I had surgery back in 2023 with hernia removal and then experienced terrible cycles. I had to get a Hysterectomy recently because it was so bad.

@GinaMarieUT2 жыл бұрын
Not at all!!! Here is why- with the standard DS, I heard a lot of horror stories with bowel movements and problems in that area and then with the sleeve- I heard people gaining weight back and it not being enough. For me, this was a mixture of the 2, and exactly what I wanted and needed. I knew they couldn’t just cut my stomach down with the sleeve- the my body would find a way to gain weight and (for me) I would need a little more help. You have to research and figure out what’s best for you- but I definitely do not regret my decision with this surgery. I’m so happy too because the choice of getting the right surgery for me, really stressed me out.

I am so lucky because I am in the two week pre-op diet and I get 4 oz of lean meat, .50 cup cooked veggies, 1 cup of raw veggies and .50 cup of fruit plus sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello and up to four protein shakes a day. I have lost almost 4 lbs but I had lost 21 lbs before this. I still have 8 days to go.

I’m so glad you liked it! I feel like, for me, I get so hyper focused and distraction helps with changing my focus with food. If you have a project you are deeply involved in- time flies. Also, you wouldn’t watch videos about drinking if you had a hard time (or needed to stop) drinking?! It sort of defeats the purpose. Haha

Gotta be careful with that jerky, some have very high sodium. I bought some jerky sticks where I only paid attention to the protein amount and when i ate the first one I couldn't finish it becuz it was too salty. I suffer from high blood pressure so that wasn't a good option for me. haha. i know this video is 3 yrs old but I'm seeking WLS tips cuz i've started my journey and I'm a month away from meeting the surgeon and shortly after that surgery i'm guessing.

Hair is going to fall out, not sure why any WLS patient is surprised about that, it does suck to lose big handfuls of hair. Mine came back about 8 years later. With the DS I anticipate I will lose it again.
@zenmaiden13 жыл бұрын
So true, hunger returns usually around 12 months from VSG. From zero to back to normal. Yes the thing that changes is your body the problems we have before are still there until we resolve them. I look forward to the DS this year revision post op almost 10 years VSG. Transfer addiction seems normal to me, but I prefer shopping! Best of luck hope you are doing well today!

How much weight did you loose in 14 days doing this diet and also did you had a schedule on when to eat ?
@GinaMarieUT3 жыл бұрын
I lost 27.6 lbs but had a lot to loose. It’s easier to lose a ton of weight when you weigh so much. I had NO schedule for eating. It was just about what I was eating. I didn’t starve myself- I seriously just was really restrictive on what I could eat. The only thing I made sure I got was 2-3 of my protein shakes (premiere protein) a day. Although that’s not clear- My doctor still wanted me to get protein and he allowed that while I did this. That was HUGE bc it helped with hunger.
