I’m a month post op and I noticed that as my body is constantly in ketosis, I feel like I always smell. Do any of you have any experience of smelly crotches and breathe? Any tips to alleviate the smelliness?

So my first after the procedure was terribly painful, now I'm constantly spotting. IT's going to be a while before everything settles out.

My surgeon ok'd me for pills from the beginning. But each doctor is different. Try getting a capsule and grinding it into a tablespoon of applesauce to switch it up.

In between my meal I have small snacks of fruit like melons and pineapple and veggies to help me go. It's a natural way to consume fiber and enjoy it too.

Is it only weight gain? or do you have any other side effects as well? -
Considering Gastric sleeve surgery
koketika replied to Shell06's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Getting it will improve and change your life in a way you didn't think it was possible. It took me a while to do the leap, but I'm happy I did. -
I started dating someone 2 weeks before my surgery and we have been going out and enjoying our date nights. Usually we choose an appetizer and an entree to share and I serve myself a little from each. At this point I haven't started drinking, but you can always have date nights that involve music and other non sit down eating to make it more comfortable at the beginning.

To tell or not to tell
koketika replied to big_ange's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've told immediate family and close friends. When people see me and they comment on how much slimmer I look, I do tell them that I had bariatric surgery. I'm not publishing it in social media. -
I rewarded myself with a spa day for the first 25 lost! For 50 lb, I may do a trip.

Feeling Pressure (Gas?) in Chest after drinking/eating
koketika replied to ChubbyBunny_x's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Go for the pea or soy protein. It helps immensely. -
I'm a month post op and my best friend are the Isopure clear drinks. They have different flavors and they come in powder so you can prepare yourself or liquid for on the go. each 10 oz has 20 gr of protein. It's a great way to get your protein levels. Have you tried eating chili? It's high in protein and you can blend it to make it sofeter.

Anyone had surgery done in New York?
koketika replied to shanshan's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Harvey has excellent bedside manners and he pays attention to his patient’s concern. It’s great so far working with him in this journey. -
It happens to all of us. It's a initial side effect as your body adjust to its new self and it eats itself to compensate with all the calories you aren't giving it. You'll be fine in a 2 weeks give or take. Just continue moving and don't be sedentary for extended periods of time.

I went on vacation to Brazil during the summer of 2018 and was walking around with my friends and taking jumping pictures everywhere and my knees got so inflamed. So after many years of yo-yoing where on the up yo I would gain more weight, I decided it was time to do something more serious.

That's great.

Try soft scrambled eggs. 1 egg is 6 grams of protein. And have a shake afterwards.

Did you start exercising already?

Go to your surgeon. They can fix it.

Puréed stage questions
koketika replied to PudgeBeGone's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That looks like the list I got from my doctor, but no red meat on mine. And I'm allowed beans, lentils and tofu pureed. -
Listen to your body and be mindful of your calories. Use an app like my fitness pal.

I've been using Baritastic. It also creeates reminders for vitamins and shakes.

Not consuming enough protein will not stop your weight process, it will under nourish your muscles and cause you to lose muscle mass. Do you monitor your menstrual cycle closely, as your weight gain can be water weight in PMS mode. Is it just fluid your intake problem or can you eat mushy foods? Maybe adding unflavored protein powder your meals can help up your protein intake.

koketika replied to KCgirl061's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Check what kind of protein in your protein bars. Whey proteinis dairy based.
