Hi! Wait a couple of weeks and see what your progress is like. The if surgeon performed the malabsorption part of the surgery, you will lose weight, how much is the variable so you may just have to work a little harder but you still have a tool to assist you ππππππππππππππππππππ The things you may have to concentrate on now is portion control and dietary/lifestyle changes. Many people (after the very intial stages) STILL have to focus on this anyway. ββββββββββββββββββββ You didn't lose much of an advantage. You may have gained the advantage of skipping all the ill effects of changing the stomach size ( nausea, vomiting, tightness, etc.) And advance straight into a more veteran style (years out when the restriction is relaxed to the point of nearly normal portions) πππππππππππππππππππππ Make sure the nutritionist/dieticians you see craft and tailor a plan just for you. Please let us know how everything goes as this will help others p.s. I can still drink at a normal rate like prior to both of my surgeries, so youre not alone πCONGRATULATIONS ON A SAFE SURGERYπ

gastric sleeve consult yesterday
GreenTealael replied to luvpenguins's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I would suggest making dietary changes prior to surgery so its not a big shock to your system/lifestyle. Google Telogen Effluvium for more info on hairloss -
Damn. Am I the only one that DGAF? I will wear whatever I want, whenever without care as to how my loose skin, arms, etc *might* look to others I'm super satisfied with my clothed body these days and buy a size I know I can fit. Summer is gonna get the body I give it

Soooo true. My looser clothing (dresses) makes me look 20lbs heavier if i don't cinch at the waist with a belt

Iβm having surgery tomorrow and I just want to know...
GreenTealael replied to 12345shs16's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
πCONGRATULATIONSπ Try to focus on the immediate days ahead- recovery. Life will get back to normal fairly quickly and then you can decide what path you want to take with your permanent lifestyle. The effectiveness of this surgery will all be up to you alone. Not going to lie after surgery I thought I would NEVER eat certain things again (because I couldn't or just wouldn't) .It was ambitious & unrealistic, for me. I worked regular and substitute foods into my lifestyle... Often choosing the sub over the traditional version because the differences in tastes weren't noticeable but the effects in my weightloss was (fave alternatives: burgers/sandwiches without bread, wrapped in lettuce instead; sugar substitutes, General Tso tofu, light icecream, CAULIFLOWER PIZZA π, etc) I try to consistently make the better choice, indulge sometimes and remain mindful about the bigger picture. Socializing around food is ok but there are so many other things to do. Influence your friends to try new things. -
