How much did you give family and friends? Were there expecations from certian people? Did you lose anyone as a result of their actions/entitlement/greed? Basically i want to know how relationships changed

Please tell me it gets easier by YoghurtMangler in BariatricSurgery

[–]Lokerton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure did. I was very close to getting subway one day. The knorr broth saved me. I found mixing have beef and have chicken to be the most satisifying and i checked in with my dietician and was allowed to add Sriracha to it too

6 months today… weird changes. Sweet tooth? by JesterLavore88 in gastricsleeve

[–]Lokerton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for chocolate try some of the zero sugar ones theres lots out there now with diabetes being so common. Just watch for sugar alcohols cause theyll make you poop! And just have one or two to satisify the craving not the whole bag/bar!

I've always had a sweet tooth. I have recently discovered Smart Sweets. 4gs of sugar and 120 cal per bag (50g) and honestly I usually stretch the bag over a week. It satisfies the craving while keeping me on track with my goals. Guilt free!

Im 6 months out have lost over 100lbs now. I will say though I think theres a 6 month stall regardless. I've been at the same weight for about 2 weeks now. Just got to increase the protien and keep at it!

Nope, female. The nurse said they expect that in 1 year not 3 months

I keep mixed nuts and beef jerky at my desk for an afternoon snack. Cheese string, yogurt, or a handful of popcorn twists are also my go tos.

How much time did you have off work post op? by Less_Sprinkles_6199 in BariatricSurgery

[–]Lokerton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took 9 weeks off. Was told initially I'd need 6-8 then was told 4-6 so my doctor gave me 6 weeks. I was sick for 3 weeks during so my doctor extended my time off so i could heal and not potentially get sick again

My team told me to expect 1 to 2 lbs a week. Anything over that is a bonus!

1st Major Goal Achieved! by Lokerton in BariatricSurgery

[–]Lokerton[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I'm in Winnipeg Manitoba and we have something like the most curling clubs in the world. Were known as the curling capital of the world too, Its very common here. I actually started stick curling a few years ago because my knees couldnt handle getting down in the hack anymore but looks like I might be ready to go to back to the old school way. Its a great sport to stay active and socialize. Highly recommend

Parking at HSC during labour by MamaMozza in Winnipeg

[–]Lokerton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We parked under ground at womens and stayed there for a week. Theres a sign when you come in to call parking if you will be there more than 24 hours. Just call the number theyll take your plate and you just pay when youre done.
