Amazing!

Could the milk have spoiled?

This is going to be a tough. Be prepared to fight harder than ever for yourself and your marriage, but its worth it. Safe Journey!

Sure! But you don't need something fancy just clean up your diet I mini reset every month (9 months post op) to make sure I don't go too far off plan. I just eat basics of my plan again. Return to basics, single ingredient foods. COOK EVERYTHING.TRACK EVERYTHING. DRINK WATER Some examples Breakfast: Eggs/yogurt/protein shakes/turkey sausage 30 mins or more later drink 24 oz of water Snack: Strawberries 30 mins or more later drink 24 oz of water Lunch: Grilled chicken over salad/turkey/beef burger wrapped in lettuce/tuna salad with celery sticks 30 mins or more later drink 24 oz of water Snack: Protein bar/shake 30 mins or more later drink 24 oz of water Dinner: Curried Lamb over cauliflower/ beef and broccoli /garlic chicken and cabbage 30 mins or more later drink 24 oz of water You got this!

Less than 40 carbs a day and of those total carbs less than 20 grams of them sugar ( this *may* get you into ketosis, the lower you go on the numbers the faster you'll get there)

Avoid the temptation to drink alcohol and carbonated beverages, have fun!

Have you tried Parmesan crackers/chips yet?

Amazing! You and Your surgeon are so confident you should have known you would have amazing results!

I scar terribly so I consulted with my dermatologist and she suggested silicone patches or sheets. I have not started yet because I'm lazy and no one sees my stomach lol Also I've thought about it for a bit and I'm pretty sure if I really wanted to speed up the disappearance of the scars I could use my prescription retinol cream on it.

We need some bariatric substitute Pinterest leaders... Food exercise lifestyle, I'd follow

My surgeon required that I have it for about 2 weeks to draw out excess fluids from the surgical site. Some surgeons do not use it. Its a mater of practice and preference. I like to believe that every little precaution and step my surgeon took lead to my flawless recovery.

Amazing!

CONGRATS!!! Speedy recovery

Can you store them at your gym as incentive for going? Can you stop buying bulk items that will potentially ruin your goals. Have you seen your NUT or team and asked for additional supports like group meetings or a revised plan to accommodate your lifestyle? If you want to be successful you really need to make some changes and the sooner the better. I don't know if you heard this info but we have a honeymoon period of weight loss where its almost effortless then afterwards you have to fight for every pound lost. You may be squandering your opportunity by indulging in things that won't help with weight loss.

Yay!!!! So glad your NUT had some answers for you and unfortunately some people never lose the hunger sensation. Eat as close to plan as you can for the best outcome and safe journey!

Totally going to try this

The plot thickens...

At 2.5 weeks post op ( now 3) pizza is not on the OPs plan. Telling her its ok is bad advice

How far out from surgery is everyone?

They sound AMAZING for people who want to stay on plan and lose more than 20lbs...

Please research Telogen Effluvium and WLS for a full understanding of what to expect. Also your experience will vary wildly and unpredictably. I had mild hair loss compared to most but whether it was prayer, genetics or supplementation (or everything) is up in the air.

I have turn of the millennium stretch marks, someone finds a cure please let me know...

Unfortunately you can't delete these threads, they are here forever What you have to understand is mostly everyone here is a patient not a spouse so they have to fiercely protect their reasonings for surgery in a world that calls it elective when most of the time is life saving. So you look aggressively against it, it sends up red flags and they want to protect her and her decision . I'm going to side with you because you asked for help. You believe that there is a problem then get proof. Otherwise if there is no physical problems there may have developed a mental problem. It is not uncommon for food aversion or anorexia to develop after WLS. still you need proof and proper medical attention for your wife. Take a step back from your aunts story ( my sincerest condolences, really, tragic...) And carefully/quietly observe your wife to see what's really going on. Is she not eating because she can't or does not want to? Is she low energy or no energy? Subtle differences will help you determine how best to help Hoping the very best for your family

Ok so instead of suggesting weight training which apparently is patronizing, I suggest physical therapy to repair the muscle you believe have atrophied. HOWEVER ONLY A DOCTOR CAN DIAGNOSIS THIS... BTW, I'm in both physical therapy and began to weight train so I'm not suggesting things I haven't tried, and this was after a real problem not something pretend.
