I'm just curious to those with low bmi, can you do a surgery in the us with a 35 bmi no co-morbidities?

No dumping here either.

No I don’t drink any. I was not a big drinker before my surgery so it wasn’t hard not to drink any after. Plus what I liked before was a Coors Light and I don’t do any carbonation at all since my surgery. I don’t miss it. To me it’s an awesome trade off. I’ll take losing a whole human being off of me to occasionally having a alcoholic beverage.

Surgery was at 1pm. Stayed overnight and went home before noon the next day. I didn’t have any pain. Just sore. Welcome to the group!

It feels good when Mystery meat is History, when Fast food holds no appeal, and sweets are no treat. Then the New cocepts and New Habits can work for you and you find out this works and is quite doable. And then the rest of your life becomes the best of your life. I may even invest in a t-shirt that says just that!

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

I’m doing the sleeve. Did you have the sleeve as well? Just finished packing my overnight bag and alarm set for 3 but I’m sure I won’t need it. They gave me this stuff I believe I’m supposed use to clean the area of the stomach

Are you doing sleeve or bypass?

Have you tried Premier Protein chocolate? !i pour mine over ice. So good!

BTW easy recovery. I was nauseous but I get sick from anesthesia. Little gas pain from CO2 they use to inflate your abdomen. But that clears up on its own. Recovery was a breeze!

Good Luck tomorrow!! Let us know when you can how you’re doing!!

Don’t scratch at them. Put lotion on them. It’s the healing process that’s making it itch.

HI folks, I'm a little over 8 months out from my surgery and lately I feel as if I've failed. I've only lost 36 pounds since my surgery (just over 60 pounds from my heaviest weight last year) and my surgeon is concerned. Things I'm trying:

Drinking lots more Water -- I was stuck on 60 to 64 ounces for months but now I shoot for 80

Measuring, measuring, measuring -- I was just eyeballing before and after actually MEASURING what I was eating it was eye opening to say the least 😕

Eating like I just had surgery -- tiny bites, counting my chews, putting my fork/spoon down between bites and taking a long time to eat -- I've always been a speedy eater and it's been a hard habit to break

Adding a HIIT day to my workouts -- I lift 2 days a week and walk at least 45 minutes every day -- doctor wants me to do more cardio but I HATE cardio

Tracking every damn thing I put in my mouth -- even those Trader Joe's samples

Getting at least 90 grams of Protein daily

What piece of the puzzle am I missing? Any words of wisdom from you vets? I'm trying not to compare myself to some members' AMAZING weight loss progress, but it's hard not to get down about it.

I’m south of Houston as well!! Texan Girls in the House!🤠

If you ask the restaurant for modifications on your meal most will. If you are in the soft stage then order stuff like soup/mashed pot.
Room service has eggs etc. you can do it!!!😊👍🏻

My weight finally stabilized around 145 (original goal weight), so I went forward with surgery for a breast lift with implants (Dr. Ciaravino in Houston is amazing). I lost 72 lbs total after the sleeve but added approximately 1.5 lbs of implants (Mentor MemoryGel Smooth Round High Profile 350cc). I cry when I see these photos side by side. I got sleeved on 2/28/2018 and got these boobs 9 months later on 11/30/2018. What a year.

 

Omg I love this thread!!

It’s good to get away from coke type drinks...esp since they hold zero value to all of us on this journey. It’s ultimately up to you and what your surgeon and team recommended but I’ve gotten away from all carbonated products about two years before I had surgery and now I’m 7 mos post op and still haven’t had any and I don’t plan to. I know it’s hard. Good luck to you

Y'all

Move date last night ( Us by Jordan Peele ... Sooooo good!) and at GNC lookie lookie what i discovered anf snuck in 😂😂😂...

Did anyone else know about this?

1 bag is 100% of the RDA of Fiber ! I shared and only ate about 1/2 or 1/3 of the bag, but... They are AMAZING

Do me a favor and try for yourself 😍

What did the surgeon say about what he was going to do about the twisted sleeve?

Oh no I didn’t mean that that was why it twisted. I was just thinking about the drinking while eating part. That was a hard hurdle for me. I’ve always drank something after every bite so when I was told I couldn’t it was difficult.

Mostly just regular stool. Sometimes a little running but that is prob bc I may have tried to drink up my coffee too fast(I put a scoop in my coffee) as it’s unflavored. They make it in a Creamer now that comes in coconut and vanilla flavoring but I use the unflavored bc I can add it to anything to give me more protien. It has made a huge diff. Constipation after the sleeve was my biggest annoyance. Felt bloated, felt heavier on the scale and it just feels uncomfortable. Another friend who was sleeved told me about this and I am so thankful for it! Plus you get a serving of Protein. 2 scoops are 18 grams of protein,20 grams of collagen. Hope this info helps you. It really worked for me
