Don't chase the scale. It's a bad habit to get into. I know we want to see it going down nonstop but it just adds stress. If you're going to weigh yourself do it at the same time of the day, like first thing in the morning. Weight will flux like the others said depending on what you've eaten, how much you've had to drink, etc.

Mine will be outpatient! My date is March 17th. I know several people that have done it outpatient and it's not a big deal. I will go in that morning and be out later on that day. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I have a nose/mouth mask because I can't breathe through my nose at all. You should be able to adjust the humidity levels and a heated tube really helps.

I think everyone has abdominal pain after surgery. As always, ask your doc about any concerns. You should have been given discharge instructions for what to watch out for. Agonizing pain, fever (above 102f), fainting, uncontrollable nausea/vomiting, etc. warrants an ER visit. Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App

Love the enthusiasm for biking and wanting to get out there after surgery! How much biking do you do now? How quickly are you going to have to go? A month is still pretty close to surgery. A lot of your body is still healing and it is better to wait than to risk an injury. So my guess is, sadly no. Unless you are doing century rides now. The good news is that rides after the healing process are going to be so much easier. Ultimately this is up to you and your surgeon/team. I wish you all the best and good weather!

There is rarely a max limit to consumption. However, the body can only absorb so much.. The rest is wasted The key is to exceed the minimum (60g)..

@mylighthouse you were so so helpful!! Thank you!! I'm gonna try and choke down that protein drink! Hahaha!! I know it's important but I just can't stomach it. I was hoping I could get it from my food sources alone but just like you said, I don't think I'm eating all 60 grams. [emoji20] I'm gonna try & up my fluids to the 64+ & get that protein shake down whether I like it or not. Hahaha! Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

U may need a blood test. U sound anaemic. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

60g is the least. Up to 100g is fine. Really the more you consume isn't going to hurt. It'll simply make you fuller longer. You just want to make sure you're staying under the carb and calorie max.
