Sooooo true! Ugh you lost too much, when you're going to gain some weight back.

Congratulations! Mommyhood is one THE best things in this entire world. Please enjoy every single second, it goes by so very quickly. ????

Dr Fitzer is amazing!!!!!! ????????????????????????????????????
He's a bariatric surgeon genius! His entire staff is also amazing. Jess, the NUT, she's a lifesaver. I feel like I could not have prayed for a better surgeon. I would be shocked to hear a negative review.
I met Dr Fitzer in May at a seminar. My consultation was in June. I did my 90 day supervised diet with nutritionist. Dr Fitzer performed my surgery on October 12th at Fair Oaks Hospital. The staff took great care of me. Jenny, the PA, she discharged me the next day. I was back to work the following week. Anything you'd like to know, I'd be happy to help.

Hello everyone
I wanted to know what apps you're using for logging you're food? I haven't tried my fitness pal because I've read how it doesn't match with our low caloric intake. I've tried Baritastic and Peachtree Bariatrics ( even though I'm not a patient it's a great tool for any bariatric patient). I just not a huge fan because of their measuring for serving sizes or portions.
Has anyone tried anything else?

Someone else suggested he attends the consultation with you. I highly agree. I also think he should attend the seminar with you. I'm not sure if this is offered most areas, but my fiancé and I attended the seminar first and then the consultation. By attending both of these he was fully aware and educated. I would also read some posts with him. He really enjoyed the posts because it was really life experiences not just research. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Unfortunately, I can't almost anything. I can eat rice; although I try not to. If I do, it may be a teaspoon or two of brown rice. I can't do any Pasta, when I tried I didn't dump....it just hurts in my pouch. If u really want Pasta, I use brown rice pasta. It's delicious, I use normally for my daughter because of her food allergies. If I have something with too much sugar, I'll get a rapid heartbeat. That'll last for about 5 minutes or so. Most often I stick to my Protein and veggies.

Hey I saw Dr Fitzer. I loved his office and I was able to have my surgery at Fair Oaks Hospital. Both experiences were perfect and pleasant Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

My journey has been amazing! I wish I did this years ago. I had my surgery Oct 12th. Ive lost 63 lbs. as of today. I have never felt better. I can walk up stairs without being winded. I can be at work all day and not feel like I can't make it throughout the day without being so exhausted. I want to do more active things. More importantly I don't think about food all day.

Are you getting on enough water/liquids? Sounds like dehydration. Just thought, I'm no exactly sure. However, those are symptoms of dehydration. Have tried switching your Protein Shakes?
