elcee got a reaction from BeanitoDiego in Very upset after nutritionist appointment
According to my nutritionist the calculation is around .8grams of Protein per 1kg of weight. As you lose weight your protein requirements will be less. This is why initially most people have to use Protein Shakes but as they lose weight they are no longer required .
When I last saw my nutritionist I weighed around 60kg and she calculated I was getting around 60g of protein per day so I no longer needed shakes.
Not getting enough protein is very risky. Your body will try to get it where it can. You don’t want your body to start breaking down all it’s muscles , particularly the heart

elcee got a reaction from Sunnyway in Revision 318
If your surgeon has said 2 weeks liquid then you do 2 weeks liquid. They are the one that is responsible for keeping you alive , following the instructions they have given you should be a no brainer

elcee got a reaction from Jaelzion in Complete lap band failure
I had a revision to RNY and it’s like the difference between day and night. No more getting stuck, no more chest pain and I can eat a lot healthier. Steak, chops, chicken, salad etc.
I still have to be careful of sliders and grazing but those are issues that we have to take individual responsibility for , they are not something any WLS will sort out.
Bands have fallen out of favour as they cause too many issues and also trying to find the correct balance between reducing hunger yet still being able to eat healthy foods is too hard.

Jealous of all these little skimpy outfits. It’s winter here in Aus and it’s cold, wet and miserable. If I post a photo I will probably look like the abominable snowman, that’s once I manage to drag myself out of my nice warm bed.

Why would you if it’s doing what it’s supposed to and not causing issues? Fingers crossed that it all stays that way

elcee got a reaction from Katiebal_Lecter in What does full feel like after bypass?
It feels like normal fullness. You lose interest in food, don’t want any more, feel like you have had enough etc.
You don’t get that awful feeling in your chest and or throat that makes you feel like you are dieing . No more getting stuck, wasting nights out chucking in the loo, not being able to swallow your own spit.
The difference is like day and night, if I had known what both surgeries were like in advance I would have gone straight to RNY.
But you still have to be in control, it’s not a magic wand, it won’t stop you eating slider foods although you may get dumping.Its the same as all the other types of surgery, it’s a very effective tool if you use it correctly.

It can damage all sorts of things not least of which is the brain. But I’m sure you already know that and you are going to go ahead anyway.

This question “comes up” all the time. I think the best response I have read is that generally they prefer you to wait until you are home from hospital

I wouldn’t get on any hospital cruise ship, so far all they have done is shown how they spread the virus among people even when they are locked in their own cabins
