I clicked on the topic thinking it was about almonds or walnuts, you know, those kind of nuts lol Im always finding surprises on here lmaooo 😂😂🤣🤣

Im still cooking the same unhealthy way but for myself going to fill up on shrimp and chili - No way I am eating wings and hot dogs and chili and chips - But will be a ton of it here for my unhealthy friends - I am doing a taco bar which i do every year so i will pick at the shrimp, meet and the taco fixins

I experienced some pain for the first few days. I was given pain meds to help control it though. The pain doesn’t last long and the surgery is well worth it!

Fantastic tip! This coming week I'm going on a day trip down the coast with a friend and we'll be eating out for lunch at a nice restaurant. If they offer that option I'm going to do that!

My family loves to go out to eat, so I've had to develop several strategies that I employ (depending on the restaurant and who I'm with): Offer to share a meal Order an appetizer (this can be troublesome because they can often be fried or covered in cheese) Order a kids meal (most restaurants will allow this, BUT it's also a risk because a lot of restaurants have unhealthy kids meals like chicken nuggets, french fries, mac&cheese) Order a side dish (You can usually find relatively healthy side dishes, they won't be high-protein, but it may be the best alternative depending on type of restaurant) Ask for or bring your own "to go" containers. Lastly, and this was my newest revelation: some restaurants allow people to "add on" protein/meat to an existing meal. EX: my husband ordered a regular meal and we "added on" 4 grilled shrimp. This was PERFECT for me. I had the shrimp and ordered a side of broccoli. Best meal EVER!

With liquid diet, then soft foods diet, etc., how did you not lose wt? We're not even allowed bread or beans or fruit with skins or rice until afterc4 mos. The average is to lose 30 lbs in the first 6 wks. Having sugar and eating everytime there's room in your banana stomach will stop wt loss. You need to wat 2-3 hrs between meals.

I have been taking meds for bipolar for a number of years. Took MMPI-2 as part of my psych eval and showed I am totally "normal". Really shocked my psychologist. I will stay on meds though to be sure I stay stable. If you have mental health issues, they just want to be sure that you are: (1) stable on meds and continue under treatment (2) Addressing any eating problems. (3) You have adequate social support (family, friends, church, etc.) I was pretty stressed about psych eval because my history. Don't stress about it. If you have a current therapist, see if your bariatric center will accept psych eval by him/her. Who knows you better? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

It will not disqualify you as long as you are receiving treatment and the issues are well managed. welcome and good luck!

I really thought we had put all the "you are so skinny, are you sick" comments behind us. Apparently not. My mom, MY MOM! came over today with the specific intention to tell me that she thinks I am too skinny and to stop losing weight. I had dropped off some dessert a her place the other day and she said she had to come over to tell me that she is worried because she thinks that I am even skinnier than over the Xmas holidays. First, I stopped losing weight 6+ months ago. Second, I am actually 6 lbs heavier than I was over xmas (I had lost some weight after my PS, and have since gained it back), so I don't know what she is talking about. Third, I look awesome. 🙄
