  1. Usually it goes down in like 2 weeks.. I was pain free by then
  2. Waaaaay too much sugar in regular and sugar turns into fat... Water them down or look for sugar free cordial
  3. Yeah I'm nearly 3 months out and still get most of my protein from my shakes... 30g protein. 1g fat 2g carbs 150kcal
  4. Gee some ppl like to live in a fairy tale...not everything is roses and peaches and not every negative is a positive.. We need to experience and embrace pain in order to grow and it builds character... I had a lot of set backs as a child and I learnt everything happens for a reason and it has moulded me into who I am today Unfortunately it means I don't like to sugar coat anything..
  5. Yeah for me the first time I went at like day 3 until like day 14 was liquid because I was on liquid only diet I thought it made sense...
  6. Sorry most of those bars are bad and have hidden sugars and carbs
  7. Fertility rates drop dramatically once a woman hits 40. but it's not impossible of course to get pregnant
  8. Don't stress thisis the best decision you could make
  9. Great job. My step dad gave up cold turkey one day about 25 year ago
  10. I do every day and post op too no issues that's the only way for me to get sweetness in my tea or coffee
  11. Are you noticing any difference or is it too soon
  12. I was drinking like 30 oz in week 1 and 60oz in week 2 but with bypass... Everyone is different though.
  13. I had the RNY bypass but my surgeon chose to make my stomach bigger than a pouch yet smaller than a sleeve and I'm glad because I didn't have any issues with hitting my liquid goals in from day 1 I rarely have any hunger at all don't even think about food all day like I used to..
  14. Hope everyone is doing well I've just made appointment to see my surgeon for my 3 months post op check up. I'll be doing blood test for all the vitamins and nutrients; Blood test says: IRON STUDIES,B12 FOLATE,VIT D, FBE, LFT/ELEC CRP TFT LIPIDS HDL LDL 2.5 weeks until I see the surgeon should be good I know he'll be very happy with my progress. since day 1 of my journey nearly 5 months ago I'm already down 127lbs and 61lbs since surgery. currently sitting at 195 would like to get to 185 maybe even 180 but I'll see how things go. ? Should be picking up my rowing machine this coming week which should help with toning.. I'm getting very excited for the coming year ahead! THANKS Mike.
  15. Do not get sleeve with reflux issues already!!!!!!
  16. Another fake story to try discredit surgery.. This man had many demons that had nothing to do with surgery if it's even true. I see this person only joined 2 hours ago.....
  17. I agree with working out and things post op or post goal as above it may take months of hard work to see a difference in the saggy skin but it's not impossible as @AZhiker said!!
  18. Some ppl are so close to the bmi requirements they're not allowed to lose weight or they'll not qualify for surgery. so the 6 months is just a formality..
  19. No I started losing weight prior to surgery it's been almost 5 months now & I was losing lb a day for most of it..
  20. I personally see a stall as a challenge; what should I change; what have I done different lately; am I getting enough sleep? Aside from medical conditions; there has to be ways to learn from stalls?
  21. Sounds like life to me don't stress so much
  22. I'm confused...
  23. Yeah I usually hit 80-90g everyday I've never had hair fall out but it is growing a little thinner and slower than normal not as thick as normal before surgery.... I'm sure in a few months it will get better...
