WOW!!!!!! You look amazing, congratulations!!!

Hopefully it was just gas but everyone be careful because these symptoms can also be from a complication from surgery being a partially or collapsed lung...so always get checked asap!

...And as for the more personal relationships in your life that have, over the years, nagged you, belittled you, or in anyway made you feel "less" worthy than them because of your weight - they deserve an explanation least of all. Don't give them the satisfaction."

Love that part The Candidate how true!!!

Quest are the best!!!

Lose Half a pound a day??? R u kidding thats ridiculous dont let your surgeon ruin your efforts! See your Nut and discuss your concerns with your nutrition balance, you deserve more support

I started around 3 months, getting worse now nearing 4 mths. Get my Vitamins, Protein & Water in. Just think the op is a shock to the body plus we cannot get the nutrients required for a while so the effects of that kick in. hair follicles go through different Hair growth cycles, not all growing at same time, so it will come back and thicken eventually...i hope hehe

I do 30 mins before & after, so that i have room to eat and that food doesn't get flushed out of my tummy too soon...seems to work well, more seems overkill

WOW thats amazing, well done!!!

Shivering usually means fever...have you taken your temp? I'd get checked by Doc for infection asap

WOW look at you! amazing result!!!

Yes, get another opinion Lisa. They often do surgery for people under BMI 35 if they have co-morbidities and the family history that you appear to have. Have some blood tests done to check on diabetes or to back up your reasons. His excuse about not sticking to previous diets and not losing weight is ridiculous. None of us have!!!! Don't give up!

My Surgeon told me before my op that i would have to take my Pariet (similar to your medication) for 6 months post op, so i do.

While i understand many aspects of Paleo Diet are healthy i dont follow it completely. Our Paleo ancestors only lived to about 35 yrs of age so cant see how that diet is "all that"!!! I am trying "clean eating" instead, like you eating everything as close to natural as possible but not deleting complex grains, legumes or dairy.

Wow you look fantastic and 10 years younger! Congratulations!!!????

Awesome!!! Love your pics! Congratulations darn good job!

Wow Jenn that is simply amazing!!!!!! Congratulations! You are so slim and healthy!!! How amazing that WLS can change a life so much and if anyone in your life can't support you, kick them to the kerb! Your Mum and FIL would be so proud

Thanks everyone for your input. Guess its a bit of a process, trying new choices and seeing if it works. Just so badly want to get all those unhelpful old "dieting" rules out of my mind and daily life.

Thank goodness! I had a partially collapsed lung after surgery, a very long time ago, your post brought it back. Make sure you do deep breathing exercises and use one of those plastic "incentive spirometre" with the ping ping balls to increase your lung power! As it can take some time to resolve

It could be your lungs, please get checked

Hi, I'm really wanting to get rid of "diet" foods, after decades using them. I've been "food label" comparing lately and there is definately more Sugar in diet or low-fat foods eg. Cottage/ ricotta cheese, yoghurt, sauces, etc.

I now feel only using lowfat dairy foods eg. Cheese/milk and forgetting about the rest.

What has worked for you?

Baby food is only for emergencies! There is not enough Protein in it for an adult. Protein enriched Soups, casseroles blended are a much better choice.

Wow how great do you look!!!!! I guess the weightloss has to slow at some stage. Just keep doing what u r doing you look 10 years younger!

Thanks for that. My daily average intake would be 800cal, 70 Protein & 40 carbs
