If you remove everything. You'll eventually gain the wieght back. Your craving will be so bad that you'll give into. That's the reason why many patients regain weight.

@victoriahollister6875 you are correct. I wouldn't say it's a fix but I'll say if people get it, they need to change their mindset around food

We would suggest avoiding syrup unless it is a sugar free syrup. Syrup has a lot of sugar and is easy to consume more than the recommended serving size

Awesome for you but I fully disagree , I also have had decades of dieting and exercise and am now in a great place 18 months post rny I'm 56 and excited about where I am , the reason I disagree is I never had to eat lots to be obese nor did I ever have food addictions or eat junk food regularly , I was just fat right from about 3 years old , it's not an input output problem it's a processing problem

Yeah I disagree with you too. All wls is is long term portion control, that’s it. And to the contrary all carbs are not bad just like all fat is not bad. Your body needs carbs, fats, and proteins for a reason. It’s not that you have to forever give everything you like prior to surgery but the surgery is just a tool to help you learn to eat in moderation just like with everything else. A person could eat all the healthy food they want and still gain weight. Too much of anything is not good for you and that’s with anything in life. A lot of times once people lose a lot of weight they don’t even wanna eat as much sweets as they used to but even if you do every now and then it’s okay. Any diet or surgery has better long term success when the individual learns to eat in moderation. Good for you that you totally cut out all sweets, but the sweets themselves did not make you overweight but the fact that you couldn’t control yourself from eating them. You were eating the whole box of cookies instead of telling yourself I’m gonna just eat one and that’s okay that’s what happens to a lot of people. And some people are overweight actually hate sweets so who are you talking about saying ‘we’? Just because that is why you’re overweight doesn’t mean that’s why everyone else is. Some people are overweight due to hormones or medication. Nonetheless, congratulations on your journey and I’m not saying what you’re saying is wrong per se but people also have different experiences and can handle food and sweets differently.

@@firehorse5206 i really want to get the surgery but im worried ill always be hungry like i am right now

@BOO-sy2oz Go for it , it's life changing , hunger disappears for a few months afterwards then it does come back but you're easily satisfied and your metabolic system is drastically changed ( for the better )

Sometimes the food or eating disorder is a by product of other life circumstances.. If you get rid of the food .. but not what is causing your dependence on food .. then it is possible to fall into old habits ..

Because you dont fix your head with weightloss surgery only your stomach. Mind still wants the same and for some people mind is stronger then the will to change eating habits. If they could change the eating habits they wouldnt take the surgery in the first place.

Glad to hear that!

Glad it was helpful!

Hope it went well!

How did the surgery go? How do you feel?

Thanks for watching!

I agree had sleeve in 2018 got to a weight i was pleased with got horrible gerd only way to cure was to be revised to a bypass just had it a week ago and already losing and I can't eat so im like I don't want to get down more

@@justkesha87 so u had the sleeve done ND gain ur weight back then jus gt bypass? When can u eat solid food

@@queenbbeaute2654 not really gained my weight back I had gained about 15 pounds from my lowest weight but never gained my full weight back but my gerd was so horrible I was throwing up constantly for months so they revised me to a bypass from sleeve .. eating fully still hasn't come I eat fully for a person that's had a bypass but compared to others I don't still ear fully and about 2 or 3 months in you slowly eat more solids everyone's different tho

@@justkesha87 I want to eat some solids do u kno when I can eat like chicken wings mac n cheese and some sauces

@@justkesha87 I'm getting my surgery on Nov 8

That is not a problem in terms of eating, although we do not recommend these foods because they are high in carbs

What I would suggest is do the pre op or liquid phase of your diet again to help get yourself back on track. Stay on it for two weeks and then try readjusting your eating habits back to what you need to resume/regain progress.

Kim I'm not creator of this or anything but no, you shouldn't drink while you eat because it can a) be painful, b) takes up space that isn't food related, c) can cause food to slide through impacting absorption of nutrients.

