My team told me to wait 3 months so I did.

I wish I could answer, but I have never really tracked. I was 244 day of surgery, 168lbs now , I am 7 months out and to be honest I dont think I would have any problems maintaining as I maintained at Christmas by grazing lol. Sorry that doesn't help haha.

If you ate a full sandwich without realizing your eating to fast. Take your time. And try to say cut in half . Put the other half away so your not tempted to eat more. I'm 7 months out I couldn't dare try and eat a whole tuna sandwich . After half I feel I might be dying lol Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

Yikes. I don't know what looks normal for anyone else. But this would not be normal for me. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

I love being able to eat less than my 4 and 5 year old lol Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

I have seen many. Surgeon opens paitient up. Their liver has not shrunk. And they close them back up. There are many pre op diets. But your doctor puts you on the one that suits you the best. I'f you have come this far and cheated in the way you described your hyperthetical question. No judgement from me. But prepare to be disappointed with the outcome. Some manage to have the surgery just fine. Some don't. Speak to your team if you have done as described in case they can put you on a more aggressive plan for the last few days to make sure your liver has shrunk. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

How about the fact that alot of places refuse to do it anymore.. I would say that is a huge indication. There is the " one thing may not work for one but work for others " but the fact alot of people are reporting their surgeons won't even do them anymore tells you alot don't you think?

Bmi of 32. I wonder if you should just look into. Sleeve. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

I wouldn't waste my time on such a surgery. My surgeon won't even do them. But if it's worth the risk for you go for it. I've met not many people who don't regret it. What is your stats? Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

Mine said 32 which is the smallest he uses. But I don't think it really matters. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

I rarely track. My plan isn't a low carb plan. I'm now 75 ish lbs in 7 m down. Which I'm happy about as I was a light weight. And if my weight slows. I'll cocentrate on lowering my carbs. It works for me. I don't like bread now thoughSent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

Double check with you team. I'm 7m post and have It heavily diluted Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

Weldone. What's your height Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

Hi . Weight Wise you've done very well. I think we really have to be paitent. As I used to go on just shakes for 7 days just to get the boost of weight loss. It's not nessesary. But basics like others have suggested of lean protein bites of veg will really work. It just will take time the closer you get to goal. You doing great. My hw -250 surgery day 244 July 4th now 168lbs. It's slower now but I'm trying to be patient. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

What's your daily eating like and Cal's? Some people lose slower when they have less to lose also Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

No. I had none. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

My plan allows and mentioned flat soda. I tried it once at 6m. Opened in fridge over night half water half soda in a glass. Was fine. Prefer to do without.

Creek I'm bad at maths. Sw 250 4th July what should I hope to weigh at one year aprox Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

And yes we all can diet on our own. But the restriction makes the process easier. And we are most likely to keep it off. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk

Hi there My surgery is successful. I'm 73lbs down. 7 months. Less hunger did not start till three months post for me. It's so early that your still healing I understand your concerns but you may not be fully healed to be feeling fullness how you will do further out on super dense protein. Many people do not struggle with liquids. I did but not all do. Bougie size wise. I personally wouldn't worry . Alot of stomach was removed . He wouldn't go in to not remove the amount correctly. You say you expect to have a negitive reaction to over eating. Well you should not be over eating to even know what reaction you would have. I don't over eat personally. So can't answer that point. 7 weeks - 20lbs is amazing. You couldn't lose that pre op . Or if you could it for me wasn't likely to stay off. In all honesty. No eating less is not will power alone. But yes will power included. I could eat way more than I allow myself but chose not to. But your feelings and concerned are completely valid. I just don't feel what you mentioned is anything concerning ( for me) but understand it is for you. Sent from my Vivo 5R using Tapatalk
