How Much Weight Did You Lose On Preop Diet?
aviiva replied to mrsnate's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I was lucky just had to do 2 days and the last day I had to take a laxative just to clean myself out. I had to drink this gross stuff. I don't know if I could have done more then 2 days. dr said he did not think I had a big liver. I had to do Clear Liquids for 2 weeks and mushies for 3 next week I can eat regular foods next week not sure what to.start with. I have not deviated from any of his instructions afraid to hurt my sleeve I am proud of myself that I have not been tempted to try something there is really nothing I am craving. I used to love sweets no desire now Sent from my SPH-D700 using VST -
has anyone gone bald . I know alot of people on here think it is silly to worry about hair loss when we are gaining back control of our lives and health, but I am one of those people who is kind of concerned about losing my hair. I know there is nothing I can do to stop it, but I am wondering how much hair I will lose. My Dr. said since I have alot of hair, probably I will be the only one that notices. Hope that is the case

i had major foot surgery in sept .i had a torn tendon and did not know i walked on it too long and by the time i went to the orthopedic specialist i needed surgery. he had to rebuild my foot i had no arch due to the tear. thank god my surgeon was the best and was able to give me an arch the problem is my foot is fused i can walk but can not move my foot side to side so i am not sure what exercise i can do . I know I can do weights but no zumba I think I am afraid to hurt it again. it was the most painful surgery I ever gone through really out was the only one my dr said every nerve was inflamed. the sleeve was a walk in the park. my question is any suggestions of what I can do.

The Dreaded 3 Week Stall.. Tips?
aviiva replied to AngieG0410's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just got out of it. I don't think there is anything you can do but have patience. I lost 4lbs over the weekend. I know there are more stalls coming from what I have read, but I figure if I am doing everything I am supposed to "this too shall pass". Hang in there -
***need Your Opinions Everyone***
aviiva replied to Dud2Stud's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
yes you can be empathic to your clts i am a mental health therapist and i was thinking i would like to work with people who have either had or are thinking of having surgery. my dr thought it was a great idea since most of the nut and therapists you meet with prior to surgery have not gone through this experience.

Ok I was 3 weeks post op yesterday and have been on a stall for the past week. What gives? I know that i am doing everyting right so I am not really concerned that the weight will not come off just frustrated. Just venting. How long do the stalls typically last? I am going to to my daughte'sr College graduation next week in Florida and hope to be off the stall before then. I have lost 20 lbs since surgey no pre-op diet was required. I think I am losing inches even though not weight. Just wondering how many more days of frustration. Thanks to everyone on here for the support you all give

I know from reading about other people's journey this is common. I got on the scale today and was up 1 pound. I am not freaking out since I know I have been doing everything I am supposed to do. I have no problem getting in my protein mostly through shakes and water. I started eating mushy foods on Friday, not alot and mostly protein. So I guess this is normal right?. I am logging everything on my fitness pal. I have decided not to weigh myself everyday but 1x a week now. Please tell me this is normal. I was sleeved on 4/4 and have lost 20lb, well 19 now. Thanks
