10. I was told in the beginning to only take chewables and NOT gummies. If you're not sure about ANYTHING talk to your surgeon or nutritionist first since every doctor gives different instructions
  11. I go out often also and I'll usually just order an appetiser or some restaurants have a small plates menu. In my experience people don't notice how little you're eating just as long as you order something. Of course if someone does notice you can say that you're trying to eat less which is not a lie
  12. Your insides are still swollen so your pouch is still teeny. 6/7 months post op all the swelling should be down and you wil see that you can eat a little more. For me it depends on thw food. Steak i can have a few bites of. Chicken a little more. Sashimi i can eat the most of, just over half of a typical sashimi plate at a restaurant

  14. Every insurance has their own requirements. Mine only required that i not gain any weight. But i lost 50lbs pre op anyway
  15. I thought they were horrible
  16. After 6 or 7 months post op all the swelling has gone down so you can eat a little more but that doesn't mean it stretched. With the sleeve they remove the elastic part of the stomach so it can't stretch
  17. Just head hunger. Bit that empty stomach feeling nope
  18. It's done to test for leaks. Fornme they put me on an xray table and gave me some milky stuff to drink.
  19. I have coffee with regular sugar every day....sometimes more than one cup
  20. I hope it is Aaron because I'm not that attached to him...or Rosita but I doubt its a woman
  21. Can you imagine the gag order they had to sign
