And call your insurance and file a quality of care complaint too. Call customer service

Omg I hope you walked out how inappropriate how damaging. One hell of a bedside manner.
If I were upset as you sound is be on the AMA website and filing appropriate complaint and finding a new doc who can relate to my knee condition with the compassion required of a physician.
What an ahole

I definitely don't take that long. I'd say I only take slightly longer than the "average" person would to finished my pittance of food. I guess I need to slow down. I measure out all my food in advance and weight everything, though sometimes if it's something like a little sandwich it's more than 1/4 cup. I should be more careful.

I'm a year out. I drank wine right up to surgery and waited about two months before picking it up again. When I did I failed to consider my reduced tolerance. Now a days I have a glass with dinner but it takes a good three hours to get through. I often Water it down so I don't make a spectacle.

Trust me...the feeling will end and then the real work will begin.....Take note of how you are feeling and how much you can put in your stomach when this happens. If you feel uncomfortable eat smaller meals 6 times a day until you fully heal...
Right now is the honeymoon period. Everything is geared to lose. You are swollen and tight. It will reverse in the sense that you will easily be able to fill yourself with up to a cup or more and then it will be very important what you eat.
Some people sneeze or hick-cup or their nose runs....Now for me I get no signs that I am getting full. Just have to learn to listen carefully to my stomach.....
This is only temporary and the feelings in there will change. Just keep doing what your doing and don't stop eating or drinking your Water because if you do there is going to be a lot of other not so nice things happening to you....
Make sure too that you are drinking coconut Water and or G2 Gatorade to help with electrolytes....

1. I wish I had broken up with food before surgery so that I didn't have to add it to the first month's difficult adjustments. Emotional basket case and food will NOT comfort.
2. I wish I knew that the 1st month would be a physical and mental challenge. I was tired, stupid and emotional. I had previously believed I was the special snowflake who would recover like a rock star. I am not a special snowflake.
3. I wish I knew that planning was ludicrous. My stomach is no longer a familiar beast. The shakes I liked would be gross on the flip side and my guts relentlessly reject my insistence that it behave as I expect it to.
4. Post first week Constipation nearly killed me. I was entirely unprepared for this.
That said, best decision I ever made.

I have no idea and have been asking myself this question since size 20.

Honestly, I'd be a bit suspicious. My boyfriend, who is always on my ass about food, Water, sleep, exercise, sloppiness ect would NEVER even mention my loose skin! If I bring it up he pretends he doesn't know what I'm talking about. Then I start flapping my arm skin at him and he rolls his eyes and grabs my boobs. If he ever said he wanted me to lose faster so I could get my back wings removed I'd slap him with my belly flap!

I think I would like to live more independently now. A more off the grid lifestyle where my needs are met naturally and more creatively. I'd like to learn to make furniture rather than trading my time for money to pay for furniture. If only they had a surgery that removed 75% of my student loan debt.

One becomes a writer by writing. You don't need to feel better to write. You just have to write. That's all. The more words, the better. You don't need to edit yet. Just write.
Write.

I wonder if he feels threatened and insecure about your success. As in, maybe she won't need me anymore. But even so, that's his problem. If you are not getting the loving support you need, I'd say run. I know, easier said than done. But I've been there. Was there for 10 years. Time lost and wasted. Don't let anyone bring you down. You are brave and are working hard. Be proud and happy!

She had it backwards. Not sure where the exact 86 percent came from....but it's around that who keep off the majority of excess weight off. There is a lot of new research that definitively shows the sleeve and by-pass work by resetting the metabolism. Start with googling bile acids and vsg. The nihi has a great study entitled, "not all bariatric surgeries created equally," despite the hokey title, it's pretty in depth about the metabolic resetting.

What the hell tell him to back off jack...this is not a race or a sprint. This is the rest of your life and if he wants to be part of it calm the hell down....Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking.
I can just imagine him taking all the credit for the hard work you are putting into this yourself....Oh I told her to do this or that...What!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is about you not him...He can encourage you and support you but to control what your doing..That is going way to far.!

Hah I like you E!
I think it comes from Jealosy that people will debate a decision like the ones that we the over endowed will make. I have know so many "skinny" people to say to me "just dont eat" yea right, just walk a mile in my shoes...they couldnt take the weight...
Im sure your coworkers looked at you sideways when you were only eating a babies portion of stuff LOL
you should be proud of yourself!
