Thank you for these answers. I'm currently in my 1st stall (as it were) I am about 6 weeks post op and haven't lost anything in about 2 1/2 weeks. I'm sticking rigidly with the program. I lost 39lbs initially and the scale just doesn't move. I know it will eventually since I'm not consuming enough to even gain.

I had a rough time with nausea after surgery. I came to find out that my allergies were to blame. I was taking my daily allergy meds and my post nasal drip was giving me nausea. I'm 8 days out and feeling pretty good

First let me say how sorry I am on the loss of your mother. My mom panicked the first time I told her about my surgery. I brought her to appointments and had things explained to her not just by me and my research but by them. Maybe if you talked to your doctor and set up an appointment to have them explain things to your grandmother it would put her mind at ease?

my surgery is 2/2 and I'm opting not to tell my 5 year old daughter until after. Unfortunately she associates hospitals with death. She is going to stay with my mother while I'm in the hospital. I've decided to tell her afterwards to save her unnecessary worry. She does question why I'm not eating 'regular' food. Me and my husband have explained to her that my doctor is trying to get me 'healthy' We dont' use the word 'fat' in our house. I certainly don't want her to have any issues with weight or dieting but being healthy.

I'm also getting my surgery on 2/2 I've started my pre-op diet and feel crazy on just liquids

my 'hair' issue is not on my head but my chin and lip. if I don't take care of it daily..it grows back overnight

I was wondering how the WLS improves the symptoms of PCOS. mainly the excess hair issue. Thanks in advance <3 E

This is my date too. Good luck!!!
