Hey lads, I've a Q. Do any of you find you stall if you get sick? I've come down with a cold and the scale is not really moving this week. I'm not exercising, so there's that but I know from when my diabetes was active that sickness would make my blood sugars go high, which would prompt insulin and we all know insulin is the fat storage hormone, so I'm wondering if it's a thing?

YES! I broke mine much the same way AND increased my water intake. Good for you!

get or make it without beans and I pureed mine a bit in the blender if the meat seemed chunky but YES I was craving it big time.

My surgery was also on 3/11 having a lot of gas pain chest pains but getting better each day, good luck on your journey Sent from my BND-L34 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes, me too. I've had a cold for 12 days now, not going to the gym, taking cold medicine and the scale isn't moving.

I look in the mirror and dont recognize who I am now-a-days. I know I've lost weight but most times I still feel fat. The body image/body dysmorphia is real. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I will check this out now! Thank you!

I love this graphic, what did you use?

I had a lot of thinning especially at my temples and hairline. My hair is very thick and no one seemed to notice but me. The only time anyone said anything was a few months ago I was at work and all my baby hairs were wildly flying about everywhere... The amount you lose will vary and how noticeable it is depends on how much hair you start with. Mine is growing back now I am fifteen months out, so it is temporary for most of us. Losing a bit of hair, loose skin and all, I would not change my decision.

Good morning! So my surgery date is 3/28/19 and I started my 2 week liquid diet yesterday. I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes last year in June before I started pursuing bariatric surgery and this diagnosis actually pushed me to go through with it so I decided to not go on insulin since this surgery has such a high rate of success in putting diabetes into remission. I'm getting nervous though since my fasting glucose result just came back and it was really high, 170 to be exact, and I'm worried my surgery might be delayed because of this?
