I stopped taking my pain meds when I got home and I drove within 48 hours of surgery, not far but I really needed a pedicure, lol.

Ask your Dr

Everyone is different. You are young so you will snap back better than most people. Loose skin isn't a reason to not have surgery.

I'm a clean keto eater. I almost never make recipes. They are expensive with a lot of replacement products. My grocery list is Steak Pork chops Bacon Fish Sausage Heavy cream Cream cheese Butter Olive oil Spinach Zucchini Coffee Liquid stevita

Call your dr

Carbs under 25, protein over 100, calories at at least 1000, should be close to 1200

This book is a good place to start so you can understand the science. The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life-Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CVV2AE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Bus7ybP5P45SW Just like WLS understanding the science behind it makes it easier to understand, follow and make the right choices. /r/keto on reddit is a great place to start. I am just going to warn you. Keto is a commitment just like WLS. It isn't a diet it is a lifestyle and a way of eating. If you stop eating keto and go back to carbs the weight will pile on. Keto is not some fad diet you can follow for a little while drop weight and go back to eating trash. If you can't commit to it for life, there is no reason to even start. Keto replaces carbs with fat to keep you satisfied and once you are keto adapted your body runs on fat.

@tiffany44641 I have been a low carber, keto person off and on for about 16 years. I would lose weight but plateau and I didn't understand stalls so I would quit. I also had a portion control issue. People in the keto community feel like you can eat without portion control as long as it is high fat. Being sleeved helped me control my portions. In the beginning when I was healing I just followed a normal low carb diet. Around 6 months when I was healed, I switched to keto. Personally I feel like if I didn't switch to Keto I would not have lost this much weight. I would have topped out at about 100 pounds lost and bounced around like most WLS people. Just as importantly eating keto has allowed me to maintain my looks. I have lost 182 pounds and I look very young and healthy. I do not look sickly. My face looks amazing. Keto is great for women because the fat is great for your skin. If you look in keto groups the women that keto almost glow. I am a strong advocate for Keto. If you can portion control you can lose a lot of weight on keto. If you can't portion control wls is a great option to help you with that. The sleeve has helped me with portion control and made making the right food choices easy.

Seems normal. You had a low start weight.

Why aren't you motivated? We can't motivate you. You have to motivate yourself.

They do that as part of the tummy tuck

This. Anyone with any sense can that coming from a mile away.

If you are in plus sizes it takes forever to lose a size, because of how they are designed also what @Brandeis said. When you get smaller, every 5-10 pounds is a size

Grilled fish for breakfast! Girl Scouts do it better... A lot of cultures have fish for breakfast, like people that live on islands...

I agree with @PatientEleventyBillion I feel like your GERD will probably be resolved with losing weight. I am also so surprised to read sugeons pushing RNY on people who only need to lose 50-60 pounds, unless you are over 50, that seems like over kill. I have also seen an influx of people lately getting DS, who in the past they would have never pushed it on. If you are young and not slug the sleeve can get the job done. Also being a younger person. I chose the sleeve knowing that if things get out of hand down the line, I have revision options as I get older if I need it (I don't think I will have far exceeded my goals with the sleeve and enjoy my new life enough to protect it at all costs). RNY leaves you no revision options really. I know they tight the pouch for some people or bypass more intestine but its not the same going from like the sleeve to SIPS or DS. I have lost 182 pounds with a sleeve. You can lose a lot with it if you want to. My Dr is very skilled at them, they are all he does and he sees amazing results.

Most people here don't have plastics until they are over a year post-op and actually have a healthy BMI. My opinion stands, you don't have to like it or even read it. She looks terrible and is piss poor example for WLS and reconstructive plastic surgery. P.S. All money isn't good money.

I was scared to eat early on too. Very scared. I thought I would eat the wrong thing and rip my sleeve. I think being scared is good. It prevented me from giving I to head hunger. At first I would take a bite, wait 2 to eat minutes to see how I reacted then eat more. If you like fish, a soft moist baked fish turns to mush in your mouth. Very easy to eat. I never tried to ricotta bake. I would think the cheese would balance out the acid

I think it is better to get the root problems that cause the eating than focusing on the eating. Like are you had at handling stress so you eat? Work on handling the stress. I found it was easier to detach from food once I stopped using food to numb issues I had, food and eating was a symptom of other issues. I was self medicating with food, some people use drugs but I was using food. I didn't have to focus on the food because I focused on the other issues.

Call your Dr!!!!!! This not an internet forum question. Call the after hours number.

Eat the bagel, you will be miserable and learn your lesson. Some things are best learned by experience. Even now at 21 months I am pretty sure a bagel would sit on my stomach like a brick @Elizabeth R Maybe 6 months plus when your internal swelling is down and your staple line is healed. Early on a bagel, low carb or full carb is going to be painful as hell.

@antoinette85 How much you lose after surgery is basically based on you and how you eat/live. I have lost more weight with the sleeve than most people with RNY. That is because of my lifestyle choices. I was diabetic. Completely reversed it. The one person I know that had RNY with a family history of diabetes had cured their diabetes with surgery. Then they started eating poorly and regaining, and now they diabetes is making its way back. It is really a roll of dice if RNY will cure you of diabetes or prevent you from every getting it. It isn't a guarantee. The only reason to choose RNY over Sleeve is if you already have GERD and that GERD is not based on a Hiatal hernia. In the end you have to live with the choice not the surgeon. A lot of things that claimed to be guarantees with RNY don't always apply like dumping, most people don't dump long term. People with RNY supposedly lose like 10% more weight, but that 10% isn't really worth having your intestines touched. JMO

Do you like fish? try a baked white fish. Swai is really soft when you bake it. I have a recipe in the recipe section and that is pretty much all I ate the first 3 months.

@Greensleevie Is right. People newly post-op don't understand life when you are further out. I'm not as far out as either of you but I am almost at 2 years. I have pretty much figured out a lot of things I can basically eat endless amounts of, so I can't have those things. I still find that steak and pork chops fill me up and keep me full for a long time, so those are all I eat basically. The amount I can eat in those creeps up, I can eat more if I don't religiously track them. @Steeks Going back to liquids at this point is pointless. You are just going to be hungry, starve all day and end up binge eating in the end of the day. It will also just make you feel worse about yourself and your control over food. Try dense protein, Steak, Chicken Breast, Pork chops, eat those, 6 ounces. Don't eat anything else. Report back if that makes you feel full and for how long.

Steak or a pork chop. If I have a small steak I might have an egg. Early on I had a shake. Then later I had baked fish. Your first meal of the day doesn't have to be breakfast food.

She is a reality "star" whoring herself on television for fame, and was married to a pedophile that she admitted she did all this just to make him jealous, not to be healthy, not to set a good example. To make a worthless man feel jealous. I actual censored a lot of what I would have said about her because overall I feel like she is the scum of the earth. She doesn't really care about a healthy lifestyle or living, her daughter is still huge and they still eat trash. Yeah I think she is going to gain all her weight back. The people that did all her surgeries should be charged with Malpractice. It is ver obvious the whole process was rushed and the idea that she wears a 4 is ridiculous.
