Needed to lose weight for insurance consecutively for 3 months in order to get approved. I got approved and went up in weight...my preop appt is next Thursday and the documented weight needs to be the same or less from last appt....I need to drop 6-10 lbs in 2 weeks...any suggestions? I feel like if I do full liquid now I will end up cheating Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Also u dont need a BM daily....going every 3 days is normal, past that u should worry Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Its $1 at walmart, and be prepared for [emoji95] drink lots of water and throw in a Gatorade zero, good luck! Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Idk if south FL hospitals give that card but you can always order whatever u want and ask for a box and app plate at same time, serve yourself on app plate and pack up the rest, once ur home- prep a few more meals in tupperware with the leftovers [emoji177] Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Makes sense, dont wanna choke on your saliva or have it pool in lungs and walk out with pneumonia [emoji37], but def shopping for biotene now [emoji3060] Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Sugar free fudge pops for the win! Or SF Russell stover "reeses" [emoji7] chocolate affects the brain like drugs and happy endorphins come thru....its true what doc said but up to you to stay in control, have a good support system. Dont sneak food like a hobbit. Your working towards a goal for a reason, yes you can have it in maintenance, just keep the same mentality. Plus food wont sprout legs and run away (unless its alive), meaning you will have all the time in the world to eat "the bad stuff" in moderation while balancing healthy eating & exercise [emoji177] Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm late to ur post but maybe a newbie will see this....I saw a woman on youtube do this and I'm in nursing school and it makes perfect sense in regards to fluid & electrolyte levels....drink a 0 cal gatorade in the morning before you flush your body with a ton of water daily. It avoids headaches and fatigue [emoji177] Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Even if it is.....the scale cant differentiate!!! 10 lbs is 10 lbs & F the haters!! YOU DID IT! CONGRATS [emoji3060] Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Update: 2 lbs under my last recorded weight at the nutritionist [emoji847]...I'm in the green for now, just to keep going now until the 28th [emoji123] thanks for the advice! Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

#1 I'm sure it's safe to have kids post- op, I would lose all the weight 1st and hold off on any skin surgeries. Your doc should have discussed this with you though #2 dont have any post op tips yet #3 who you tell, is your business, it's your surgery and your life #4 your social life doesnt need to fully change with kids, well I guess it depends on what u do socially lol...but new mom/dad friends, outdoor activities, theme parks, etc. Kids will keep u busy and active Good luck [emoji177] Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm from south FL, we do plastics til 90 years old!!! (Lol jk) go for it if u want it and relive your 30s (or even 20s) with ur hot new self! Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Please be mindful that not all pills are meant to be crushed, can cause more harm than good (enteric coated and extended release) just a helpful fyi to all Other than that, thanks for the tips! Will purchase the biotene soon [emoji177] Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Will consider it, I'm a nursing student, stress doesnt even begin to describe what I'm going through lol Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Girl.....hes still ur man, he loves u and loved u when u were extra curvy til now....but men also like what they see too, it's pretty basic. My man called me fat in a arguement once (I said a few low blows too) and I cried bc he was mean, the scale said 285 (ummm yeah! Lol I'm fat!) Men say and do stupid **** all the time (so do we) but if it bothers u that much, talk to him! He may have not even thought in depth about the comment and was just appreciating how hot u are now [emoji91] good luck girly [emoji177] Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes bc insurance & doctor said they will push it back 1 month...I'm doing 2 shakes & salad or a soup today but want to make sure I'm down to where I was soon Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Make sure you are hydrated and warm...with my history of drawing labs those were the main 2 issues my patients had. Good luck [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app
