Thank you so much [emoji4]

I'm just shy of 3 months out. 10/217 was my surgery day. I did pretty well for the first 8 weeks or so. For the last two weeks or so, I seem to be losing and gaining the same one or two pounds. I know I weigh too often. I need to stop doing that. I do feel like I am shrinking. My clothing is almost falling off of me and everyone is commenting on my weight loss. I'm just not seeing in on the scale. Would love to hear from anyone who has worked through this issue. I am trying to remain positive and focus on my protein and water.

First time posting here- Had my revision from lap band to RNY yesterday. It’s not as bad as I had built up in my head. Took a while for anesthesia to wear off. I had ice chips first, then water, and a sugar free popsicle last night. Everything is going down ok. The gas pain is the worst part but it’s tolerable. Walking helps. Hoping to go home today. The hospital bed is uncomfortable and people come in and out of my room constantly, so I’m looking forward to a good night sleep. The actual incision sites are not very painful. Feels like I did a bunch of sit ups. Peeing feels a little weird. Who knew we used so many abdominal muscles to pee. I also have cotton mouth, which I’m hoping gets better. Here’s to a new me for the new year.

What kind of broth? I use this stuff called "Better than Bullion" that's pretty tasty. I put a lot of water in it, too, so it's not too salty. Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

It sounds like you're about to sabotage yourself again. What if, this time, you broke that pattern & achieved a different result?

I burst into tears at commercials, got irritated with everyone, and had sinister secret second thoughts about cancelling surgery thoughout my liquid diet. When you stop consuming sugar and your body starts to starve...it forces your liver to do this magical process of turning fat into glucose...so glucose in your blood can power your body. (your brain lives on glucose...so when the glucose gets low...your brain is the first to get twitchy) Your liver uses it's private stores in the liver first...which is why the diet causes the liver to shrink a little as the liver gets called on to make the glucose. My liver was angry.....What in the hell? LOL. You want me to do...what? Do you have any idea how long it's been since I've MADE glucose for you? We don't make sugar...we EAT sugar, remember? Have a donut! Man, it was hard. Being glucose deprived is coorelated with all sorts of interesting things...lack of impulse control, bad judgement, bad temper... it really does affect your head. Try to have more trust in your usual self....the self that has been working toward this goal for months...the self that has worked really hard to get here. Trusting your current self....is not the best idea. You'll make it. And you'll look back and go...Man that was hard! So glad I stuck to it, though!

Best option = none. If you don't drink and it's not important to you....maybe just abstain. If it is something you enjoy and don't want to give up....here's some advice from google: The best form of alcohol, from a calorie perspective, are the classic spirits. We’re talking about tequila, rum, vodka, whiskey, and gin. One ounce of any of those classic spirits contains around 64 calories, most of which come from the alcohol content. So, maybe a small margarita, or any of these spirits mixed with low calorie diet juices? Good luck.

Doing well. First days were a little uncomfortable due to the gas they put in you and not all comes out. Just make sure to walk as much as possible . You get excited over the small things like I had my first BM today (yeah for me) You will all will do great!!! SW:245 Sleeved :Dec 19, 2017
