Don't for get to make it VERY CLEAR what you really need from her, and see if she CAN do it. Its only fair... She maybe just as addicted to junk food as you are...VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

You need to sit down and have an honest conversation about it with her, because drastic changes (like quitting smoking/drugs & Alcohol, other major life changes) can cause a rift that can eventually end the relationship. So as long as she is aware of the changes (we don't eat together anymore , the stuff can't come in the house, I need your help with this , but that doesn't mean I don't like you, we have other things in common still etc.) and is OK with it and doesn't try to sabotage you (try to eat around you when that was the agreed to change, still brings foods in, nonchalant about your health,etc.) you guys should be fine... BUT SHE NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT YOU NEED FROM HER AND you may be one of he lucky ones after surgery that does not care about it at all (my family and friends can eat what ever they want, idk but healthy food is stocked in the house so the are making mostly good choices by default around me) VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Never in "public" Once in Paris I tried pan a cotta and had dumping symptoms (excused myself to the bathroom and played on the floor forever) Tried scrambled eggs at home 6 months out and it came back up Last night at almost 9 months post op, I ate a tiny bit if shredded raw purple cabbage with my dinner and felt like I needed to go to the ER So only two incidents involving food coming back up, but a few others types of discomfort VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Please try to get in contact with the hospital Dietician or Nutritionist ASAP, this site cannot replace medical advice, this is for socialization and support, but nutrition questions are best answered by your team, they have access to your medical history, labs, insurance, liability and have trained for this... After soft foods like yogurt pudding etc I moved on to softer textured /pureed foods , (stage 3 I think , but every plan and time frame is different) + very finely pureed/chopped chicken , salmon or tuna mixed with fat free mayo to make a pâté +very softly veggies like carrots and green beans (they literally dissolved in your mouth soft) +eggs (boiled, scrambled, etc) +very ripe banana +soft low fat cheese ( babybel, laughing cow, etc) -no grains, no breads, no pasta, no hard fiberous vegetables, no fruits with skins attached, no cookies/cakes/pastries, no alcohol, no added sugar, My typical day was: 7am - 12oz coffee or tea w/ 5.5 oz premier shake (15g protein), water 830 am- 1 oikos tripled zero yogurt with tsp honey (15g protein) 930 am - water or tea 4-8 oz 1030am - water or tea 4-8oz 11 am- water or tea 4-8oz 1230 pm- 1/4 cup (2oz?)

And he's entertaining, but my team is solely responsible for my care, so I consult them about everything VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Interesting perspective VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

My one supporter said the same thing like 2 days before my surgery! I.LOST.MY.MIND. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I like the texture scale too VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I'm a firm believer that husbands wives and young children sign up for the bariatric package (some dietary changes have to occur in their lives too) everyone else like mothers, fathers, adult children, sisters, brothers, roommates, etc they can support in other ways VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I have no eating disorders and real hunger...It ALL varies by personNo i agree, you can't always rely on people but the least they can do is not get in your way. Also not everyone will lose the hunger sensation and even more interesting I just found out today by another poster, sometimes vitamins can increase it. https://www.livestrong.com/article/488651-vitamin-b-complex-and-weight-gain/">https://www.livestrong.com/art...min-b-complex-and-weight-gain/ VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

The only info I gleaned from watching his YouTube was to incorporate more plant life into your diet, which my team advocates also, other than that I think he may be a great gateway tool for people that are just casually thinking about surgery, when you are serious you visit an actual surgeon and follow them VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

That's sad news to hear... But not true for all of us!!!! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Amazing VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Very easy in theory, but in practice not so much (something I constantly have remind myself before I hand out an easy inspirational response )Some people are dealing with a range of eating disorders, and they are hoping that during this MOST difficult period where everything is changing, they are literally starving pre op or they are in a lot of pain from surgery and could *easily* given in to prior behavior, their families would help make it just a little easier, by changing just few eating habits also or at least eating all of their junk in the car on the way home...
