  1. my doctor said about 4 to 6 months. With weight loss after 6 months I had a beer with my brother-in-law, make it about 1/2 to 3/4 of a beer and I was very buzzed. a margarita maybe to much so expect A) you might get very drunk and B) so soon out, sick to your stomach.

    Forget the drink, have a good time nobody will mind if you drink Water.


  2. I also went Kaiser, pretty quick process, my delay was my schedule not theirs. No special preop diet just had to show weight loss which really isn't all that bad and helps with post surgery to maintain.

    Think best way to go than those who think flying to Mexico for a quicky works, Kaiser teaches you how to do it right and the cost was $0.

    Good luck on you surgery.


  3. Not even two weeks out, I wouldn't worry at this point. You should be into mushy phase soon so enjoy having your meal with him. Physical activity will take a bit, it took me 4 weeks before I felt like doing anything physical.

    Give it a good month and your life will be going back to normal


  4. May not be stall you may have maxed out surgery results. Pre surgery 235 ideal 150. 50% expected surgery loss of 40 lbs now 190. That is it. My goal 180 may not get there can't reduce food intake more. Exercise will not do it alone as you

    metabolism adjusts to caloric intake. Take some time off add calories then start again to jump start metabolism again.

    Reality you may be at surgery weight. I did that at month 4 now ending 6. Not a stall I reached Eden


  5. Hey cpt i have to get rid of my machine with all attachments and new unopened mask and filters plus humidifier. Kaiser didnt want it back and said to put it up on eBay

    Glad you had success with it, I woke up over 100 times an hour got better than normal

    Good luck sleep center was negative with me yammering less than 5% ever get off but my doctor and I confident and got rid of it after study took more than 20% more like 30% from 305 down to 200 lbs


  6. from the male perspective, I have the same problem with my wife. She likes to yell, scream and I ate a lot from emotions caused by her that I allowed to affect me.

    With therapy I learned to not let her get to me and now 6 months postop and 45 pounds lighter, goal weight, she is now losing weight and because I am calm, ignoring her when she screams, she is calming down.

    Hang in there and realize you have the right to your feelings and stand your ground. You have support here but if you need some help to cope, get a good psychologist or therapist to help you cope.


  7. Everyone a little different, I was drinking pretty good after getting out of hospital, more than sipping. This is not like bypass surgery, you still have a stomach the size of a medium to large banana. Just don't drink more than 30 minutes before eating, so you can eat, during meals so you don't fill up on liquids, and not to soon after to prevent washing the food through the system before minerals and Vitamins absorbed since you are taking in so little after surgery and for next 4 to 6 weeks.


  8. Just tell them you have stomach flu and make it simple, it will explain why you are not eating. They will likely not press for anymore information.

    Sorry you will miss your prom, it is possible you can make it (I was in on a Thursday and could have been out on Saturday but opted to stay another day as I wasn't drinking Water (iv keep me hydrated so I didn't feel like drinking) otherwise I was fine to walk, drive, etc.

    it is expensive gamble to get tickets and a dress. but if you do go just stick to Water and no snaking.
