I did, a few times... Not always but when it happens... Magical

So I cheated a bought 8 gallons of organic ,vegan, free range, kosher, nut free, gluten free, dairy free spring water... Sigh

Hey i think you have my sleeve, I have your bypass... (So called side effects)

😓

Popped that cherry lol Straw life! You'll need be able to Go back now...

The simplest answer is to ask the professionals who created your new digestive system and eating plan.

Butter is better than margarine in that it does not possess partial hydrogenated oils. Some natural styled oil spreads now gave cold presses or expeller pressed oils. After WLS, depending how far out you are, your choice of fat will vary. Consult your team, stick to your plan and always use the least possible, unless its free truffle butter... Then use it all lol

I do not have food addiction issues, so that battle I did not have to fight. I think society pushes us to believe in a one answer approach to solve ALL of our problems immediately and finally (if this blank happens ... then I will finally be happy/perfect - constantly leveling up) instead of a holistic approach (multiple goals adding to a full life- adding to a simmering pot) . So I decide to embark on a holistic approach which involved mental health care (along with other goals/things) as a part of overall my selfcare plan (whether I believed I needed it or not). I figured they ask you to see a psychologist for a reason, so I continued to explore that option. I hope if its available to you, you may explore it as well.

Dates are a dried fruits, if you can have dried fruits at this point on your plan, like raisins, prunes etc, try but consult your NUT or team first. Even just an email. Its important to be certain to have a good working knowledge of what you can and can't generally have at every stage laid out ahead of time. This you should demand from them if they are not providing it. This site is great for socialization but medical advice (nutrition after wls is medical advice don't let anyone tell you otherwise) should come from a physician.

Ask your surgeon.

An even more disturbing realization is that no wls surgery will fix this type of problem.

What is phase 2 for you ? It varies greatly from plan to plan?

Your surgeon (who is also a person) may need time to: sleep in from working the graveyard shift (being the on call physician), pay his/her bills, spend time with his/her family (so the job is actually worth it), perform other surgeries, check on other patients, eat lunch, use the rest room, do a yoga session to deal with a stressful job, have office hours, attend conferences, wait his/her turn for OR time, lecture, meet with his/her boss, or even visit his/her own doctor for a wellness check up. (Just a little perspective) Safe Journey, CONGRATS!!!

I chose the VSG over the RNY because I already had vitamin and mineral deficiency issues that I absolutely without a doubt knew would be exacerbated had I gone with RNY. Other than that all thing were equal for me because I had no previous history of GERD. If GERD or any other issues occur I will convert to DS or RNY. Speed or rate of loss wasn't a factor and the stats are about the same at 5-10yrs out with both surgeries. Ask your Team which they have seen the best outcomes with in their practice and why for a bit more info. Safe Journey!

Call your team and let them know the pain management plan they set for you is currently not working, and you need other options. Safe Journey!

Ask your NUT, they will help you work it into your plan. Safe Journey!

Google (scholar) Telogen Effluvium and WLS ; Telogen Effluvium and hair regrowth for some sound answers. Hope it helps!

The biggest NSV ever is gaining those precious pounds Congrats @abe

Cocaine, everyone's really on coke lol No really exercise does feel good, like energetic sex feels good, you'll see...

Squeaky wheel gets the grease CONGRATS!!!!

Oh that price is not too bad Sounds delicious, enjoy!

They were on my plan since stage 2, I don't eat them often like once every month if that (because everything in moderation, right)I eat legumes more often, I'm only 9 months out but at a year out I can't imagine any vegetables being off limits, especially in moderation. Its not the same as a white potato after all, but consult your NUT to be certain. They do push the protein first then vegetables carbs last motto so by that standard you really can't have a ton.

Your body dictates exactly how much you lose, no way around it. You can *help* by: Hydrating properly Taking vitamins, minerals and fiber Getting adequate protein Exercising a little Following your plan closely Stressing less Safe Journey!!!

Are they on your plan?
