Thank you .

protein and fluids are mostly absorbed or passed in the urine. Probably not enough cumulative solids or fiber to make a poopy yet. Tell your doc if it goes on a few more days.

My surgery was stopped indefinitely by the psychologist after losing 50 lbs and passing all med tests. what shold I do ? verry upsetting, they gave no explanation other than we dont think you will follow the diet.

1 hour before final pre op (passed all medical/ lost 50 during pre op ) the office called saying the psychologist just declared me ineligible for surgery with no explanation . WTF. Anyone else have this happen ?

I will talk to my PCP Thursday.

Lucky. I was just denied VSG 1 hour before final pre op by the surgeons Psychologist . Now what ? lost 50 on pre op diet. Guess it's over. Claimed I wouldn't be able to follow post op diet. :(

Thx. I am VGS PRE OP and have been losing @ about 8 per month . Hate to weigh every am as I have to monitor for CHF/Lasix or else . lol

How do you break a stall. seems I stall to often ? Fantastic job Sandra !

100 lbs in 6 months ! Holy Cow, How ?

OMG ! Looks like someone really really loves chicken ! lol Great job !

Don't worry. You won't . Your much smaller stomach and hormonal changes sort of prevents you from eating too much.

OUTSTANDING ! How did you lose 100 lbs in 8 months ? How do you feel ?

We really need to know what you are taking, type 1 or 2 etc. This is dangerous … See your Dr. ASAP : ) Are you taking insulin , victoza, Metformin or the likes ? I am pre op - 50 lbs now 310 and have stopped all insulin 3 wks ago an only take Victoza. 1.8 & low low carbs and walking . Glucose wafers ,sugar water , fat peanut butter sandwich In a pinch since somehow you have stayed conscious ! see a pro, thats my best.

So many small things at - 50 Lbs +, put on socks, boots, tie laces unassisted, old expensive cloths /watches become new again, wipe your Own butt wthout cheep Amazon Tongs lol, A1c BG Bp goes down , O2 sats improve, etc ect. Yes those bouts of depression suck ! It has a lot to do with the surgery and weight loss hormonal changes . I am a big tough ex military guy and got overcome by a wave of depression and almost started to cry over nothing, couldn't finish my work out and had to go home. I try to treat them as I have with old Adderall panic ( after I quit ) attacks telling myself I'm ok it's just catecholamines. Catecholamines are hormones made by your adrenal glands, which are located on top of your kidneys . Examples include dopamine; norepinephrine; and epinephrine (this used to be called adrenalin or adrenaline). Your adrenal glands send catecholamines into your blood when you're physically or emotionally stressed. Best wishes.

Thx Coexister, I will ask my surgeon to do it. :)

Can the surgeon repair an epigastric hernia at the same time as performing the VSG ? I'm hopping to get VSG in 2-4 weeks. Down 50 lbs but still 310.

Can the surgeon repair an epigastric hernia at the same time as performing the VSG ?

saved to favs. lol

Those injections can save your life. Just like Insulin shots . I did it twice after hip replacement and will request it again if not offered after VSG. Normal post op meds. DO IT ! lol

How are slim fast meal replacement shakes after 1st week ?
