I agree, even thou I am not scheduled until maybe April for surgery, my nutrionist has me taking vitamins now, she stated its best to have you system at its possible best before surgery, but also to eat more Proteins now so it will be in your system for better recovery.

I see alot of people are saying they could have lost more or the same amount weight without surgery, but I am sure we all xan recall some diet we've done in the past were we stalled, gave up, and gained all the weight back. With or without surgery U would imagine its has to be a forever lifestyle change. I should have my surgery in April, but right now I am learning to change all my habits as if I've already had the surgery. I cant really imagine what post op will be, but I know the struggles of losing and regaining weight and how commited you have to be no matter what plan you decide to follow. In addition I found that alot of people do not measure their food or count calories and many people eat some of the same food before surgery but in much lesser quantities.

Congrats, I have 2mos to go on the 6mos diet for approval. I was told loading up on Protein is best, because it will help alot during the healing process. Ive been on the Atkins for 3 weeks now, along with taking Multivitamins. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Good for U2, im going thru the insurance, considering they are paying 99% of it. I have to do the 6mos diet but I only have 2mos to go. Again, good for U2, wish you the best. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Focus on your goals. Think of some fun things you would like to accomplish. For instance, I love to travel, soon ill be looking forward to traveling while feeling healthy, instead being tired & drained, and also feeling so conscience about my weight while trying to enjoy my vacation. Im sure you have some fun personal goals or things you are looking forward to, right! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Great job, im about that size now. Im hoping to have my surgery in April. My Dr. wants me to get down to 225lbs, which sounds good. I was thinking 235lbs. Good thing with you , your new size fits you. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Not sure if you found anyone but just hire a nurse or a housekeeper. Im sure it would be costly but for 2 or 3 days it may be worth if in case of an emergency. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I havent had the surgery yet and I am on another social site for people having the surgery. Ive heard many different version, as you know everybody respond to surgery differently. In view of why we are all here, I think it will be worth whatever pain or discomfort comes with it. Remember it wont last forever. The longest I heard was 4-7 days in regards to the gas pain and pain from the incisions Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon did not push any direction. Im going with the sleeve. I also have to do the 6mos diet for insurance approval. Next week will be #4. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
