I had my surgery in December and I’ve only lost 26 pounds. I feel like I should be losing more.

So it’s been a month since surgery. I’m down 20lbs. ? but some days I poo a little and then I’ll poo a whole lot and get stomach pains. Then booty hole burns. I think it’s from acid or gas, idk. Anyone else have this??

Thank you both. Yeah that’s true.im glad I don’t have to do a liquid diet for 7 days too. I can’t wait!!!!

I thought everyone did the liquid diet. My doctor has me on dairy, meat and nuts. I am scheduled for the 18th but I have my consultation tomorrow. Maybe a few days before it'll be just liquid too.

I am so excited. I have my pre surgery consultation tomorrow. They needed to move it up from Monday to Friday so I'm good with that! Gave me a tentative surgery date of the 18th!!! I can't wait. So they asked me to start on the diet now that is supposed to shrink my liver. I see a lot of ppl talk about a liquids diet only before surgery but they asked me to eat only dairy, meat and nuts. I can't wait to see what they say tomorrow in my appointment. I'm so ready!!!

Best of luck for tomorrow!!!!

Well I'm okay with not taking the birth control pills because my husband is away on business a lot so I'm not too concerned lol but I was concerned about taking Excedrin for migraines. I think I will call though and ask the purpose of no pills. I'll let you know what they say.

I'm sorry, I don't know what those acronyms stand for LOL. I am doing the sleeve surgery. I feel a little uneducated about my surgery. I been waiting so long for the insurance to approve it that I been focusing on getting them what they want.

I didn't even think about not doing exercises that involve the abdomen. Thank you! I will for sure check with my Dr. I want to make sure I get started in the gym as soon as I can so I can build a routine and habit of going.

That's true. Give me more time to get my diet in line. But to be honest, I kind of wanna eat all the sweets I want now before it really has to change. I gotta change my mentality.

I recently googled why you cant take pills before surgery and somehow came up on an article about pills after surgery and how they can punch a hole in your stomach. so now Im a little nervous for after because I get really bad migraines. I usually take Excedrin but I think that might be an issue after surgery.

I will be checking for sure. Thank you.

That is so great though. I am so happy for you. For a woman, feeling good in your clothes is an amazing feeling. Congrats!

Are you allowed to take phentermine after surgery?

Ah. Thank you. I can't wait for my appt before the surgery so I will know more of what to expect. I'm kind of freaking out. I'm nervous and I want to do it NOW but I gotta wait til next month.

How long after your surgery were you able to go to the gym? And were you able to do a full hour of exercise??

I'm nervous for the 2 week pre opt diet to shrink my liver. I know I have to do it. I don't want to go through all this to not be able to have the surgery.

I've never heard of protein water. Does it have a taste?

I was so excited and hoping to have the surgery this month but I was on birth control and they said you have to be off that for 30 days so I have to wait to December. My doctor also said no pills. Does anyone know why you can't have pills for 30 days?

I am! I go Dec 10th for the all day consultation thing and then in 2 weeks I should have the surgery. I'll get the surgery date on Dec 10th. I'm excited and nervous!!! It's a lot of pressure to lose weight and do the right things after going through surgery to help you lose the weight.
