Sassysleeved,

I sent you a message re: your BMI. You said bc of what your bmi is, you don't have to do the 6 months visits. My BMI is 35 & the 1st plave I called (barix clinic) they said bc Im on the lower end of the bmi (35) I wouldnt have to do the 6 month appts with the dietician & etc so Im curious what your BMI is.

Thanks

Somehow I gained 6 pounds since Wednesday. I'm finding it harder to lose after surgery than before.

I'm from grand Rapids, MI

Im in Michigan...my surgery is this Tuesday july 19, i had to do 6 months of supervised diets and different test before approved by my insurance

Three weeks post op and I'm down 11 pounds. My surgeon said i should lose over 100 in 6 months so I'm off that pace. I may have been pushing what I can eat. Decided to have a piece of chicken. No issues eating or digesting it but I hope I don't regret trying it too early.

@@sgc sorry to hear that keep hanging in there. I know that feeling pre op. How's your activity level? Are you at 30 min daily? I'm still on liquids advance into purees on Fri.

I have tried other foods and tolerated it well but I really want to stick to the plan.

It's easy to fall back into old habits although we can't eat as much so I'm hoping that's not an issue for you. Nothing is stopping us from making poor choices but us.

I hope things turn around for you. Increase your fluids, Protein and activity and talk to your team they will help you get over this hump.

@@diamondchic94 I have PCOS. High Testosterone Weight gain and irregular cycles. I'm early in my post op journey so im interested to see how my weight loss is affected by PCOS.

Hey Everyone!

Looking for some advice. I'm tentatively scheduled to have surgery mid September. We have a busy season upcoming at work from September-November where it's not ideal to take off of work. I was set on still having the surgery until I was assigned a new account..now I'm torn.

I really don't want to delay my surgery until Nov because the weather will change and I wanted to take advantage of being able to walk outside. Plus it will be close to the holidays recovering and the possibility of putting on even more weight.

On the other hand I feel a bit bad for being out during this time. I would probably only take 4 weeks off ( dr gives 6). However this would put me out until the end of October.

Anyone dealt with this? My husband is saying I shouldn't put my job before my health and to do what's best for me.

Advice appreciated!

I agree with your husband 100%. Get the surgery when you want it, not when your work dictates it. You have to look after and take care of yourself.

Thanks @kzoojason76. At the end of the day I must put my health first. I just need to keep reminding myself that. I'm so used to putting everything and everyone before me.
