Silica you can get it at most health food stores that carry Vitamins it is a clear Water looking liquid you get a nice size bottle for about 17.00 it is way better than Biotin. My daughter is a vitamins manager and has had a lot of education in stuff like that. It worked great for my sisters who had the surgery several years ago.

I use Premier chocolate shake I add half a banana Greek yogurt and Peanut Butter some ice and blend. 2 grams of sugar in the peanut butter only use a table spoon and one shake it makes enough for a few days. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

I am honest with my psychologist. I said I was not honest with the one for evaluation. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

There is no way I can force my self to drink when I'm full. I am not going to dump or stretch my pouch. That is not smart. I can eat or drink pick one. I know 3 meals a day is not enough I consider a pudding a meal. At this point I am not trying to not eat. I am honestly full he said not to force food into yourself or you will dump.

Like I said my psychologist is aware of how I am. And no I do not think eating a healthy homade soup everyday is a problem. You do not have to eat a ton of food to lose weight. Soup has a ton of nutrients in it including Protein. It is not canned food with tons of salt and preservative. In fact my nutritionist wrote down the recipe. I will continue to drink the 30 grams of Protein Drink as much as I can. My primary doctor will also check on me and I go to both a psychologist and a psychiatrist. So I am good. In fact it was my psychiatrist a gift for me to even get the surgery. Because she knew how much this weight gain bothered me. I am in good hands if my doctor seems any kind of life threatening issues he will make me get it reversed. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

I am 17 pounds down at 2weeks 2 days the first day of surgery they weigh you and I was 10 pounds up! I was so mad! But I was told it was the fluids and such he also told me that if you did not eat a lot of salt in your diet which I never have you will weigh more and lose less at first. I got back to normal weight in two days and then only lost 2 pounds ugh next weigh in I lost 13 and then back to 2. Total of 17 since my surgery.

CD. My doctor puts everyone on Xanax pre-op and post-op. For the first few days after surgery. And pre-op he gives it for 2 weeks and has you take it the morning off surgery. It helped me so much. Especially all the anxiety pre-op. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

I drink the Protein drinks with half a banana Greek yogurt and a tablespoon of Peanut Butter all blended up. But like you I can't eat a lot of anything. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

Oh and I had my surgery 2week and 2 days ago. Already down 17 pounds. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

Mine was 6 months but it went very fast. My doctor has a lot of seminars and stuff to go to do he keeps us busy. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

My doctor just said lose 25 pounds or he won't do the surgery he gave me no liquid diet. Just the warning that most people do not lose what he asks and they do not get the surgery until they do. I surprised him and the staff I lost 40 pounds on my own and was not hungry at all. He said I was the first to ever do that. Here it takes 6 months to get approved you have all kinds of test and seminars but he don't put you on a diet until everything else is done. The minute I came in with my weight loss he scheduled my surgery. And because I lost more then the 25 pounds I got to eat all my favorite things before my surgery. You can do it!

I know 6 people who had the surgery through welfare medical. This is absolutely not acceptable. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

Yes I had a psychologist. Approval but I was not honest. They do not let you go to your own psychologist. For surgery approval. I do have a psychologist who does work with bariatric patents. He is well aware of my weight loss and gain in the last 4 years. He also knows I was on 500 calories for a year and I still ran and went to the gym 5 days a week over kill. Now that I had the surgery I am off all medications including blood pressure. I think I will do great on this. If I can get the Water down. If I eat like a normal person I get fat. Sadly.

Yes I go to the nut before and after. I been out 2 weeks and two days and I have lost 17 pounds. So I am losing weight. I do try to eat more but I get full. And I am not going to force it i am trying to eat more then 3 meals a day but it is hard and I forget. But my husband is calling me to remind me I am just not hungry. But I will just stop the soup my favorite thing. And try to just drink my Protein drink. Thanks for all this information I will try to figure out what to eat. I do not eat sea food at all which is what my nut keeps trying to push. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

So sorry hun God speed! I don't know about anyone else but I watch food net work. It works for me. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

No just one bowl but I was never hungry. Before when I lost the 130 pounds I ate 500 calories a day I don't care about food. The problem is as soon as I stop with the liquid diet and try to just eat normal healthy food I gain it all back. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

Yeah I doubt I am too. It takes 4 days to drink one ready made 8 Oz premier. I just don't know what to eat. Once I can eat the tortilla Soup. That is,what I will eat. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

They didn't care how you lost it. They won't give you surgery if you don't lose what they ask until you do. The soup is very healthy it is chicken,black Beans and Harmony. And you top it with avocado cilantro onion lime and tortilla straps the thin strips 35 calories a table spoon and you only use a few on top also can top it with raw cabbage instead and a little Mexican cheese which is made with skim milk. I did tell the doctor what I ate and what was in the soup. He wants me to do a paper on it so he can give it to his patience during his seminar. I will post a picture. I have one on my phone.
