Protein Requirements As We Loose
Joann454 replied to IveGotThePower's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Is this information for people who have had bariatric surgery or for people who have not? -
Hair dye after surgery ?
Joann454 replied to Pooka's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What? Oh man. I've already been to the salon and had highlights for summer. I'll let you know if I die [emoji23] Hope this isn't true! -
Most absurd thing people said to you when you told them you were having WLS?
Joann454 replied to mytime4me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm only two months out and I feel wonderful! I'm exercising and eating healthy and my hunger is so easily satisfied with protein. You might not be thrilled the first few days but it gets so much better and so quickly. I was petrified before surgery. Go in with a positive attitude and before you know it you'll be on the other side and happy to start your new healthy life! Best of luck to you and so keep us posted! -
Glad they found the issue. Do those exercises faithfully! Feel better.

When does hunger return?
Joann454 replied to chamilton0323's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Me too. It's came back right away. I feel hunger and it's fairly intense. Then I eat a small portion and it's gone. -

Then I'm doomed! I'm doing yoga and as bad as I am at it I might as well save my fat pants! [emoji23] -
Is Fitness Pal Premium worth the fee?

Baritastic and LoseIt are my faves. Currently only using Baritastic. I like it a lot! -
Almost three months post opt and on a family vacation
Joann454 replied to kad_82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ate the wrong foods on vacation too (2 months post op). Fortunately the restriction prevented me from overeating. I gained 4 lbs and went right back to logging, exercising, and being vigilant. I lost that 4 lbs plus 2 more in less than a week. Try to just enjoy your vacation. Assuming you don't take many vacations you should be ok!- 1 reply

Foods you no longer enjoy
Joann454 replied to MerryMarie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't found one thing that's bothered me. Admittedly I'm not veering off plan. But the stuff on plan I can eat it all. Chicken thigh 3oz at a time easy. Eggs yep! I guess it's good? Haven't decided. -
Why do people recommend Gas-X post op?
Joann454 replied to Kat410's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Gas-X doesn't help with the CO2 gas, you have to walk for that. If you have actual in your stomach gas it may help. I took it once. -
So many people go alone. Also, when you get your date you could ask if anyone is going when you are. I readnof a couple people who met up there through here. Granted you're both patients but you'd have someone to commiserate with.

Shut your ass! That's exciting!

361 Days Later: My Story
Joann454 replied to OutsideMatchInside's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Do you enjoy these changes? I know change is difficult and to me it sounds exciting to try new hair, earrings, etc but I can see it being disarming too. Congrats. I enjoy your posts. -
Wish they did plastic surgery too!
-
I thought that too but lots of people start speeding up around month three. Maybe because they're more active. I'm a slow loser too. Slower than you. It's ok to have a day but if you wanna succeed just follow your plan. It'll come off.

You have been through so much. So it's healed? I can't wait to hear how you do on liquids. I just feel so bad for you. You're a strong person. xo -
Old clothes? What did you do?
Joann454 replied to AZBlackhawk's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm saving one pair of jeans to do what Jess did. I have two bags filled already to head to Goodwill. I'll drive around with them in my car for a month first cuz that's how I roll [emoji23] -

Low energy/Lethargic
Joann454 replied to speechick1969's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It took me 8 weeks to get my energy back (and then some)! My pain was very manageable but that lack of energy was hard. I'm 53, if you're younger you may bounce back faster. Probably best that you cancelled the festival. Focus on your new life is needed for a few weeks. -
