    That's GREAT. Good job.
  2. GradyCat
    Yes, it's a lengthy process from start to finish. My insurance approval took two weeks, but I couldn't get the surgery for six weeks because my surgeon's calendar was booked up that far out. I know patience is hard, but it's worth it, so just take a deep breath and enjoy the fact that you've been approved.

    You'll be fine. I went on a cruise 9 weeks post-op and did fine. I just really paid attention to what I ate.

    Great post, thanks!

    You mean like having a "food funeral" of a bunch of bad foods while you could still have them? Sure, that's common.

    That's great, good job, way to go!

    Liquids Before Surgery

    GradyCat replied to momof2ballgirls's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I didn't mind the liquid-only phase because I got to drink all the chocolate protein drinks I wanted! LOL!

    Can I eat this

    GradyCat replied to Getfitwithlizz_vsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Soft mushy foods only at this point. You don't want to irritate your new stomach. Cottage cheese, sugar-free pudding, sugar-free popsicles, soup, protein shakes.

    Test

    GradyCat replied to Shyree Wimberly's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Good luck with all the pre-surgery testing.

    I'm sorry about the timing, but better safe than sorry if they have to postpone it.

    Any Ideas?

    GradyCat replied to FABmrsZ2020's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Sounds like normal post-op nausea. It gets better within a few days.
  13. GradyCat
    I'm guessing they're sore from the few days laying in the hospital and not using your stomach muscles as much when you raise from a seated position. When you start exercising again it'll all return to normal.

    Oh gosh, sounds awful. I haven't thrown up since the sleeve, so I think it would be awful. So sorry about your food poisoning.

    MEAT

    GradyCat replied to 🌱VeGan❤️HeArT🌱's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Sure some foods will be intolerant for you for a while and some still are for me even a year post surgery.

    My nutritionist visits are free for lifetime support, as often as I want to see her at my surgeon's office. It's part of the package deal.

    Travel in the USA

    GradyCat replied to OzCaz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Order from the kids' menu or senior menu or lunch size portions. Ask for half of your order in a to-go box for a second meal later. Just eat what you can and leave the rest.

    Constipation issues after WLS

    GradyCat replied to Michele_DS's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum

    I got lucky and never had those issues after the sleeve, but my doctor had said to take Miralax if it happened.

    It's never okay to vomit blood. Get to the immediate care center.

    SuperBowl food

    GradyCat replied to GettinSkinnywithit's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

    Chili is a good healthy option. Chips with hummus? Parmesan crisps with dip?

    Should I order Chinese food

    GradyCat replied to Sheri416's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    It's been long enough since your surgery. Should be okay.

    Pre op weight loss confusion

    GradyCat replied to avillemure93's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I think it goes from your starting weight and comorbidities.

    Feeling a bit bad about what I ate

    GradyCat replied to Isabelmonster's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    It happens. Forgive yourself and let it go.

    Calorie and carb intake

    GradyCat replied to Dollylama's topic in Fitness & Exercise

    That actually sounds about right.
