Hey Johanna, I understand your struggle 100 percent but here is what I think you should do. you have done a huuuuge step even though you might not notice it, * you actually realized that you have a problem with obesity and you want to change* try not to put so much pressure on your self because you might end up getting very frustrated and end up consoling your self with more food. I think you should look for a good surgeon and go to a seminar and see if you really want surgery. The way I saw the 6-month weigh-in was a tool to mentally prepare me for my new life. During these six months, you should start making changes in your eating habits and your lifestyle in general. The time will go by extremely fast. You have this forum along with your bariatric team for support. You are not alone.

Yes so a little update. I couldn't wait and I took a home pregnancy test and it was neg thank God.

well, let me start by saying I got my surgery done 1 weeks and a few days now. I was supposed to have my menstrual the day after my surgery and NOTHING has come yet !! . Even though they did a pregnancy test the day of my surgery and it came our neg I'm still freaking out . Did this happened to any of you?

so wait wouldn't the cheese on top hurt ur stomach since is not really soft ?? or did you just eat the ricotta in the bottom??

haha thanks very much . Yesss no breast milk for me !!!!!

Thank you sooo muchhhh girl !

Hey guys so I am officially on the losers bench !!!!! What were the things you started eating during your pureed/blended stage ?? I don't have many ideas =(.

Approved in 4 days

Hey guys , I will like to try out a few grass-fed whey isolate proteins that don't contain any heavy metals . The ones I've found have aloot of carbs or alot or calories . please helllp !!!!

You got this girl !!

Hey!!! I was actually dealing with this same problem. In fact, on my last weight in had lost 6-7 pounds and managed to stayed exactly on 243- with a bmi of ***40.6** . Believe it or not meal prepping will save your life during these 6 months . I stopped drinking juice, bread etc. I would make fresh juice with some kale etc when I wanted juice . I would eat oatmeal in the morning with some fruits , and tea(a bit of honey) , Chicken breast ( or ground turkey) and a small amount of rice and a side of vegetables, sometimes I would have farina and alooot of water and ***teaaaa specially chai or black tea with milk( loove it ) . Good luck . Time will fly .

I hope you feel move better tomorrow !

I read in another post that dizziness, fast heart rate and difficulty breathing are associated with dehydration. My surgeon also told if I felt any of those symptoms including, fever and chills to go to the emergency room asap. Good luck.

premier protein

Hey guys ! so I'm on day 6 of 14 of my liquid diet and I started experiencing a dry mouth sensation . I do drink at least 64 oz of water + other liquids a day . Did this happened to any of you, if so what did you do to feel better??? THanks

Yes, two weeks for me

feb 21 in Gods name. !!! 7:30 am

Im on day 4 of 14 WHOOOhooooo . In Gods name I will not cheat. this diet is supposed to shrink your liver, clean your colon and also help you adapt to what your new life will look and feel like (with your new stomach and body!!) try not to cheat your self. Today was one of the hardest days for me. I really wanted to eat peanuts, kale anythiiiiiiiinnng but nop I thought about my repercussions. I believe they will cancel surgery if u don't lose from 8-10 pounds. Best of luck. We are all here for each other !!!

I believe we shouldn't have gummies at all . Only liquid or chewable for the first couple of month . Please double check with your surgeon.

Your doc should give you a folder with all his requirements . He should know what are the requirements for your particular insurance. You should call your insurance to double check that they do pay for bariatric. BELIEVE ME TIME GOES BY SUPEr fast . Good luck.

Awesome . Thank You!

Hello everyone, So I am 11 days from having surgery. I'm actually a little bit confused with the "stage 2" post-op . What exactly are we supposed to have during this week. Please give me a few examples. thank you!!!!! .

Yes . So far the experience has been great with him and all his staff . Yes im currently on day 3 of my liquid diet(omg) . He will do your endoscopy him self . U can message me if u have questions and for support. Is not an essay journey but time does go by fast.Best of luck

AWESOME !!! No having mines on the 21 . How about you?

Yup! . My BMI was 40.6 when my surgeon submitted my papers to insurance and they approved me with no problem. I have no co-morbidities. Good luck ?
