  1. Btw random weight watchers let's u eat lots of popcorn...lol
  2. Popcorn isn't bad for you, it's what u put on it that's bad. Air popped is best and you can microwave popcorn kernels in a folded paper bag for around five minutes without butter and put like lemon pepper or salt alternative on it or something. .. one bag of microwave popcorn isn't going to hurt you prior to surgery since ur on regular food is my humble opinion
  3. I like premier protein as well the chocolate is my favorite. I don't like the vanilla personally. The container is closable too so it can be re used it saved I mean and it's good for you with 30 grams of protein 5 carbs and 1 gram of sugar I believe.
  4. Ohhj my okay so blender better than unmagic bullet lol
  5. Oh Interesting, I misunderstood the pyloric valve operation or the survival nurse have us incorrect info grrrr
  6. Might be blood sugar to low as well....I think u should call the Dr as well as the previous poster said
  7. You look awesome, what a inspiration Which surgery did you have? Keep going!!
  8. It can be horrible. I have had it so bad up my thoat, into my jaw that I could barely talk the pain,was so bad. Also, 3 times now in while I was sleeping, i was woke up to not being able to breath. The acid was choking me. I quickly shot out of bed and slowly sipped Water. It was a very scary experience. Then there is silent reflux, but that is,a whole other story. Hoping Rny eliminates the gerd. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App Oh I do know it can be horrific..I was just sharing my mom's side of it
  9. It drives me crazy how many conflicting things we hear from our healthcare ppl and so on
  10. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I want a magic bullet but just real poor so it's rough enough buying Protein drinks lol
  11. Just make sure u have ur documents I'm place! Answer only what's asked. I hate crossing the border but with a guide you should be fine. I live in San Diego and I rarely go Mexico bc it's so much trouble but when I go, I always go with friends
  12. . most of the time reflux makes you regurgitate but it can also make u belch and gurgle. My mom has it and she belches and gurgles mostly. Sometimes burning but rarely does she reflux all the way into the throat
  13. Exercise as much as possible...walk walk walk...eat protein and stay as low carb as possible. I loved south beach diet but of course a fail on the long term. The breakfast fritatas and omelettes are great. You can also try replacing one meal with premiere protein...I only suggest that one bc it has 30grams if protein...it's also what my NUT had me do.
  14. Yes I read and heard if u have it pre existing ur pretty much doomed to get it after with either surgery. I was supposed to get roux en y originally However I have a ton of medical problems plus on psych meds for bipolar and PTSD. So surgeon said adjustment of psych meds, chronic pain meds and those like me who sometimes need corticosteroids can't get rny bc malabsorption screws it all up with meds so don't know if you fall in any of those categories like me but it's something else to consider
  15. I understand what ur saying but I think it depends on the protein bar. Some are actually healthy but you have to read carefully just like protein drinks....we can't just choose any one out there....
  16. I was wondering about the Premier Protein. Bars..I figured since they do the drinks they ought to do the bars right....
  17. Images added to a gallery album owned by Butterflywarrior in Before and After Gastric Sleeve Photos
    Butterflywarrior, a weight loss surgery photo album by Butterflywarrior on BariatricPal. 2 photos in Before and After Gastric Sleeve Photos.
  18. i had wondered if iit was ur period but i didnt write it lol... blah ode to joy
  19. @@hectorlopez323 do ur research..im surprised ar yout surgeon... my understanding is that you can get gerd with either surgery but ur actually less likely to get it with the sleeve because you keep your pyloric valve in the stomach.... trhe surgical nurse at our program said this at the last support group but I have also read it.... omeprozole is prilosec
  20. I haven't been sleeved yet but I heard about this gurgling being common after surgery...sometimes it's needing to chew more through and other times it's the stomach trying to readjust
  21. I haven't started my pre op diet yet however I went through a small grieving period for food but than I thought of all of the positive things I'm doing for my health and that helped tremendously
  22. I've been told once your weight loss normalizes, the hair goes back to normal I've also heard keeping up on Protein as the previous poster said can really help prevent hair loss I've read mixed reviews about Biotin
  23. The pain pill will make constipation worse btw.... maybe the new food was to much and you need to back up again? I think you can take Tylenol or acetaminophen for pain as it's not a nsaid and wont clog you up
