I am so sorry. No help but some things are not meant to be..yet and when you have your surgery you will do amazing and lose lots of weight. I'd stick to low carb until you have your date. My pre op was just a low carb plan. So your still ready when you get the call. Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

If you feel the sleeve surgery is worth it for 5 BMI points , then go for it Everyone will have there own views on it, but only you know best. How many lbs is it you need to lose till healthy weight? It seems you are pretty good at maintaining loss alot of us are not so bad at losing but bad and keeping it off, it was the case for me. I was 235 on day of my surgery no regrets, would I have done it at a BMI of 29? Nope, but many people who have a BMI of 50+ Tell me they would not have done it at a BMI of mine So we all only know about ourselves. Your goal is to prevent ill health and I get it , and respect that. If we all did it before we had problems it would have been better for most of us I would really listen to my Dr though.

There are different types, is she suggesting a weave?Glue ins?Clip ins?

When I eat breakfast, anything that I usually eat later on that is usually fine, causes my tummy to feel gross and hurt, and I just feel nasty. I tend to not eat my first meal till after 1pm and it goes down fine. I try different things but unless its the afternoon i feel horrible like my tummy is just not ready to start the day is this normal?

Thank you everyone for your answers I made a batch of steak alittle chopped onion and peppers. in the oven 2 ounce containers of steak and chicken 2 ounce containers, ( I am allowed 4 ounce, but if I have space I want to have the other 2 ounce of spinnach in another container. But ... 2 ounce of steak or chicken I am stuffed. I am so happy its so awsome!!!

Exactly what I was thinking.. Especially as she has said she has done tests and they are telling her the same things sounds like they have tested and they have found no medical reason for the gain? But perhaps she will come back an elaborate, and know we are just trying to help as I know I used to be dead sure I was barely eating anything to gain , I Believed it. I would call that denial. But if she is sure she is only having 800 cals I would keep chases the doctors to find out whats happening, and if she has such amazing control to be eating 800 cal since march and still piling on the lbs she doesnt need wls as surelly the lbs will still pile on?

I thought most places want to see you being able to commit and lose some weight before allowing surgery. Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

Eating 800 calories since March. And gaining 30lbs almost is a real concern. Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

Unexplained weight gain as in.. You were just eating salads and the weight piled on ? Did they find a reason for this unexplained weight gain? After wls you eat about 800+ calories. If you are 100% only eating 800 calories and not losing a lb what do you feel weight loss surgery will help with? ...Unless....Your possibly eating more than 800 calories...Sometimes.. And admittedly need help with portion control like the rest of us. For Me the first step was being honest with myself. Yes I ate low calorie all day. Higher than I needed other times. It adds up. But only you know the truth. If you have a medical condition causing you to gain when you are eating in a deficit that needs to be addressed before WLS. No judgment just trying to help.

When you move onto dense protein you should be able to feel the restriction, keep up with the amount your nut said even if you feel you have more space. As you are still healing you may not know the signal for had enough.

Hi All I am not 'African American' But I am British, of African Decent(Lived in Africa for some parts of my education aswell as parents being from there... I am 7 weeks post VSG, SW 244, CW 217 GW 135 , I hope I can join into this thread The UK version of 'African American' is 'Black British'

I have not watched the video, if it is a myth, why am I seeing people saying " I have been resleeved9 which I did not think is possible to have any less stomach) because 5 years down the line after overeating the whole time, I stretched my sleeve and needed to have it re done. ) I can not imagine it is something to lie about..

Hugs OP. I won't say much, as there seems to be arguing no matter what post its on.. I want to say, I am so sorry for your loss,and I understand its easy to run to what has brought you comfort in the past, drastic unexpected changes (Eg, loss of a loved one , even if it was expected its not easy to come to terms with) make us want to revert to old habits that kept up feeling 'safe' , please consider bereavement counselling. My pm box is always open.

Weldone! I almost got to 64ounces my last cup but i fell asleep damit i need an acountability for my water as i know it would really help me if i can stick at it!

I am thinking I need to forget trying to make cute recipies and just meal prep these simple stuff

Thanks for replying So in your weightloss phase would you just eat these on its own to make the most of your tool? Or still have veg with it? Your weightloss is amazing. i am 216/217 at the moment it would be a dream to get lose a big amount. It seems like I will never get there ha

Dense protein for most. But specifically as a whole what meals?

Glad you had fun I am 7 weeks post, for the first time after my holiday I maintained, lol i died when i returned and weighed in the evening and looked like i was up four lbs lol woke up and weighed as you should after a pee and i was the same phew lol , its so good you have a healthy relationship with weight and food

What does your menue look like

i used to do IF with BPC , but I can not imagine it now, half my calories for the day going on a drink I think it would taste abit to heavy for me right now too.

You are both right. People coin the word fasting to have many different variations. The two main ones: Fasting means no food or liquid other than water. then some allow black coffee/tea no sugar. Fasting associated with low carb etc, is were you are allowed fat because it does not cause an insulin spike. Alot of people do 'bullet proof coffee fasts 'and have great success. But many prefer to abstain from any calories during their fasting window, and it works for them. Alot of people find this type of fasting to have alot of 'healing properties' & have great success. Many choose to allow fats in their fasting window and it also works for them. But it just depends on the individual, their needs, health, goals etc. which form of fasting suits them best.

Your husband is supposed to support you, you are supposed to feel you can talk to your husband about any issues you are facing , so clearly there is a problem, you should communicate to them that you are not feeling like you can talk honestly and openly. Holding things in can effect us negitvaly.

Crystal light , anything you can have just have it, popsicles etc You got this. Do what you can.

I do not understand why they flipped out, I misunderstood that part, you are unable to drink water, and you feel you can drink juice as to not be completely dehydrated which is life threatening, They would rather you drink nothing? There logic is lost on me, as juice may have sugar etc etc. But I would rather you drank whatever you could get down so you do not end up in hospital on a drip.
