Don't make things up, be honest especially with yourself VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

When you do this they can't help identifying down the road how to adjust your diet for loss, maintenance etc, because you've been "perfect" all along... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I after my consult I called EVERY doctor and scheduled EVERY visit, same day ( I was ridiculous) that way I just had to go when the time came. No more worries. There were two doctors that were contacted by my team so I never had to worry about those, I just showed up when they told me to. Safe Journey ! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

A lot of people come here looking for permission their programs won't give themVSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Some of us want it, and I'm not talking one on one time, that's preposterous. But if there was a place where just info could be left, like a vets hand book , where vets write about their experiences, it would be helpful. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Will to succeed Skill of Surgeon Mental health Diet Exercise Emotional stability Supportive home environment Luck I think external influences are missing, like doing it for someone else, for revenge, this or death, etc. Those can be strong motivating forces (positive or negative) VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Sorry, this is happening. No one on either side of the equation deserves to be treated poorly. Abuse can come in many forms, emotional, physical and financial. It can even happen to men. It *sounds* a lot like what you may be going through. But no one will be more qualified to help than a marriage , mental (and financial counselor) give these resources a try, give it your best efforts, so that whatever plan you come up with will be a success, just like your weight loss journey.

Maybe just for rants and raves a safe guard message could be placed as you hit submit, to confirm that you understand the policies and violations will result in xyz ... A reminder to give the person a chance to rephrase things before it goes too farVSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I really wish there were more VETS around to give us the real scoop on regain. I really want hear from people who have experience in the matter, I started a thread for it months ago, not one person responded that I could tell. I think they are all gone... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I agree, I'm grateful VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

!!!!CONGRATS!!!! SAFE JOURNEY VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

But we are here, in rants and raves apparently, my own fault (although I can't always see posts by location inside of app)VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

ALL FLUIDS count towards your hydration goals (pure water is superior of course) , Crystal light, milk, broth, protein shakes, Powerade, even Popsicles! Check in with your team for more clarity on the subject. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I can't believe how many post I DID NOT see in this thread WTF, " CARB LIVES MATTER" please don't tell me its not poking fun at what it clearly is... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Honestly, I never about there being real failure rate for people who follow the rules provided. Is that what is being suggested? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Amazing VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

How many protein drinks per day/how far out? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

AMAZING Muscle weakness, always tired? Visit your physician ask for blood tests to see where your Vitamin and mineral levels are, it could be anemia or b vitamin deficiency. These are serious. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

We are proud of you too VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I feel your pain! I knew I was committed 100℅ to surgery during the Barium swallow test. Yes you will likely have to do another swallow/leak test after surgery. Ask your team about the the details, but tbh you don't really care when you are on the other side of surgery. In the hospital they will provide you with anti nausea meds, pain management help, etc. just ask for what you needVSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Anemia (from personal experience) will definitely make you feel like you can't breathe when NOTHING else is wrong, but only a physician can evaluate that. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

This is very very very helpful VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I think stronger moderation of the board (maybe but I don't like stringent oversight) or just reposting of rules before entry (no x,y,z allowed) would help a lot. Everyone had strong opinions and personalities, bit we should be able to coexist here. But I think for sure NEVER EVER any personal attacks. I like this site A lot, and ALL of the participants. We just need to chill sometimes. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167
