Statistically, no. Most people do not gain it all back. However, if you go back to your old way of eating then, well, of course you're going to regain. The key to WLS isn't losing weight. It's maintaining loss. However, your odds of maintaining a huge loss are much, much greater with WLS than without. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I take Tae Kwon Do four days a week. It's a great mix of flexibility, strength, and cardio (last night we closed class with 50 burpees and 50 pushups). Plus, the class is all adults, half male, half female, and lots of married couples. That means it's also a great place to socialize. I've made new friends and we all keep one another accountable.

When I was on liquids, I used to go to a pho restaurant and buy the broth. Even now, we'll go and my kids will eat the noodles out of their pho and I'll snag the broth. IMHO, you did quite well. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I don't go either. I work full time, have two kids, and those evening support groups are during my workout time. I'd rather exercise. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Yes, it's common. Mine didn't get smaller length-wise (though many people's do) , but they went from wide to medium. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I buy sublingual B12 from costco.It's about $10 for 3 months. My numbers are great. Almost all surgeons recommend sublingual B12. Why don't you start there and you can switch if you ever have an issue? Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

You're not a slow loser. Actually, you're losing at an average or slightly faster rate. You're not even a month out and 20 pounds down. That's on the high end. You need to adjust your expectations. Don't set yourself up for an emotional crash. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I wore a bandeau bra from Walmart. It's 3 for $10, so they're practically disposable. I was a 44 DD at surgery, and they were super comfy in the hospital. I wouldn't wear them out, though...they aren't the most flattering. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

From a female perspective, I'm also really enjoying myself. My theory is that my fat surrounded the most important organ and nerves making everything less sensitive. My sex life had not been up to par for years, but I chalked it up to being older, having kids, and working a high-stress job. It turns out, I just wasn't getting everything I needed because of the fat. Now, holy cow, I feel good! Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I don't particularly like cauliflower, but with strong- flavored sauces (e.g. curry, gochuchang), riced cauliflower is tasty and satisfying.

Different people have different nutritional requirements. There are people who thrive on virtually no carbs, and others need carbs to function well. My NP recommends carbs before working out, but I've never heeded her advice because I don't need to. The best diet is one you'll follow. Find the balance of foods that make you feel great and still lose weight. Make a healthy eating plan you'll want to stick to. If you do have no-no foods, just make sure you're staying within your calories and Protein. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I practice 16/8 intermittent fasting, so I don't eat breakfast. I have never cared for breakfast anyway. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Start tracking your calories in myfitnesspal.com. Chances are, if you're not losing it's because your calories are too high. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I woke up and I was totally wasted, feeling no pain. I was relieved it was over, but mostly I was just high. My husband was waiting in my room, but I sent him to work because I was too far gone to be decent company or appreciate his efforts. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Ow! I ripped off my big toenail in Tae Kwon Do last September. I couldn't wear shoes for two weeks. I do love kicking things, though. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I second this. I eat what my family eats. I just watch my portion sizes. That having been said, I serve my family food I can eat. No Pasta and potatoes on our table. We have scrambled eggs and ham for breakfast, I eat a P3 for lunch, and dinner might be salmon with mashed cauliflower and a green salad.

At 6 weeks out I started taking Tae Kwon Do four days a week. I'm now a green belt and I love it! It's cardio, strength training, and flexibility all in one. Now, I can do the splits, and I've started sparring. The down side is I kicked the target wrong last year and lost a toenail...and it grew back really wonky.

I take tincture sublingually. It works a bit faster than edibles without the calories. It's great for my pain and insomnia. Actually, I'll sometimes take it when I'm obsessing over food. It takes my mind off things. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App
