Any major hair loss / issues? -
After surgery safe for vacation?
GreenTealael replied to angjade2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
By that point post op it heavily depends on your tolerance of pain and your energy levels If you have zero complications and a high threshold for pain you will be fine just maybe a little nauseous and very tired. You may want to consider letting your husband drive so that you'll have enough energy for the event I was wiped out all there at that point because of the amount of energy y body needed to heal plus the deficit caused by the restricted diet , I could only drive for about 10 mins at a time before i felt like I needed a nap. Enjoy Comicon! I hope the Firefly panel is there ... -
Extra sweet taste buds
GreenTealael replied to dsapeg69's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes I think everything is too sweet now Especially the protein shakes and cookies -
I’m very scared! All I crave is sugar!!!
GreenTealael replied to sunshinemia's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
There is plenty of research that suggests that sugar is addictive, and like any other addiction you have to detox from it to beat it. Cravings don't always go away because some are mental and some are physiological. Maybe going back to basic may help alleviate the cravings. Have you tried eliminating refined sugars and settling for lower amounts of natural ones yet? I believe kicking the sugar habit is totally doable! Safe journey -
Craving a sandwich/wrap
GreenTealael replied to istytehcrawk's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Have you tried lettuce as a wrap alternative ? People seem to love it Also in the early stages of post op I came up with a biscuit alternative made from home made oat flour and protein powder worked well as a burger bun DM me if you want the recipe -
I was doing a Keto like diet (was not hitting the fat goals) then I went on vacation and it was shot to hell So I'm doing a low carb plan but nothing like before. I didn't notice any gained weight as a result of the switch however I am in the early months of post surgery my body seems to enjoy the fruits and vegetables more than the proteins (I was a vegetarian prior to surgery anyways) but I'm still being careful to keep rice bread and the likes out of my diet.

Massive gut not shrinking
GreenTealael replied to Walter.Sobchak's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I Hope so I'm gonna need it ! -
I'm not a runner (unless being chased or to a flight I'm late for) It does not make me feel good like it does for some and my knees quietly thank me but I just had an epiphany when I realized that running is an easier way to make the miles pass faster on the treadmill so I can do other workouts like much needed squats. I definitely will alternate running and walking But Im kind of mad I just figured it out But I probably could have never done it prior to surgery anyway... Anyone else had a eureka exercise moment?

Oooo I'm definitely trying this

What did you do with your old clothing? AND clothing goals?
GreenTealael replied to melsabells's topic in The Gals' Room
Gave most of my clothes to friends or charity, my goal was to get out of plus size clothing and when I was able to fit into a xl I was happy. A couple of weeks ago I bought a size m dress which now fits but the kicker is today I fit into a pair of size 13 fashion nova jeans that my niece was trying to give me! Craziness -
Massive gut not shrinking
GreenTealael replied to Walter.Sobchak's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It may have to do with where you carry the most weight... I carry a lot of weight in my chest and that's reducing slowly but my shape is still the same presurgery just smaller I hear sculpting the body through Weight training is one option to reshape your body -
