so sorry SCG that she is ill

 

[getaclue]

So sorry scg. Do you have any idea what might be wrong?

 

[Alaskan]

I think Miss Piggy is close to 10 years old.

And I think SCG said she isn't even sure if Miss Piggy has ever laid a single egg.

I do know that they are very close, and Miss Piggy is most beloved and special.

 

[Alaskan]

SCG is very good with tube feeding and doctoring etc.... so I am sure if it is something that CAN be fixed, she will fix it.

 

[Latestarter]

Miss Piggy is very, very sick

So sorry SCG... I hope it's not terminal as I know she means the world to you.

deb, if you still want to diet, didn't you say you had an ADA cookbook? A lot of those recipes are delicious, pretty easy to make, and you can still lose the weight while maintaining correct sugar levels. You do have to pay a bit more attention to portion sizes, but it's better for diabetics to eat more frequent smaller meals, and snacks, than to focus on 3 main meals, and fewer snacks.

I will be down to five ounces at a time very soon.... the Gastric sleeve will leave me with a seven ounce stommach The doc says type 2 Diabedes and high blood pressure resolve them selves fairly soon after the surgery. By the first month its not unnusual to have lost forty pounds....

but here is the diet in general terms each doc and dietitcion will be different


Stage 1 – The first week after surgery

• Clear liquids only. These include:
  • Water
  • Decaf Tea
  • Sugar-free Posicles
  • Broth

Stage 2 – Week 2

• Full liquid diet with protein shakes.

Stage 3 – Week 3

• Soft-pureed foods. These include:
  • Soups
  • Scrambled Eggs
  • Cottage Cheese

Stage 4 – Week 4

• Soft foods.
  • Boiled chicken.
  • Fish
  • Cereal
  • Mashed potatoes.

Stage 5 – Week 5 and beyond

• Introducing real foods.
  • Introduce small amounts of foods.
  • Chew well and eat slowly.
  • Eat 3 small meals a day.
  • Eat a small, healthy, nutrient dense food as a snack if needed.
  • Get your protein but don’t forget vegetables and fruit.

Include within all that exercise... Walking is the preferred.... and what I Prefer.

its going to be somewhat difficult eating afterwards but From what I understand four ounce of yougurt will fill you up uncomfortably.

Of course there are vitimines and such but this is a Paradigm shift in life style Because this is what they are going to do to me....

Kind of scary from my end.... I have had more than one anxiety attacks over it... But at the rate I am going I will be dead of a stroke or heart attack.

And No This will not stretch out not withe this type and location of the surgery.

Gee I wore a bikini when I was 16. Afraid to come out of the house with it on but, I did have one.

That was me as well.... I usually wore the top and some shorts....
