people not educating themselves

From orientation to my WLS was a whopping 4 weeks. I had really good insurance Blue Cross PPO via my husbands work and they rushed me through my psych evaluation, Endoscopy and general physical. I was on the table like wait... I change my mind lol I was never even asked to diet or loose weight it was nuts.

I had to learn as I went and thankfully at the time was on a great site that helped. Now it is a ghost town and that's how you got stuck with me <3

Some of us haven't met with a surgeon yet and are trying to get a sense of everything that's involved, which is presumably one of the basic functions of a forum like this. Thanks.

This is the post op forum though...

I think part of the problem is that we are given so much information that it is easy to get confused. I too was given a three ring binder and it became my bible, but if I did not have it to look back on I would have gotten very confused.

I had surgery in Mexico and I don't regret it for a second. I got all the information on the surgery itself but not a lot about post up care etc. I'm always looking for information that other people have because it helps me too. I've been eating terribly lately so I'm on a mission to reset my health and my mind. The surgery has still been very successful for me I just want to maximize.

So with that is a question for all of you. How many calories a day are you eating? I am 5'8, currently 208lbs. I work out with a personal trainer for weight training two days a week and do 10k steps a day or cardio on the other days. Could someone steer me in the right direction? Thanks!
