    Feeling frustrated and demoralized

    It’s so soon after surgery that you are surely still feeling the effects of fluid retention and inflammation. Also weight loss will be the easiest the the first 12 months post op (not the first 3 days) so don’t lose hope. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/weight-gain-after-surgery https://www.stylecraze.com/articles/main-reasons-for-weight-gain-after-surgery/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5389231/

  6. Early on I measured by volume (1/8 cup etc), later by weight (3 oz of protein) and now by sight (palm of my hand). I think it’s easier by volume in the beginning because you can estimate how much food can comfortably “fit” when you aren’t necessarily worried about calories. But weighing helps when it comes to protein estimation when you reach the solid food stage. Good luck!

    GLP-1s

    Ha! No. I often wonder why certain people were singled or coupled and honestly there’s no rhyme or reason to it. However, romance films suggest that your soulmate is probably trying to find you but your schedules are opposite, live in a different part of the world or don’t speak the same language.

    GLP-1s

    I found an interesting and balanced article on the subject: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/03/27/will-the-ozempic-era-change-how-we-think-about-being-fat-and-being-thin?utm_source=nl&utm_brand=tny&utm_mailing=TNY_Daily_032023&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_medium=email&utm_term=tny_daily_digest&bxid=5be9e2232ddf9c72dc4a2663&cndid=51564709&hasha=504e4145699f9da4b12b69443f9d7ebf&hashb=3cd25b667ad02140a708f8e6a3e1ab73feb8f967&hashc=cbbe2e904e1960df9de6a41bf93151fd5dc0bcd13428be51382d9a5227bbde69&esrc=VERSO_NAVIGATION

    Food Before and After Photos

    A scratch made blueberry cheesecake pop tart during a recent trip. It looked great but unfortunately I didn’t sample it because I didn’t want the consequences, but it gave me ideas for making my own low sugar version one day.

    ROBOTIC SLEEVE SURGERY

    These surgeries are robot assisted. A.I. will not autonomously perform the surgery. A surgeon is still in control… unless the hospital is a subsidiary of Cyberdyne Industries 😂. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/robotic-surgery/about/pac-20394974

    Can not eat after surgery

    If he hasn’t had imaging or an endoscopy done yet that would be my next step. If the provider refuses, tell him to ask the provider to document the refusal and reason. Good luck to him

    One day post op

    Sometimes thirst can be mistaken for hunger. Definitely keep plugging away at your hydration goals. Congratulations!

    Protein Coffee is a GAME CHANGER

    When I drank coffee this was my go to recipe!
  19. Restocking? Back ordered inventory? I don’t want to believe Target would do this.
  20. That’s wild because Target has always carried larger sizes!

    Cold

    Can you reach them by telephone?
  22. Speedy recovery and I hope the biopsy results are benign ❤️

    back in the hospital

    Get well soon!
  24. Ask your Doctor to check your vitamin levels to make sure you’re not deficient in anything especially iron (ferritin), vitamin d and zinc. I agree that a regular Bariatric multivitamin should be enough however I think that supplementing with amino acid L Lysine is beneficial. Ask your Doctor of course! Good luck ❤️
