But then, how do they do liposuction without you bleeding out?

Cs can't get to tube socks, more like booties! That's wonderful! 130s soon, for sure! Congrats!

But, I'll make a skinnier corpse!

Protein waters might be easier on your stomach for now. But focus on your fluids! The protein will come.

Sorry you're experiencing this. What caused the dumping?

No matter which surgery you have, there are ways to sabotage yourself. For instance, eating sliders because, face it, we get pleasure from eating and sliders let us eat larger amounts. Many people who've been really successful don't spend a lot of time in the forums. The forums tend to be full of people who've had issues. We love the successful vets who are still around and provide advice and inspiration, but they are few and far between. So, don't think that the forums are necessarily representative of the entire wls community. Good luck with your surgery and I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Yeah!

I had two wls with cigna last year. No problems, quick approval.

That's terrible. I would think your surgeon should be very concerned that you can't keep anything down. What does he/she say? I had mine out Feb 27th, but fortunately for me, I was a year out from wls, so I was able to eat well beforehand. You got hit with a double whammy.

So sorry! Hard lesson learned - many people don't tolerate eggs well for a long time. Also, the pickle juice may have irritated your sewn tummy. Hope you feel better soon. I could only do 1/4 cup for a long time. Maybe you can try soft fish (I poached tilapia) or protein oatmeal for starters. Good luck!

If you eat cheese, I enjoyed broccoli-cheese soup or cauliflower-cheese soup, blended.

The 3-week stall usually happens anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks post op and can last for up to 3 weeks or so. It sucks, but it's just your body reacting to all the mean sh!t that you've done to it lately. You just need to follow your plan and push through. You can do it!

Best wishes for a smooth procedure and a speedy recovery!

I needed probiotics to get solid poops. They gave me antibiotics by IV in the hospital and I always need probiotics afterward.

Fantastic! Yay, you!

I found them both!

I didn't get it because the links don't work! I found the links:

Even at times that weight loss slows or stalls, you often lose inches. It helps to keep you motivated and positive during the trying times!
