Help! I ate McDonald's 2 weeks post op
Im advocating that complications can make someone a negative statistic and complications are not something a person would choose therefor the message doesnt take these things into account. I advocate for everyone to do the best they can but some people will still fail and some due to no fault of their own. HTH

Help! I ate McDonald's 2 weeks post op
I like it except it leaves no room for those with complications who cant do things the normal way or due to complication is a negative statistic as if their complication was picked by themself when its more like russian roulette in regards to statistics. Some also lose less than the curve and prob dont need shamed but in a perfect world this would work

Help! I ate McDonald's 2 weeks post op
Love pizza cant eat it though yet but am glad to see people year out can. Cant even imagine nuggets going down. Its such a dense food that pouch would probably reject at half a bite. I had some white spinach queso from chilis yesterday. Its the dip that comes with chips and gauc. The gauc was also smooth so i ate it. Fed chips to the peacocks. I also drank the juice from chicken tortilla soup. Not quite ready for the next level of textures

Have I made the right choice ?
Only you can determine if youve made the right choice and if you end up with complications you may regret. I will say that you will be pleasantly surprised with how fast the weight seems to go off initially ?

No energy
You feel this way due to calorie deficit. Calories give energy. Hang in there!
-
Equation/calculator to assess post-op progress?
Yes lets science the hell out of this. Somebody needs to create the calculator and maybe its you ✊?
-
Food tolerance rollercoaster?
I feel pretty blaze about food right now too. Its hard to find something the pouch doesnt react to in some way. Its a russian roulette of diareah or nausea at times. I am a little over two weeks out so im probably still healing and some food intolerances may be temporary

Preop liquid diet oopsies
You can ask your surgeons office what to buy for prep. Slimfast was not ok at mine.

Anyone for August 2020
I wonder if youve talked to your surgeon because if you are having an appetite they might be able to prescribe an appetite suppressant. Let them know!

3 Week Stall Turning into 5 Week Stall
Hey congrats on those lbs. i read the closer you get to a lower weight the weight loss slows. Maybe make an appointment with your dietician and go over a weeks worth of food log. They have seen it all and usually have good tips
