      They have given you sound advice, high protein and low carb will melt the weight right off of you. I have done it several times and each time excess weight melted off, my body may be different than yours but I actually would loose 10lbs easy the first week, granted it was just water weight but that gives you a real example. If you go high protein, low carb and cut out a lot of the fat you should see awesome results quick.

      I have to lose 5-10 by next visit with the surgeon, so I'm using iTrackBites. It mimics Weight Watchers programs, but you only have to pay for the app once, rather than a monthly fee. It won't cause drastic loss because it's designed for the gradual loss, but it helps me to not be hangry all the time lol

      gained 10 pounds so im currently required to go on a 10 day liquid diet before they submit to insurance! today is day one but its going well so far ive had 2 shakes and 32oz of water still have 3 shakes to go

  3. hey I see that your surgery date was only 3 months ago and youre almost down 100 pounds!!! that's amazing hope I move that swiftly lol

  4. keep up the great work you gave me so much hope im currently the weight you started at and I have no procedure date yet and was afraid I would get to small but you look awesome! yessssss:1297_raised_hands_tone3:

  5. about 3 weeks ago my surgeon told me he seen that I had helicobacter pylori and I was administered antibiotics. I go in for blood work on july 3 to see if it has cleared has anyone else had this issue if so did it clear up if not were you still allowed to go through with surgery?

  6. Waiting to take my 3rd nutrition class july 3 before getting a procedure date, My insurer requires this before they will approve the RNY procedure, which is fairly common from what I have learned. Well, I ended up gaining three pounds, which put me 3 pounds over my starting weight at my first weigh-in for this program. I am so frustrated because I really haven't been eating terribly and I have been exercising. My body literally clings to this weight like its life depends on it, which is why I am going through with the RNY in the first place. I wondered if anyone else has had this problem, or if anyone was approved for the surgery even if they were a little over their starting weight. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  7. hello anyone on here that resides in Houston and has the gastric bypass done? or has anyone on here had Dr Primomo at the Davis clinic as a surgeon?
