10 months ago I made the best decision ever .
95 lbs gone forever

Our program told us to take benefiber twice a day to help with this. Worth a try once you get this cleared out.

Hello!! I had my surgery the same day! I do count calories and I haven't stopped at all. Currently I'm at 1400-1600I recently had to bump it up because I workout so much and wasn't getting results. No weight loss or significant muscle gains. I'm happy to report the scale is going down again and I have more energy during the day. I'm currently 146.7 lbs and my goal is 130. [emoji4] hope this helps you..... I'm also a vegetarian.

I had my one year post op surgery. My surgeon is awesome and said to keep a 500 mark between calorie in and calorie out. I use my fitness app to track all of it. My food intake ranges on 550 to 1200 daily. If I workout intensely I can eat and drink more. As long as we keep a difference of 500 we will lose.

Three suggestions.
Take smaller, slower bites or sips.
Walk a lap around your home or up and down the stairs after every bite.
Learn to do what my kids called, the turtle neck. Lift your chin high and the stretch it forward as far as you can.
Burps result.

I got sleeved and hernia repair monday morning. Woke up from surgery with tons of pressure in my diaphragm from fas bubbles. Right where they did hernia repair. I have been up walking a lot, just got cleared by xray to swallow liquids. Nausea has been a huge issue. They may keep me an extra day because of my getting sick. Finally got chicken broth and Jello but lost interest very fast. Terrified of dry heaving anymore.

Hello!
I'm still working my way through the process...... I'll be having my surgery at Henry Ford Hospital with Dr. Carlin. I've completed my blood work, psych evaluation, lost the weight to meet surgeon's goal, met with my surgeon, surgical clearance testing done. I already have the insurance approval. I only need at this point to meet with the GI doctor and get an EGD done. My surgeon said I didn't need to meet with him again before surgery and that I could see one of the nurses to go over everything because I'm on track with everything else. So..... Just waiting.

For the food journal, i think it will be ok? I was asked about how often I exercise, how much Protein I have in a day, calories, and Water. Have your journal ready just in case. My letter wasn't that long. Only a page. I gave reasons why I wanted the surgery, that I understand the risks, who my support system was, how I plan on using the tool to achieve my goals, etc.
Today I had my appointment with the GI doctor. My Upper GI is scheduled for 9/23. More waiting. Yay! Lol. Good luck tomorrow! I look forward to hearing about it!

It was great! I really liked him. Very easy to talk to. The 31st was my original appointment with Dr. Carlin but there was a cancellation and since I was done with the pre req stuff they asked if I wanted it. My friend and coworker had Dr. Genaw years ago. She said he was awesome! Funny and so down to earth. Did you write your letter of intent? How about your food journal? I have an appointment with the GI Dr. on the 30th. I hope I can get the EGD done soon. I feel like that's what's slowing me down.

Sorry, this post has nothing to do with the topic title.
I noticed I was at my 999th post and I wanted this, my 1000th post, to wish everyone a great day and keep up the excellent work you have been doing on your WLS journeys.
I didn't want to use this on answering a question such as:
"Is it ok to eat plywood only 1 week after bariatric WLS?"
"After reading 9,872 articles about post surgery 3 week weight loss stalls, is my stall normal at 21 days?"
"Is it ok if I (whatever obvious thing we are not supposed to do, that has been published not to do by respectable sources or explained not to do by our surgeon, nutritionist, bariatric nurse, etc.)? I know the answer is no, but I am hoping that someone with no medical background or any knowledge of my medical condition vindicates my harmful and dangerous actions."
Have a wonderful day!
PS. Shame on you if you thought this post was going to match the title.
