Post-Op practical jokes
What kind of joke is pretending to be sick ? Do people pretend to have cancer ? Or is that not allowed but mental illness is okay. I love a good joke. But making someone genuinly concerned isn't funny. You just sound like an attention seeker. I wonder how many people will be laughing if you came here saying your going to pretend you had cancer.

Recommendation for Cream during weight loss to avoid stretch marks, etc

I can't get used to being thinner!
I'm a 14. For sure still plus size. When people are on the higher scale of obese everyone looks skinny. As I got bigger everyone was looking smaller ha. Congrats on all the loss ! Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

How important is water really!
It's not just about the weightloss. You don't want to develop kidney problems after all you have done to get healthier. I struggle to. But if I mix my drink with Crystal light it's easier. Water is hard for me to manage. But keep focusing. And split your water goal up. X amount before you allow your self breakfast. Same for lunch and dinner. Then you have a small amount to have for bed. In all honesty I don't like drinking when I'm out. So sometimes the majority of my water is had in the evening.

Weighing yourself
I wouldn't weigh everyday if weight fluctuations will be discouraging for you. Now you've weighed ..if you can wait for your appointment it will be so gratifying. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

I've Fallen Off!!!
Im so so sorry for your loss. It's understandable but you needed something familier to comfort you and that was food. Nothing will ever bring your sister back. But focusing on getting your self healthier will surely help you emotionally. You have lost alot of weight so far so you can do it. Pure protein .. Fish . Steak. Whatever With a side of veg or salad. Maybe string cheese and the like for a snack.. This keeps me on track and I have a reduced appetite. If tracking seems over whelming at first. If your sticking to dense protein first. And a few bites if veggies you should feel the restriction to stop. Here if you need anything . I'm only 4 months out so not experienced. I lost my brother a long time ago. And I know the pain. It's no help now but I feel it has gotten easier Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

UGH!!
For anyone else. Use hand gel every time you come in your home and wash your hands more often and if you have kids wash their hands as soon they come in from school a week before your surgery . Sometimes it's inevitable. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

UGH!!
It doesn't even have to be bad. A slight cold can derail surgery. Depending on surgeon of course. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

UGH!!
No. Think about it. Your body is already in a vulnerable position and increased risk of infection. I know someone who had it canceled because of a cold. And another told me about her friend who did not mention to the Dr he had a cough. He ended up on intensive care. Call your surgeon and let them know.

HOLIDAY CHALLENGE TIME!! LET'S DO THIS!
I'm not weighing this week because I had a cholonoscpy so the bowel prep you completely empty your bowels made me lose like 5lbs. But it will go up so I'm going to wait till next week to do a weigh in. As if I record 186 today I'll be 188 next week and it will look like I've gained Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app
