As previously stated...find a new PCP.

It is a tough decision to make. My doctor knew I was unsure and scheduled me for a RNY possible VSG.
In my mind I knew I wanted the VSG because of the possible complications later down the line with RNY. The other part of me wanted the QUICK weight loss with RNY. My deciding factor was that I have a toddler and I didn't want to possibly deal with malabsorption and anemia issues later.

I had a smooth recovery and didn't have anyone there to help. The house did get a little messy as I couldn't bend down and pick up my toddler's toys off the floor.

My Breakfast shake recipe is simple...one scoop of Syntrax Cookies and Cream Protein powder and 12 ounces of FF milk. shake in my Blender Bottle and put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes. YUMMO!

Wow Blondiee, you have done GREAT! Amazing weight loss, and terrific about your size changes - but yes, the expense bites. I stopped at our local Value Village today though, and found a cute Jones New York cardigan and a wonderful summer T with sleeves long enough to cover my upper arms - FIND! Try the thrift stores if you can, and costco has great prices on things like basic nice jeans. Just be sure to wear something like leggings to slip them on over - there's no changing rooms.
My surgery is next Tuesday, and I'm SO jealous of how great you've done - I want to be you!
Thanks @@katesuccess I am really happy with my results thus far!
You'll be on the loser's bench very soon!

It's really not that difficult; having a plan will make it that much easier.
Try setting a timer on your phone to remind you to drink your fluids.

I totally feel you @@SoonergirlLayla!
Not sure how I'm going to Celebrate though. New handbag maybe? I've been lusting for the Chloe Alice tote. *heartbreaking price though*

I was dating before surgery and that has continued after surgery.
Did the whole internet dating thing 14 years ago and I'm over it now. However, it did yield a loving relationship that lasted 2 1/2 years.

New jeans EVERY week?!?!?!?!?!? Jeez...this is getting expensive.

Blondiee, how long have you been on this journey? I too don't have any room after my protein!
About 4 1/2 months...had surgery in December 2013.

My pre-op dirt is going with me to the grave!
All jokes aside, my surgeon didn't require one.

4 months.. How much can you eat?
in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

I'm almost 5 months out and eating just about 4 ounces at a meal. Sounds about right to me but, if you're concerned talk with your nutritionist.
I'm doing high protein/moderate fat/low carb. So really after I eat my Protein there's not room for anything else.
