Fist HELLO after 13 days of procedure

I will be another one who tells you smoking can be really bad. A good friend of mine smokes for as long as I know her. I used to be a sker, but i quit a long time ago. Every so often I would bother my friend telling her it's bad for her and she needs to quit, and every time she told me she knows and it's ok with the risks. Except this year she got diagnosed with stage 4 very aggressive lung cancer, that spread to her liver. Her doc told her to clean her affairs and get ready... she is a wonderful person, hard worker, someone who loves life. She never thought she would get cancer, there is no family history of cancer. And besides smoking m she took care of herself, her health and her diet. Her husband, also smoker, had 2 heart attacks, melanoma and a mild stroke.

I think juice and milk are not good beverages to consume so early as both have a good amount of sugar. Especially juice. I still barely drink either.

Increase the water, filtered preferably. Maintain the diet you are prescribed.. at this stage getting in your fluids and protein is the most important thing. avoid carbs. juices will increase your hunger and slow wt loss . use some protein supplement to add to milk or yugurt.

I never smoked, so i do not know that struggle.

It does increase inflammation and will slow your results.

You must choose how important weight loss truly is to you. You must decide if you will take care of this new tool , gastric surgery has given you. Now is the time you will either choose to comply or not. it will affect the rest of your life. Choose wisely.

BTW, i am more than 20 years post WLS. You can do this Dr has done his part NOW is the time for you to take advantage of this opportunity.
