I wonder if its culturally a NY thing? (Katz deli pictured) If you try it, have it sliced very thin and by preference I always cook and eat it hot -
For those who have lost 100+ pounds
GreenTealael replied to lbugher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I didn't experience pain while overweight. None that i can remember. However the amount of things I can casually do now is astounding. I run (when needed) and rarely lose my breath, walk endlessly without a need for breaks, jumped rope, go up & down stairs like its nothing, any seat on a flight will do, random hiking trips, etc (but I gave up formal exercise - health reasons π) Good Luck π -
Sleeve complications possible revision to bypass
GreenTealael replied to Ttyo's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I develop stricture and torsion of the stomach also. I didn't fancy the idea of going in for a dilatation every 6 weeks. So i didn't even think of it as a viable option, nor did I let anyone persuade me into "giving it a try". Nah. I chose conversion and 1 week later had it done. Conversion to RNY resolved the issues completely. I was given lovanox shots immediately after surgery so not sure why you have to stop them. Good Luck π -

Yes it is! I always said I knew I was never going to back out of surgery after the barium swallow test because it was so terrible for me If I could endure and complete that, everything else would be easy as pie π

could you eat and drink normal after bypass revision
GreenTealael replied to bikerchick519's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Nearly the same as with my VSG, but every case will be different because specific revision techniques will vary surgeon to surgeon. -

Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
GreenTealael replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Fats. Fat has more cal per gram than both protein and carbs (9 vs 4) And for most fat doesn't trigger cravings, instead suppressing hunger which is why Keto is such a booming lifestyle. Honestly each macro nutrient has it's merits and purpose for optimal health which is why food fit for human consumption contain them. I think water & alcohol are the exceptions (real geniuses correct me if I'm wrong β€) As you move towards maintenance more research is warranted to decide what your long-term lifestyle will look like. Here's a research journal to consider (oh and I'm sure you'll find plenty on either side of the argument) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/14672862/ -
