Go back to your nutritionalist and the surgeon for a plan that's suited to your surgery. You have other tools. Use those tools instead of one that is not really designed for your surgically modified body.

I know your in post-op now. I hope you see this when you're up for it and now we wished you well

If I were in your position I'd also schedule a session with my nutritionist. Bring food journals. What you were eating while losing, what you were eating while maintaining, and what you want to be eating so you can make a game plan. The nutritionalist is a big tool and not utilizing him or her might be a mistake. It might be you're not hitting your proteins while overdoing it on carbs, based on activity level. Schedule a session or two with a trainer, find a sport or activity you like. The pouch reset is a good first step, but there are tools and options you can try to move things along

1 year old. My only regret is not doing it sooner and getting more of my life back.

Bad decision. If you're retaining water you need to know. It's a sign of infection. I get the psychological stuff is hard, but you're supposed to be working through that with the help of a therapist before the surgery. The scale is a tool and deciding not to use it because of mental road blocks might be detrimental to your health.

You need to start moving forward regardless of what other people want. It's hard and it's uphill, but some of the resistance goes away after it's done. keep asking if they want you to live a long healthy life.

You look wonderful! Congratulations

Take a week off the gym. You can do active things like go for walks, but don't do much more than that.

I think if the relationship is wrong those problems become more self-evident as you lose weight. It shifts the dynamic around and brings things that have always been there to the surface. If your relationship is strong and balanced then there's nothing here that's going to shake it. (And by balanced I don't mean 50/50 on everything. Balanced means supporting each other and understanding that things have to tip 80/20 sometimes without the world falling apart.)

It's so hard to give advice because we all get different instructions. There's some core principles, but the specifics are harder. My protein goal was always between 80-100 grams per day. 60 seems low. More cottage cheese and eggs, soft food high in protein, if the goal is too hard to get to

I agree with gently letting go of the top couple of sizes. You can donate to a charity of your preference or sell to a consignment store. You should make your life in and closer to your current size. Just because a lovely dress was on sale in a size ten doesn't mean you'd buy it right?

honestly! you were pretty adorable in the first picture. The second is better because you look happier, like more engaged with the picture and whoever is taking it. As for your family, sounds like mindless lashing out because you're succeeding where they failed. They don't mean to be discouraging -- at least not most of them consciously. Ignore it and breeze on.

Sometimes EKGs can be wrong. If they leads are not placed correctly. A left bundle branch is not a big deal. If anything is seriously wrong the mandated stress tests will reveal it long before surgery.

I wouldn't sweat it so much. Get what you can in and don't push yourself on eating. Fluids are most important. Try like Atkins Lift, which is a clear protein drink

I eat it whenever my friends go out. They know if I'm going we're going for sushi and I'm getting sashimi. Our vegan friend has some avocado and cucumber rolls and everyone is happy. I love Indian but everything is pretty carb-loaded and in heavy butter sauces.
