You are not balanced you are just pounding in the vitamins without balance, You need to get the bloodwork done - then set you plan,

How is your hair? Hair and nails are made from same stuff. Have they done blood work to see if you are needing anything extra?

Welcome! I've found this site to be very friendly and supportive! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

This was a good article thanks for the recommendation. It covers a lot of the real emotions around weight that I had before college before I realized nobody had to be happy with my weight but me. This led to me looking at myself and realizing how beautiful I am and accepting myself. Yes I do get frustrated about clothing at times (big women don't need flowers on everything lol) but I learned ignore it all and confront the negativity. As long as I'm comfortable in what I have on (unless one wants to buy clothes for me there's nothing to be said, and yes I do offer to let people buy my clothes if they don't like what I have on). Thank you for the suggestion and congrats. Sent from my SM-J737A using BariatricPal mobile app

We had a "Family and Friends" forum for many many years but removed it a little while ago for non-usage 🤷‍♂️.

Thank you for the well-wishes and kind thoughts. We are a team unit here so I definitely have the support, but it is nice to have this Forum to lean on.

You are doing great! The beauty of the pre op is it jump starts your weight loss and helps detox all the garbage we are hooked on. Post op you will barely feel like eating so the liquids won’t bother you much I suspect. You will still have the savory broth! Best wishes to you! I am almost 4 weeks post op VSG and convinced this is the best thing I could have done for myself. I wish that for you, too!

Yay congrats! We will be having surgery the same week! I’m nervous it being right before the holiday. I have 3 kids and I don’t want to spoil their Xmas if I’m not feeling well. I feel most nervous about my immediate post op recovery.

💙CONGRATULATIONS💙 Can you share the types of things and how often/long/by whom they were documented ?

Surgery went well. I felt fairly good after. Came home two days ago and a bit sore, especially on my left side......I don’t think messing up my pre-op diet did anything although the dr wanted me to have lost more weight before.......still up in weight because of fluids. Home recovering......
