I had a hernia repair. This is good information to know wasn't sure why my back was hurting. Well I have few herniated discs from the extra weight but now 37 lbs down feel lil better. Especially my knees

Hi Laurie I turned 53 five days before my surgery. I am doing well so far. Surgery was 16th down around 25 lbs since the one wk liquid diet. Just trying follow my Dr advice. Unfortunately I do still have my cycle n had some anemia preop. I am concerned about my Iron levels in upcoming wks since my cycles r so horrible. Felt like I couldn't lose 10lbs on my own pre surgery but seems my tool is working. I don't think our age will negatively impact us.

Sounds like something I need to look into. Dr said VSG surgery releases some extra estrogen cells hence extra pain. Whew the cramps were worst than VSG surgery. Glad had most Meds left took them n went to sleep. Know my husband was [emoji4] I was finally quiet.

WHAT! Totally Uacceptable. My husband is fit and thin and doesn't agree 100% but has purchased all of my items 4 liquid diet and will definitely be there during and after. He can agree to disagree but his job is be by your side. Sorry you are going through this. This process is stressful enough.

Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !
I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc
