Great googley moogley. Your menus sound delish!! I'm in WLM at the top of my window. I honestly don't know how it happened. I made sugar free protein jello (and ate a crap ton of it leftover from a party with my support group), and that's really the only thing "bad". I had 1/2 a peach glaze (sugar) chicken leg and a large tortellini at the party. Sooo, dunno. Must be out of ketosis is all I can think of. Not too concerned but eating my clean M-Th diet.

Almost 2 years post op - Starting to gain little bits at a time
Saxons replied to Nomanativ's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am also 2 years out, started at 266, now 190. I am 5'8 female. My goal is 170. I am stuck. Not gaining, but also not losing. I have been stuck for about 8 months. My food intake is still tiny, and my sleeve has never stretched. To be honest, I get fed up with my sleeve, and I hate eating out. I can barely fit in a side salad as a main. I get terrible symptoms of dumping eating steak, chicken or fish. That's exhausting and not very social! I am wondering if I am actually not eating enough, and I am in starvation mode. I am going to go back on to my Optifast shakes to up my protein. Maybe you should do the same? Get your metabolism fired up again? -
Well into my pre op liquid diet
jessrunge6 replied to jessrunge6's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, I’m 10 days post surgery and feeling stronger every day! I feel very lucky because my surgery went so well and I was up walking with no nausea and little pain. Discharged 48 hours later and working my liquids every day. My scale hasn’t budged but I honestly think it’s broken bc all my clothes are baggy and my face is way thinner. Thanks for all the encouragement!! I’m happy to finally be on the losers bench. 😀😀 -
Top Bariatric surgeons in Mexico?
"Henry" replied to Pink7777's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Hello Pink7777, Dr. Jalil Illan is an excellent choice. He is accredited by ACS, IFSO, ASMB, and SRC has accredited him as a Master Surgeon in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. The hospital where he performs surgeries, Hospital BC, is also a Center of Excellence in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery by SRC. Here are the links where you can verify the accreditations: ACS: https://www.facs.org/profile/56073599 IFSO: https://www.ifso.com/selim-jalil-illan-fraijo-4443/ ASMBS: https://asmbs.org/provider/jalil-illan-facs-e8YM/ SRC: http://www.surgicalreview.org/find-a-provider/specialties/ Please contact me if you have any questions. -
Hi NippitKT, Dr. Jalil Illan is a great option. He is accredited by ACS, IFSO, ASMB, and SRC has accredited him as a Master Surgeon in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. The hospital where he performs surgeries, Hospital BC, is also a Center of Excellence in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery by SRC. Very few hospitals and surgeons in the US have this accreditation and even less in Mexico.

Yesterday, Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2019 Maintenance: 57y / F / 5'4" / 22mo PO RNY / 132.2lbs Yesterday was an IF day for me and I actually did an OMAD thing at 20 hours.

I too have a 2 glass limit or it isn't pretty and very def. NOT classy. I can have more later, but it has to be over a 4-6 hour time frame well after the wine is gone.

December Surgery dates???
JediMom replied to Kimmerz23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Someone at work told me yesterday and today that I look like I’m getting sick but I feel completely fine. I was thinking maybe bc if the 2 week liquid diet. -
I had a MGB at Hospital BC 3 weeks ago. Everything went fine. I paid $140 RT airfare, $5900 for surgery ($4600 for sleeve) I stayed in hospital all week and even had a tour of Tijuana. I did have to pay $65 for blood thinners injections to take home but that's not too bad. They picked me up from airport and brought me back to the airport. If I would've had a companion, he/she would've stayed in the same room as me bcuz they have an extra bed in there for guests. I'm thinking about using them for plastic surgery once the weight loss is done making me look fantastic. Lol

Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
Sheribear68 replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Totally hear ya on the iron sleeve. Lol, I was eating salad within 4 weeks PO. Salad and loads of it. SMH. Anyway... here is what Friday looked like for me (disclaimer: it was vacation and we went to a really cool 3 house tour cocktail party that lasted for 3 hours) Friday am: no breakfast. Drank about 16 oz water to rehydrate from shenanigans from Thursday night. Friday lunch: 3-4 bites fried chicken, 1/2 cup slaw, 1/2 cup collard greens at a museum cafe. Friday 4:30-5:30pm. 1 large glass Chardonnay. Friday 5:45-8pm: spiked apple cider,gimlet, 1 dark and stormy (each house had a 1 cocktail/person limit) and some cheese, crackers, hard cured deli meats, 1/2 ginger snap, 1/3 chocolate brownie spread out between the different venues. Skipped the veggie platter as I judged it would take up too much room that could be used to hold alcohol. 🤣🤣 Friday night 8:30-10pm: 2 more glasses Chardonnay in our Airbnb, then bed. Zero nausea. Zero dumping. Zero hangover. Kind of scary, TBH, but I made sure that I ate small on the food bc there was no way I wanted to curb the beverages. Most days I didn’t even try to eat bf 11am though and my sleeve is still as “tight” as ever in the morning. -
Good Monday morning! ((hugs)) on the bloated tummy. My #2 train has been playing fast and loose with the train schedules. It keeps sending partial trains down the track thinking I will be fooled. But yeah...this isn't my first time conducting. LOL. So I feel ya on the hard tum! I was really good except for too much booze this weekend - until last night. We had fam over and I made our dad's meatballs and sauce, had a skinny Manhattan with orange bitters and had 2 glass of cab over the course of the evening. I have been up and down between 130.8-132. This morning I'm back at 131.4lbs. And yet...I know full well I have at least 1 more pound up north, stuck somewhere on the tracks. Let's just say with all the greens I've been eating, input is NOT anywhere equal to output. LOL. Yesterday, Sunday, Dec. 8, 2019 Maintenance: 57y / F / 5'4" / 22mo PO RNY / 131.4lbs B1-Flubber Protein Frappaccino #3 (thank god it's gone!)

So I was warned prior to RNY surgery to be aware of the emotional changes that come along with all the changes your body is going through. So, for the most part things have been good. No real emotional issues, supportive family. Surgery was 9-18-19. I am -62lbs. I am very proud of it. My family seems to be proud too, but my husband is like a double edged sword. He says I look good, but then complains if I ask to get a pair of jeans that fit better, or the fact that I need new underwear, or just looking at cloths in general. All of the sudden he hates every thing I say I like or really want. He says my tastes have changed... duh, Im dressing for different body size and type. I am not even in the plus sizes anymore. I am still dressing modest, not showing off skin... but seriously. I wanted a pair of boots, (western boots) he said why, you havent worn them before.... that is BS prior to gaining all of my weight I was jeans, t shirt, boots or tennis shoes all the time. Why all of the sudden is what style of cloths I like or want such a big issue? And its not just cloths... Family asking what I want for Christmas... I give suggestions then he huffs and puffs and is like ewe, why would you even like that? From patterns of dishes, to patterns on cloths, purses, shoes, wall hangings... WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG? Why is nothing I like acceptable anymore? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree... who is that beauty by your branches?! Thanks for saying that. Right now I’m currently VERY HAPPY with my size, but I’m almost equally UNHappy with how my hair/skin is looking. I’m glad that hubs is 7 yrs older bc otherwise I’d look like his mother ATM

I'm having a very hungry week. And I'm craving protein. Again with the craving protein. So I listened to my body and ate--exceeding 100g of protein which is so unusual for me. I'm wondering if it's my holiday SF Torani syrup and PP I'm having in my coffee. Normally during the week, I will mostly have black coffee sprinkled with cinnamon. But I've been having 2-4 oz of PP with SF Torani Pumpkin Spice and also Peppermint Syrup. I am still down at my low end of the window. This morning 131lbs even and suspect when I'm PP, I will be down at 130-ish. LOL. TMI sorry.

