Embarrassing BM changes (TMI)

May I suggest flushing at various points in your bathroom session, smaller amounts SHOULD flush easily -

The person that began this thread obviously is an adult and WANTED a consensus from the court of public opinion. That individual can chose to accept or ignore the opinions that they choose. That being said the tone of the topic including the honesty about eating habits deserves honest answers, feels like a public cry for help, when it should be one made to that individual's medical team -
What you wish you'd known before having weight loss surgery
GreenTealael replied to UndercoverDiet's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
And no need to be worried about regrets (you'll see for yourself ) plus I'm only 7 weeks out from surgery so I assume eventually it will become second nature and I won't even notice anymore -

GreenTealael replied to UndercoverDiet's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I absolutely DO NOT regret getting sleeved, I would do it again in a heartbeat, should have done it years ago. Eating and drinking is just something to be mindful of because the overall success of these procedures depends on following through with the plans and rules without cheating so I never cheat. And that means no eating and drinking within 30 mins of the finish of each session. -

That I would live my life in 30 minute blocks... -
Hi everyone, I decided to have surgery after a small amount of time (one week after first seminar with extremely diligent research of various medical journals and studies ) and from my first meeting with the surgeon to surgery date was only five months. I feel like the brevity of the experience was an advantage for me not to talk myself out of it. Anyone else have a fairly quick experience?

Not bad but I find that I'm living my life in half hour increments lol

Does a lower BMI mean you'll lose less or slower?
-
I only considered it after I found out my new insurance (Medicaid ) would cover it without a ton of hoops to jump through unlike my previous insurance Empire
-
It can be hard to find good snacks and you are now 11months out from surgery so it may become easier to be less diligent with your food choices being on plan if you really want it no one can stop you but this one item may trigger a slippery slope, and no one wants that

6 1/2 weeks out and almost meeting my intake goals. People are noticing and asking questions (I told no one about the surgery ) I also actually consumed 700 cals yesterday, previously I was only getting in about 500 tops!!

Wow, I don't feel so alone anymore I see alot of people here have been waiting close to a year sometimes more and I can't relate Tea

7 Weeks Post Op (with pictures)

Girl ... bald can be cute Wigs can be cute But healthy is sexy

I have been worried about the same thing although I'm only a month post OP. I have found out that there is little correlation between biotin and hair regrowth in this situation, but L-Lysine seems promising. Also ferritin, iron store levels seem crucial. Please Research Telogen Effluvium , iron, ferritin and L-Lysine, and see if any of this information helps.

definitely stay on top of your calories but call your doctors -
It matters when dealing with insurance companies covering the procedure, if you pay out of pocket it may not. But if you have documented comorbidities that may bypass the BMI requirements. Meet with a surgeon, contact your insurance company and go from there.
