Going Vegan... Is It Possible?
GreenTealael replied to KennyM's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
This. Is. All. We. Have 😅 I'm joking of course. I hope you find the answers you need. I was vegetarian for 10yrs and vegan for 1 yr prior to WLS. I thought I would be able to easily slip back in but could not during the losing phase because it was time consuming to pair the protein sources properly. Years out it may be much easier however you may see some gains if you reintroduce higher carb items you gave up for a while. But the trade off is presumed optimized health (you'll have to test it out and see for yourself. Be flexible with your expectation as a DS person) My tips: +Pre packaged vegan cuisine is very expensive and essentially the junk food you want to rarely eat. Use as meal starters (like vegan sausage etc) +Avoid as much soy as you can as a male so you don't introduce high levels of plant estrogen hormones. If you must eat verified organic +Pair those proteins properly - can not say that enough. +Make as much as you can from scratch, meal prep especially stews and soups +Do not become a rastapastaterian 😅 +Learn to love lentils, legumes, chia, mushrooms and leafy greens What works mostly for me now is flexitarian (occasional animal protein) or ovo lacto pescaterian (my favorite version very easy to sustain) lifestyle. In the end veganism was unsustainable for me especially the restrictions about honey (I used it in skincare & first aid 😔) -

Shorter menstrual cycles, lighter flow, Endometriosis, constipation, fertility
GreenTealael replied to LondonSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, I find when I'm stuck it helps to use stool softeners along with traditional laxatives and lots of hydration directly after. This tends to expedite bowel movements but absolutely No Food for a while surrounding the occasion or you will slow the process down with digestion. Sadly no input on the menstrual cycle situation but good luck ❤ -
Monolithic yet insightful !

This waist needs an intervention 😅 Thank you! This was actually bedclothes 😅 LOL I hate that when I actually try to look good, it's never as effortless as when I roll out of bed (or fall off the couch) running late to a doctors appointment 😔 BUT if I know I might see the Burgundian, 12 step Korean skincare routine & couture 😜

Abdominal pain...feeling stupid.
GreenTealael replied to mirmir's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If your symptoms persists, or you are really worried call your Team in the morning. Usually the recommendation is not to lift more that 5-10lbs for quite a while. Also vomiting can engage your core which is still healing that soon from surgery. Good Luck 💚 -
🏆 You're doing great 🏆
