    APRIL 3, 2017 WLS SUPPORT GROUP

    I got a big jar of coconut oil and slather it on every time I pass by. Works wonders. I'm supposed to drink 96 oz of liquid a day with half containing electrolytes. Very hard

    Vitamins

    Your surgeon should give you a list of what you need. Mine gave me the option of having my vitamins iron calcium probiotics etc shipped automatically every three months! Awesome
  9. I wish they would let me count protein shakes. Made it harder.
  10. 96 forever is what I was told
  11. I was told no Gatorade never bread No fruit until goal weight is reached.anything soft digests fast so you get hungry faster. Stop with the car bs and grains and go easy on nuts.
  12. 48 percent has to have electrolytes in it
  13. They took me off shakes after surgery. I have to drink 96 ounces a day of fluids

    mild sleep apnea - I'm pissed

    I have severe sleep apnea and had to take my cpap when I had my surgery. I had surgery for another reason a year earlier and they didn't ask for a study but after my levels kept dropping in the nights they told me I should have brought it

    Love my spanx.
  17. I am slow. Lost only seven pounds in first two weeks. Dr said I would lose more slowly because I have less to lose, but I am disappointed.

    Looking for your thoughts...

    When do you start losing? One week out and not one pound

    2 week preop diet cheating

    I had to lose 11 pounds before surgery so went low carb and it took three months . One week out now and no weight loss. So when should I start losing. I never cheated before surgery but had two shakes and one low carb meal which wasn't too hard
  23. Doesn't a support group come with your surgery? I had to attend the months before and two years after. It was added into the total cost along with the nutritionist physical therapist patient advocate and diet class. Support group really really helps! Find one!
  24. They gave me drops at the hospital and that stops any pain immediately
  25. We were told to drink 96 ounces a day forevermore
