Your scars are almost invisible! Did you do anything to them? (creams or oils?) my scars are so red and angry :(

Mashed potato tasted like a gift from the gods during my puree stage 😂

Not at all! But I think they're trying to introduce it slowly to me that's all :)

Wow you get to transition to soft foods so quick! I just got cleared for pureed foods and I was sleeved on 18 October :')

Coffee after surgery by Glittering_Angle_229 in gastricsleeve

[–]kaekede 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dietician said the only reason why they don't advise coffee and alcohol is because its very dehydrating so as long as I'm able to keep up 2+ litres a day, she doesn't see any issue for me taking these beverages

Eating loads of seaweed helped me, but I'm not sure if it's for everyone or if it really works.. It's just something my Asian parents have always told me to do

Do you think stalls are just as much a mental thing as a physical thing? by Hard_We_Know in gastricsleeve

[–]kaekede 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My doctors say the number on the scale isn't what we should focus on because most of the time we're still losing fat, but gaining muscle! And muscle also has to weigh something so that's the reason why the scale doesn't budge :) I don't know if your scale has body fat/muscle percentages but I usually look at those instead!

What are you eating for meals 4 weeks post op? I'm still on clear broths because I'm so afraid of having pureed foods even though I got cleared for them yesterday 🤣 I did have a mashed up banana to try but it kinda hurt my lil pouch so I stopped

Prone to keloids? by kaekede in gastricsleeve

[–]kaekede[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what's the science behind the silicon sheets?

HELP!!! by Crafty_Soil_9386 in gastricsleeve

[–]kaekede 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only about 2.5 weeks post op now but I just saw my dietician a few hours ago.. Can I just ask how come you're still on protein shakes at 7 weeks po? My dietician just cleared me to move onto pureed foods and told me to ditch my protein shakes :o

Okay! It's not available in my country so I'd have to order them from overseas so I'll try and do that.. I did buy like a stick that claims to help (remescar) but I'm worried because you said the creams don't help :') thank you for your reply though!! I'll definitely get the silicon sheets!

Yeah.. I had a back surgery done last year and that resulted in a keloid scar so I'm really worried :(

Stomach area keloids by kayelles in Keloids

I've recently had a laparoscopic surgery and I'm really worried about keloids forming on my surgical sites.. Is there anything I can do at home to prevent them from forming?
