Anyone trying Jamaican black Castor oil on their temple area for added protection of follicles , hot oil treatments, co washing only, washing and manipulating less? These are things done within the AA community to mitigate the effects of traction alopecia VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

This is for the day correct? Do you drink just water after / between or other things like tea?VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Eventually you can drink larger volumes over longer or shorter periods of time, I'm 8 months post op, I can drink 16 oz in 30 mins casually or 10 mins if I'm thirsty VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Damn i thought i replied but it never up loaded...https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/protein-for-vegans-vegetariansPea protein, hemp hearts, tofu, chia, etc. Not single source. Its going to cost you calorically but it can be done. Usually you have to plan very well and make your own foods. Example if you make falafel you can add ground hemp hearts, chia seeds, flax, pea protein, spices,etc. Stir fry mushrooms with fluffed buckwheat and quinoa. Eat with a hummus spread. You will work harder (especially if you don't like legumes) but its possible. I have come to the very real conclusion that my time with animal protein is almost over, but I'm interested in keto, I stopped by to see if I could do it for a short burst then try to vegetarian/vegan keto for a burst to break through anticipated plateaus VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

A lot of us can't rely on meat for protein either , I can easily easily easily eat my way to protein with other sources besides meat and dairy. I'm on no ones side here, I also came for info. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Thank you ! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

It is common, but ask if you can get a head start and start shrinking your liver ahead of time. If you follow the less rigorous preop diet (shake for meals 1&2, protein vegetables meal 3) for longer ahead of surgery, you can get a running start instead if being miserable all at once, My surgeon did not require preop diet, my liver was fine, he was comfortable either way but I put myself in one anyway. Just for like a week I think. As always consult your physician first. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

You've been doing this version of Keto since 2013? Has it helped you lose or maintain, or was it to stabilize health issues? Was it hard to maintain for years at a time? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I love the idea of a fecal transplant... But only for married people. Imagine the vows. My $h!t will become your $h!t / Your $h!t will forever and always be my $h!t Lol VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Interesting article I think people forget that the sleeve is part 1 of 2 (DS - the most malabsorptive surgery possible) and the efficacy was so widespread in superobese patients part 2 was never needed. I decided to go with the sleeve because I could just convert to DS later (but I believed it should not be necessary unless GERD - but I have no history, we'll see in 5 yrs)) VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

We kind of hijacked your thread. Did you receive any clarity? You will usually have to mention that you've had wls in the ER, but your PCP will already know and prescribe accordingly. Mostly non slow release until the greenlight from bariatrics. Asking your team about things often and ahead of time will help VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Interesting!!! You lucky to have your daughters help, imagine those who have to go at it alone it dont even realize they need help. Oh yes! Every time I'm put on a new med Er it's chewed, I research it myself...I like to be in the loop, apparently its about control and OCD... but I'm not complaining VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Did you even feel the shot over the euphoria? CONGRATS Small leg Sue VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Perhaps, I never made it to support group, could not find out. I think they know the basics, absorption rates, interactions, etc. There's enough data , so they know what to avoid based on case study. I frequent med journals...but with any emerging technology you can't know everything The meds are adjusted months in advance to mitigate the effect of the change especially psych meds or slow release which need to be changed to regular...

Amazing! Thanks! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Very hard to tell what is used in fair food and how clean it is, it may just be a cleanliness issue or the oil used for the funnel cakes are not going to sit well with you I mm the future. Go easy for a while this may be your dumping syndrome, even sleevers can dump... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Yes, I boiled eggs then just ate the whites, eventually moved to the whole egg . this is still the only way I can really eat eggs 8 months later with no issues. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

OMG YASSSSSS Queen Adjust your crown you will get thereVSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Idk, maybe after doing it for a while you wouldn't even care anymore, but I've never done ketoI assume immediately after surgery would be he easiest transition if you have no hunger. I'm too far gone. Would you like to give it the old scientific method and try it with me? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Well congrats all around VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I *could* do this by eating avocados and chicken salad (just those two things basically) but it wouldn't be feasible for long because it would get old in a couple of months VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

When you leave it will be a disservice to the newbies that have no clue about the possibility of following the Mayo clinic diet, the stats on VSG outcomes, etc. that you are so passionate about. I challenge you about fitting in. Now its about giving back the support to others... You are leaving a void. As all VETS do when they just leave VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I'm going to go there because it needs to be said, it was a low blow to bring up someone's health problems to sway an argument in your favor. It wasn't even necessary. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I have been on multiple threads with them but the OP and other people may still want info... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167
