Why are you going to eat food that doesn't help you with weight loss? Why did you even get the surgery if the rules are rules to ignore.... Basically it's your life don't cheat your way through it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Body alignment is very important!! You only have one back. So a place that has free trainers is planet fitness it only cost $10 a month they have a lot of machines too. I use the elliptical, treadmill, and the 30 min room. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Need Advice/Help Please
melbell2222 replied to vleesleeved's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yeah you need to get on his case bc it sounds like you have a leak and will kill you!!!!! Throwing up is a no and not being able to get stuff down is a big no too!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Well you have to find out why! There is always a reason behind the complications. Did the person not get up and walk? Did the infection come from dirty house, dirty careless care, or from touching stuff at the hospital? Mood swings from her attitude in the first place? Many many possibilities but if it's a greater chance to die getting a gallbladder out, you should be fine. Just do things by the book if your worried Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Major depression and getting approved
melbell2222 replied to Frenchie1977's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Start with getting rid of the people or the thing that is bringing on the depression! Go outdoors and smell flowers breathe in the fresh air. Sit in a chair outside and watch nature( birds fly, bees) do things differently I'm sure there is no need to stress over it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

TMI post, ladies this post is mostly directed for us!
melbell2222 replied to caseycat7's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes yogurt is a good way to keep them away. But what my nutrition said is we will get them and it's do to not taking in the probiotics. vagisil cream is also nice to keep the PH in balance down there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
The point is a lot of us have food addiction hints how we got obese. So putting in the food we eat before surgery has a higher risk of bingeing on it till we get sick Or only reaching for the high carb foods.... It's your belly and what you put in it is under your control... But do know a lot of people do fail and gain back the weight bc they reached for the carbs to many times.
