Feeling Awkward & Embarrassed About Visible Weight Loss
It’s def uncomfortable . People mean well and I guess I’d also be bummed if they didn’t notice hahah. But after you say it once it isn’t necessary to keep commenting every time you see me- that’s when it gets weird ?

Pre Op Physical Question (female)
Nope on gyno exam! I only had blood work, ekg and general physical.

I feel so down
Congrats on the loss! Orchid is right- have to look at your own numbers! 21% in 10 days?!? When have you ever lost that much that fast ? :) I think I lost about 1 lb every day or two in the beginning too— it adds up! Hang in there- start weighing yourself less often if it’s becoming a lot for you . I know that’s hard! I’m trying to only weigh in 2 times per week haha Try to keep your loss personalized to you and congrats again!

Protein intake
Have you tried premiere protein shakes? They can be sweet so if you don’t like that you can water down a bit. I find they’re the best tasting. Many flavors !

How did you choose between VSG and Bypass?
I had the bypass. I found that many sleevers end up revising to bypass and I didnt want two surgeries. I also didn’t want the reflux possibility and wanted maximum loss . The bypass gives that maximum weight loss - the sleeve is close though! I really don’t see why people say the sleeve is any easier of a recovery. For me- the recovery was super easy. I had 5 small (1/4-1/2 in) incisions and was not in pain - took maybe 3-4 days to be back to normal after gas passing Good luck with your decision

Mountain bread 2 weeks post op
Stay away from bread - especially that short time out. That’s way too much of a slippery slope
