Should We Just "Accept Our Best Shot" and Not Be Bothered If We Don't Make Goal?
GreenTealael replied to FluffyChix's topic in Rants & Raves
Hmmm now I wonder what my goal/maintenance weight actually is? HW 270 SW 238 CW 182 VSG 11/7 [emoji146][emoji146][emoji146] -
In the state I have to follow up with both on a regular basis. Usually your primary has to be on board and sign off in order for surgery to happen. I hear alot of follow up for medical tourism is done electronically then mostly handled by your primary. So it would still be a good idea to let them know on advance What do you mean trouble being accepted? Insurance or socially?

Anyone have their gallbladder removed after gastric sleeve?
GreenTealael replied to kasensmom's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
When i was in my twenties i had a friend have the procedure abd insisted that we stop for pizza on the way home from the hospital she was alert in minimal pain and most importantly upset when i objected to her request. She got her pizza in the end. When i had VSG my hospital roommate had the procedure and was up walking within the hour like it was nothing, she even felt sorry for me and wished me a speedy recovery as she glided home the next morning. It may not be that bad. -
Probably to pretend nothing happened because im sure it would look like a hostel workplace complaint that you could go to HR about...

Youve got this!

Apparently all of my friends and acquaintances are SUPER nosy and ive become a mystery they need to solve. Sometimes i think i should have just made a wls instagram profile so i would not have to answer questions over and over again. I dont quite have the energy for it, coupled with other medical concerns i just wanted a little peace on this journey... But nope either way my eating habits are the subject of much discussion

Thanks everyone!

Lol the power of black clothing strikes again!

Ladies, TMI question
GreenTealael replied to moondoggie1983's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you are still on your cycle come surgery you maybe able to use a menstrual cup (google divacup). Ask your team ahead of time just in case. When i got wind that my period would occur during surgery i requested to be rescheduled, there was no way i was dealing with that , turned out to be a good decision -

Recommendations for protein and vitamin sources
GreenTealael replied to JR15's topic in Food and Nutrition
Protein and vitamins usually boil to quality and tolerance. I LIke RTD protein like premier and EAS mainly because i can still stomach them Many people only use bariatric vitamins and thats worth looking into, i use sams club or equate brands that boasts of being compared national brands because they cost less Safe journey! -

Dating after surgery and weight loss
GreenTealael replied to TaylorMade4One's topic in The Gals' Room
Im still single AF... -
I am six months out and can eat more than just last month but i started working out pretty heavily which can stimulate appetite also It is highly unlikely that it has stretched (ask for diagnostics if really worried) most likely the swelling from surgery is gone which leaves more room for food. Some one please correct me if i am wrong... Also beware of slider foods with offer no resistance in the new stomach which leaves you hungrier quicker. They can also lead to higher than expected kcal counts . For me its yogurt nuts and seeds. Seemingly healthy right except 28-30g of nuts are 160-190 kcals!

Did you start iron supplements? Sometimes it turns stool black.

I’m being honest, just...not the most up-to-date. I WAS 249 a week ago, I promise! Ticker doesn’t need to know I was 250 today.
