I thought I was hungry too. Nope it was acid. When I started my ppi the hunger dissapeared. It was acid I needed to be on prevacid

. I'm in toronto, but travelled to Montreal to dr Christou because mine was a revision (more complex) from a band. And dr Christou is very experienced with revisions

I track inches on my fitnesspal. I just had to customize the menu. I set it up to track waist, chest, hip and thigh measurements.

Toronto here, had my surgery in Montreal.

yep. I love steak. has to be cooked rare or medium-rare.

I'm in Ontario too. My advice is keep pureeing everything. You have a scarred baby stomach...variety is good though keep experiencing with recipes etc, it keeps things interesting and will help keep you satisfied and on track. I disagree with others on the blueberries though...make sure you puree them very well. At 3 months post op, I started having difficulty eating in the afternoon. Was burping a lot and felt uncomfortably full. This lasted till dinner, when I tried eating I threw up. A single blueberry from 2pm had lodged in my stomach and was blocking the way, it's that blueberry skin (little bugger) At 3 months post op, I was fine...at your stage....waaay too risky.

You've done great! I was only 3 months out in mine...still great to see the progress.

I do weigh and measure everything, then I portion it into servings. Myfitnesspal does the calculating for me

Are you on a ppi? I thought I had hunger pangs too. Turns out it was stomach acid. I went on Prevacid and within a day they were gone.

My leg are and always will be tree trunks...boobs will always be gigantic too. Would love to lose some off my boobs.

me pre-op and 3 months postop. About 60lbs down in this picture.

No the doctors usually use a formula. I've heard it is 100lbs for a woman at 5' tall, then you add 5lbs for every inch. So at 5'6 they would use 130lbs. Take your current weight, subtract 130 and the calculate 60%of that to be your weight loss estimate

New Year Challenge.xlsx spreadsheet attached...

I'm down to 194.2 this am. Smelling a stall this week....

Dang that's a long time. Thanks! I'm gonna go crazy for that long! Thanks !Sent from my VS985 4G using the BariatricPal App Yep, I was back (working from home after 1 week) in the office after 2. But still tired because the calories were so low. By 6 weeks you are able to consume a bit more, so better energy.

Let me add your weight loss is much faster than mine and I'm faster than my dietician expected. Plus you lost a ton before surgery...that counts you know..

Add me to your myfitnesspal. Travelher. My surgery is October 4 so look at November in my food diaries

It is gonna happen regardless of what you do and if you have a significant amount of weight to lose. I'm saving for plastics when the time arrives.

I'm surprise you diet allows you to have solids so close post op? Whole blueberries would not have been in my plan at that point and I had a liberal plan compared to most. Did your surgeon not provide you with portion sizes/ an eating plan? you said you feel full after eating so I really don't understand why you are concerned? Most people feel no restriction until after they start solids. I felt normal after surgery too. And relieved I didn't have complications that some others did, not worried. Sounds like you are fine.

You look amazing! 150 is my fantasy weight!

You'll need to be out for around 6 weeks which is how long people are typically limited with lifting..

I did. Were removed about 2 weeks later, but if they start getting red and angry like this picture, get them out right away. This was right after I had them removed. I developed what is called contact dermatitis. I was told by my doctor that I should have called as soon as they started looking angry like that
