I could be wrong but doesn't dumping have to do with eating sugar...or fruits high in fructose? Could u just be having some food intolerances? I hear many people develop that after they get sleeved. Haven't had surgery yet but my surgeon told me that sleeves don't get dumping because their wasn't any bypassing, just my 2 cents

If my man starts complaining about the look of my body as I lose weight instead of being supportive....then he can kiknrocks because most definitely their will be a new man out there who will love the new healthier me!

Ditto

Ummm any responses lol....smh

Anyone have to take prevpak for h pylori preop? The diarrhea is killing me! I take yogurt, kefir probiotics pepto bismol, nothing helps. I can't wait for the 14 days to end!

Yes I was done last Thursday. Still having diarrhea lol but now it's down once a day.

Premier protein shakes from Costco/sams club are not bad

I'm natural now did my big chop in February after transitioning for 5 months I'm taking biotin now for growth and hopefully as a preventative for when I get sleeved. However from what I've read on this forum and from my surgeon the hair loss has to do with protein intake and hormone imbalances during weight loss. For some people it's unavoidable and their are some lucky ones, but I heard it grows back , this was part of the reason I cut my hair prior to surgery so the hair loss wouldn't be as traumatizing.

I'm riding the bandwagon anyone in northern Cali?

Testing my ticker factory

Congrats I'm envious!

Thank you....insurance companies just want u to jump through their hoops!

Your welcome

I was gaining weight during my nutritional visits, mine was not so much anxiety more the fact that I felt like I won't be able to eat these things very soon so why not enjoy it now. My NUT recommended I follow a low carb diet and sustitute one of my meals with a protein shake. She said its a good way to try out protein shakes for the future and for me a good way to ease myself into my 2 week liquids only preop diet.

Basic questions a little background on you, family support, why you are doing this, ramifications of surgery, eating habits, addictions etc. mostly they want to know that you are fully aware of what surgery entails, how it will affect your life in the future and if you have good support systems

My last Nutrition appt woohoo!!! Just got back from my last nutrition appt, even though I gained 8 lbs since the last appt she didnt extend it yay! So NUT said she would submit info to surgeon today. 10 mins later I got a call from the surgeon's nurse saying she was going over my paperwork and would submit today! She said anthem blue cross takes between 1 to 2 weeks for approval so I'm hopeful.

I tried to add you but that user name didn't work....maybe it's me

Lol

It's available on android and online as well

Congrats! I will subscribe soon as I get my date I will vlog on YouTube as well.

Thanks guys I'm adding y'all....it's a good tool to keep you on track, using it off and during this preop phase but will probably be more consistent once I get sleeved.

Does anyone use my fitness pal? Still in Pre approval stage but want to start using it more consistently and would like to add some friends my user name on their is csamibe....feel free to add me thanks.

Anti depressant drugs affect insulin levels and in some people raise blood glucose levels causing insulin resistance which affects weight loss and usually causes weigh gain. Metformin helps to combat insulin resistance not only diabetics take it. Blood sugar of 95 is not Pre diabetic but your headed towards the higher end of Normal so yo could probably benefit from metformin. It's also prescribed to women with PCOS because they tend to be insulin resistant.
