Not having a second heart attack! Hoping sleep apnea goes away so I can actually feel rested after a night of sleep. Getting off blood pressure and cholesterol meds. More energy.

Wow! So glad there was a medical team that reacted swiftly!! I hope you get answers and maybe get a medical alert bracelet personalized.

I am glad to hear that you are on the mend. I hope you can track down the cause of your blood loss. A few years ago my mother began to bleed internally and she required a blood transfusion. In her case she had been using Excedrin (which contains aspirin and is a NSAID) on a daily basis as a pain reliever. She was taking about 10 times the recommended dose of aspirin on a daily basis for several years. We cut her off the Excedrin and the problem healed up.

Your other issues aside.....I would love to lose 25 pounds in 7 weeks! That's almost 13 pounds a month. That's a HUGE loss. I would be enthusiastically satisfied with that kinda progress. Everyone talks about stalls being a very normal thing.

My nutritionist has an entire alternate plan for vegetarian sleevers. Balanced and complete. I'm not a vegetarian, but she is, and she was thrilled that I wanted a copy of that strategy, too. I go a little from each list...I like balance:) Can't wait to have my chia pudding back. Just saw a cool recipe for chia seed pumpkin oats packed with protein. Looks like an awesome breakfast and I can't wait to try it.

Love this guide. Planning to replace as much animal Protein as possible with plant protein. Have been studying the diets of people with the longest lifespans in the world. Lot of healthy fats, low animal protein, lots of complex carbs and plant protein. Low cancer and heart disease rates. If you're looking for some new and exciting protein options...check this list out...has recipes, too:) https://theecoguide.org/vegetarian-proteins?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjMm5i6yR2AIVXbbACh3zhwDbEAAYAiAAEgLMSfD_BwE

Thanks for this, vegetarian resources are hard to come by

I had three days of clear fluids, then several days of clear fluids one hour, Protein shake the next. At about a week, I added yogurt, oatmeal, cream of wheat, sugar free pudding, and cream soup. At about a week and a half, I added potatoes, a little very soft meat, a little tofu, beans. I went a little faster than most...but I've suffered zero nausea, and my activity is through the roof. I approached each food very cautiously and my body was ready. Everyone is different. The swelling inside your stomach will improve differently for each person. Take it easy, take it slow....you'll get there!

I hate to be a kill joy but I had a sleeve and I'm sagging like crazy. 60lbs in 4/5m But it all depends on you what the best option is. Bypass scared me too I'm happy with the sleeve Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

blondie, the OP is quite petite, so 130lbs for her is like 162lbs for me (I'm 5'7). Which is thin, but not TOO thin. I would look great at 150lbs.. though I doubt I'll ever get there.
