I still eat at restaurants..Mexican mainly..I order chicken and eat it and beans. .my protein levels were surprisingly great eating this way..I get a go box and eat it 2 more times at home

I never had them before..my stress is not related to my surgery..all my blood work was normal..

I have them..wondered..thought it was lack of sleep and stress

I'll have to remember this...i know i don't drink enough...

My surgeon and diet doc both said you don't actually stretch it..the swelling goes down and you can eat more...also i was told those who graze all day gain.. 5 small meals and not constantly eating wrong choices

I still have the same problem..i was sleeved 9/23... i envy those who can drink all their fluids..i was never a big drinker even before the surgery

I was just going on what the head of that department told me since She was in on all decisions..she said the insurance company dropped them due to the huge amt of gastric surgeries. .at upwards to 25000 each the ins company lost money..

They change insurance periodically.. blue cross blue shield..and they would not accept resigning the company. .they stated it was due to the surgeries. . It is a Indian Casino.. massive revenue. ..

I actually do several of these things within my community. .i did not expect such an outcry on this post..i should had never posted..

Why do people care about anything others do ? I worry about everyone. its a fault of mine.. also so many people got wls at my daughter's job that they canceled the company insurance... it was insane how many people got the surgery because so and so got it.. most were not prepared and have lost little weight and are miserable with their decision... i am not saying people who need to lose 50 lbs don't need or deserve the surgery but how many people use it as a quick fix...this is a life change and not to be taken lightly... so many jump in without consideration in my area.. off the top of my head i know personally 14 people that had the surgery..of those 8 did it because others did and eat whatever whenever with no regards for their plan.. They do not take the surgery seriously... it requires discipline and dedication..if people see this as a quick fix or a easy way out they will fail..i applaud those who take it seriously and fear for those who did this on a whim..

Once again i was asking opinions ..i didn't not wish to get everyone on the defensive..these days people look for a quick Fix and i personally know people who never dieted a day in their lives bit opted for weight loss surgery.. it steamed Me since i used it as a last resort... my doctor had turned people like this away only to find they went elsewhere,usually Mexico..many gained weight back since they possessed no dieting skills...

I was told by my surgeon that after surgery as our stomach heals can eat more..i contribute that ability to healing

K i see i pissed some off sorry i should had been more clear..the people i am referring to had a starting weight of 50lbs over..most had surgery out of the country..some docs will do anything if you pay them...i am not saying they did not struggle but i see surgery as a final resort..

I belong to several weight loss groups on Facebook and other types of media. I have noticed that there are several people that just need to lose a few pounds and are already slim. They are having weight loss surgery to lose may be 50 pounds or so. They already look like they are at a good weight. Do you feel that some of these people are having weight loss surgery and they really do not need it they are just thinking this is an easy way out. What do you think about the doctors that are doing this?

I eat the top only..straight protein.. when we make pizza as home i use wonton wrappers for my crust
