I'm just going to touch on the parts about whether it will work. I'm 48 and perimenopausal so my metabolism is slow. I don't exercise very much beyond physical therapy and walking because my back is messed up. When my back was better, I saw a number of personal trainers. They helped me get in shape, but not lose much weight. I've found it relatively easy to lose 34+ lbs. in 2 1/2 months, much faster than on any other diet I have ever been on. I'm rarely nauseous and I've thrown up 2x since I got the surgery. I was very adept at using 2 oz. cups to make sure I didn't consume too much when I was healing. Now I eat pretty normally, just a lot less, less carbs, and more protein. I think WLS has changed a lot and some people have ideas based on older types of WLS surgery that weren't as easy to live with. Whatever you decide, good luck!

Tell him "I know you think you're right" Then do it anyway... Safe Journey 🎈

Oh man, you need to seek professional help. Psychologist? Therapist? Support group? Something. That is a serious disorder, keeping quiet about it is not the answer. Which would be worse, to be slightly overweight again or to be dead?

If YOU are having second thoughts...wait and work out a bit to see if you can accomplish goals without surgery..But dont worry about the negative thoughts of others. This decision is for YOU no one else. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

This is your friend... Happy hunting! There are TONS of posts on this subject. Congrats on your successful surgery and losses to date.

Back in the day, we used to have baby feeding bowls you put hot water into the bottom of. Shame they don't seem to make them anymore, I think they would be perfect.🍝

I'm still in liquid phase, just starting soft foods phase 18 days post-op. I'm drinking GNC Lean Shakes (chocolate), eating cottage cheese, and have eaten a couple of scrambled eggs. Sam's Club offers a fruit-punch flavored clear protein drink by Premiere Protein. Thinned Oatmeal is okay in liquid phase and has some protein

Do you know shy the surgeon isn't accepting the clearance?

Hi everyone I was supposed to have surgery next Monday the 7th, but my surgeon isn't accepting my Psychiatrist clearance, so I have to make a new appointment with a new Psychiatrist, which will be on January 3rd, has anyone went thru this? I also stopped doing my liquid diet as of today Sent from my 5049Z using BariatricPal mobile app
