Thank you! I am working on it...one day at a time! I am going to a seminar today that my NUT team has with a plastic surgeon and want to be prepared with some questions :). I am worried about my breasts hanging to the floor!!

Can't wait for September! I did not make a lot of challenges (listed) on here, so I am up for it!!!

I haven’t lost enough! Just thinking wayyyy ahead! Will check it out!

Great article!

Love following Dr. V on Facebook and YouTube: https://www.sleeveacademy.com/howmuch?fbclid=IwAR26zELRDSvAL-hzf3IaSyAkSLgwCxki-tOlm1GO8Jz7R0FYXunkHmV9820 This is a great one he posted today!

OMG I had to share today!! I’m on a plane for the first time post-op (29 days) and I don’t have to ask for a belt-extender (although JetBlue has larger seats than most..I feel actually comfortable! After a few days of feeling down and out about my weight stall, I feel awesome this am!

@chiptress Yes, my NUT teen (so much more informative than my surgeon) told me too! I hit the stall wall and had some moments (plus I’m also on a Debt diet lol so no going too many hangout spots!)..I am sooo happy I had the surgery! Thanks for the encouragement..btw, which Facebook group? I’d love to join.

Good luck tomorrow!! I was good the day before..I meditated before going in and things went well!

I’m dealing with up and down moods, especially this past week. Things are going well, but I’m just not in a very good mood at all!! I do feel better when I go to Zumba!

Congrats!!

You can do this!!!

Thank you! I am taking it day by day! I am actually at a stall...trying not to be in my head...I want to go to the big one he has in Vegas in Feb.

Check this surgeon out on YouTube (Dr. V - weight loss)..He has some great videos that talk about preparing!

It actually sounds like reflux (which is common with the surgery), but I agree that you should leave a message with the surgeon's office!

I agree! You may need to thin it out.. I just stayed with my pre-op Unjury shakes and powder. The protein shakes are now the easy part! I am not hungry enough to really do the pureed...

It seems kinda surreal (the pre-op diet)! Good luck! I didn't think about Forums/groups before surgery (think I would have been more prepared! If you haven't gotten Dr. V's book, do so! I am almost finished reading it and it is great!

I am doing great! I went for my first post-op with the surgeon this week and got cleared to exercise (love AquaFit). I am at a stall with my weight loss, but not focusing on that (or trying not too)! I am actually coming off the pureed stage and actually ate some white fish and eggs this week. Has gone good so far. I still drink my 3/4 Unjury protein shakes to make sure I am getting my protein in. Good news is that I am off all 3 of my BP meds! How are you??

Thanks! Water disease -- Ha!

Good luck tomorrow!

I am angry to hear this! This partly happened to me (but I caught it and my NUT did too -- they gave me the wrong food/bev tray twice. I refused and actually got my surgeon in trouble.). Check out YouTube for "Dr v weight loss." He has an awesome set of videos (A LOT of them). Not sure if it will help you to figure out the "hydration" issue, but search :). He is hilarious, but on point for so much. Good luck! I just took my time and drank from little small cups until I got more down!

I don't, but I am in St. Pete! I am 25 days post-op (best decision EVER)...best thing to do is call your insurance and ask (a local bariatric surgery office can give you the code to ask with). Good luck!

I did hear that not getting the water (to stay hydrated) and working out (which puts off more of your water) will cause stall (my NUT). I also am there (and gained a lb at my 1st surgery post-op).. I am going to keep going! You too!
