    Diet Coke

    Diet coke has a lot of calories? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App sorry apparently it doesn't I haven't had soda in a very long time bc I follow guidelines still U get the point if ur told by ur dr not to drink it why ask for permission to from strangers on a public site. The drs give prescription diets for a reason. Thanks and have a wonderful day. Gastric bypass 11/22/16 starting weight 289 current weight 248.

    I worked up to the day before surgery and went back to work three days post op. I felt fine but everyone is different my dr said as long as I was feeling up to it and wasn't on pain meds. Good luck on ur journey. Gastric bypass 11/22/16 starting weight 289 current weight 248.
  9. So how long does the first stall usually last. I haven't lost pound in over a week exercising every day and getting all fluids and Protein in. Getting between 400/500 calories a day. I know i will start loosing again just wondering generally how long the stall lasts. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Doctor Prescribed Shakes

    That's what I spent on mine. And the shakes U will need after as well for a few months and they r alittle pricey. I know some insurance will cover them. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Diet Coke

    My advise to u is simple follow ur drs advice and not a friends advice. Best of luck on ur journey but I hope u chang ur process of thinking it's very early to be sabotaging ur surgery already. Diet Coke has a lot of calories. Just remember where u want to be and what got u in the boat ur in. Best wishes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    This is NASTY!

    Just FYI depending on ur insurance they may cover ur shakes. My insurance pays up to $500 a month for Protein shakes if u had Bariatric surgery. Check with them. I spent so much on ones I didn't like it was unreal I have two big tubs of mix that I don't like equal over $100 just for them and I won't touch them.

    Air Fryer

    I use mine for everything including non breaded foods I love it. They are not cheap but i saved money bc of how much oil I would use in the dryer every month. Now I have my husband eating non fried foods which I thought would never happen!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Snack

    Here is my thing okay and I'm gunna say this with as much respect as possible. But you had a life changing major surgery and one week after not only are you giving into ur cravings but ur craving JUNK. My problem is this. There are so many people out there who have this surgery bc they need it to save they're lives and for the people who have this surgery and don't make it successful that's taking a chance of ruining the statistics of the success in this which could allow insurance companies to no longer cover this surgery if the success rate drops to a certain percentage. So when u make these wrong choices you are potentially stopping people in the future from saving they're lives or making they're lives better and healthier when they truly want it and will follow thru. And with all do respect you seem to get very upset bc people are just trying to give u constructive criticism sometimes even though u may not like that it's what people need to see oh crap I really messed up and I need to stick with my plan. And I'm far from saying it's simple bc it's not but the one thing I can say is since I have started my pre op diet NOV 8. I have cooked every single meal for my family I have baked Cookies home made pies home made cakes u name it. I sit at the table with them while they eat supper. But I haven't even licked a finger when I've gotten something on it. It's not worth it to me I made this choice to make my life healthier. The vets on this forum have read stories like this over and over again and responded hundreds of times. So by now it just short and too the point and they tell it like it is. But they have been successful bc they listened to what they were told and I'm sure to other vets before them. So maybe when reading they're posts don't take it to heart but think I wonder how many others they had to go through this with. They just are not gunna make it fluffy and surgar coat it but say it how it is. It's always with the best intentions believe me when I say that. I for one like reading they're posts and if I did something as stupid as eating junk like that I would want someone to get on me for it. Think of the reasons you made this choice. Would u rather people sit back and say good job and then this all be a waste. I wish you the best of luck on ur journey and home that this helps you understand more. Also when u need a crunch .... crunch on ice. It's on ur allowed list and does the trick!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
