I am 2 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days post op can I eat NUTS?
GreenTealael replied to apositivelife4me's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If you are cleared to try them then no problem, keep in mind some have additives that boost the already high calorie food. They also *may* be a slider food for you, so carefully track the intake of nuts or you'll be wondering why the scale is not moving -

So far calories and such look ok but its hard be sure its not food related unless you post examples (not all calories are create equal)How are you doing on Vitamins? TMI ALERT How are your bowel movements? Are they super regular? If not this can slow down weight loss , which is why your team may add Fiber supplements and laxatives... Check in with your team soon and express your concerns. But let me tell you. I thought I was losing slowly (which I am) and was a little bothered by it a while ago until more recently when I noticed the sag in my skin and just then i became grateful about the pace and that it's not worse, which it would have been if I lost any faster. If you can think of any other info to add please do, we can help you figure out what questions to ask your team. Other than weight loss, how are you feeling? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I’m anxious and have questions
GreenTealael replied to George OG's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I do not have knowledge of the plastics portion of your questions (I have years to go) but tramadol works well for pain management (subjective of course) and I believe its probably being used to not portray or proliferat stronger opioid abuse. When you consult with a group ask these questions or get the pain management plan in writing. -

Tracking app suggestions?
GreenTealael replied to insta_adventurer's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Track with it but don't try to post or submit daily logs and you'll be fine. I still think it's the easiest, I use it everyday and never submit, everything is still saved. I also have baritastic, but they want you to do too much, some days I don't have the energy for it. -
Weightloss and Curves
GreenTealael replied to Boujee_Susie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is tricky , you have to usually wait until you get to your low, it appears, then there is automatic regain of a few pounds (idk why) ,then a few years later more regain of a few pounds (still no clue why) I worry because I want my skin to stay intact. I'm starting to see some loose skin and I'm not a fan -
I was told the same thing initially until I told my NUT my cal count, she then asked me to lower it. Lol

Water related topic

I would not be able to handle 64oz of pure water. I would lose desire quickly, I need fun water too. Lol VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -

I feel scared and ashamed...
GreenTealael replied to sariejack's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was afraid this was my first surgery under anesthesia so I made emergency preparations and even left instructions with my proxy. Then the night before surgery, I calmly binged on my favorite activities, movies , cleaning, etc. I was delirious by my 5am surgery but excited The months before surgery will test your will, sanity and patience. When the time comes you will be more than ready. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -
Do you have protein requirements or calorie limits? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Could be hormonal flux, hanger, mild dehydration (don't count this out) vitamin & mineral imbalance, medication interactions, Sexual frustration, etc. or everyone you know finally deserves a piece of your mind (boldness) Speak with your team, they may have resources to help you before you burn all of your bridges.

Did you stop using keranique at any point? The main ingredient is minoxidil, which if you stop, you lose the regrowth associated with it. If so, visit a dermatologist, and buy less expensive yet same quality generic minoxidil (pharmacy brand)VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167
