Hi! I'm in Charleston area but going to Charlotte for surgery on April 28th. Good luck to all of you! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I like cooking up a few packs of boneless pork chops or chicken tenderloins and freezing them individually wrapped to pull out for quick meals with a bag of frozen veggies. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I was on metformin about 12 years ago. I lost about 30 pounds over the course of a summer, but I was taking about 2000mgs a day and I changed my eating habits to only good carbs and no sugar. It was pretty easy EXCEPT by the end of the summer I was almost living in the bathroom. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

My surgery is to be on April 28th. Only 2 ppl know about it...my husband and my sister. I want to talk to my mom, but she and my MIL are the biggest gossips. And I just don't really relate to my mom very well. I've had my own misgivings about the decision to have surgery and completely change my eating habits. But 2 of the main reasons I've decided this is what I need is this.....1. I'm sick and tired of being hungry. I'm 43 and I don't remember a day or an hour in my life that I didn't feel hunger pains. And 2. The fact that "cheating" on this new diet could potentially cause me immediate great pain, etc is a much better motivator than anything else I've come up with. To many ppl sit in judgment of things they just don't understand. Dont allow their ignorance to road block your progress. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I haven't had surgery yet but I am going to try a brand called Wellesse. It seems perfect because they are liquid and made with Stevia instead of Splenda. Has any one else used these with any luck? Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm supposed to cut out caffeine but I haven't completely yet. I've been allowing myself 1 Co of coffee a day because then my K-cups would run out on Sunday and I'd still have over a week before surgery. I tried to wait the migraine out but I broke down and took some Advil a few hours ago. It still not gone completely but I can open my eyes without feeling like my heads going to bust.

I'm on day 4 (I started a day early)and I've had a bad migraine since the night of the 1st day and today the nausea and diarrhea started. I could deal with the hunger if the headache would go away! I've read to drink more but idk how much more dining I can do! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App
