nursey 46

I'm almost six weeks post op and I've only lost 15 pounds, my starting BMI was 41 and now it's 37. I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed? I'm also curious about the responses to come.

Everyone looks amazing! Congrats. See you there soon.

My nut told me caffeine can cause micro ulcers. Told me absolutely none post op for 6 months at least.

Btw, had sleeve done in 9th. Doing great, very little pain, doing lots of walking, still bloated and gassy.

Do any of Yall have trouble getting unjury unflavored protein to mix? Comes in really clumpy for me. Any ideas?

Surgery tomorrow. Very excited!

I can relate I'm on day six of Liquid diet and although I'm not physically hungry my head tells me I am. This is hard. But I will make it and so will you, best wishes. See you on the other side.

I'm on day three of nothing but 3 protein shakes a day and all the sf jello broth and crystal light I want. Needless to sayI'm starving lol. But I will stick with it! Surgery September 9th. Yay

Registered Nurse/ICU

Sept 9th for me, congrats everyone

I saw the surgeon two days ago, had my EGD today and last nut appointment next week, my surgeon will submit after next weeks nut visit but he did give me a date of Sept 9 I'm soooo excited! Start my liquid diet next thrusday woot Whoot

Amazing, excellent job!

Best Wishes everyone, hope to be there soon.

Several people have said the same thing...."you don't need the surgery" yes I do! I weight 240 lbs and I'm 5'4 I am morbidly obese. I've decided not to be so forthcoming with people, to much negativity.

I am because if I fall under a 40 BMI I need two comorbidities so I purposefully not losing to qualify. I'll keep my 40.5 BMI thank you
