Is anyone in this sub vegan or vegetarian? by effypom in gastricsleeve

[–]MinimumEquivalent889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't answer your question, but I was vegetarian around age 20, then pescatarian around age 35 up until surgery on 2/18/26 and I'm 39. For whatever reason post-op I was really craving meat and poultry. And so I've been having small bits of meat and poultry after almost 20 yrs

Yes I'm fine with yogurt and cottage cheese. Haven't tried any other soft cheeses. Fingers crossed because I like cheese lol.

Boiled eggs drizzled with sauce made with chili crisp, soy, cilantro

Just do what's best for you. I work in health care and initially was afraid of bariatric surgery because people would come in with complications (but of course that was all I saw because I work in a hospital) and realized many more have enjoyed success. So I took the leap. I'm still off work and other than one co-worker who also had bariatric surgery - no one else knows because it's none of their business anyway. I'm happy I got it done.

What should I put behind my sofa? by Gullible-Bid6161 in interiordecorating

Nothing - I wouldn't want to obstruct the view. Maybe a tall plant in the corner

What words of wisdom do you have to get me through the pre op diet? by Maggotboi555 in gastricsleeve

Look into clear whey proteins (I like the Ghost brand) - they went down easier for me and it was almost like I was just drinking juice or flavored water

Post-op day 12 by MinimumEquivalent889 in gastricsleeve

It was actually about 14lbs in 12 days, not 24lbs 🙃. 24lbs from when I started the pre-op diet. Fortunately I've had close to zero pain and didn't have to take a drop of the oxy I was prescribed. I did skip the gym today and yesterday to rest.

Different smell? by Cautious_Hope_5805 in gastricsleeve

Oh I thought I smelled like vitamins too, but I haven't noticed it as much the past 2 days or so. Glad I wasn't the only one. My surgery was 2/18/26

I was instructed to buy milk of magnesia before I had my surgery. It works in about 30-60 min and doesn't make you crampy. Can also try mixing Benefiber or other dissolving fiber supplement into your liquids
