    Very helpful to guys - ok another question - since diabetic and weight my Libido and Captain Twinkie wasn't always up to the challenge. I understand Zoloft can cause this but was wondering if as the weight comes off my libido may come back? I'm 41 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Rolo- I am schedules for Oct 4 - I am also a paramedic and teach a lot. I'm kinda more concerned that you are worrying about calories when you main focus should be Protein. You need that protein to protect your muscle. Reminder the body is goofy it likes to burn muscle. As for having a BM don't get worried about it - check with your Doc and see if you can add Fiber like Metamucil (watch for bloating - I forget the ingredient to watch for). This can help move things along - keep a food log of protein - my target is 100grams a day. Maybe take pills with Protein shake ? Sorry I am giving advise when I haven't had my surgery yet.
