To much to quick SLOW DOWN YOU HAVE A JOURNEY NOT A SPRINT Transition slowly mix up purred with liquids if you feel good on liquids stay mostly there - NO Pain or dumping keep pushing it and you will regret saying that. Read this site it take 4 weeks to transition as a average from liquids to purred to soft foods - Most of us longer, so trust me on this slow down

Welcome to the journey and Do not worry about the money you will save that in food the first year

I have no feelings in the tummy Never hungry and can go days on end without eating, Once you feel the little bit of pressure, not pain Stop eating - I am not one for measuring out food and such so i can eye what i can handle, I can handle about 4 oz and that i what i eye out - Now do i eat that? No way i just pick. Sunday i decided to see just how much i could get down so i weighed out 4 oz of prime rib cut really small and wet. Felt the pressure after 3 oz by 4 oz felt like hell! Did not toss it up, but really uncomfortable for awhile I just eye small piles of healthy food and snack em down over time - Kinda a red neck way to eat but it has been working

Cant Take credit for it Fluffy posted it here i just plagiarize it

Nobody on this forum is perfect except me! JK Do not fret that it happens you have to live normally - Most of that event was in your head, As a chef you have to taste food while prepping it, but like said before ................. You did not get the ticket to the obese ball cuz you just tasted while cooking.

This is me for sure looking like being sick - I will see in January if it changes will be on normal eating schedule and on maintenance so looking forward to it - THIS WLS STUFF IS A PAIN IN THE ASS! but still the best decision i have made, If i go below 245 that will not work at all for me. Will look all messed up -

This is the results or the information you entered: Height: 6 feet, 2 inches Weight: 245 pounds Your BMI is 31.5, indicating your weight is in the Obese category for adults of your height. For your height, a normal weight range would be from 144 to 194 pounds. People who are overweight or obese are at higher risk for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Anyone who is overweight should try to avoid gaining additional weight. Additionally, if you are overweight with other risk factors (such as high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, or high blood pressure), you should try to lose weight. Even a small weight loss (just 10% of your current weight) may help lower the risk of disease. Talk with your healthcare provider to determine appropriate ways to lose weight.

Been on BP meds for a few years - Same here mine spiked right after surgery, Doc said it was due to the no food and body going thru hell - Now mine is perfect )Had nothing to do with the 100 pounds i took off the ticker) Jk - I actually am moving to get off them now and seems i might be able to. I was told to monitor it regularly for the first 30 days - Take it right when you get up that is the critical one showing the body at rest

Get the prescibed medication from your doctor - I have a post of the ones i use and they work great Also a big mistake i was doing was drinking water then laying down, It would flush back up with acid - Hurts like hell

Just sent this to my good buddy who is the Top OBGYN in Naples - he has never heard of a conflict between WLS and conception. WIsh you good luck - I have been thru it from the males end and it is tough, Just hang in there i have two great kids now, but it was a bumpy ride for us also.

You got this Enjoy your new life - Just a hint get up and walk walk walk after surgery

If its anything like Turkey Day it sucked! I also do all the cooking and Dread this - Here is a idea i had this year - Christmas eve is all finger foods, Shrimp, Oysters, Scallops all stuff i can eat, Now there will be Unhealthy food also but most will be clean and simple eat with your fingers and leave! Christmas day I am going really simple - One large bone in Leg of Ham and due to the fact my family all loves ribs cut individually - I am not doing the sides this year except for a large Carbo Killer of lobster mac and cheese. I explained to them all you want bull **** food bring it but I am not doing it - As for sweets we decided to just get ice cream and call it a end to the day! Good luck and use drugs to get thru it - I will for sure have my little hidden bag of vodka jello shots somewhere around the kitchen.

Going to be a slow go - I would say at most 10 days. Make sure you move and move around a ton right after surgery, It gets better every day! Its the law for medical leave so try and shorten your shifts down a little to 5 hours may be a lot easier, but wait to you see how easy 8 will be when you drop a 100 pounds

I am male so I should be good but May try it give me something to do this week

Ok for those of you who love soup and are leaning towards liquids time to buy yourself base! I have been using this commercial product even prior to WLS - As a chef this is the best you can get, the product is good and you will be happy! I just ordered this and I will tell you it will last you all year, Hint when you buy the boxes or cans of broth they have a ton of enhancements in them and chemicals. It is not hard to make soup so use this instead - Healthy and Happy! This will make about a 55 gallon drum of soup broth. elivery estimate: Wednesday, December 18, 2019 by 9pm Minor's Ham Base Gluten Free No Added MSG 16 Ounce Sold by: JJFoeveo $15.00 Buy it again Minor's Beef Base, Instant Stock, Great for Soups and Sauces, 0 Trans Fat, 16 oz Bulk Container Sold by: Amazon.com Services, Inc $13.24 Buy it again Minor's Sauteed Vegetable Base, Mirepoix, Vegetable Stock, Gluten-Free, 16 oz Sold by: Amazon.com Services, Inc $9.99 Buy it again Delivery estimate: Wednesday, December 18, 2019 by 9pm Minor's Bacon Base, 16 Ounce Sold by: JJFoeveo $14.24 Buy it again Minor's Chicken Base, Chicken Stock, No Added MSG, Zero Trans Fat, Poultry Flavor, 16 oz Sold by: Amazon.com Services, Inc $12.33 Buy it again

The powder if done right can be way better - I use the peanut flavored ones and they are taste free when i add them - I am a trained chef so i can pick up flavor real quick - Also try this one very smooth and virtually taste free - The matrix one available online

Great thread i thought i was losing my mind - Plus I live in SW Florida - Naples and I am freezing my ass off all the time, Thought i was just losing it.

I agree the greatest thing after losing a 100 pounds is no more ache and pains and can go do just about anything i want to do, Pre surgery was limited because of my size and condition. Now its just have fun all the time Date fish beach outside and of course you gotta work still

Your lucky I am totally opposite i have to sip slowly and little amounts

Yes but not a whole bucket of guacamole! A half a avacodo is on my list as ok

I think you all have some weird fascinations - Staple removal and stitch removal does not seem fun to me! But thatch just me - We all have our little fetishist's -

Get the sleeve it seems important to you - They make great meds for the acid reflux

Everyone has a view. But i would agree to get informed, For me it was the best decision i made, But it is a journey and there are downsides, I would read this whole site and YOU and only YOU make the decision

May want to try it at home first Chicken for most of us does not end well I am chicken free now but prior to the sleeve would eat the hell out of it

Totally normal - Its Called WLS head games - Just focus on how healthy you will be and how happy you will be
