I’m glad you were able to enjoy something you liked. Don’t let anyone make you feel any type of way for your choices. This is a judgement free zone!

Did you ask him why 6 months especially when it’s not something needed. How often have you seen him this last year?

Hey Guys,

So I had my first appointment with my surgeon on Monday it went great, they set me up with all my appointments and told me if everything went well i would have my surgery by ending of October beginning November. I was super excited UNTIL today. I went to my doctors office to get some more referrals i needed and asked him for the Medically Necessity letter and he said NO. He needed to observe me for an addition 6 months. I can't believe not even my insurance is asking for that much time. Does anyone have any advice, please help.

HAHA! I was walking around Berlin a few years ago checking out the sights, and i stopped at a small convenience mart near the city center and ask for a bottle of water. The lady behind the window asked me if i wanted "still" or "fizzy" (I think it was fizzy). I couldnt really understand because of the accent.
She could obviously tell I was a dumb American who didnt understand, so then she said "You vant zee bubbles or not zee bubbles".
I said OOHHHHHHHH!!! No bubbles please!

Only carbonated Water is good work is alcohol lol. I'm wasn't a big sofa drinker before surgery. Maybe once a week if at all but I really miss my southern sweet tea!!!!

Eh... i asked my surgeon about alcohol and carbonation post op and she told me you have to live your life. If you think you will never have anything sinful you’re just setting yourself up for failure. She also said carbonation is fine for some and hard to tolerate for others, but it’s not harmful to your pouch. She said there is a lot of misinformation out there on the topic, many times used as scare tactics to keep people from drinking full sugar soda.

Unbelievable how judgemental ppl get. Enjoy your diet coke.

Or now that he has practically reached maintenance, he is figuring out how he will navigate life, eating and drinking going forward. Is a drink at a tailgate something that should never be allowed ever post WLS?

So yay! I thought this was a judgement free site. Silly me for thinking I wasn’t going to get condescending comments. If you were actually paying attention I am actually one pound below my goal. But thanks for your input

I passed leak test. They pulled my drain and Foley. Brought me a tray. Water and ice chips are great. broth was nasty. Did a lap around the unit. Brushed my teeth and used bathroom. Time for a snooze

I had a swallow test after gastric bypass. I’m glad they did one to ensure no issues before leaving the hospital.

It is only one shot glass size dose of nastiness. It is over before you know it.

29, 2 weeks post op. I gained all this weight after a horrible relationship. Tried on my own didn’t work, saw a well known dr for Wls here, at the time was considering the band. But it felt like he was pushing his products on me. I felt like if I didn’t buy his products I wouldn’t be successful. Then I gave up fast forward a few years later and I’m actually glad I got it done now. I’m settled into my career and now I can focus on me.

Was able to fit into goal shirt today (pink) and the birthday was before surgery the rest are 6weeks post op and 30 pounds down

Congratulations keep up the good work

Tomorrow will be five weeks post op and tomorrow will also be my husband’s 9th angel day. He was 40 when he passed away. We had just had our third daughter, who was 3 weeks old. It’s the first time I’ve mourned his death with no comfort food, and I believe it’ll be my first weigh in where I haven’t lost a single ounce. I knew that I gained my weight due to my loss and my new found habit of emotional eating, but I guess I didn’t realize how the true emotions must have been masked with food as I seem to be more grief struck than I have been in quite sometime. I seem to be constipated with the increase of Protein. I noticed I seem to be grazing higher fat foods the past few days and am pissed at myself for not stopping this behavior sooner! I’m scared this means I’m going to fail. I want to pick myself up, shake off, and kick tomorrow in the teeth!
I guess I just needed to vent 🤮 #wordvomit

Just stick with it. The time will fly by trust me! Keep reminding yourself why you are doing it

Ugh that contrast is THE nastiest tasting stuff! But you will survive.
