  1. Anytime! I may need you to repay the favor soon. By the way your before and after pics look great! Oh yeah I forgot you’re also supposed to take around 20 minutes to eat your meals .
  2. I had my gallbladder removed and it wasn’t too bad but after the surgery be very careful to heal before lifting too much or you will get an umbilical hernia at the incision spot. This has happened to me twice now. Good luck hope all goes well!
  3. I’ve been on here a long time and you make more excuses and whine more than anybody I’ve ever seen on here. I might’ve been hungry but I didn’t indulge. I’ve done the post-op diet twice now and never deviated. You want peoples honest opinions then you call them all names like they’re the problem. If you don’t want responses or answers to your posts then keep them to yourself. Good luck I have a feeling your going to need it! Also I was referring to you eating heaps & chocolates & drinking whine. I never heard anything about a piece of pizza.
  4. Nothing but water for a while & no liquids 30 minutes before or after each meal. Nothing but lean meat grilled or baked not fried. Whole fruits & veggies. No sauces oils or breaded fried foods whole grains on occasion. No bread potatoes corn squash or starchy foods. Avoid broth gravy or liquified foods. Only eat hearty solid foods. Exercise at least 3 times a week. Try it for a month or two & see if you get the results your looking for. Good luck! Also first meal within two hours of waking up then again every three hours through the day and nothing to eat two hours before bed.
  5. I’m not a vet & I find it to be foolish. It’s everything we’re all warned against from the first meeting & by dietitians all the way through pre-op. I’m actually shocked at that kind of behavior 2 or even 4 weeks post-op. I’v personally made excuses for a very long time & that’s all they are is excuses. Why attack someone for making perfect sense. I’m committed to this surgery & after I have it I’m not making excuses anymore. I’m accepting that I have a problem & want to change. I’m not saying I will never eat a piece of pizza or a cheeseburger again but straight out of surgery having not even recovered yet & eating poorly & drinking just seems like sabotage. Sorry if I’ve offended anyone but that’s just the way I see it.
  6. The risk of accidental deaths is due to that fact that after surgery people simply become more active & therefore die sometimes doing things that would not have been doing had they not had surgery.
  7. I was told this surgery is permanent & it can’t be undone & it will yield results unless it’s sabotaged by the people who have it if they don’t fully commit to the lifestyle change.
  8. At the rate your going you’ll be way below your goal weight in no time. Nicely done! ? ? ???
  9. Yes much more so then the last time I attempted this!
  10. Back on board! Surgery January 18th 2018.
  11. I backed out of surgery in the hospital with my IV in at the last second on May 30, 2017 & regret it. I’m rescheduled now for January 18. I researched & had certain doubts/fears as well but I’m ready now. I went back to old habits & my lifestyle/addiction to food was realized. This surgery beats the alternative hands down! I want to run & breathe. Address all of your questions/concerns at every opportunity.
  12. All that matters is that by 6 months you’ll have lost over 100 pounds. And that’s just the beginning. Everyone on here is stressing way to early & not looking at the road ahead. Chillax man!
  13. I was scheduledMay 30, 2017 & backed out at the last second. Had the iv in & was ready to get wheeled to the OR. Now I regret not going through with it & I'm rescheduled for January 18. Don't let being nervous get the best of you. I made it clear I want the Adavan as soon as possible when I arrive at the hospital to curve my anxiety & calm my nerves. Good luck!
  14. If your still on the post op diet then just be patient. If your not are you eating solid foods? Do you stop drinking water 30 minutes before meals & until 30 minutes after your meals? Are you consuming liquid calories? Are you walking at least 3 times a week or exercising? Your meals should amount to 1/2 a cup of solid healthy choices no more than 2 hours after waking then every 3 hours through the day & your last meal/snack should be eaten 2 hours before bed. Now at 3 weeks I would imagine your still on some kind of liquid or purée diet. At 3 or 4 weeks out of surgery you really shouldn’t even be concerned with your weight but focused on getting in your water & protein.
  15. I have a friend who had surgery May 30 2017 & today down 114 pounds. If you expect to lose A bunch of weight in 3 to 4 weeks your expectations are way too high 10 15 20 even 30 pounds is amazing in that amount of time. Everybody’s different but if you follow the plan with your meals and drink your water at the right times it will happen eventually.
  16. That’s more than great! Not sure how that can be discouraging. You lost that in no time.
  17. I’m taking this. I was told by another sleever it worked great after surgery when you can’t drink.I was told by another sleeper it worked great after surgery when you can’t drink.
  18. Tell them you want the Ativan right after you talk to the anesthesiologist. That’s the route I’m taking.
  19. Don’t have those! I did and had to reschedule. Worst decision ever! Hot me up or read my posts if you want to know more but my problem with my weight was realized and so obvious. I regret not getting it don May 30, 2017.
  20. Hey Tim I’m Tim to my surgery is on January 18 it’s the second time I’ve been scheduled lived in the pre-op diet twice.Hey Tim I’m Tim to my surgery is on January 18 it’s the second time I’ve been scheduled lived in the pre-op diet twice.
