It also depends in your dr some require Bariatric Vitamins

I think there were 4or 5 parts repeats and worded different on going to bathroom sex jobs wish this or that all sorts if weird questions just be honest I think they were 4-5 parts about 800 questions

You can get them free for 6 months from Bariatric Advantage you have to get your dr to download the forms and dr needs to fax back you have to do it twice cause they send 3 months at a time . In Bariatric Advantage website they have the forms. My dr faxed them the next day got an email they were going to ship. It's good for you to go on there site to register and they will send you free samples of protein and vitamins

I only had to go once take those test and talk for an hour

Question after surgery have you had bad dreams or thought something bad was going to happen to someone

I didn't have a drain tube my dr said depends an amount of drainage during surgery

I had Thyroid problems also but not like yours when I went in for surgery I was taking 125 m Levorthoxine but before I left hospital after surgery they dropped to 100 I was in hospital 6 days cause of other problems

I had problems after surgery but I would difently d o it again it a lot better the some of other problems you could have without doing the surgery there risk in everything you do there's moe risk getting in your car and having an accident about 100-1 I think BUT you just have to think all good things are worth the work it takes to get there and everyone's nervous a little scared and you have did this to yourself so you need to take responsibility for yourself and for your loved ones who don't want you to lose the quality of life you should be living. Yes it is a lot of work and Yes your life is going to change and there's lots to do and keep up with but you can do it and there's lots if support here and should be thru your dr SUPPORT groups Go if your dr offers classes GO its all there for your tacking so take it and you'll be much happier

Yes yes and yes I carry my weight from my mid waist down got my collar bone about 2 weeks after surgery

Lost 9 inches in my hips

That's what we're all here for to help and support each other

Good luck and you will finish your masterpiece

Put new batteries in the scale if they haven't been changed in a while

Try Voloks Greek yogurt 2x protein and add unflavored protein and flavoring or try Nectar protein they have fruit flavors and others that are good in yogurt or added to milk also Unjury chicken soup is good and there protein drinks have a much different taste and they have a sample pack from Unjury

I'm on map to had my gallbladder out Nov 2011 after had lots or all the time diarrhea I was to have colonoscopy done about same time but I got put off some cause of it but he put me on Welchol to help control it it helped a lot but when I started my liquid got a little bad again my surgeon said cause of only liquids it has finally settled down now I'm 7 weeks post op It's was really bad right after surgery didn't know if it was gas or something coming out they stopped the Welchol after surgery you can send me a personal message if you want to talk more about it I now it's not a fun thing. MFP email padlrd

They found mine during surgery and repaired it

Lisa needs to write a Bariatric Cook Book of Meals they all sound so good

Greek yogurt watch sugar Voskos 2x protein plain is better and add protein mix

Also as far as tired and withdrawn I personally think it depends on you and how you go into these just think you given a tool to get a new release on life use it but don't abuse it just think good thoughts keep yourself in an open peaceful frame of mind don't dread the protein shakes there a part of your life forever to help keep you healthy there's so many you can find one you like and just take it one day at a time don't let anyone get you down or make you think you've taken the easy way out if they haven't been through this they really don't know how much work it is its only hard if you make it that way I know I had problems after surgery with my heart and its still not wright but my surgery is fine and I can't exercise yet as I should be doing because of it but still doing all that I can. Everytime I would walk in the hospital codes would set off cause my heart monitor they would tell nurses to get me back in bed I told them I would when I finished my walk as my drs (2) had told me to do cause my heart rate went so high case I went into A-fib day after surgery so just keep happy positive thoughts and remember that the outcome is going to be a new Sexy you and we can't wait to unveil our selfs

I had the bypass cause there's more long term research and history then there is with the sleeve is newer so it doesn't have all the long term research and data I think it has personally to the amount of weight you have to lose I weighed 369 at my first appointment with my surgeon day of surgery 343 I did more the a month pre op liquid diet my dr required me to do 4 but I chose to do more I did my food funeral as everyone calls it and then said if I was doing this there's no reason to wait till my surgery I saw my dr first time in Early Nov he schedule me for Feb 21 then I got moved up a week so the 14

It's cause we're all going through the same thing and understand your family there for you but they can't complety understand what your going through they try but it's hard cause if your not physically going thought its hard cause there's so may emotions and felling you go through not beside everything you have to remember to do and watch so careful what you eat and try to get all your protein in and were all going through this so we understand

Unijury has a sample packet if the different flavors