^^^^^This is truly profound. It IS a multi-factoral disease recognized by the AMA and ASMBS (sp? chemo brain catching me) and insurance board. Most bariatricians and bariatric surgeons readily admit (when asked) that this is a disease (obesity) and once MO and some say overweight not even obese, you will battle it for your entire life or suffer regain. So it's a case for us of being in a state of NED (like with my Stage 3C BC). I can never say I was cured. This surgery does not offer a cure. It offers a brief 3-5 year window to reset your body's metabolic thermostat to defend a lower set point. But the body is smart and wants to get back to the state it knows. Some studies show that the microvilli increase post RNY and DS to ease the malabsorption and take in more nutrients. All studies show as we heal, we are able to eat more and more and more volume to the point of 5 years out most of us will be eating at our pre-surgery volumes (or just about). That's why Dr. Weiner says that we should never buy into the myth of restriction and malabsorption. It's why we MUST learn new skills and behaviors with food and use the time to develop new food preferences and new gut biomes that crave more good foods than bad. So at best we are in Remission or NED (no evidence of disease). And the longer we can trick our body into staying in that state, the more chance we have of long term success. It's like pulling weeds. Pulling a couple of weeds each week? Meh. Totes doable. Weeding a 1 acre garden? Total bull crap! LOL. It will take huge effort!

Accredited hospitals and surgeons
"Henry" replied to drzrx's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Hi drzrx, I just wanted to let you know that BariatricPal MX has changed its name to Hospital BC. Dr. Illan is still the Medical Director is a Master Surgeon in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery by SRC. -
Mother: You’re too thin. Me: I’ve been this weight before & it wasn’t an issue then. Mother: You need to stop losing weight. Me: I weigh more than you did when you were in your 20s & I’m 3inches shorter. And I’m in maintenance. Mother: You don’t look like you any more. Me: I look like me just not as fat. Mother: I don’t know what to cook for you when you visit anymore. Me: Cook the same meals you always did. I just don’t eat as much. Mother: I don’t know who you look like anymore. Me: I still look like me just not as fat. And so it goes on. My mother has been supportive through out the process but this last month these conversations have been on a loop. Am I being overly sensitive that they are bothering me so much or am I justified to be fed up. Anyone else facing these sorts of comments from their loved ones?

Ok, so today I'm back down to pre-Fatsgiving weight of 132.2lbs. Am trying still to break the mythical envelope (130lbs). But clearly not trying TOO hard. However, 3 days of pretty good eating got me back in the saddle and weight came off. It's always scary to imagine the day when that happens, but the weight doesn't magically fall off any longer. I quake to consider that! Sunday, December 1, 2019 Maintenance, F, 5'4", 57yo, 21 m PO RNY, 132.2lbs B1 - 1 protein latte (1oz PP) + egg white puff with spinach and ham + radish mushroom hash L - Vegetable beef soup with spinach D - Cod Loin & shrimp piccata (unbreaded) with LO Greek Salad, steamed broccoli BS - 1 cheesecake bar + whipped cream + walnuts + sf Hershey's chocolate + sf Smucker's Caramel Syrup Daily Totals: 941 cals; 67g protein; 56g fat; 36g carbs; 4g fiber; 32g net carbs

Happened to me too and still happens but I learnt to not give a f**k and live my life.. scale is just a number, people always judge and comment stuff like it's their business to say something (but it's not!) "You're Too thin, you're too fat.. oh your weight is good but u got a belly.. try to loss that." They say these everyday.. they make unnecessary comments.. I understood this just a minute before my surgery.. bc I happened to understand how my life matters to "me". I only live once.. so why bother.. Baby go to the mirror and make peace with yourself again, dysmorphia is normal after gaining & losing weight and god has made surgeons if you're not happy with extra skin or anything.. No worries just try to start eating healthy again and get to love yourself again. [emoji173][emoji847] Sent from my SM-G935F using BariatricPal mobile app

Got through Thanksgiving with only slight discomfort-no hiccups! I went ahead and ordered a food scale to help me with amounts to better avoid any discomfort. I had to break down and order the Unjury unflavored since the clear protein drink I liked before my surgery now causes heartburn. I'm going to try it tonight or tomorrow morning.
I went to my brother's for dinner and was able to eat a little bit of mashed potatoes and a small amount of turkey. I prepared a plate of food for my husband and took it home for him, although a lot of it will be fed to our very spoiled baby, Molly. I am resisting the urge to get on the scale daily. Keeping the faith!!!
