Good point, thanks Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Im just curious why so many bariatric plans (diet) vary so much. The surgery is the same, so why do some doctors allow some things on ones diet plan and others don't .One Example: there was a huge debate over drinking alcohol. Im not seeing a standard across the board with these doctors like one would think there would be. I was told never to drink, but I read that one woman said her doctor said she could drink 3 month out. I just find this strange. Any thoughts..... Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I agree with you Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I hate to hear that, but thanks. I meet my surgeon on 8/31. I will post what he says, even though I gotta think it will be the same. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

You sure like the debate!!! Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

You should keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. If you are weight training - it's possible to go up a few lbs. Are you taking measurements? And whoever said 2 lbs above goal is concerning was wrong - you could gain 2 lbs from not pooping one day. Being this obsessed with the scale is not healthy. I must disagree with muscle weighing more than fat. One pound is one pound regardless if it's one pound of fat, one pound of muscle or one pound of pickles. A pound is a pound.I do agree with not obsessing about the scale! It will drive you crazy ! Not true, google it Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Im right there with ya, ramona5555. I have the same bmi and 57 yo. With HBP, i struggle with knee pain daily. No surgery date as of yet. Consult with surgeon on 8/31. Keep up posted on your progress, and good luck to you. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

You have no idea how hard it is for us with lower Bmi. I believe it is just as hard, and just as easy to put the pounds back on. We just have less pounds, however the struggle is the same. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
