Tips for Preventing Pouch Sleeve Stretch
mrblond replied to Goldn02Grl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
lucky, my program taught this. still have a problem with this though, its a very hard habit to break. -
I’ve got a winner!!! (Calcium Citrate Chews)
mrblond replied to GingerSlim's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
yeah, those are really good but you pay for it. i can stand taking the horse pills for half the cost. -
for me, it was the liquid stuff. Tylonal PM is your best friend for the 1st 2 weeks.

Has anyone tried it? on paper it look ideal but it has only recently been approved for use as a sweetener so there is not alot of data on it. I use splenda now and its not ideal, it also doesnt make me vomit and pass a bad after taste like some others. If you have not tried monkfruit? what do you use as a sweetener?
-
wow, watched that video and it contradicted most of what my program said.😱 So funny how different things are depending on who you talk to.
-
everyone is different. My program also says no carbonated stuff.. I say try a little, see how you do. I cant imagine though the belching that would be involved. hard enough drinking non carbonated drinks and not burping all the time.,

Could I've really dropped 22 lbs in 5 days?
mrblond replied to Da'Bora Kaye's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
remember, they fill you with fluids when your in the hospital, takes a bit to pee all that out. I bet most of your weight loss is that. -
STALLLLLL SOMEONE HELP!!!
mrblond replied to ruthalbert21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Stalls happen. just keep going. Also, they are correct, 30lbs in 2 months is great. -
yes! they have that at my local grocery, its a wonderful thing.. a real treat when i got past the liquid stage
-
I am just curious about what foods you may eat that you are not supped to do it being unhealthy or what not. Me, I have had ramen noodles like twice since my surgery. not the best thing to eat I know but eh..
-
might be the acids fromt he tomatoes. I could not tolerate them that soon after and even now they are iffy.
-
Mine was one of those that said never.. something about how the caffeine affects the blood sugar. I ended up having coffee like 2 or so weeks out. now have maybe 3 cups a day.

Started on The Carnivore Diet
mrblond replied to GradyCat's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have not heard of this but I did " paleo " for a month just to try it out and see how easy/hard it was. Lost 25 lbs. The hardest thing is no dairy or grains.. i love bread.. but its something you can look into if the full on carni does not work for you. My sister is type 1 and does Keto. says its the only thing she tried that keeps her blood sugars from really going wonkey -
When did y'all begin to replace your clothing? my jeans are really getting lose but i dont want to have to buy several pairs as I am loosing.. I got a feeling its best to make new notches int he belt and just wear what I got till I am at the weight I want to be,

When can I have some rice? Lol
mrblond replied to dpendleton02's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my program has it we are free to eat whatever after 6 weeks. I also found that in can not eat anything at that point. some things really upset my stomach, one being whole grains. I have not tried rice as of yet though, as I have found even looking at carbs makes me gain weight. -
i went through a stall that hit about the 8th week and seemed to last 2 weeks but seems to have broken. I was stuck at 325ish and the last few days I have dropped to 316ish, so they happen, just keep it up!

Protein during clear liquids
mrblond replied to Awesome1981's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My program did not have a clear liquid, just liquid so protein shakes were good. My surgeon also said not to worry about it for the 1st week, just get liquids down as dehydration was the biggest cause for early complications -
What do you do when you don’t want to eat?
mrblond replied to CurvyMom's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
yep, its where I am at too, need to stop that. so much easier to eat some walnuts then deal with eating a meal.. then i just graze on walnuts all day.. -
FELL OFF THE WAGON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 10 MONTHS
mrblond replied to VIKING 0424's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
no worries, just don't make a habit out of it. I can see someone going crazy trying to eat the right stuff all the time.. you have to let go here and there..and as Jazzy pointed out, just dont do it every day, or even every month., -
Can you eat potatoes on Pre-OP diet ?
mrblond replied to texasnewf's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My pre-op diet was pretty much the same as my 2 week post-op liquid diet. -
To be honest, id be more worried about dying in a car crash on the way to work then having a drink now and then. We all need to consume in moderation now
-
Yeah, I think there are better options, I use premier powders and just mix them with 1% milk, pretty cheap and its pretty good stuff

First thing you ate when you were cleared for normal food
mrblond posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
What was the 1st thing you had? I am planning on 3ish gulf shrimp, pan seared with lots of garlic. Or maybe a piece of whitefish, also seared with a dill cream sauce.. We will see how it all goes though, I am on my 1st day of very soft foods. had scrambled eggs this morning and lastnight I cheated a little and had some cottage cheese.. sofar so good. -
Stalled at almost 7 months
mrblond replied to Sophiasmommy17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Also, Muscle weighs more then fat, so if you are adding muscle your weight will rise even though you are still losing fat.
