I appreciate your response and the link. It says right in this document... “ most post-op bariatric patients need to consume less than 1000 calories a day in order to maintain weight loss.”

1000 calories a day is a starvation diet Not a maintenance diet. This troubles me greatly. How can this be healthy long term? Meaning live to be 90 long term? Thank you for going to bat with me on this. I’m really having trouble with seeing how this is a forever option

I recently read, and can't find, an article about real longevity as it relates to a restricted calorie diet and how the body naturally thrives on calorie restrictions when the diet is based on nutrient density and whole foods mostly plant and Protein based. Lots of talk about reversing chronic disease and inflammation metabolic syndrome and people living into their 90 and 100s and having health and energy using this method. Primarily low calorie and high nutrition density. Dr Joel Furman has some great books about this.

What type of blender do you have?

I have the nutri bullet. It's great but no speed control and it almost arates everything incorporating too much air then causes lots of bloating and gas. Still trying to find a work around for this issue.

I used to love the muscle milk rtd but now..... It's leaving an almost sour aftertaste and super bloated, like forever. Anyone else's taste and smell change post op. Like my sense of smell especially around food is much more... Sensitive

So inspiring, I'm post op ten days and just found this forum. What a great resource.

Following. I am in a similar situation. Severe low back injury last may and not yet treated with surgery. Only at home therapy, some injections that didn't help. Trying to get insurance approved for the stimulation device. I had VSG ten days ago, post op and happy to fine this forum and thread. My question for you..... What can you tell me about the good or bad about the stimulation device. The unit my pain doc would use is the Nevro. I have been declined for two different pain Patches by my insurance company and now post op sleeve I cannot use ibuprofen. Horrible because I was using it daily. I have) 4,5 herniated with deep pain in hips and sciatica going down leg with bad calf cramping and numbness in my foot. I am 47, SWM, and currently 215. I can only take the gabapentin and tylenol. Suffering every hour, and have regular job and all that. Can't just lay down.

What is your opinion of the stim devices.
