That's scares me! That's exactly what I don't want to happen! I would be your buddy but I'm still in that stage so I don't know how much help I would be...I would probably just be annoying

My BMI is only 28.2 with surgery scheduled!
That's low but is your surgeon reputable? Do you think he would do surgery on you if he felt it were unsafe? If your questioning that you probably don't Have a lot of trust for him, I wouldn't let someone cut on me that I didn't fully trust.

When I see a seriously overweight young woman, I have this overwhelming urge...
My daughter has began to eat healthier with me, we cook together ect...but she's not big she's 13 5'6 and 116. I love it but sometimes the things she says about her weight now and what she should eat is borderline wrong. She almost wants to eat JUST like me and she can't do that I have to remind her that the way I eat (amounts) is not healthy for her. She's getting it. I like that nutrition and health is on her mind though!

How have you changed?
I think I'm even more outgoing (if possible) I'm not shy or reserved. I'm also not afraid to speak up in public because I'm afraid of what I may look like (weight wise) I'm not even done yet I'm still 202 lbs but you can't tell my brain that, it thinks I'm 150 and ready to streak through the campus! Ring the alarm!!!

Knives in my stomach!
That's doesn't sound normal. Yes you should call your surgeon. Also if you don't already have one ask for a prescription for a PPI.

Same as yours only I didn't have to wait 60 days I could do regular after the purée/mushy stage as tolerated.

I BINGED
It's weird and I'm In no way telling you to binge but sometimes upping your calories and carbs can actually cause you to drop some weight. Good thing you recognize it as bad and are changing it! Way to go!

Bariatric Vitamin home delivery good? Or No?
Ok I've decided I can't do the zinc...makes me ill, I can't stand the calcium tablet to powder consistence eww. So I'm liking the multivitamin and nose spray. I doubt I will get another months supply. It was worth the try though.
