Not to be rude but she loved you no matter your weight but you can not do the same??
Sounds pretty selfish to me....

I'm curious-- what was this mutual agreement that you made before surgery??
My spouses habits didn't cause me to maintain a weight of over 300#'s for years... my own habits, or lack thereof did. I would never ever put any amount of this on my spouses shoulders. I control every bite that I take and move that I make.

I bout this milk yesterday as a trial, and OMFG, no bariatric patient who drinks milk should be drinking anything else. It tastes great, has let cabs, and far more Protein it is a no brainer. Thank you for bringing this subject up!
FAIRLIFE FOR LIFE, God that sounds bad.
Oh, my ass even approves!

I took a full six weeks off and have no regrets. I told my office I was having surgery, but not the type. You have a right to recover properly from major surgery. I would not feel any guilt in that regard. Good luck!

Let me be the first to say....it's time to be selfish! This about you and your life changing experience. You do not need to tell work why you are getting surgery, atleast specifically what kind. That's why there is hipa. Good luck with your surgery.

MFP has a recipe builder where you can enter your own recipe and get the stats per serving.

wonderful!! Congrats on your accomplishments!

Only a man would worry about losing too much too fast

Today is my one year Surgiversary!!! I went from a size 24 to a size 10. Here is a link to a video that shows the change ????https://flipagram.com/f/YXXy5eaffo

Exactly. Don't make it about him, make it about the food. Because it is about the food...and not wanting to waste unnecessarily.

Yes! My grocery store hasn't had the Fairlife skim for over a week. Broke down and got the 2%. Hope whatever the issue is they resolve it soon.

@@winklie
It is soooo worth the extra dollars, especially since we as WLS patients don't need as much. I drink 2 four ounce glasses of the Whole Fairlife. It feels me up, taste great and is yummy in an ice cold mug!
@@TMG1980TMG I know there are almost double the calories in the Whole or even the 2% but you do get more nutrition out of whole milk. Any whole milk. Which is why when babies are weened from formula (or even breast milk) they will start with Whole Milk. They (and us adults) need the fat (especially in small doses) from whole milk. Just a thought.

So everybody gets dry skin? I thought it was the suddenly cold weather. I never needed a moisturizer but I sure do now.

7 months out, a little over 100lbs lost !

Here is me now!

This is me at 6 months out! Im 151 at the moment. My goal is 135. Doc told me i have 6 more months of losing but will be less dramatic ofcourse ????

I'm now 7 months out. 83 pounds since surgery which puts me at the number the surgeon told me I could realistically expect to lose. My BMI was exactly 40 on surgery day. I'd be good stopping here. I've increased my calories to 1200 and I'm drinking extra calories to try to slow it down. I put on a pair of pants I've been toting around for 30 years. I wore them in college from 1985-1987. They fit, but very differently than before. My ass is now flat, and my tummy is bigger. They are completely ugly so I would never wear them, but at least I could.

I also thought hernia-- you do need to have it looked at. Hernias need surgical repair! ????
It might be something else too as suggested--
Congrats on your success so far!

My first thought was an umbilical hernia but then I saw the picture and I'm undecided. Only your doctor can tell you for sure. Glad to hear you're having success.

so?
what's the update?

I agree, the appointment with the surgeon was on the 10th, I am praying for you that it did not wind up with a "Take him to the ER and prep for surgery right now type moment".
If you are able let us know how you are doing....
We are all pulling for you!

Don't do this. When your local specialty store goes out of business because everyone uses them as a fitting store only... where will you get fitted?
My middle school daughter started cross country last year, so we went to the local, well-recommended running store. They analyzed her arch, stride etc and set her up with a pair of shoes. Prices were in-step (pun intended) with what online stores charged. Additionally they had a 30 day return policy if there was any discomfort with the shoes, and they give you a punch card so that after you buy 6 pairs from them, your 7th is free.

i was told by my nut that even mixing with milk it counted were you told something diffrent

Just smile and say "Thank you".
If they start to get intrusive with questions, simply tell them you are tired of talking about your weight but would be happy to discuss theirs. They will stop.

@@Dub you made my day lmao
