Interesting!!! You lucky to have your daughters help, imagine those who have to go at it alone it dont even realize they need help. Oh yes! Every time I'm put on a new med Er it's chewed, I research it myself...I like to be in the loop, apparently its about control and OCD... but I'm not complaining VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Did you even feel the shot over the euphoria? CONGRATS Small leg Sue VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Perhaps, I never made it to support group, could not find out. I think they know the basics, absorption rates, interactions, etc. There's enough data , so they know what to avoid based on case study. I frequent med journals...but with any emerging technology you can't know everything The meds are adjusted months in advance to mitigate the effect of the change especially psych meds or slow release which need to be changed to regular...

Amazing! Thanks! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Very hard to tell what is used in fair food and how clean it is, it may just be a cleanliness issue or the oil used for the funnel cakes are not going to sit well with you I mm the future. Go easy for a while this may be your dumping syndrome, even sleevers can dump... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Yes, I boiled eggs then just ate the whites, eventually moved to the whole egg . this is still the only way I can really eat eggs 8 months later with no issues. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Maybe one day VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

OMG YASSSSSS Queen Adjust your crown you will get thereVSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Idk, maybe after doing it for a while you wouldn't even care anymore, but I've never done ketoI assume immediately after surgery would be he easiest transition if you have no hunger. I'm too far gone. Would you like to give it the old scientific method and try it with me? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Well congrats all around VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I *could* do this by eating avocados and chicken salad (just those two things basically) but it wouldn't be feasible for long because it would get old in a couple of months VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

When you leave it will be a disservice to the newbies that have no clue about the possibility of following the Mayo clinic diet, the stats on VSG outcomes, etc. that you are so passionate about. I challenge you about fitting in. Now its about giving back the support to others... You are leaving a void. As all VETS do when they just leave VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I'm going to go there because it needs to be said, it was a low blow to bring up someone's health problems to sway an argument in your favor. It wasn't even necessary. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I have been on multiple threads with them but the OP and other people may still want info... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Don't leave the conversation, no one will ever get the information that YOU have to offer. I hate that these threads take these turns but we NEED all perspectives out there. So please stick around, continue to help VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Congrats on your success, again! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

What type of foods are you preparing, can your sibling exercise with you (make it seem like playtime etc)?VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Its only the second month, give it a little time some strong effort, you'll do amazing (Men always lose a lot more than women but who's counting lol) VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Sorry my phone was busy playing music for the workout session... Next time VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Can you feasibly go back to basics? Protein then vegetables then complex carbs sparingly, min of 80 g Protein since you are a lifting male, 90 oz fluids (doesnt have to be just Water )Cut out ALL OTHER FOODS that might slow down progress You may need more cals, but the right kind, boost your calories and protein with Protein Shakes Sorry TMI but how are your bowel movements, if not super regular, weight loss will stall I know for a fact Get ahold of your team or NUT and make a plan, very important to let them know you have concerns, bug them and don't feel bad about it at all, you pay good money for their medical attention. Also I was stalled for a month during the second month, it happens VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Also how long have you been stalled for? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

My surgery was at 5 am , surgeon and surgical staff were clear, bright and happy they actually clapped and cheered as they rolled me drug loopy into the OR, amazing experience. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

NP and if that is the case take body measurements, notice the reshaping of your physique, tone of your muscles,texture of your skin etc as indictors of change (not just loss of weight) and muscle burns calories while in a state of rest, and men's bodies reshape differently after wls. Only month 2, you got this! If really worried, contact your team...VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

If you are heavy lifting, you may be putting on more muscle mass causing the stall ,perhaps Matt can confirm, same thing happened to me when I started weight training. You may want to check out the guys room forum for more specialized info on that VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Awesomesauce! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169
