What was/is your greatest fear?
ShoppGirl replied to Smitty74's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My greatest fear is that I will not be successful. Or that I will lose all the weight but as soon as the hunger hormones come back I will gain it all back. 2nd is that I will have a bunch of extra skin and hate my body. -
Okay so I have been on puréed diet with the exception of over steamed broccoli and zucchini but Friday I get to move to soft foods and i am wondering what other people did. I don’t trust myself after misinterpreting before to just start trying stuff. Lol

I didn’t have a lot of pain and took non narcotics even while in the hospital but I know someone else who had the same surgery with the same surgeon and she was In so much pain they gave her that button thingy you keep pressing (with morphine I think) and that helped her. So everyone is definitely different but they do everything they can to minimize your pain.

Can I see some before and after pics?

Wow you all look so great. Definitely makes the all the tedious measuring of food and trying to make tiny portions feel like it’s going to be so worth it. -
Congrats 🍾

What is your favorite shake recipe? Protein add Ins and other secret ingredients? I bought a ninja and I’m ready to use it. 😂

Favorite shake recipe.

Is that like PB fit? -
I take the bariatric advantage chewable multivitamin with iron and their calcium citrate chews both twice a day and use cocoa butter and collagen peptides daily to help minimize excess skin.

Awesome. Keep it up!!

Congratulations. You look fantastic. Out of curiosity when did the hunger hormones return and what is it like post surgery?

Congrats to everyone on their surgery dates.

I am seven weeks out and those doubts and fears still creep in that I will be one of the non success stories (I’ll lose it but gain it back). I am thinking about seeing a bariatric therapist to help with this and issues with eating when board. A lot of people seem to really get a lot out of having a bariatric therapist.

For Those Who Had A Pre Op Diet.....
ShoppGirl replied to SummerTimeGirl's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I used premier protein as well. It was in the list of recommended shakes. I would agree with others that you ask the dr directly if it really matters. If money isn’t an issue and you will drink them eventually I would just let it go (but that’s me and I am a “rule follower” to a certain extent as well). -
April surgeries
ShoppGirl replied to BigDreamer2021's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started questioning it. But I knew in my heart that I had done well on diets before....until I didn’t (and then I gained it all back). -

To further what greentealeal suggested, try NetFlix for a while. No commercials so no food temptations. -

ShoppGirl replied to kalassi's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I replied to this as if it was kalassi saying it. Sorry for the confusion. I was just typing on a roll and thought it was same person. 😂 -
Awesome. I added cream cheese to my list for tomorrow so I can try those ASAP.
