PCP’s negative response to my wls
Unfortunately even doctors can still poor information outside of their specialty. This is why you have a Bariatric surgeon to give you real information instead of anecdotal evidence. Congratulations on your upcoming surgery ❤️

Penne Alfredo (for my BF) This pasta is made out of red lentil flour only. The instructions say to cook for 7-9 minutes but I found that it needs maybe 10-12 minutes to be tender otherwise it’s molto al dente. I tried about 10 pieces and they were ok. I still don’t like pasta even though I love red lentils. It’s the texture for me.

3rd Wk post-op overdone it walking too fast
I think you’re right, you may have done too much too quickly. But hopefully that’s all and you’ll be back in good shape in no time. Get Well Soon ❤️

Maintenance anxiety
? I completely agree ? I definitely work better with the Vince of choosing a range and working to stay in it.

Losing too much
As many studies and veterans will attest, you will hit an all time low but it *usually* is not the final weight you’ll stay at. There is often a rebound upward to some degree. You may not have to worry just yet about gaining unless your surgeon is concerned. Congratulations on your success so far ❤️

More restriction after PS?

What Should I Pack For VSG Surgery?
I agree, a lot less is needed unless your traveling from far/abroad. I feel like most people can get away with bringing nothing but cellphone, Identification and insurance information.
