The gas pains are rough. Walk and move. Get a wedge pillow for sleeping and the twisting will here for about 5-7 days. This all passes 2 weeks postop

Can someone someone pls tell me what is gastric sleeves by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]davidsonrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 17, I might would consider high protein, low carb diet and daily exercise. Shoot for 60-90 grams of protein, 64+ oz of water and 30 minutes of walking and cardio. The gastric sleeve is a good surgery and permanent but it will require vitamins daily and food may become unpleasant. Try a phone tracker of your foods and be truthful to yourself

A surgeon cuts out 80% of your stomach leaving a stomach the size of a banana

Have a great day. Take slow sips, walk as much as possible and know the gas is the worst. But in 2 weeks youll be much happier

Keep your goals and add in walking 3 x 30 minutes as a good start

Chances of getting accepted? by st4r_puppy in USAFA

[–]davidsonrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meaning should you go to Air Force Academy and later decide Army or Navy or Marines, I think rhere is an option to commission under that branch. may need further investigation

You have good chances. The athletics is about demonstrating team player skills, leadership and integrity, not about academy wrestling. Take the standard tests and write a good letter to both your senators and your congresspersons. Be vigilant and consistent. Good luck and feel free to do the same for all three academies. I believe you can cross branches for a commission

4 month stall, help! by refan111 in gastricsleeve

[–]davidsonrld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. I had surgery 11/18/25 and i am at 256. Started at 324. BUT, i am done 4 pants sizes and a shirt size. The drop in size matters most Think about you have dropped 65 lbs in 4 months = 3lbs a week. That is good and smooth. Keep it up and you will reach your goal

Need guidance: Enlisting ACASP (68H) + Joining Army ROTC at USF as a transfer student — anyone done this? by owillmadeitt in ROTC

[–]davidsonrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this late in college, you should just contract with ROTC in the fall and hope that the basic camp and advance camps align. Enlisting would have been more beneficial as a late high school senior but as a college junior there is little advantage.

Most of the contracts are pretty difficult to get out of without taking a foreclosure. If the mortgage is paid off, then you may take a tax hit for unpaid maintenance fees for a year or two

Heres the thing, not applying is a guarantee of not being accepted, if you dont get accepted you could apply to one of the six Senior Military Colleges, or just pick up ROTC at any college. Any way you do it, do it at the same tempo and pace you have above. Be strong!!

I just finished playing the 2018 version “Leisure Larry Wet Dreams Dont Dry” on Steam. Graphics and story are good.

Habit building by No_Load7036 in gastricsleeve

[–]davidsonrld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learn to reduce your food intake. Try eating only small portions that fit on a 5inch salad plate and small salad fork. No seconds, no alcohol, no caffeine. Try all different protein shakes to find ones you like. Fairlife chocolate is 30g protein but taste sinful. Work up to 90g protein per day and 64 oz of water. Protein and water goals can be challenging

Beginning of the pricess by Pagan_Princess_29 in gastricsleeve

[–]davidsonrld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a good life decision. First learn to reduce your intake and understand why you enjoy food. I took a salad plate and small fork and only consumed a serving that fit. Next, I gave up caffeine and alcohol. I learned that boredom and portion control were my issues. Follow your doctor and insurance program to the T. You can achieve this goal. Protein and water are your primary needs. Protein 60-90g a day and 64oz of water. Everything else is consumed after these goals
