I wasn't really denied prior I just didn't even try but I just got approved by one company when another one said they wouldn't do it because it's only been a year post op. I had health issues besides being obese and I'm 28.

I'm a year post op hit goal like 4 months ago and just been maintaining now I have slipped up with sweets I have not reintroduced rice or pasta or bread in my life and don't want to

So I'm 11 months post op and I cheat probably 2x a week I still work out and the rest of the week I'm steady with my diet but what I have noticed is that I will literally gain weight in those 2 days like 6lbs and then for the rest of my week I'm fighting to put those back down and then I do it again.....does anyone else gain weight that fast???? I always manage to put the weight back off some times it takes me to not cheat for 2 weeks to get it all down before I'm comfortable enough to indulge in something I'm not really suppose to have.....i have met my doc goal weight and my own personal goal.....im just trying to maintain but with that said I don't want to gain and would like to enjoy certain things every now and then without worrying about putting on a bunch of pounds in such a short period......

Thanks everyone and I will start changing my mindset on calling it a cheat day and rather plan for what I'm going to have gives me more control thanks

What caused the disease I have it and all my teeth shifted I was about to loose 6 teeth in the front but what progressed it was my sugar levels where so high before surgery I got that under control and after surgery am no longer diabetic I have been to the dentist after the deep cleaning he did right after my sleeve and he said my pockets are looking 90 percent better and that I should be able to hold on to my teeth a little longer then expected before so keep up with the surgery and dentist your health is key in all of this there is hope

I think lotion is good I don't look older I feel like I look younger then I did but I do have a little gobble under my neck small and you can only see depends on how high I lift my face.....but someone said to me that after sometime the fat does settle back into your face a bit I don't know how true that is

My fingers swell alot and i never had this problem before it started with just one now they all swell up at night and feel really sore after I'm 11 months post Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

My fluid intake is good,and I'm still on all the vitamins. I know I get the low blood pressure when I switch from sitting to standing. One doc recommended getting more salt, so I have to get blood work done in the next few weeks and will find out. I'm not sure if my sleeping position has really changed, but it could be the reason. Last night was the worse case, woke up and couldn't get my wedding ring off and that finger never swells but now they all are doing it

Yeah I'm going to speak to them but I was told my salt intake is low as when I get up I almost feel like passing out and am having low blood pressure but I'm getting blood work soon so we will see

I no longer have it i actually walked out the hospital without it and then I have been checked since and everything is normal thus far

I'm confused were you eating for the entire time taking breaks. I'm suppose to space my meals 3hrs apart and not drink 30 mins prior or after. I would use caution you don't want food stuck.

I'm almost 1 year post and just went through the worse gas pain for 3 days straight it was hurting my chest and back I really need to try something too. Sucks hearing your 2 years post and still have that issue but good to know I'm not alone.

Ouch sounds like my cravings lol but I didn't give in to them at all for at least 4 months post to scared and to motivated to lose. You can eat sugar free pops it might settle the craving a little. When you get further ahead I make a hot chocolate that I got addicted to, it's water unsweetened coconut milk, unsweetened coco powder and splenda top it off with a small amount of fat free ready whip. That settles my chocolate cravings

I think your calorie intake is to low I consume 1000-1200 calories and I would try to up my excersize I also get about 80grams of protein in this has all helped me break through stalls

Per my nut I'm suppose to eat a cup of food at 9-12 months post op and maintain that for life at your stage I was still eating 1/4 cup and then around 6months I was at 1/2cup which is where I still am I'm almost 10months post

No I haven't done therapy but If I had to choose I would go with group just to have some feed back from people who could possibly be going through the same thing as I am not just someone counseling me on what to so and who hasn't done it

So it depends on you I have come to my own realization that it is extremely addicting for me and if I get some today I want it tomorrow so I have found that I will occasionally indulge in a slice of cake but I keep that minimal and not often once a month. My weakness is movie theater kettle corn that I have 1 a month.

I'm had it the entire way it got better after 4 months but I still have it after eating anything just now I only occasionally suffer bad enough to take something for it. It started in the hospital for me. I always had it before surgery too it's just worse and everyday now and every meal Still small price to pay. Surgery was 6/13/16

Greek yogurt okios triple zero are good I would do sugar free pops at your stage and sugar free jello. When I got to the soft foods I would scramble egg whites cheese wedges are really good. Premiere protein is delicious banana flavor is my favorite

You can eat the serving size which is 1/4 cup to stay low in carbs but it does taste really good I like strawberry

You can also have quest protein chips lots of protein and less then 5 grams of carbs tasty too
