When did you start losing hair?
GreenTealael replied to ChloeSleeved's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Google Telogen Effluvium and WLS for some common stories, info etc. Its going to vary widely but usually not immediately after surgery, it takes a few weeks to months to manifest, if its going to happen. Safe Journey!!! -
8 days post op & barely feeling the restriction I felt even two days ago. Normal?
GreenTealael replied to JessiG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Really nervous? Call your team and see what they say. Likely no problems but you could slow down a bit and not push the limits of your brand new machine (by drinking too much too fast) and create a problem. Hunger is tricky, it can be mental or physical (acid reflux or real hunger), PPIs and the next stage will take care of that. Safe Journey!!! -

Preparing for the dead😮
GreenTealael replied to Beautfully Flawed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
First off I just wanted to congratulate you on the click bait lol, very smooth and effective, haha. Second, you will do great. Being in shape prior to surgery helps some people bounce back to a regime quickly, but if not no worries go at the pace your body dictates. I was not in shape prior to surgery and i waited until 4 months post op to join a gym. I'm still just a novice and I work out lightly. Do what is best for you AFTER surgery. Safe Journey! -
Looks great as an occasional treat but you may soon find out you will have not problem eating those in large quantities compared to pure protein sources and if your are reaching for Atkins candy bars first, that's when the problem occurs. Can't rely on supplements forever, and those can make you want to...

I gave up my sugar free in 5th day post op
GreenTealael replied to Redapples's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can look for other substitutes that are not sugar chemical derivatives specifically things that contain stevia, erythritol, Reb A or no sugar or substitutes at all, but work closely with your teams for the best outcomes! -
Question : Do anyone planning on seeing your dietitian for the next few months after wls?
GreenTealael replied to Redapples's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes , on an as needed basis , mostly through email, in person when on a long plateau or I want to travel comfortably or try something completely new. I want to make sure everyone is aware of what I'm doing so I don't show up with a mystery ailment I could have easily prevented by a little consultation , or reevaluate my goals -
Questions about working out/ gaining weight?
GreenTealael replied to George OG's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I will suggest buying a crockpot , and looking up meals for it. You basically put everything in and set it- come home to good food . But YouTube is also a great place to go for free training advice on how to get started with a program. -

GreenTealael replied to apositivelife4me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Definitely work with your NUT, but I guess what they mean is that while legumes and quinoa have protein, they are not the highest sources of plant proteins. You have to diversify your diet quite a bit as a vegan to stay low carb but moderate to high protein. You also want to eat leafy greens (cruciferous vegetables) and maybe some soy. That means doing tons of research, and being prepared to work closely with your NUT on this . -

Try cleaning the diet up first before you reset , sometimes its all you really need. -
One year post surgery pouch reset
GreenTealael replied to raynay05's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I mini reset every month. I'm only 9 months out but once a month I take a few days I go right back to the beginning, cleans my (already clean) diet up further and makes me want to eat less. I must include I really punch up the water intake during these periods. Good luck! -

Liquid protein vs. Water?
GreenTealael replied to IsabellasBlues's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks! How did you work out your schedule? Alarms every half hour or so? Yes, every 30 mins 4 oz of water or whatever was recommended out of the hospital, I don't remember if I ever quite achieved goals that early out but I sure tried! -

GreenTealael replied to IsabellasBlues's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can try setting alarms for each. I had a strict watering schedule immediately after surgery. CONGRATS Safe journey -
I do, not necessarily plain water but type of water. Low quality water I cannot tolerate. The more mineral enhanced, foreign, alkaline, etc. the better for me. No clue why. I jokingly said that I have a celebrity sleeve. Lol. Try different types of waters.
