Yes i agreebwith you all and I infct called my insurance and had them to change my Doctor and put my new PC name on my insurance card. I thought I was doing great everyone else did as well and so do you guys so , he needs to learn more about this Yani

So my starting weight was 377lbs . On the day of my surgery september 14,2016 I got my weight down to 352lbs . I went to see my surgeon on September 26 I was down to 337lbs as so when I went to see my primary care doctor ,same 337lbs. Today I went to see my primary care doctor and my weight is 326lbs and I got yelled at because he said I must not be doing what I am supposed to as far as my diet because I should be weighing 290 by now and that I need to take this serious. See this is why I have so many regrets with getting this surgery because to be told that I'm not doing what I was told and I and my family knows that I am , well you know really I'm not because I barely eat, I do get my fluids in now. I eat unsweetened apple sauce /jello , eggs and oatmeal. I can not make the weight come off faster. Evrrybodies body is different, as he told me he had other patients who lost a lot of weight 3 weeks out from their surgery. I'm only 3 weeks out now I went and joined the gym planet fitness on Saturday, I went to the gym Sunday and Monday, look I'm trying. What else can I do ? Any suggestions? Yani

Yeah my husband said the same thing , but as I told him I chewed as long as my but, tolde 20-30 times. I just might have to chew it longer. I know I don't want that feeling anymore Yani

Well I know it's not from eating eating to much because I actually did not eat all day and I only had two bites if that to eat. I chewed my food very well at least 20-30 chews before swallowing. And the reason I'm asking because dumping doesn't only come from eating sugar, it also comes from eating something high in fat also or when you eat to fast also. Maybe just what I ate did not agree with me I guess but I am so happy that pain is gone Yani

Is dumping different for everyone? I read when you dump you have the vomiting, sweating, heart race as well as the runs. Now me I ate, and it felt like something was stuck in my esophagus so on my ride home from Philadelphia I kept having pains in my stomach I told my husband, all of a sudden out the blue I vomit twice, first all this foam , second some food . It was back to back. Once I vomit I felt no more pain, that's all the symptoms I had , was the vomiting. So I'm wondering did I have dumping or......... Just wondering if I dump differently, Yani

That should not mess you up at all. You should still be approved for the surgery. Just asking ? How much have you gained? Make sure you work out eat healthy and do what's necessary so that you can get this surgery. Come your goal is to live life Yani Maybe 4 or 5 pounds IMSTLHR You really should be ok with that and if that is what you gained you can easily take them 5lbs off. With walking cutting sugar and bread out. But I don't believe that will mess you up at all. Do a full liquid diet before Yani Agree Yani Yani

With walking cutting sugar and bread out. But I don't believe that will mess you up at all. Because actually me working at a bariactric clinic is what we want to see is you get the weight off and when you do gain a little back we see you can not do it on your own that you do need the surgery. The surgery is really up to the surgeon it's what he or she tells the insurance company , it's what they send in to the insurance company. But I know you got this you won't be denied due to this Yani Agree Yani

Wow. See I'm a viggie lover andbi love me some grilled chicken salad or salmon salad and I am so craving it bad. I mean real bad. To the point I'm ready to take that chance and try it. Yani

Congrats to taking off 50lbs and I pray you feeling better from the surgery, and you are so special because 8/17 is my birthday lol congratulations on your success Yani

Around the 4th or 6th you should see a change in weight. You still is filled with gas and yes Fluid, you may not have iv fluids now but the fluid did not just go awayvthat quick. Also you have to walk every hour. That helps a lot. I had to learn this myself after having my surgery on sep 14 Yani

So Wednesday makes 3 weeks post op and I can start soft foods that day my surgeon said. My question is , do you think I can have garden salad? Yani

What @@Havasumoma saidGreat . thanks Yani

OK good I ate both Yani

Thank you and ok Yani

Hello I want to know what fruits can i eat and also I had me some grits and scrambled eggs for dinner was the grits okay to have. Just trying to learn what I can have and not have. Really love fruit though Yani

OK thanksbi will keep that in mind no pasta. I love me some veggies so that will work out with just veggies and chicken. And what an experience to eat at chef Ramsey's place I just know it was delicious Yani

Well my question is after I graduate from being on pureed foods for 3 weeks next Wednesday and will be starting soft foods for 4 weeks after. What do you suggests ? Which sorts food? Because let me tell you I so have a taste for my homemade chicken noodle Soup. Will that be OK? I also read that salmon Andy fish will be good. How about bake or boiled chicken? Yani

I wish the days go by so I can say I'm 28 days out lol it's so hard at times Yani

Thank you I actually tried it last night slept so good Yani

O no I'm afraid I kept saying I want some fish so darn bad Yani

Once I graduate from pureed foods to soft foods next Wednesday, any good suggestions on what to eat? Is home made chicken noodle Soup OK to have ? Yani

Thank you yes that's another issue is getting the recommended water I am to get. I'm only doing 30 ounces a day if that sometimes. But I guess I got to force myself to drink more but than I get this horrible pain when I do keep sipping Yani
