What Do You Tell People When You Dont Want Them To Know?
nalasmom replied to Carrie's Journey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I heard the Paleo diet is really fast weightloss. I think I'm going to say that! I just read about it last night. It's simple carb restrictions and focuses on food that is naturally available. Made sense to me! I'm also going to say the gallbladder thing too. And they actually found that I have a complete right sided heart block so I'm goin to say the doctor told me I had to lose weight bc I'm prediabetic. I'm not really prediabetic but it runs on both sides of my family so probably eventually I would have gotten it. But this is a great thread. Me and my mom have been trying to figure out what to say. I haven't seen my coworkers in a long time. I was 232 when I last saw them. It will bet very noticeable when I get back in two weeks because now I'm 213.6. My surgery date was 8/1. -

I lost 30 lbs fat and gained 15 lbs lean muscle mass when i was using body bugg. It was sooo motivating. I dont like that you have to pay a subscription though. And that you cant connect it to alot of apps such as MyDiaryNet. I dont wanna double log my food. But its the only device proven to exactly measure calories burned during wake and sleep hours. I want fit bit bc it works with my app but i got reviews that its not very accurate. And body bugg was proven accurate by some US legal affiliation. I wanna say fda but not sure. I JUST read this. Trainers like bodybugg. BB dwnside: the skin underneath it doesnt get enough sun and so ur left with embarrassing tan lines. Not discreet and falls off slightly as u sweat.

What Is Your Goal Weight ?!
nalasmom replied to jasmineb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Goal weight is 130-140. My surgeon said because of my body comp, I will look very skinny already at 165ish. When I'm around that weight I'm probably a size 8. But I'm going to prove them wrong. Average Weight for my height to be at a normal weight is 132. So that's what I'm aiming for. I'm 24 years old. I'm 10 days post op and have lost 15 lbs as of this mornings weigh in. I was 232 preop. I'm 5"5. Good luck with your surgery btw! Hope everything goes smoothly for you:) -

For All Low Bmi's -- How Much Weight Did You Loose In 90 Days?
nalasmom replied to Shape_Shifter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 6 days post op. well really 10 days since the original surgery. A few days after, i couldnt stop dry heaving and salivating so they did an exploratory lap and found the drain irritating my intestinal lining. But yeah, Ive lost 13 pounds as of yesterday. It is aweee-someee! I hope this rate keeps up. Does this sound normal for anyone? I bought the Mydiary et app for iphone/ipad and it says ill probably be more than halfway to my goal weight by new years if i keep it up! Motivation!! Also I started out with a bmi of 37. I was 229 lbs day of. Day right before i was 232. I didnt really follow the 2 week preop diet bc i didnt think i was going to have the surgery anymore. Had just spent 8,000 on my sick little puppy Nala. So day prior to surgery I just fasted and drank tons of Water. -
I am day 6 post op and the gas is actually almost resolved! Wooooo hooo!!! Because the doctor told me that it would take months but i can actually burp nowwww!!! Yayy! He prescribed Omeprazole (didnt help much) and altho I still take it, I also take Target brand maximum Simethicone chewable tablets at meals and as needed. However, i havent really been diligent with the at meals part and im still fine:) they taste ok too. Cherry cream. Good luck with the gas!

What The Hairloss Looks Like...
nalasmom replied to Wheetsin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I bought 7500 mcg biotin pills and make sure i get in all my protein and other vitamins. I havent noticed any hairloss at all. Hopefully it continues this way. I bought the biotin from puritan's pride. Man, they were showing hair remedies for all kinds of hair trauma on Dr. Oz last night. I wish I kept it on that channel. However, Bridesmaids was on too. Haha. -
