I feel scared and ashamed...
GreenTealael replied to sariejack's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was afraid this was my first surgery under anesthesia so I made emergency preparations and even left instructions with my proxy. Then the night before surgery, I calmly binged on my favorite activities, movies , cleaning, etc. I was delirious by my 5am surgery but excited The months before surgery will test your will, sanity and patience. When the time comes you will be more than ready. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -
Do you have protein requirements or calorie limits? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Could be hormonal flux, hanger, mild dehydration (don't count this out) vitamin & mineral imbalance, medication interactions, Sexual frustration, etc. or everyone you know finally deserves a piece of your mind (boldness) Speak with your team, they may have resources to help you before you burn all of your bridges.

Did you stop using keranique at any point? The main ingredient is minoxidil, which if you stop, you lose the regrowth associated with it. If so, visit a dermatologist, and buy less expensive yet same quality generic minoxidil (pharmacy brand)VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

You can add to the topic in the liquid phase too! ie How much you can drink in 15 mins, 30 mins etc. People wonder if they are drinking too much too fast all of the time. Also protein shake recipes if you find good ones! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -

Its always Amazing -from the pureed stage all the way to regular foods, its a staple for me because its no cook and so quick , mostly just prep work ready in 5 mins:Salmon (pouched or canned) Mayo, spices(sweet curry powder, red curry powder, onion and garlic powder, pepper,salt, anything else you like)! Enjoy!!! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -

I wonder if I'll be dissatisfied when I get to goal?
-
This is a thought provoking question. It makes me think back to my younger, thinner days when even then I was never happy with the way my body looked - if only I knew that it was all down hill from there! And now that I have worked from being morbidly obese to reaching my goal, I am wondering if I should lose more because maybe a size 6 will be better than a size 8. I think many of us, especially women, need to explore our body image issues a little deeper. What does it take to feel satisfied with being you? Does the weight loss make us happy, or do we need to focus on our inner happiness and just being happy with who we are? Difficult questions I think.
-
I am sure all my lumps and bumps will not look anything like what my mind pictures! My mind just lies all the time to me anyway...lol
BUT I am already pretty happy with being able to FEEL lighter on my feet, fit into smaller clothes, etc. I think I will be satisfied, and especially after some 'nip/tuck', more like 'slash/extract/add/stretch/stitch' lol but anyway even that will not make all the internal parts 18 again, so any improvement will be just fine.

I've recently been thinking the same thing. I'm 30 lbs away from goal, so it is feeling more real. Will I be happy at 140? Will that be too high or too low? Where are these additional 30 lbs come from? I want to keep my butt, but lose my tummy, but what if the opposite happens?

Wonder when this nausea feeling will go away 😞

Try caring temperatures of liquids to see if any difference affects you or try sugar free Popsicle's if they are on your plan. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -

When did you really start to feel restriction?
GreenTealael replied to EsoKev's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Fluids go right through you. In your stomach for 15 minutes max ( l think that's what i was told) but that being said I do remember being told that you can retrain your stomach to empty too fast, ask your team about the validity of this Just a small amount of solid proteins give me a lot of restriction even now , 8 month post op every time I swear I have no restriction, boom salmon fillet wins, 3oz and I'm done. If I'm questioning my restriction, too many sliders in my diet, time to tighten up. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -

But that's why I think we need a compilation of stories not necessarily interactive threads for VETS. Their (and your)experience is already settled by time and not up for debate, I just want some information I can search through (easily) and gain what I gain. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167
