I work in hospice and palliative care. My company is awesome. However, I'm getting some push back from Co workers. Although we have alot of people with weight issues. I feel like I won the lottery. Did anyone else have issues returning to work? Sent from my SM-N900T using the BariatricPal App

Smiles thanks, I've been taking an ambassador role and encourage people to ask questions.. that was until I got the.. "I thought you'd be smaller" comments. And I explain I've lost 42 lbs on my journey. But more importantly my diabetes is in remission. Then smile sweetly...thinking all the while "I thought you were smarter"...

When asked I explained this surgery will save my life. I was beautiful before it! Now I'm healthy too Sent from my SM-N900T using the BariatricPal App

Try pinterest I started looking at it before I had my surgery. I looked up some of my favorite foods and it gave some options on how to do it healthier. That's where I discovered the veggetti spiralizer, califlower pizza dough. And educating myself on baking. Sent from my SM-N900T using the BariatricPal App

Like kmorri I use unjury and nectre brands bought in the dr. office. My doc seems very strict compared to some of the post I read here. We weren't given an outside option, even told us how much money we'd need prior to this stage. Honestly took the guesswork out of it Sent from my SM-N900T using the BariatricPal App I ordered mine online and I didn't find Unjury to be anymore expensive then any other brand that met my surgeon's requirements......Also, my surgeon wants you to get off protein drinks once you get into the "real" food stage. ....that may be difficult but we shall see. one step at a time!! Good morning all..ready for day 3 The dietician said that supplements and Vitamins will be a part of my regular diet. Forever. Sent from my SM-N900T using the BariatricPal App
