I'm a single parent. My friend took my then 15 year old for the four days I was in the hospital. My twin drove me, my mom came for extra support and my friend picked me up for days later. Once I was home I was pretty much on my own. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Maybe, never tried to subtract it and there are the occasional brown rice, sweet potato or barley days. Maybe once or twice a week and then I occasionally have Protein bars, so not perfect. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think low carb or no carb depends on what your nutritionist says and on your type of diet. I eat carbs. I try to stay around a hundred grams to one twenty grams a day. If I go over 140 I gain. If I go under one hundred I lose a couple of pounds. When o was in weight loss mode I stayed around 100. Most of my carbs are in veggie or fruit form, although I have a whole wheat English muffin every morning. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was lucky, I'm a para in a high school and I had a sleeve done two years ago. My insurance covered it, so I spent the school year jumping through hoops and was able to schedule it early in the summer. Be prepared for fatigue. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I would think you should be good to go then. At five weeks I was on regular food, so you should probably be on regular food and your energy levels should be good. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What the %^&*&^ is a TIC taco??? You've never had a taco flavored tic tac? It's the newest thing at Taco Bell right now . I like the chalupa flavored ones myself Sorry meant tic tac. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I occasionally have a piece of chocolate or a few tic tacos. Haven't tried skittles or laffy taffy. My thought is if they don't trigger you to over eat then once you're at goal, every once in a while wouldn't hurt. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I soo understand. I'm two years out and usually mindful of my eating and have few surprises, however I am suffering tonight after eating a little two much spaghetti and a Brussels sprout salad with light vinaigrette dressing. Followed by dance aerobics. It turned my stomach into a gas factory, bloated and in pain, after several hours it's passing, but wow! I will not do that again.

I'm 54, 52 when I had surgery, I noticed that I got forehead wrinkles and turkey wattles. The wattles are better although not gone and I'm getting used to the wrinkles. Of course my skin is loose in other areas, although exercise has tightened my abdomen some. All in all it's livable Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I get asked how much I can eat and there's a gentleman who freeks when he sees me . We've run into me twice since weight loss and did't recognize me at first either time and was excited both times with how I look. Drives me a little nuts. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm almost two years out and eat between 1,100 to 1300 calories a day. I eat between 60 and eighty grams of Protein a day. I try to eat no more than 120 grams of carbs a day. When I go over 150 grams, I gain. That said I have maintained my weight within a two pound variation for a year. I am still considered obese, but am a size 16 down from a size 26/28 and 100 pounds down so am happy. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had Surgery at fifty two and the only thing I regret is that I didn't do it sooner, I feel younger, healthier and even sexier, at times . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Belgium Guy, twinkles are gross, so you'r not missing anything, my nutritionist also said I could eat whole grain bread and Pasta, I just need to keep under 140 grams in carbs a day. I've lost 100 pounds and kept it off successfully for a year. Ignore the rudeness. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
