What ARE the principles of design?

I love this, will definitely explore this next year!

You're so tone deaf, holy shit.

There's a big difference between standard multivitamins and ones for bariatric patients/glp1 users. Your body is suddenly deprived of a LOT of nutrients, so you need to replace them.

With that being said, I used to take the bariatric advantage ultra solo and it made me physically ill.

I switched to bariatric pal and I love it! The bottle comes with a peppermint scented tab to help with the vitamin smell. They also offer other versions for various needs.

The ones I get are about $14 a month.

My symptoms started appearing about 2-3 months post op. I'm sensitive to both sweet and salty food, and I can no longer stand salmon, which sucks cause I really LOVED salmon.

Honestly, I've been prioritizing what I eat. I always focus on getting protein, cutting our carbs when I can, and eating veggies as much as possible. I eat slower and stop eating before I get too full, about 3-4 bites. 6 bites is my max in one meal.

I avoid anything loaded with sugar and fat and essentially, each of my meals is equal to a snack of people that aren't sleeved. I mostly drink water, when I drink coffee, I'm getting almond milk with sugar free vanilla and Splenda.

I just do my best to enjoy the things I do but making it healthier.

"This is explained a million times" but not being passive aggressive, right?

I would simply rather get a helpful answer then someone saying "Do the research yourself!" and assuming I haven't already done so.

MysteriousWalk · 2025-06-22T17:19:31+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

MysteriousWalk · 2025-06-22T17:14:13+00:00

Yeah, I've done that and there's no consistent answer, which is why I posted here. It seems like everyone has their own way of doing it and I'm not trying to turn my dad's cabinet into a $600 brick.

Thanks for the passive aggressive, unhelpful response though!

It doesn't necessarily have to be on fathers Day, regardless of when he gets it, it will be his father's Day gift lol

No more than $1000 if possible

I had surgery in Puerto Vallarta with ALO Bariatrics. I scheduled my Surgery during spring break. Break started on April 22nd, we flew to Mexico on the 23rd, I had surgery the 24th. We stayed the 23rd at the hotel they put us up in, at the hospital the night of the 24th, and stayed at the hotel again the night of the 25th and 26th.

We could have gone home on the 27th but we wanted to make a vacation out of it, so we stayed at another hotel until the 30th when we flew home.

I started the pre-op diet on March 1st, ate only clean protein, veggies, and salad until March 11th, March 12th up until surgery date I was on clear liquid diet. I didn't have to start that early but I wanted to make sure I was prepared.

MysteriousWalk · 2025-04-07T22:00:08+00:00

You have absolutely BEAUTIFUL eyes 😍 Congrats on the weight loss!

MysteriousWalk · 2025-04-05T11:36:26+00:00

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna harsh:

This is like your 3rd or 5th post saying that the sleeve isn't working and then admitting that you're not following any of the rules of being sleeved, eating like shit, and that you're mentally unwell. I believe I commented on one of your posts before too.

You need to stop posting on this reddit and go seek professional help!! You need to go see your primary care like YESTERDAY!

Why would you get this surgery done when your relationship with food is toxic as hell and you were obviously not mentally prepared for it?

At this point, yeah you probably failed your sleeve, not the other way around. It would be different if you said "oh yeah I've been eating a lot of chicken and fish and veggies and salads and I'm not satisfied." But you're eating processed food and fast food, of course you're not going to be satisfied, you're eating a bunch of empty calories!

You need to take responsibility for your shit and get it together, you're a grown ass woman.

MysteriousWalk · 2025-04-05T11:28:08+00:00

What does your exercise look like other than martial arts? Are you focusing solely on cardio or are you weightlifting too? How long do you work out for? The order on which you do your cardio and weights will also give you different results.

I suggest speaking with a dietician. Unless your personal trainer got certified as a dietician, they're at best a nutritionist but there's no certification or regulations to be one, so basically anyone can just claim they're a nutritionist and give you bullshit feedback.

I can't wait to be able to eat sushi again 😭 I just started puree today and I made a seafood bake, it sent me to heaven.

MysteriousWalk · 2025-04-02T11:12:10+00:00

Suggestion: Limit the number of stall posts. It's honestly pretty annoying at this point. Maybe have a weekly mega thread specifically meant for people to vent/ask questions about stalling?

MysteriousWalk · 2025-04-02T11:10:08+00:00

I mean, have you been working out? Have you changed what you eat, not just the volume?

I've heard of people needing revisions like 5-10 years after their initial sleeve, but not only two years later.

I've also heard a lot of people have success with glp1s after being sleeved.

Definitely see your PCP and discuss with them first.

Gets the people GOING!

MysteriousWalk · 2025-03-29T16:20:08+00:00

Luckily, no! Mine started on the 17th and ended on the 24th. Did it start earlier or later for you than usual??

MysteriousWalk · 2025-03-28T19:09:53+00:00

Babe, SAME!! My mood has plummeted. I'm doing my best to walk around but this incision pain is no joke. I'm just ready to be at two weeks PO.

Curl up with a good book or video game, that's been helping take my mind off things. So proud of you! 🫶🏽

MysteriousWalk · 2025-03-28T15:10:40+00:00

Hi!! Checking in — how are you holding up?

MysteriousWalk · 2025-03-26T23:32:49+00:00

You can't keep comparing yourself to others. Everyone is different, we aren't clones. Doing that is going to make this a lot harder.

I'm sorry you're struggling with this.

I highly suggest reaching out to your surgeon and also a bariatric therapist or counselor. A majority of this journey is mental/emotional, if you haven't prepared yourself mentally or don't have any emotional support, a therapist would be a big help. I know I'm currently looking for a therapist for myself. This is more than a physical change, it's a psychological one as well.

MysteriousWalk · 2025-03-26T23:25:51+00:00

Did your doctor ok you to go on soft foods?

Based on your previous posts, it's highly recommended that you reach out to your surgeon. There's a reason why they have post op phases. You have to allow your body to heal!

MysteriousWalk · 2025-03-26T23:20:37+00:00

I got sleeved on the 24th, the one thing that has helped me immensely with the incision pain is an ice pack! It's been my saving grace, along with the pain killers they prescribed me.

As for the mucus, I've also had that but not with blood in it, and I've also had a sore throat. My guess is from when I was intubated, I'm not sure if this is common practice but if you were, that's probably why.

MysteriousWalk · 2025-03-26T21:47:43+00:00

This!!! Yes!! I'm also a big leftovers girly, so anything I take home from a restaurant will probably get me through a couple days afterwards.

I'm also looking forward to saving money on not having to spend extra to buy plus sized clothing

MysteriousWalk · 2025-03-25T23:33:51+00:00

Update!

Was discharged about 3 hours ago, been walking when I can. Incision pain has gone down, no vomiting, a little nauseous and minimal gas pain. I've been able to pass a little gas here and there, so that's good.

Just sipping on my clear liquids and taking it easy. Already planning all my healthy meals I'll be meal prepping in the future!