I made the mistake of doing that once and it was painful. Like a bad case of heartburn.

Eat less protein ......😁

Did u had a healthy pregnancy?

During my nursing clinicals 22 years ago the high fat and bacon diet were very popular. And the cardiac ward was full of men in there 30rds. And fourties that were living these diets. Make sure there is not a family history of cornary artery diseases. To this day it is very hard for to allow my self to eat a lot of bacon and high fats. I just had the gastric sleeve procedure done April the 29th 2024 and no desire to put fat food in my stomach and expect any good outcome.

Thanks for watching! What other content would you like to see?

The important of taking your vitamins no matter how far you are out from surgery. Making sure you are taking the adequate amount for what surgery you had. If you are taking another vitamin... making sure it’s doing what it need to do to replace what the body is missing.

@@sonjiabush9797 Hey Hon, I just wanted to make sure you saw this video Morgan did on vitamins. It's great! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mKioec2EkrmbcXU.html

Yes, those can be substitutes for meat options just be sure of the carb content. Sometimes veggie "burger" will be made with quinoa and other grains. Also, beware of the "meatless" meat options as they tend to be overly processed. We recommend eating a whole-foods plant based diet if you are trying to avoid meat.

What wls did you have?

@@deno9607 bypass

Is there a difference between bypass and the sleeve and when can u eat solid foods

Does it hurt like u need to 💩 or sharp pains? How many months were u post op when posted

Maybe consider the other options. I believe Bypass has the most side effects. Like I got the sleeve and although I made a lifestyle change, the bypass seems like so much more

I had a vertical sleeve just 6 days ago. I sort of knew what to expect because I have 2 family members who had the gastric bypass procedure. Although there are distinct differences between the two, all bariatric procedures are designed to help you keep the weight off. But you have to follow the rules and if you don't, you will regain--not because the procedure didn't work but rather you failed to follow the rules. Before surgery, I was put on a strict liquid high protein diet where I drank the protein shakes, water, unsweetened tea, and Crystal Light. My doctor told me that losing around 30-35 pounds will help my liver become more supple and more easily handled during surgery, as it must be lifted to get to the stomach. Now post-op, I have about 2 more weeks of liquid before I can have something as simple as a soft scrambled egg. The rules are very restrictive to help you heal post-op, but just know that they are temporary. If you intend to keep your weight off once you lose it, you need to decide if you can follow these temporary rules. It's great you lost 30 pounds, however, do you have a plan to get to your goal weight if you don't have the surgery? Bariatric procedures are tools that help morbidly obese people lose and keep off weight because they've been unable to lose through diet and exercise. Really think candidly about your history of obesity and what your best options are. Try to see yourself post-op, losing the weight and continuing to lose because you're not as heavy, and you have the energy and ability to exercise. Think about what you want out of life and if having the procedure will help you get there. If your answer is yes, then enlist the support of your family and friends to help you through the difficult aspects of it. Surgery may not be for you, and there are mental health professionals you can speak with about your history with food and your present challenges. This is why a psychological evaluation is required for all bariatric surgery candidates because the procedures require changes to your manner of thinking and force you to confront risky behaviors. If you have the surgery and think you're going to be able to emotionally eat or put no thought into what or how much you eat, think again. I wish you the best. Be well.

Thank you both for your responses. I have jumped past the fear I initially had. I had alot going on in my life and the nutrition class I went to completely overwhelmed me. I spoke to my doctor since and he helped me alot. I have lost more weight, I'm doing way better and he was shocked to see my progress going so fast. I get surgery June 30th. So all the prayers would be greatly appreciated !

@@TheirMommy589 you're going to do amazing! In the beginning, it's overwhelming but trust me, it's so worth it. You'll get used to the changes and ultimately, you'll start to make better decisions and everything

@@jenna4628 thank you so much! I'm excited but also very nervous !

