Fat burning mode bc the carbs are depleted. Usually get there with an Atkins type low carb diet. You'll notice darker urine. Ketones are released in the urine. A byproduct of the metabolic processes. Hence the name. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Bankruptcy is there for this exact reason. It's to give you a fresh start. It doesn't sound like you went on a credit card shopping spree. It would be smart to get a discharge and a fresh start. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I jumped 8 lbs after the first visit, bc I did not know it counted as the first visit. I was actually told it was not counted toward my 3 month program... Lost 12 the next month. Did not hinder approval at all.

I am at four weeks. I have found that I have about four consecutive days of losing and then three or four days of maintaining. I picture a rubber band getting stretched and then pulling in, over and over. I'll take it as long as it keeps moving forward. Congrats, and good luck.

My doctor did not want me to go back on my meds after surgery. I was taking 2 lisinopril per day. I am a month out and my blood pressure is great. Hope I never have to go back on.

I would suggest most responders re-read what I wrote. My point was that if it was a likelihood that alcohol was likely to cause a leak our warnings would be more than suggestions from nutritionists to lay off alcohol for a month, or three months, or 60 days, or six months. I cannot help it that most responders want to push their own self reached beliefs or fears. And SMG, if you are relying on warnings on your hydrocodone as one of your warnings against alcohol post-bariatric surgery, you are proving my point. Now, as to whether I had a reputable surgeon, top rated hospital in the State of Georgia.

7 day liquid diet here. You will be fine.

You're talking awfully soon about cheating. You're stomach is smaller. That's what you went in for. That will get you only so far. And it will not get you anywhere if you are going to allow yourself days of ice cream. I just know that most of us got here because one chip leads to half a bag, or a spoonful of ice cream leads to a pint. I would guess that 99 percent of this board wants everyone to be a success. And, I hope you really take the advice of doctors to find a different outlet for those feelings. I would find someone to talk to about strategies to help you do that. I would hate to wake up 6 months down the road at the same weight and 1/4 of the stomach.

No actually, I am a personal injury attorney that is very familiar with causes of action for failure to warn. I'm not relying on a website medical degree, but rather logic and knowledge of how doctors are taught to cover their asses.

Let me say this too, if having a drink or two or even three close after surgery were likely to open your staple line and flood your belly, there would be some bold print warnings in all of our packets.

I had a glass of red at two weeks and two days with no problem. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I used to use lose it app which I liked a lot. I've started to use the Fitbit app so it's all integrated but I'm not yet sold on the food part of the app. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You probably signed a consent form that if it became necessary they could change the procedure. And, if you are otherwise doing well, damages are not going to be so great to justify the costs of expert witnesses, etc. I would definitely never trust the doctor again if they didn't inform you of the change afterwards. I'd find another doctor. You will face a statute of limitations for legal action. I haven't seen your records so I would encourage you to talk to a lawyer in your state asap.
