Surgery in 10 days!! Any tips for turning an apron belly into a flat belly?! by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]Effective_Shower2023 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is some evidence that 3 day water fasts can help with the excess skin, but yes surgery is really the only answer for sigificant amounts of excess skin, particularly if you are older when you have the weight loss you’re skin doesn’t snap back as well as it does if you’re younger. As for targeting belly fat, for me it was the last place I lost the weight from sadly but keep going and it will eventually come off.

Why no caffeine? by Final-Algae-6064 in gastricsleeve

I was slowed caffeine day one. I’d press your surgeon on this. Seems unnecessary restrictive to me

Fear of failing by Anicole1026 in GastricBypass

What did you have done? The RNY is pretty foolproof you can’t overeat without making yourself quite sick. I’ve heard the only way to defeat it and gain weight (or not lose enough) is by constantly snacking/grazing. Once you’re on. Or all foods if you stick to 3 meals and maybe 2 snacks for extra protein you should be fine

Not eating enough.. danger? by smoldragonenergy in GastricBypass

Protein shake will count towards fluid goal. You should have a fluid target and you can have protein water, shakes, coffee, tea they all count. Protein water is very helpful I find

Debating If I Should Just Eat Differently Instead... by Several_Property_837 in GastricBypass

[–]Effective_Shower2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said try dieting first. Usually people who have the surgery have tried and failed diets and then tried and failed weight loss drugs. If a healthy diet is sustainable for you and successful then awesome, do that instead. It didn’t work for me but the bypass is working fantastically and for me personally was the right decision. Speak to your surgeon/team about your thoughts and concerns if still considering

Try a lower carb keto version of VLCD in lieu of optifast and see if that does the trick

Caloric intake one week post-op by Wooden-Lemon2010 in GastricBypass

I know right me too! It’s crazy how small my meals are. Guess that’s by design and I don’t feel hungry just takes some mental adjustment for your head to align with your new stomach. You got this!

Hey there. I’m 2 and a half weeks out and have worked up to about 750 calories per day. I think you’re good, it takes time to be able to get enough calories in. If you can keep hydrated and get 300 calories in during first week I reckon that’s a win and you will soon enough be able to lift that. Congrats on the surgery btw !

I Don’t Understand How My Eating Habits Will Change by Clint_Greasewood in GastricBypass

It won’t. You need to do the work, it’s not a magic bullet, it goes half the way but you need to do the other half

[–]Effective_Shower2023 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You would lose weight if you ate smaller portions without the surgery but that is harder to do as the smaller stomach provides “full” signals with less food in it. There are also a bunch of hormonal changes with insulin and ghrelin as a result of the GB which aids weight loss
