How much weight did everyone lose on the optifast preop diet?
Gingebinge replied to Gingebinge's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
He didn't say how much I should lose...but on hearing some peoples experiences I got a little worried. I guess all I can do is follow the diet he set. Thanks for your support girls!! ???? Sent from my SM-N910W8 using the BariatricPal App -

Gingebinge posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on day 12 and a little worried that I haven't lost enough weight. I'm hearing that most people lose 25 to 30 lbs! I've followed the diet to the T but I'm only down 17 lbs! With only 2 more days to go I'm getting a little nervous that it's not enough. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using the BariatricPal App -
Will WLS work if the problem isn't overeating?
Gingebinge replied to WitchySar's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Bottomline is everyone is different and no one has the right to say what makes another person gain extra weight than themselves and their doctor! To judge or throw personal opinions out. If someone that had wls believes that it's the food then chances are that's because that was their personal challenge. Inactivity and overeating. It is a proven fact by medical doctors that medication, disease and certain health conditions affect the body differently...so to all you out there fighting the basic public believe that all fat people are lazy overeaters just ignore them. Peace love and no judgements my peeps! ✌❤???? Sent from my SM-N910W8 using the BariatricPal App -

Not all obesity problems come from overeating or chosing the wrong foods. Alot of it has to do with how your body processes these foods! For example I have pcos. I don't eat alot. I don't eat junk food...but anything that goes in my body my pcos turns into fat for fuel. I will never normally process food. There is no medication. Surgery is the only option to get healthy again. Never get disillusioned. Talk to your doctor's and they'll figure your body out...what YOUR body needs. Hope this helped a little ???? Sent from my SM-N910W8 using the BariatricPal App -
Tomorrow is my day

I would cry as much as you can! Get it out now. Go through the emotional Rollercoaster and try to wrap your head around the surgery. You're doing it to better your life! It's going to go well and you are strong enough to handle anything!! I have been told by one of my friends that had it done that she was extremely emotional before her surgery. ..so emotional they had second thoughts of doing it! She finally held it together and had to convince them this is what she really wanted. Wouldn't want anything like that to happen to you. Stay strong and remember why you are doing this hun. Best of luck we all now you'll do wonderfully!!! Sending support Sent from my SM-N910W8 using the BariatricPal App -
Nail polish/Acrylic nails
Gingebinge replied to still_dna's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Absolutely! They can determine your oxygen level by looking at your nail beds. If you have polish on they can't tell. The anesthetist will be looking closely. Best of luck!! Mines in 10 days! Eek Sent from my SM-N910W8 using the BariatricPal App -

Almost 2 weeks out and I feel like I can eat everything lmao
Gingebinge replied to DFernandez718's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You're making me hungry! Can't wait for those days again. Only on 3rd day of preop and my body is not happy. Was very excited when I read your post. 3 and a half weeks isn't that bad I guess. Sounds like your surgery went great! Happy for you Sent from my SM-N910W8 using the BariatricPal App -
