Hey 👋 Your stomach capacity may change over time. So the first 6 months may feel different from the next 6, etc etc Ah to be young and in love...You and your GF don't have to be on the same diet, but you do have to stick to yours. DO NOT switch to her diet unless your Surgeon agrees. So this is a where real life sneaks up on you and sadly can't always meal prep... When eating out, I ALWAYS ask for the plainest preparation possible (burgers: everything on the side no sauces, chinese food: just the meat and VEGETABLES- you knew that was coming 😅, mexican: no rice,chips or extra sauces & cheeses, etc.) This way i can try to estimate the cals in the food easier The hair loss is called Telogen Effluvium, consult- Dr. Google Body Dysmorphia likely will stick around maybe therapeutic treatment exist but I find photos help immensely because you can actually compare the differences Good Luck💚

Anytime I hear complements helps boost someone's positivity it reminds me of: “Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.” Proverbs 16:34 💚Congratulations💚

It feels so good to feel good about oneself! Enjoy your awesomeness (and the attention it brings) 😎

Thank you! Will do.

kc892020, Thank you for the information, it looks like we are having our surgeries a day apart, mine is the 14th. My bariatric team is also the ones treating my PCOS so I am lucky in that respect. I will be happy to get rid of the metformin, I have not seen any real difference with the spironolactone and I do not take progesterone. I was taking Victoza but ins quit paying for it. I also saw that you are from Ohio, I am originally from Ohio too. I hope you have great success, please let me know how it goes and if your PCOS symptoms subside.

Congrads - The comments about you looking more healthy and happy do feel good and I am a ice cold guy and it still makes me feel good, Glad you are having such good success wish you all the best

Definitely one of those Non-Scale Victories (NSV's). Congrats and good luck on your weight loss journey.

No, I haven't. However, my surgeon says that it's next to impossible to "stretch" the pouch. She says that's an urban legend perpetuated by non-doctors on the internet. I'd be interested to hear how they actually do that--please keep us posted.

I was told to get the Flintstones with 18% Iron they are chewable and to also not take them along with the calcium citrate to take then 2 hours before or after the calcium citrate. cause they lose their absorption

Ok.Thank you!! She just told me a multivitamin to get used to taking them & needed 18mg of iron