I had the sleeve one year ago I can't do fast food fries cause of the grease they are fried in. I can do air fried or oven baked only. Hope that helps

That is true to some degree but most bariatric patients also suffer from a metabolic disorder that prevents them from losing a significant amount of weight. Here a great blog that details why bariatric surgery helps patients lose weight: bcofa.com/why-it-is-difficult-to-lose-weight/

@@LiveHealthyMD thank you because eating well does NOT always equate to weight loss. Especially if you have alot to lose.

Of coarse. But who can eat like that who has an eating disorder without the surgery

@@ColinUnger I don't have an eating disorder. I just have diabetes.

@@josesolismusic if obesity is not the cause of your diabetes i wouldn't expect that this procedure would cure your diabetes.

Spicy foods are fine to eat after weight loss surgery as long as you are not prone to acid reflux, heartburn, or an ulcer

We instruct patients to eat low carb and the keto can be a good option after WLS but we do not specifically teach keto to patients

What are your thoughts on Skyr (Icelandic Yogurt, though the consistency and taste is IMO much closer to Sour Cream)? Massive protein, about 11% of the weight is protein. Also Parmesan, Swiss and Edam cheeses are fairly high in protein (though also fat, generally in about equal amounts).

It’s not about the portion but rather the variety of foods.

Just be sure you are avoiding high sugar and high-fat foods and you should be good!

Your diet will not affect your recovery after surgery. However, if you are a weight loss surgery patient we do not recommend you eat sweets (or at least eat them in moderation)

@@LiveHealthyMD Thanks for replying,i am now in 4th week

😂😂😂😂😂

Yes she did

And that's about right I cannot eat more than a half a cup of food at a meal and I don't always finish that

Lol

Yes, i can only eat two tablespoons of it.. if i eat extra it would come right up my through.. there’s no enough space in my stomach

We have another channel we are posting on more frequently - you can find it here: kzfaq.info/love/8Q8MRYed4fZ47HTiV2SpHw

@@LiveHealthyMD thank you

Yes, 2/3 cup!

Me too ugh

Me too i want a popeyes chicken sandwich

@@MarA-te5jc I actually had Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich meal.. small portion weighed out to about 3.5 oz then gave the rest to my friend. Deffff worth it!!

@@SICK562CKRISS gives me hope

I am 3 weeks post op, and my dietician has not mentiones anything about eating low fat cheese, i am following my diet to the T but would love to add some cheese to my food, how soon can you/did you have cheese in your diets? Same thing goes for lettuce and salads

Why do you say this?

Same 😂😂

I order one. Yes, just one, and pick at the meat. I don't have room for the corn tortilla. Just chew slowly and a lot before swallowing. ☺ Great source of protein!

After weight loss surgery, your stomach will be smaller and therefore you will feel full faster. So in fact you won't want to / be able to feast on a ton of food

You can...but in super small portions spaced out over time. Example: 1 oz turkey with gravy at 9 am, 2 tbl of mashed potatoes with bacon bits at 12 pm, 1 oz of green bean casserole at 3 pm, small slice of ham at 6 pm, and 1 tbl spoon of stuffing at 9 pm. It's all about spacing and portion control and listening to your body. It lets you know when its full. :)

Yes you can...

The cool thing about the surgery is that it shrinks your stomach capacity. So when we talk about smaller portions, although it seems like not a lot at all you will be shocked when you eat a small meal and feel extremely full. One of the biggest challenges our patients have faced prior to having surgery is maintaining their weight loss. They will say they have tried diets and failed at them to only regain more than they originally weighed. Most often, bariatric patients have a metabolic disorder that makes it harder to lose weigh. So not only is surgery forcing you to eat less (due to a smaller stomach size) there is also a change in your anatomy and hormones that affects your hunger

@@LiveHealthyMD surly its a mental issue? Having surgery is a tool but the real challenge is the urge to overcome the desire for food
