Were they up prior to surgery? It goes hand in hand with fatty liver. Mine have returned to normal just months after surgery. They will probably do an ultrasound to confirm. Hope it's all ok.

Come back to it in a month. That and turkey breast are over half of my diet.

Take the long view. If you follow the plan, you will lose the weight. I have weighed every single day since Aug 4, and I have worried. It's not worth obsessing over. It will come off, commonly in a stair step fashion. One week you will lose 7 lbs, and then the next you won't budge. Start trying on clothes. That's better than the number on a scale anyway.

The only thing you will probably welcome me saying is that I am so sorry about what you have been through. I couldn't imagine waking up to that. I had scared myself silly over the liver shrinking and the possibility of waking up without having the surgery completed. That said, you're just over the typical BMI for insurance approval. No one here would suggest that it will be easy, or we wouldn't be getting surgery to overcome our weight problems, but you really aren't so far gone that you cannot lose the weight on your own. I know that wanting to add to the family is a very strong motivator. I know that wanting to reduce the daily pains of being heavy is a strong motivator. It all still comes down to calories in vs. calories out. Heal up and get on with it. None of this is for nothing. Best of luck.

I was back after one week. You never know about complications, but if there are none, you should be feeling fine to do that type of work.

I had the same reaction after coming off of lisinopril. It's a good thing. Congrats on the new start.

Wait to buy any winter clothing. You'll likely begin to go down sizes soon, but you can always buy at the time for the right fit that will last.

I like the premier Protein shakes. They are convenient. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Had a glass of wine two weeks post op. Was fine. I have a nightly whisky but work it in to staying at or below 1000 calories. Losing weight steadily. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If you are not, use some mirilax or Metamucil caplets. Don't strain yourself. That cost Elvis his life.

That's not grazing that's trying to get your Protein in. This should not concern you until you're eating more. Do what you have to do to get your nutrition in. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Don't compare your home scale numbers to your doctors' scale numbers.

Never vomited. Inscision site pain and constipation were really the only issues I had.

40 minutes is a lot of drive time. Have you looked at a treadmill or exercise bike?
