Im gonna go out on a limb here and respectfully disagree. In my lowly opinion, WLS is NOT the cure to mental health problems (in fact, i’d go so far to say it’s probably better to get a handle - or have a plan in place - to deal with one’s mental issues before starting the road to WLS. WLS is a tool for weight loss, nothing more…

yep. Water weight from the IV fluids. I've heard of some people gaining 10 or more lbs from it. It takes a few days for it to work it's way out of your system. In the mean time, if it's stressing you out, then just stay off the scale for a few days.

Wings!! Wings of any flavor, lemon pepper, Buffalo, barbecue. And even though I don’t like sweets, My moms recipe Peach Cobbler is still fighting me. If it’s near me I can’t resist. Thank goodness I can resist others though lol

I lost 175 lbs and I have a reasonable amount of loose skin. If I didn’t get it removed it would not be the end of the world, by far. I wear close fitting clothes and you can’t see it in pretty much anything I wear, outside of the arm skin for shorter sleeve shirts. I am a daily runner now (which would have been a comical thought a few years ago) and I do have to be mindful of what I wear to “hold in” the loose skin. But overall in daily life it just isn’t a huge issue. I always said I wouldn’t get it removed and you’d think by now I would learn to knock it off with these sorts of statements because now I’m booked to get a fleur de lis tummy tuck, breast lift, and arm lift at the end of august. I have the funds and I just felt like it was time.

these are quick surgeries. Sleeves are probably about an hour. Bypass not much longer. Of course, if they run into issues, it'll take longer.

Charcoal is not good for all the supplements you need to take. Do not take charcoal unless recommended by your physician. It is adsorptive and will pull all the vitamins and minerals along with whatever else.

Here's some suggestions: A rough guide for this method is: Vegetables: Should take up half your plate Protein-rich foods: For meat, poultry, eggs, fish, legumes, beans, tofu serve a quarter of your plate. Complex carbohydrates: Take a quarter of a plate of carbs, such as whole grains. High-fat foods: Including butter, cheese, and oil – take only half a tablespoon

It could be a number of things but I have sorted some stuff out. I also got the info on this forum. I take medication for it an hour before I eat or drink in a morning. Some times its your vitamins that do it. I couldn't take gummy vitamins at all. I have multivitamins and iron , twice a day. One after breakfast and one before bed at night. The plate sized calcium tablet, I take after lunch. Such a treat isn't it . I have also sorted out my constipation too with those delicious powders. I get lots of liquids in too. So what cured me ? I dont know but I did all this and poof I am nearly cured. Also some people have nausea because of the sweetener in the protein shakes. You may need to shop around for one that suits you. I hope you sort it out soon.

I am 5 1/2 months post op and I am down 93 lbs since pre-op and 78 lbs since surgery. I was so embarrassed when my CEO said I really needed to stop wearing my big clothes. I immediately went out bought new clothes and gave away my old ones.
