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??

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!!!

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.

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.

Are you allowed to take phentermine after surgery?

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!

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.
