Need encouragement from slow losers

Thanks, Seaforest, and congrats on your 7 inches lost! That's awesome! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app -
I had bypass because I suffered from GERD prior to surgery. It's gone now, as is my type 2 diabetes. The sleeve may make GERD worse. Bypass is considered the "Gold Standard " but there are many, many successful sleevers here. Do lots of reading of the posts here. Good information is available. Good luck!

What to eat
Briswife15 replied to Sherrysmail123@gmail.com's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did your surgeon give you a list of foods to eat? I believe on my plan I will be in a regular bariatric diet at 2 months, which means dense proteins first, then veggies. Im not to eat any starch, sugars, or high fat foods. Good luck to you. If you have questions contract your surgeon's office. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Yes, normal. That's almost a pound a day! When have you been able to lose 6 pounds in a week before? keep up the good work! And don't be discouraged. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Any1 liver too large &surgery was denied?
Briswife15 replied to Peachgodd's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
I think if someone's surgery was denied they wouldn't be hanging around on a WLS support website. You're not going to get many responses. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Post Op Sleeve to GBP Revision-LETS SHARE What are you eating and how far out from surgery are you?
Briswife15 replied to claricey's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Wow! I'm impressed, and a little envious of your delicious food! I'm 3 weeks out today from RNY gastric bypass and just started "advanced purees". So far today Ive had 2 protein shakes. And one hard boiled egg mashed up with light mayo. For dinner I plan to have 2 oz ricotta with one tbsp marinara sauce. I start soft foods in one week, and regular foods in 3 weeks.

The first weeks are an adjustment. Things will get better, I promise. I'm 3 weeks post RNY gastric bypass today, and things are good. Hang in there and remember why you wanted surgery. Best to you! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Briswife15 replied to Briswife15's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks, Fluffy and GradyCat! I needed reassurance that it is possible! I'm still on shakes, 2 ounces of ricotta, or 2 ounces of non fat Greek yogurt. Nothin' carby or crappy in my diet, and I plan to keep it that way!! Trying pureed boiled egg for lunch today. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app -

Pre-Operative Diet Question
Briswife15 replied to TTU_FAN_19's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You'll be fine. The point is to shrink your liver on a low carb, low fat diet. If you really have questions you need to contact your surgeon's office. Good luck on your surgery, and good job not cheating!! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Deliberately eating to much
Briswife15 replied to caryla's topic in Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Forum
Hmmm. Is there a therapist you can talk to about this food-disordered behavior? It is a slippery slope, and I'd like to see you get it under control before it extends to other meals as well. As a former anorexic/purger, I know what it's like to eat and then make yourself throw up. Please get help! Best wishes. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Fish oil omega-3 soft capsules
Briswife15 replied to New&Improved's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Since my bypass I take CorOmega brand fish oil cream in little pouches. My physician prescribed fish oil capsules years ago, but since bypass tgey are too large to swallow. Coromega tastes like a creamsicle with no fishy burps or aftertaste. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Medications immediately after surgery
Briswife15 replied to Cameo325's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take two psych meds, and was told that as long as they were not extended release I could take them right away. I've had no problems taking them, and they seem just as effective as begire surgery. Im 19 days post surgery. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app -

Puréed stage questions
Briswife15 replied to PudgeBeGone's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did your surgeon give you a specific list of purees you should eat? I have 2 stages of purees, bland purees for one week, then advanced purees for another week. Cream if Rice didn't sit well with me. I pureed refried beans with a little broth. Delicious. I can also eat ricotta cheese, plain Greek yogurt. Soon I'll add hummus, cottage cheese, and pureed boiled egg.

I'm 60. Anyone else over 50 doing RNY?
Briswife15 replied to Pam Peltz's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Maybe add in some healthy fats like avocado and or nuts. How tall are you? Some folks think they've lost too much weight, but are in the healthy BMI range. Congratulations on reaching your goal so quickly, and I hope you can find some balance. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app -

Oh, I also found the lemonade Crystal Light gave me pouch pain. I switched to fruit punch and citrus and they are less acidic and irritating than lemonade. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Maybe stop weighing every day. That way you won't get stressed with the up and down. I think you're doing great!! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Have you noticed any difference when you sip warm broth versus the ice water? I am 18 days post op, and ice cold fluids cause spasms. I get pain if I gulp rather than several baby sips. I drink a lot of Crystal Light in cool, but not cold water. Try varying the temperature and take smaller sips. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
