I was on a 1200 calorie diet for 6 months before surgery. I lost around 50lbs in that time. It was really easy to follow.

Congrats and good luck. Summerlin as in vegas nevada area? I'm in Las Vegas and Dr. Teng did mine in july. Sent from my LG-H343 using the BariatricPal App

I got a call back from my Nut. She said to just stay my course and watch my salt. I don't eat enough to worry about a stict cardiac diet. I'm so happy to hear that, I was seriously worried about changing my meal plans. Sent from my LG-H343 using the BariatricPal App

@@LisaMergs Do NOT apologize for your feelings. It is hard to believe that someone we trusted would shamelessly share our secrets with the world. Hold your head high and never let the gossip group rent space in your head, they have so little in their lives to make them happy that they have to bury others in order to feel good about themselves. Personally I say f#&$ em, let the talk and wisper. This is your life and something you did to improve your health and well being. NEVER let the shame you or make you feel like less of a person for what you have done. This is NOT high school and you don't have to take their shit. Be Brave, Be Proud, Be Strong You are not the town prostitute f&$king the town preacher. You have NOTHING to be ashamed of. You will be in my heart and prayers that god will give you strength to over come this hurt. Sent from my LG-H343 using the BariatricPal App

I did when I sipped to much to fast. I live in las vegas and it was in 110 - 115 degrees when i had my surgery so i didnt think about sipping when i got to hot and gulped Water. I soon got over that slip up Sent from my LG-H343 using the BariatricPal App

I did the same thing. I dont care who knows and I answer all the questions asked. I also felt that I needed to tell those I'm with the most in case of an emergency. I need someone to be able to inform emts or doctors I had this done. I have been asked if I would recommend this surgery to others and my answer is always NO I would not, this is a personal decision to make and I will not influence someone into something this important, but I would recommend a great surgeon if you are interested in it.

Just an update.. I'm back home, was released the evening of the 8th. I ended up having an arterial blockage. It took 4 tries to break it up and a butt load of blood thinners. I am now on a walker and have to take aspirin and a blood thinner. I'm one giant bruise but I'm home and alot more healthy then I was. Thanks Sent from my LG-H343 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all for the ideas. I did call my Nut. Just waiting for her to call me back. I will try cooking the fish in foil pockets and see if it helps with the dryness. I tried making salmon and it was dry, I'll look into other fish. I usually go with chicken or turkey but i was told fish is better so I'm expanding my options.

@singlebabe Yes it's all normal the first week or two but it gets better. I had issues left and right in the beginning with Clear liquids. I found popsicles to be heaven. I am almost at two months and sometimes still have issues with nausea. Talk to the doctor and they can prescribe meds oral or suppository. I found the suppository helped better for me and lasted longer. Congratulations and good luck Sent from my LG-H343 using the BariatricPal App
