Surgery date: 10/23/13

Highest weight: 283

Surgery weight: 277

Current weight: 271 (1week post op)

Pre op meds vs post op meds:

type 2 diabetes pre op-2 insulins 2 pills/

post op-1 pill only 1/2 the pre surgery dose- still on high cholesterol meds but I suspect that will change after my pcp follow up.

I am struggling to not get on the scale until my 2 wk post op, 3 days to go I'll keep you guys posted. Gas/constipation is my biggest complaint. Getting down all of my liquids and Protein is my biggest struggle. Staying positive is my biggest accomplishment....

Everything is going well for me so far. I have over done it a few times tring to clean, and run after my daughter. I don't think I'm getting enough fluids but I'm working on it. My protien shakes are filling!

Do you take Biotin 5000mg twice a day? For hair loss.

Wow 5000 twice a day?? I am only taking 4000 once a day...is that not enough???

I heard your body doesn't absorb more than 5000....

Haven't had any issues with Water or nausea. I have overeaten twice by not measuring my food. That will never happen again. It hurt so bad. Starting to feel really good though.

Dr appt weds. Will update then.

Hardest part is full liquids and can not do Protein shakes in powder they come back up in my throat so have to do the pre made ones. I'm so ready for some consistency in food. Pure liquids are killing me.

( just less) I have lost 2" from my chest :-( and 2" from my waist!!!! Other measurements are at least 1+ inch! But I would love to get to 199 by dec!

HW: 295

SW: 272

CW: 251(got down to 249, but then my period happened. I gained 3lbs and have been stuck at 251 for 3 days)

I'm wondering if that's normal during that time for us women. I would suggest weighing in like once a week taunting yourself daily or every few days can be discouraging...hopefully after your monthly visit you will bounce bk...pls update on that I'm a little curious...good luck
