butterbean last i checked you didnt have a phd so dont tell me what i should be doing. and being your age you would be focused on what you think and write to ppl. nobody on here is perfect if they were they wouldnt be here including you.

i went through kaiser and on thier menu its 2 oz protien 1/4 cup carb and 1/4 cup veggie. the carb is rice potato sweet potato etc the veggies are whatever i want. ive known me for 47 years and been on so many diets i know the diffearnce between head and regular hunger.

thank you everyone else for your positve feed back.

I think the hunger is getting to you. Butter did not say anything that deserved that nastyness my dear. He asked the same question I would have asked you because your diet seems odd for five weeks out. Especially given you are having issues with being full.

The gravy should be considered as it likely isn't low in sugar. You might ask your nut about that...bring in the label if necessary. Low fat isn't the only thing to consider.

that part i should no better i dont need scolding just advice im not a child thats my problem watch how you come across ppl

He said at five weeks he would think you should be more focused on Protein. Ummmm thats pretty standard for the program. Yours might be a bit different, but he is kindly sharing that normally at five weeks Protein is typically king. He's not scolding you. I am shocked anyone would take that comment that way.

Ok I think I need to say she asked everyone to drop it!! It's over whether she is right or wrong she is entitled to her feelings and you need to respect that. Let it go!! She is over it and so is butter. Geez nothing like beating a dead horse!!

But here's the thing. When you're rude and out of line with someone, you don't get to decide when it's over and time to drop it. I'm sure if she just apologized to Bbean it would go away. But I just read this for the first time today and am offended for butterbean. He is nothing but helpful on this forum, you asked for advise, he offered it, and she cut him down for it.

Newgrandmother, for the record, yes I did read his "last paragraph", not just your response. Have you noticed how many people have responded that you were in the wrong versus how many people responded that you were in the right? Maybe it's time to step back and ask yourself if maybe you really were in the wrong, regardless of your feelings at the time. Everyone makes mistakes. It's how we deal with those mistakes that define us as a person. Good luck to you.

I am a patient at Panorama City - Dr. Alskaf is my bariatric doctor. I think my NUT was Stacy...I almost can't remember, I haven't seen her since Options and I completed the program 12/6/11 and had surgery 4/6/12.

We had a group of about 25, not sure how many actually had the surgery, alot of people were on the fence.

Thank you. I consider myself a slow loser, but I guess I am the tortise and not the hare! I don't care, I still have a ways to go...just six months out, this isn't a race and I am pleased with my skin, sometimes if you lose too fast, you have major loose skin issues...I do have some, but I am pleased that in some places, it is getting better and not worse, like my thighs. I have lost about 60% of my excess weight, so I am in line with what my bariatric doctor said is considered a good success rate for the 6 month mark.

I am on a very restrictive low carb diet right now and it is making me a little cranky today though!! Not cheating though...just craving ^_^

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
