Since you are tracking everything you should be able to pinpoint when the weight gain began and what you were eating/doing when it happened. Sometimes things change once we transition from losing to maintenance and also when other life events happen I personally would use the information that I had been compiling to reverse engineer the problem. Hope you can find a solution soon 💙

Post OP regrets
GreenTealael replied to bookworm88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
IT IS HARD, BUT DON'T LOSE PERSPECTIVE the reasons why you went through all of the preop testing- that wasn't easy, the liquid diet- no cake walk there, the months of debating whether or not you should, who to tell, how long to take off work, how to prepare your family and friends in the worst case scenario, etc.- all very tough and you survived it all. Don't give up now. ❤ -

Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
GreenTealael replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
24hr dry fast nearly completed. Then I'll break it with tea and water and head back into another 12hr dry fast for (medical purposes). It always amazes me that the less you eat the less you want to eat with fasting. Good luck to everyone doing IF & EF 💖 -

Well everyone got to the obvious questions but why did that fruit salad cost 16.95? Foreign (from North America)? -
Have your GERD and attempts to control it well documented by your surgeon. They will likely take you on as a GERD patient instead of a WLS patient ,unless you have significant regain or insignificant losses.

Day 1 - I'm in SO MUCH PAIN - advice please
GreenTealael replied to JanJan19's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Fantastic 💙 -
Are you eating a lot but not drinking much fluids (dehydration)? Food addiction is something that mental heath specialist can help you manage. Check in with your team to see what ideas and support they can offer you.

question for everyone who had gastric sleeve
GreenTealael replied to katprincess's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Your mom may be legitimately hungry as some people dont feel satified on the early stages of the diet. Things change however with firm/dense protein intake. Also some people still want to eat solely for the joy or comfort of it, so that may be a factor as well. Reflux (which may mimic hunger pains) should be considered and meds usually given early post op to help. Is she taking anything? Also a drastic change in lifestyle and other medications entering and leaving the system can affect sleep and mood as well. Start or stop anything recently? Also a reasonable amount of time to completely heal and return to normal is important. Some people don't bounce back quickly. Patience is important but be aware of sudden declines as people should get better with time. When you say she drinks a lot of water (but cannot urinate) i think in excess of the recommended 64 oz daily. Is this what you mean as well? Is there a way for you to track exact amounts (good info for doctors to have) ? Perhaps it's time to split up her questions to different doctors besides her bariatric surgeon. They only handle the one thing. Perhaps speak with the Primary to see if there is a need for a visit to the Urologist and also mood/mental health referrals for a Therapist. If I was someone going through this I would ultimately just want to feel completely supported. Try to be patient and tolerant, let her journey be self guided but advocate for her when she needs you to. Good luck💖 -
🙌 Amazing rockstars 🙌 I will only eat gelato on vacay if i want to test my boundaries again 😂 But ive had a lot of Halo Top post surgery (testing all the flavors 😂) and i must say they have a good scam going 😂😂 no way those flavors are low calorie. But ive converted a few people to eat this not regular hehehe
