You are at 40 ten weeks, i am 42lbs 12 weeks and my team were happy with me so your doing great. yes comparing is stressful. dont do it. stalls happen. cant be helped aslong as your sticking to your plan.

In terms of driving, I would check your insurance. I was not allowed to drive 2 weeks on my car insurance, even though I was able to, but if you were hit you may not be covered having major surgery. I was in 3 days. Alot of nasuea and gas pain but keep up with pain relief and just take each day as a time, when you feel normal dont start rushing around as then you may feel sore and do not want to set yourself back take it slow.

Oh my goodness.. Someone suddenly has this problem at 3 months go to your doctor, it could be serious. I am only being like this because i wrote dumb posts when its obvs i needed to see . a dr and didnt lol been in hosp 2 weeks and i cant eat now it reduced like you described. I started with stomach spasms/contractions. Dont ask me my situation as it may not be yours but do go to your dr.

Thank you for the info , black people hiding from the sun wont help the already desposition situation, that is interesting, no offence but are you super dark? is it the darker you are the more likely to have vit d deficiancy? I think I am quite dark. but not super dark but never had an issue.

I am not the best at remembering vits, but you may not see the point, but you are not super human. It is a standard recommendation not out of thin air, but from research on what has shown bariatric patients need. Issues may not show up from day one, does not mean they never will.

It seems people are sayin your blood results may be fine but some things do not show up in usual blood work.. So .. How do you really know there are no issues if some things are not tested for? I am just curious?

Black people have low vit d due to race? Is it because alot of black people dont want to get darker so avoid the sun lol or is there actually an issue absorbing vit d? I know i put my arm out when driving and feel ten shades darker lol so i do not stay in the sun long lol were as my friends who are white love the sun , luckily vit d is good for now

May I ask the benefit of weaning caffeine if allowed on someones plan post surgery? I do not have it often but allowed on my plan. But just wondered if there was a reason.

Phew thank you ! Blame all the morphine I'm on for poor vision. Thanks for that I see that now now I need to know were in the uk I can get these when I'm well enough to eat as though I'm 3months out I'm unwell so not eating much.

Is that 96 grams of carb per one cookie?! Im not even low carb but that is got to be a joke. And per 100gram not per cookie. 16g of protein for 96 grams of carbs. Yikes. Not so guilt free to me. Interesting how people see thing's different.

I think while this is a good post. Many buy these products and like them. I hated nectar. Then tried again and love it mixed with something else. We all have different tounges so we may discourage someone from buying something there taste buds may like

Your plan looks appealing to me. I'm not eating currently because of I'll health. But when I start eating id like to follow this. Though I eat when well 3 ounces protein 1 ounce veg perhaps the fat and fruit can be for snack. I don't do low carb but never fit in fruit but miss it. Maybe you can think of a plan for me as maybe a female needs less. I'm currently 5 foot 2 205lbs goal 135lbs I don't exceesise due to bad health so probably don't need as much food as you.

Why are you angry before anyone's even said anything. You want help. But you'r asking us if we can stick to the rules why do we need surgery? There is no need to be rude. and I can't believe that is a serious question. I had this surgery because I needed help or I would have died. The surgery has given me focus. And I couldn't do it without it.

1200 at 3 months? Did I read that right

What an effort. Sounds interesting though. I've got two kids and I barely get time to eat nevermind making shapes lol. Would you do that at a restaurant? I was told to Finnish eating after 20 minutes. Were all told different things it seems

Lol. Alcohol is known for enlarging the liver..hmm can you have it when trying to shrink your liver and prepare for surgery? Glad you asked as its easy for no one to mention it in the pre op chat as it can be assumed as obvious. But good to ask. No drinking for a while. depending on plan.

My sleeve was its original size it had not been stretched, so i meant shrinking smaller than a normal sleeve not shrinking back to a size after being stretched if you see what i mean?

The 'sleeve' reset, is a pouch reset but i havent got a pouch i have a sleeve.. but i have seen the diet, why?

I know people are usually asking if it can expand, but found nothing about this. Can it shrink? I am 3 months out , and in hosp so have had issues eating due to a non sleeve related problem i am just unwell, over 2 weeks my food amount has gone down that last few days i have not eaten at all, but today I had one bite and was full, tried one bite again and was full. So my theory was over this 2 weeks I have been in hosp the decrease in food must have caused my sleeve to shrink? Especially the couple of days I went 2 days with no food. But just wondered if my sleeve has shrunk as I felt the fullness i used to feel after much more food of the same type. Thanks (Yes they keep offering me buildup drinks cal/nutrition drinks, but I do not feel I need them yet as bloodd work is good in terms of vitamins and I take my vits. I can't get my head around drinking my calories again i dont drink protein shakes now for abit .. )

Ahh okay i love lettuce, only 3 months out well i usually do not had it in a while but that salad sounds amazing though .

I never said you said anything, jeeze i was just asking what this post meant as it made no sense to me, wow. well glad you reminded your self, sorry for actually not just scrolling past and actually responding. My mistake. You wrote it on this forum so I thought oddly perhaps something may have happened.. On this forum. I know strange thought .I will leave your thread now. Your response was quite defensive when I was only trying to get a clearer picture what you were actually saying , instead of just reading and not responding.

I have no idea what could be causing your runny stools. But keep an eye on it sometimes change can trigger all sorts of reactions, but dont hesitate to contact your dr if it persists , though fat did cause this once when i had pureed avacado on puree stage.

How far out and how much did you eat? Chicken avocado egg and bacon, and your sure it wasnt possibly you ate too much food that gave you the chest pain ?

Think about it this way, surgery has a risk of infection anyway, would they let you go through surgery already having an infection which means your body will be more vulnerable? People do sometimes get preventtive iv antibiotics on day of surgery, but i mean if you actually are sick or have a temp surgery will not usually go ahead. i have heard horror stories of people who lied about having a throat inffection brought there temp down themself before going in and ended up with alot of problems. but your dr wouldnt just give them to you unless he felt you needed it so dont worry yet speak to your surgeon too as he may want to do something keep your fluids up i dont know anythign about your health concerns and things you mentioned about medical stuff so cant help

I am 3 months in and dont do shakes, I do not like the idea of drinking my calories anymore though I have alot left, but at home i ate alot of chicken and such and got to my goal easy with protein i prefer to get from food, now i am in hosp i could benifit from some protein shakes but the thought of drinking cals outside cofee what i allow while in hosp is not for me
