Lotions, Oils, etc. to do ANYTHING we can to lessen impact of rapid weight loss
GreenTealael replied to KarenLR75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used a topical Rx retinoid for my face, plenty of protein, healthy fats and hydration in my duet, olive/coconut oil in my body for softer luminous skin (doesnt help with sagging sorry), losing slower than most and mild weight training to preserve/improve muscle tone. As always ... YMMV Good Luck π -

Pre op diet and cheating
GreenTealael replied to brandimichellexo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was recently revised from VSG to RNY at my goal weight. So when the surgeon said I needed to do a pre op diet I was pretty resistant and questioned why constantly. He said they place everyone on the preop. The reason he gave was to shrink the liver by ridding it from excess fat making it easier to mobilize and more pliable so it doesn't crack/tear/break. I was confused: how do you break a liver? He likened a fatty live to a marblized piece of beef and the fat makes it stiff/vunerable during retraction. It will be handled alot during surgery. I begrudgingly followed my 2 week diet (except 1 day) because i didn't want any extra issues Good Luck with the rest of your preop π -

I need to gain weight
GreenTealael replied to shannonseymour12211968's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Protein shakes blended with banana, nuts, nut butters, oats and full fat milk/yogurt. Also protein bars that are high calorie. Good Luck π
