I started my WLS on Oct 23, 2020. My weight was 236lbs & rising. My ins paid for everything &hv me 3mnths. My surgery date was January 28, 2021. My weight-in surgery date was 226lbs. I stayed in the hospital for 2days. My 2wk f/u my weight-in was 208lbs. My Dr was upset bcuz he said I should hv lost 20lbs. Hell, I was happy I lost what I lost being I was in so much pain. I was suppose to go back for my 6wk f/u last week 2/10/2020 but my pain in my back was killing for 3 of the 4wks. so I rescheduled for 2/17. I'm expected to lose another 20lbs but I'm weighting in@ 203lbs @ hm. I'm happy w my weight lost but I know this dr is gonna b upset. Lol. But I'm good w that. I don't want to lost too much weight all at once. I'm tryna get down to 165lbs. 155lbs the min. I hvnt been walking do to this Covid thingy &it being cold outside didn't help either. The diet works wonders that's how I've bn maintaining. But walking w back pain is horrible.

What do y'all think?

How do I update my status on my profile page. I've tried to edit it but there's no where I can get to my status fill-in. Need help on that as well.

Do you add the yogurt to your oatmeal? On my sample menus I have a lot of “add a scoop of unflavored protein powder” for foods like oatmeal, cottage cheese, ricotta, mashed potatoes etc and I tried it once. Just once. ? I think the menu creators in my program maybe have not tried unflavored Protein Powder in their foods. So gross!

glad for the forum so we can help each other. ?

I hv NOT put anything in my oatmeal besides vanilla protein shake. I'm tryna tolerate the powders but they r kinda grainy. I love cottage cheese but not so much ricotta &mash potatoes. I DO put the powders in yogurt to make a smoothie along w some fruit. This dr i hv is a miserable s.o.b. he's just so negative everything i come in & it's only bn twice.... uuuugh... he gets to me then my anxiety flares up.

Does anyone knows how long u hv to keep seeing ur surgeon b4 u can stop?! #ijs. Smh

Sorry your surgeon is so awful. I’ve only met mine once and that was pre-op. I was supposed to see him at 3 weeks but he had a family emergency. I think I see him again at 9 weeks. I’ve had doctors that I didn’t vibe well with before and it sucked.

Lol yeah, I’d want to know when to stop seeing that kind of doc too! Just keep on doing your thing and regardless of the buttheads, you’ll succeed. Had to lol about the kid comment. Completely understand. Choose your battles. You got this!
