Need some crunch/chips
GreenTealael replied to KT1981's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There are a wide variety of protein chips, some even carried by this website. A lot of people swear by Kay's brand, I like Quest brand tortilla style also. I like ryvita original crispbread the most with meals occasionally in place of a cracker. but made from only rye flour and water. During Passover, I'll just eat Matzahs sparingly (I need for natural bulking fiber or my digestive tract gets lazy and wants to rely on laxative agents. That's the paradox with not ingesting enough bread style carbs for me) -

Confessional - Lets post our cheats/confessions/etc so others can see that we are all human
GreenTealael replied to Matt Z's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Vacation, birthdays,Bar mitzvahs, So I eat cake! Normally I guess anyone should feel like it's a terrible choice but I don't because: event/special occasion food; cake apparently doesn't cause dumping syndrome in me (but chicken and yogurt can so whatever) and it made me regular without the use of any psyllium or laxative teas. -

Confronting the "mean girls"
GreenTealael replied to DeeberLee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This is a hard one (and take a lot of work I won't lie) but I once saw something like this on Instagram: The best revenge is no revenge at all. Move on and be happy. -

Shop local markets instead of always eating out. Apparently its not that difficult or different. Ask @ummyasmin about markets in Ireland because this is her neck of the woods! -

Harder Than Expected, and Easier Than Expected?
GreenTealael replied to Swanton_Bomb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The desire to experiment with more foods have disappeared. I'm basically eating what I was by month 4, very few additions to the rotation. Either I'm far too lazy for the chore (of complex cooking for myself with substitutions) or busy and would rather eat something really simple. But I'm a Michelin rated chef for anyone else (within reason, permitting I care enough lol) -

Ran across this on Instagram. It's a WLS surgery related meetup. Website on the photo/flyer. Apparently it's pretty big, they just did one in Orlando. Not sure if you knew about it.

Thanks! I didn't know about that, likely because I'm not a WLS page in the gram. I used to follow for a while but i got bored by it 😂

I Believe It Was Worth It
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I absolutely without a doubt never thought I was going to fail. I believe in the idea of self-fulfilling prophecy. I believe you can shape your life with the thoughts you focus mostly towards. I believe when I am on mostly a positive goal oriented path, I open myself to the possibilities that will get me to those goals and unfortunately vice versa. I will not fail myself ever again. Instead, I will rework, revise, rest, refocus, regroup, reaccess and return to the path, moving foward towards whatever goals I set. My hope is for everyone to have a similar belief in their (anticipated) success!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ -
Dose of Reality!!! Please do your Research!

Great post! -
AFib Bae... I gain 2.5 lbs if I don't properly evacuate my bowels for just 1 day and I'm not even being comical. Now if you are constantly trending upward and exceed your intial surgery weight then of course this is a real problem. Please take a strong critical look at your diet and lifestyle to see if there is anything non medication related that's causing gains, and remove it from your life. (While on Prednisone I am supposed to technically gain weight, everyone does because it makes you want to eat uncontrollably. Nah. Armed with this information I refused to be drawn down by it's tendrils. Some things are automated. Some things you have to work harder against but can still win the war) Good luck Soldier 💜

I fear it's wasted on me
GreenTealael replied to GayGirlLivingForHer's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You can do it. Your Mom knew it. Your Dad knows it. We do too. Find the very very very best alternatives you can. If you find yourself reaching for cookies, try to make sure they are protein cookies, when you begin to eat a more regular diet again, try to make sure it's whole foods. Make this work in your favor. Hack your lifestyle. Learn to love things that will get you to your goals faster and easier like sometimes walk up stairs instead of taking the elevator, lettuce wraps sometimes instead of bread. You totally can do it!!! Long term!!! Sustainably!!! We believe in you. Also please take some time to properly grieve, consider counseling/support groups and my condolences to you and your family for your loss. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ -
