My BMI is 44.9 how bad is that and i weight 288 so defeated and at a loss as to where did i go wrong to get this big i think it was the day when my jeans wouldn't latch, for lack of a better word it really sucks because i am the only one who is obese ( call it what it is ) in my family who are all state troopers and firefighters filled with machismo who think they can do no wrong i have the kind family are typical " do as i say not as i do" the cops especially say this, they forget i changed their diapers and wiped there bottoms so the cant act better than they are not going to find out about my SX they do not deserve to know , i am, a good guy as we ALL ARE i feel so guilty but as time goes by i will come out of it a better man . like i did in the past, take care guys and be good to yourselves because no one else will.

At least they gave you a snack. Unlike the psych eval. And you had to wait months, not hours.

I have this too. Isn't it bizarre. I wipe my nose so much that I feel people will think that I have been snorting cocaine, its embarrassing.

Are you taking a PPI? It will help with the acid in your tummy which often makes you think your hungry. Ask your surgeon for a script if not on one. You’ll only usually need it for a couple of months. And yes, your grumbling tummy is your digestive system working. I swear my tummy is way noisier since my surgery. My young nieces & nephews think it’s hilarious when my tummy growls. Sometimes the hunger is just our head coming to terms with so little food being enough & a desire for texture in our food too. As for the low energy, remember you just had pretty major surgery. You’re recovering from surgery & your body is healing. You can only see those 5 little incisions on your tummy but 80 odd % of your tummy has been cut away & there are a heap of sutures & staples holding what’s left together. If you feel tired or have less energy, it’s your body telling you to stop & rest or slow down. You won’t be able to do, in terms of activity, what you did before for a little while. Doing too much too soon can compromise yiur recovery.

Go back to your regular doctor. If you are concerned, that is the best thing to do. Don't assume and don't worry. That is what they are there for.

You could try freezing some of the leftovers. I do that often, then I can rotate through meals so I don’t get bored with them.

Congratulations team march Good job I hope to have my surgery in June 5 my birthday Sent from my Scepter 8 Tablet using BariatricPal mobile app

I doubt it would prevent you from having surgery. It's good for the doctors, and especially the ansesthesiologist (who is charge of your airway and oxygenation) to know prior to surgery about your diagnosis... so that they can take proper precautions prior and during surgery to keep you properly oxygenated.

Collagen doesn’t contain every essential amino acid so that’s why they state that it doesn’t count. Mind you, either does soy or some vegetable protein. As long as you’re not using it as your primary protein source it can definitely be counted. There are so many myths and silly practices that happen around Bariatric surgery today, this happens to be one of them.
