Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
GreenTealael replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Mandated 12 hr dry fasting for routine testing and I'm already so thirsty. Is there such a thing as head thirst? Lol Checking out my gallbladder in the AM just to prove whether or not I am a sleeve unicorn (dumping syndrome) or a regular @$$ lol. How is everyone else doing? -
I am a chronic abuser of ... both! 😂

Had this happened to me, I would have called my children to my bedside, to give them their blessings... I'm that dramatic too lol

Things in School I thought I WOULD NEVER use!
GreenTealael replied to Ed_NW's topic in Rants & Raves
My children can write in cursive, One day my progeny proudly lined up to display that they can sign my name Just. Like. Me. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 -
I asked this question in website assistance a while back. Liking original content or responses (all activities I believe) increases scores that can directly increases rewards points to the BP Store. I make it a point to like everything (relevant) to pay forward the points to everyone. I even made a post about it forever ago. But yes to the heart of the rant: This site can be a mixed bag, but doesn't have to stay that way. Before I became super active, I called out bullying and some disagreed it was occurring. (I will leave it up to everyone to decide what they personally think) so I decided instead of leaving (like I wanted) I would try to make a haven in some spaces. Fun threads, extra positivity when possible, etc... Some balance. I will not engage in most debates these days because it's a fruitless task for me and I really just want everyone to be successful.

For those who had temporary "buyers remorse"
GreenTealael replied to Rexcom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I did not, I won't lie. BUT Sometimes when dumping syndrome happens I do start looking for my receipts 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Word of encouragement: "If wishes were horses we'd all be eating steak..." -Jayne -

Hunger feelings/confusion after surgery
GreenTealael replied to GabrielleSimone's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Everyone will feel differently. You may not get the full sensation until you are overfilled and that's no fun. It was suggested to me because I never got the signal fullness either early on that if there is a disconnect between the stomach and brain satisfied feeling, use portion control in it's place as a back up (1/8 cup, 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup , etc) Contact your team for more details! -
Suggest not talking about ANY surgical related matters until the day before surgery. Try to focus on other parts of life. This can be so all consuming at times, might as well focus heavily on it only when it actually happens. Try to focus on her exclusively for a bit. DEFLECT What does she have going on? Thinking about trying Yoga or going back to school, etc. Safe Journey!

Insurance not covering bariatric surgeries
GreenTealael replied to Sonyawon's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Huh....you think they would want happy healthy employees. I bet their risk management consultants gave them some relevant data like "78% of the employees who have the procedures leave less than 1 year after"... -
OMG how could I forget about the time I tried to pass out in Paris because I thought I could eat whatever I wanted with a sleeve. Not. Dumping Syndrome in French subtitles. Pas Bon...

Pouch Reset/Back to Liquids?
GreenTealael replied to redhead_che's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sure, I used to reset monthly to clear out things that snuck back in, jumpstart a stall or ease constipation... Only for a few days max but my team was always on board with my plans. Any direction from yours? -
