I’d maybe check out the ER just to rule the blood clot theory out. Better to be safe than sorry here.

As you prepare for tomorrow, just do what the doctors say, and walk, walk, walk. Whatever you do, walk. Blessings to you

We eat out lunch at least 5 days a week. I just make good choices.

I have a food scale which I used A LOT the first year or two. I don't use it that much anymore, though - maybe once a month or so. I bought some 8 oz ramekins because that way I didn't have to measure some things. If it fit in the ramekin, it was a cup (or if it fit in half the ramekin, it was 1/2 a cup - although you can also buy 4 oz ramekins) I also bought some baby spoons - and I still use them for eating some things (like yogurt) at seven years out -- but now it's mostly because I love them! I never bought special cups or glasses - I Just used the ones I already had.

I have been told that extended release medications can work differently after any bariatric surgery, but talk to your provider and your surgeon. There are lots of options: you might be able to keep taking it if you find it still works, you might need to switch to something you have to take a few times during the day.

several people have been revised to bypass (from sleeve) - hopefully someone will chime in...

I'm still sorting out the pattern, but I think my weight loss stalls out/slows way down during my period. Mine isn't every 30 days but when your husband notices the pattern it is probably happening. LOL!

I don't post a lot, but I do read a lot. What I have seen sometimes are new posters who post a lot and share a lot very quickly, then they disappear within a few weeks. In the meantime, people have equally shared their experience and invested a lot of time in reponding to the new poster. Next time round, another new poster who posts a lot and shares a lot very quickly and each time round, existing members are slower to respond. Existing members are then waiting to see if the new poster is going to stick around, see if its worth engaging in a meaningful way. Particularly when the new member is posting a lot of personal info and asking others to exchange the same about them and/or asking questions that may take a lot of time to respond to. Give it time, this may be an anonymous message board but some people still are still cautious and want to take time to get to know others in a basic way, see if they can relate to the person and their personal circumstances and/or their questions and if they do, then they engage in a more meaningful way. A lot of people are short of time too, they like to come and go quickly and may respond to posts that do not require a lot of time.

Today marks exactly 6 months since surgery and as of weighing myself this morning I am officially down 101lbs!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗 I’m so happy!!

So the funny part is we were told specifically not to avoid carbs. That we should not use premier protein or fairlife because those have almost no carbs. After surgery then to avoid sugar and carbs. This picture was part of the pre op class we had to take.
