Ps I just read your main question I don't have answers for the rest.

@@heynowkc The difference for me is I have zero Hungary where as with extreme dieting which I did some stupid stuff like hcg...I was starving and could feel it!

Incredible!

Congratulations

Well now you know what to wish for when you blow out the candles (if you get a cake)

@@joatsaint I use to love watching them when I was in the Pre-op learning stage. I was curious to see what people where eating before, and after surgery. It was part of my learning phase. I watched a lot Of VSG you-tubers! I don't watch it anymore however.

Thanks quest bars are the best!!

I traveled two weeks after surgery (actually 8 days) I was also back To work and college at two weeks so it really just depends. If you do just make sure you pack all the things you will need. Water, vitamins, whatever diet you have. I felt fine, drinking water, taking vitamins ect was no different away from my house than doing it sitting in it. Same, same.

Yay!

Forever apparently!.....geez!

@@proudgrammy I have no doubt

Yes and it's ridiculously low but I feel good and labs are on point so I roll with it. I get around 20 carbs with only 4 grams being sugar. 800 calories, 100+ grams of protein and 20 grams of fat. @@catlover2565

There's not a "long "term study but there was enough Studies and evidence to prove it does work. The Bypass is defiantly no more of a "guarantee" you will take the weight off and keep it off. I know a few people Personally that have had bypass, lost weight and regained it. Truth is you can fail with any surgery if you don't do your part. You have to do the work to be successful. Nobody will be able to tell you how much you will lose with any surgery, again that will depend on your body and how much work you put into it. Good luck!

I assume it's to get ideas on what to eat and buy. I watched them before surgery because I wanted to see what the people who were losing weight were eating, and to get an idea of what the "diet" of a WlS patient looked like. I don't watch them any more.

I love the salad bar too. I usually get that While the rest of the family go to the drive through. My last visit to the bar was $2.08. I'm a cheap date for my hubs now. Instead of our fancy date nights at a nice restaurant I buy clothes or fun jewelry. Soooo much more rewarding and it last longer! I don't think I have a "food addiction" I was just hungry all the time. I also quit smoking cold turkey after smoking a pack a day for 6 + years , no problem. Maybe we are either really strong willed or plain lucky?

@@Hoven I've turned in to a "I don't care" person when it comes to food. I use to call my husband everyday at work and ask him what he wanted for dinner, either cook or plan take out. Now I don't call anymore. He calls me and I always say the same thing "I don't care" I'm not going to eat it anyway. Ha! I eat I just don't eat hardly anything they eat. I still cook for them though. I'm one of the few who doesn't have hunger so food is of no interest to me anymore. Even when we go out to eat I don't even order any thing I just eat a few bits off the family's plate and I'm good. It takes some getting use to. Eating out was always a big deal in my family, I will go with them just to be with them but the food is not anything I care about. I freaking love it though! It's amazing when I think about how I Use to be about food and how I am now. It's a miracle!

@@hstrayorn I ate in my room during pre-op (no hunger after so no issue there) My husband and kids where very forgetful about leaving junk on the counters in my line of view so after awhile I started hiding all their crap, they eventually got sick of looking for it and decided to keep things put up. Amazing how well that worked!

@@proudgrammy I've never tired either of those flavors! Lord help my husbands wallet if I do!

I eat 800 calories a day. I have not stopped losing weight and I'm never dizzy. You need to eat. Not only will not eating enough make you dizzy but it will eventually cause you to stop losing weight. Just eat the Right things and you don't have to worry. It could also be other issues, it's a good thing your going to see your DR.

@@IcanMakeit Ha! I eat them everyday..sometimes twice. In fact my husband just bought me 3 more boxes Of them. It's just easier and I lose weight without any stalls (that I know of, I only weigh biweekly) I doubt I will give them up

@@Rovobay Ok I was just wondering. I have BCBS federal so I guess we will see. I've been buying them all along so whatever. I'm surprised they didn't try to make you pay for the ones you got.

@@Rovobay Did you ever get approved for these?

Fabulous job!
