I'm sorry you experienced this terrible treatment. Im not sure I would be going back to him if it were me. I probably would have waited for him to finish & then told him to kiss my a$$ & left.

if I could redo yesterday, I surely would of lol, I'm definitely not going back, thank you

@@byebyefat You can send me a friends request on myfitnesspal and we can share journals. That has helped me a great deal. I agree with everyone else, your surgeon is a jerk. You need to focus on you andnot worry about your surgeon and what he said. Good Luck!

is it the same as your name on here

@@byebyefat I buy my D3 Gelatin pills at costco. They are the Kirkland brand 2000 IU... $11.00 for 600 pills. These pills are very small so no problem swallowing them. I'll also pass on a fact that my Chiro/NUT told me: if I start to feel sick, take 50,000 IU's ( that's 25 of these gelatin pills) once a day for 3 days and it will usually kick whatever bug is trying to invade my system. This has worked most everytime I've done it.

awesome, thank you very much

Timewise you're actually doing good. My surgery was 9/4/15. I was 301 pre-op and I'm now 251. Sounds like you and I both just need to exercise more, and we will see more results.

thank you, but I only lost 20 pounds, my surgeon said it should be more, but congratulations on all of your progress and none the less I'm not giving up, thank you so much for your kind words

Have you met with your NUT to go through your food logs to see if he/she has any suggestions or strategies?

the last time I met with my Nut was the beginning of December, at the time my stall was only at a week and a half and she told me it was a normal process and usually means, I'm going to have a upcoming great lost after my stall, told me to eat more Fiber and my food journal was great and to keep up the good work, I see her again next Friday, January 22nd

Your surgeon sounds like he is lacking in the bedside manner department. I don't think you are a failure but there is something wrong here. What is your daily calorie intake? You should still be below 1,000 a day and exercising a minimum of 20- 30 minutes day. Where are you getting your Protein? I was 220 when I had my surgery in 2010 and I averaged around 10lbs a month for the first six months.

What a JERK!! Sorry you were treated that way. It is disgusting.

Regarding stall with Constipation my nutritionist said to take Vitamin they want me to take (Opurity) one day and next day a Multivitamin with low to no Iron. Keep doing this and it worked. No more constipation. We figured it was the Iron and once constipation ended the weight stall ended. Another thing that helped constipation is lying in bed, rub your hands together to warm them up and then rub your stomach in circles, starting around belly button and then get bigger around whole stomach. Do 50 circles total. Be firm but not too hard and this helped me as well. Sounds silly but it works.

I hope things get better for you but DO NOT let the Dr discourage you and keep up the good work!

thank you, my calories have never been above 1, 000 but twice in the last 4 months and I meet all my protein and Water goals and exercise , I truly don't understand what's wrong with me that I'm not losing weight

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
